I was talking to a player the other day that started in 05. They explained that the Lands of Magic had been a part of SoD ingame, and that there was an event which ultimately removed it from the game. I knew that this had existed in the Lore, but didn't know that took place during SoD's playable past (WR obv). I guess I just assumed that it was part of the backstory that was created when the server was created.
Now, I was around for the Vah coming back from the Lands of Magic, and I'm doing the Vah now, so I wont ask anything bout them, but I am curious as to when the Taldorians came to Dalaya from the LoM. What year was this irl?
Also, I read about the corruption being worse than it is now, corrupted mobs being pretty pwn even, maybe? Was there a time when players were raiding the Badlands to clear them?
Was there a time when the Faydarks were raid zones?
I assume Athica was raided in order to liberate it, was that just an event, or was it a raid zone for a while? Any writeups?
What zones did WR start with? And which ones of those zone had to be freed? And when (roughly) did that freeing take place irl?
