Hi there, I'm still in the same spot (Crystal Hills) although I've expanded since you last saw it.
Mystecore sold his two main a/cs, but came back on Dark Malice (although he is on a break at the moment).
I'm sorry to report that I don't think Faetyl will be coming back to Wurm, but Arson in his village is still active (albeit at a new deed) and you have a great new next door neighbour, Lowthorn as well as TheLastOne a short boat ride away on Micket's old plot.
The area remains quiet, but there are some new people building a good looking base (Raven) on Carm's old plot, Dadd is adding an impressive desert next to the city, Ruthie is helping ForestGrump and we are lucky enough to have not one but two GMs nearby now (Pacer and Emoo, after his recent promotion) so I'm pleased to see friendly people passing through my local from time to time. Still some trolls spawning up around the Sheerfall area, but Emoo does a good job culling them and I've bumped into him a couple of times up there.
Hope this finds you well; might see you back soon.
