    just a "toot my own horn" update

    I'm quite pleased to find out that the gnome on duty in Ocllo was used to cast 54 gates today to various locations. A strong majority of those were to the dungeons in its list. This gnome also passed out 35 runekits.... all on a Tuesday?

    Conversely, the gnome in Papua cast 3 gates and passed out no kits. There are many great locations to yuck it up and have some fun. C'mon down and give The Lost Lands (T2A) a try. Check out my post in this thread about specific locations to explore.

    Ya haven't lived till you tried to survive wyvern island with no cure potions. Or perhaps you'd like to poke a cyclops in the eye and make fun of it's mother? Trot across the frozen tundra to the OTHER ogre lord spawn? Or, better yet, have you seen the evil mage tower random spawn? Ascend the tower, fighting your way through crazed blood mages til you reach the top to battle the big boss. Good loot, and a chance to return a captive to their home!

    C'mon down to Papua.... I'll even gate you to Delucia but, put a cloths pin on your nose first... they all stink over there.

    As always 9/10, would use again.

    (Only 9 because that gnome's breath smells of leeks and cold broth.)

    Truly, a great service to the lands.

    Wherever the kidnapping family takes it, of course.

    State of The Gnomnion Address

    Let me begin by recognizing that the state of our server is strong because our players are strong. Together we are building a fun, functional, and stable server. Since Gnometrotter's began, we have given free passage to 1000's of Britannians.

    Citizens are breaking out of Ocllo. This is in fact our new Sosarian moment. There has never been a better time to start living the Britannia dream. With the help of Gnometrotter Travel Service, we are seeing citizens establishing themselves sooner than ever before. These migrants are branching out on their own strengthened by the assistance of travel gnome moongates. They dared to dream and through hard work and determination became the adventurer, the crafter, the rogue, the PK... they became what they wanted to be. Impossible became possible.

    Be it cities, dungeons, or "other" citizens are leaving the overpopulated Ocllo territory and settling abroad. This is good for our economy. This is good for our future.

    Finally, we're seeing a rise in travel to and from The Lost Lands after months of stagnation. Players are finding independence and wealth after properly migrating to Papua. We recognize our troubles with illegal immigration from Delucia. These Delucians are traveling dangerously on their own as they attempt to migrate improperly. Through public relations and an advertisement campaign, we are sure the word will reach these dreamers and they will learn to see Papua as the one true land of freedom.

    From this excerpt of our daily metrics you can clearly see activity is on the rise. Up is our only direction.

    2018-02-02 16_43_57-CompatWindow.png

    It is time to rebuild our fast travel service... I am working tirelessly to upgrade the system to give us the safe, fast, reliable, and modern fast travel our citizens and our server deserves. New system, new locations, improved reaction time, and even bulk commodities as our gnomes break out into a massive and modern manufacturing campaign.

    The developer built this server but, it's the people who came to this server and it will be the people that make this server great again.

    Hey, just wanted to let you know. The gnome-gates to Ice are going to Deceit instead. Tried multiple times and multiple levels. The Deceit destinations work properly..

    There's no place like gnome.

    But, more seriously, thank you for providing this service. Using it reminded me of the old days: going to banks and asking people for gates to whereever on my warrior.

    Take care.

    Thanks!

    The gnome was confused and using the wrong book. He has been taken out of service for rehabilitation and promptly replaced with a fresh gnome.

    Again, thank you for choosing Gnometrotter Travel Service. We look forward to seeing you again.

    Well, until we figure out reagent-less gate travel... we must supply our employees with standard reagents.

    We are however experimenting with a new gnomish technology they've oddly dubbed, "Gaseous Emanation".

    I myself being a layman, am not sure on the specifics but they've switched to a diet comprised of a lot of beans and beer. *shrugs*

    I'll be brief...

    Due to the war in Britannia, the travel gnomes are moving to a completely random and unreliable work schedule.
