A history of Arcadia

[thorgot]

07/26/07
The topic is started on the PA forums. The original group (vhzod, Marshall, and Kazhiim) try to get people to play Wurm. They start escorting people to PAville, which is northwest of Bear Mountain.

The PAville area, which the dig team discovers has a very high bedrock which would limit terraforming, is evacuated. People begin moving to Arcadia. One group of two dozen people sets off together, making the journey from Newtown in around four hours.

TheMarshall resigns and Kazhiim takes over as our leader.

Arcadia's first road is built, running south and connecting directly to the East and West lakes.

08/08/07
The mansion on the fourth tier is completed.

---

08/09/07
The digging team finishes terraforming the second tier. All that remains is the lowest.

We hit the mark of 50 active people! A tunnel is dug under a mountain to provide a shortcut, but silver is found instead.

08/12/07
The first bed is completed; the only person who can make sheets uses it so tailoring will rise faster.
08/25/07
Compasses are made in Arcadia's first olive season!
08/29/07
An alliance with Sanctum, finally.

If you can think of any major events, feel free to post them!

Two knuckles start digging into the mountain. The next day the tunnel is 50 squares deep and has run into a silver vein.

I'd suggest that's fairly important. And maybe whenever we officially had a 'complete' path from NewTown to Arcadia (I think it was the 7th or more likely the 8th).

We don't have a 'complete' path until we have stone slab/cobblestone running from Arcadia to NT, IMO.

[webguy]

I second that

that will really help with new player retention, i think... a lot of newbies fail making the trek to arcadia without it being easy :/ some signposts where there are forks in the road would really help too.
