Now this is ... old... but awsome. so why is it gone.

[Machariel]

Well last night i was testing my brain cells trying to remember a username and password of a trail account i opened looong long ago and locked the name i wanted for my dragon.

the 1st thing i noticed as we.. i was bount to a place i have never heard of, or well forgot. and its not on the map. it did place me on new k but as i moved my little white dot on the map was non exsistant. as i walked up i came across 1 aswsome building and a huge cave.

well i took pics. This char was created on 2004 when i first tried the game yeah i know its photobucket but well im lazy to open somthing else up, anyhow here is the link to my folder with all the pics i took. enjoy.

Oh yes the old training isle, it was so beautiful. I still miss it.

[Zexoin]

This is a very nice looking place. Would be great if it was available again. Maybe use it for some other purpose ?

[Carsia Wolfsong]

Why did they change it in the first place anyhow.. I thought it was a lovly place.. That was where I did my first Biped Moreen from on my old account. Its too bad that we can't go back on there.

Thanks for the screenshots. I agree that it should be reutilised.

[AmonGwareth]

The structures aren't complete structures so its actually hard to reuse them. The island itself was not good for a well rounded tutorial like Spirit Isle. Oh and there are 10 or 11 islands all right next to each other, I forget.

Is NT one of those ?

[velveeta]

pretty awesome pix tho - if that code is still around somewhere, maybe we will see some form of these areas back in game some day.....

[Takora Drakan]

Maybe open the gates that we can attune there and get there again? Just for the memories?

[Terao]

It looks real nice, a pitty that those places ain't used anymore. And I'd like the armor Hegran carries

[Favoran]

Heh, I've only heard of the island, never actually seen any of it. Thanks for the pics!

So does that mean that one could, perhaps, reach these by flying off the map of NT? XD Or does Trismus have as solid of a border as the rest of Istaria?

[AmonGwareth]

No, I don't think you could reach them by flying. The original tutorial islands aren't the newbie islands (NT, NV, NB, NK).

[Firebrand]

Istaria has many nice unused assets. These are beautiful examples. That's really a pity to not see them elsewhere.
You should really use some of those lost treasures, if possible, when you will revamp areas.

[Justa Mirage]

If memory also serves me, this is the only place to get the "Boom!" spell and the training resources to make it.

[AmonGwareth]

Well, see the catch is that they can't be easily reused. You see, that wonderful building doesn't have an exterior. In fact, if you see it from the outside it is transparent. All of the structures on that island are like that.

The armor and clothing that you see NPCs on the island wearing aren't armor and clothing at all. Those NPCs are entirely a single texture (including their face). So it can't be reused.

[Shian]

Cut the armor out of them then?

[Zexoin]

Cut the armor out of them then?

exactly what I was going to say

[Guaran]

Thats know a Ritual Circle, the name of the initial bind location for new toons back then. There was 6 or 8 of those islands, in a seperated off area of the map, arranged in 2 rows of 3 or 4 islands.

Like amon said, when viewed from the outside the buildings were see-thru.

The nice thing is there in the Dragon cave is where all the dragon tapestries are visible. Not sure they have ever been used anywhere else except the one mural we can put in lairs.

[Vaz]

Just make it possible to teleport to the island?

[Chasing]

Dragon Taps

BTW I have some BOOM spells if people need some.
