druid rings in gfay

[Hyperbase-1999]

Assets moved faster than lore, so there will be inconsistencies.

Like, where did the wood for the karana bridge come from? Why is it so big? Why does Innoruuk have a troll face? Who is the Rat King?

I always liked the fact that EQ had a lot of logic early on and little lore... Allowd it to expand.

I can not imagine all the work and code it takes to think up all the faction stuff and quests in a MMO, let alone all the rest of it. I really can't fathom how it is even pulled off. A LOT of imagination sure has to be involved to make it successful.

I've not found specific lore on them.

I would point out a few things though...

There are more "broken" druid rings in the world. Lfay has like 2+ ... a set by the entrance to MM and a set closer to the Gfay zone line.

The Ranger "Faydark" port on the BP drops you in Lfay right at the Gfay zone line.... of all places.

IF... you were to take into consideration EQII - Gfay ends up with another druid ring set that is functional.

One aspect to this game is that while they try to suggest and make it feel like an "evolving" world... for the most part, things do not change - you (or your character rather) do... So it's simply stuck at a point and most everything is about "what was".

Right now the point is there are several broken port points that would have been awesome to have working. lol.

There is also a ring in Rathe Mountains that has NPC druids around...

And of course, the odd-ball East Karana rings used for the evac...

I've often wondered about the broken rings around. I love that part of the game (and WoW): little flavor accents designed into zones. I appreciate when things are present "just because" or they fit into the landscape, but have no other purpose. A programmer had to put it there.

In Butcherblock Mountains, there are free-standing stone stellae here and there with primitive glyphs. As a dwarf, I like to pretend they are from pre-civilization dwarf cultures that would form Kaladim.

I wonder if there are any stories about weird parties thrown at the chess board in old long lost norrath...
