Exploring the new Xan

Recommended Posts

I've been exploring a bit of Xanadu on the east through my main account, and the south and west on alts. It's a bit fascinating to see all the abandoned ruins, with their impressive colossus statues standing watch over the empty plains, saying "Look at my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

That got me to thinking about what are the remaining outposts of civilization. Of course there are individuals off in random places all over the map enjoying their peace and quiet, but where are the main centers that still see people conglomerate?

 

So far I've noticed three areas with a decent population nearby (though not always in immediate Local), roughly centered around a respective starter town:

 

  • Summerholt area
  • Glasshollow area
  • Lormere and surrounding peninsulas

 

What are some other areas that I might have missed with active pops? I've heard things about Esteron but haven't had a chance to visit down there yet. I'd like to add a few more places to my exploration list -- too bad there isn't skill gain for just sailing and horseback riding around the world.

The Esteron area has definitely been growing these last several months.

 

Here's our alliance markers for deeds. There are a few not on there since I last took that screen shot.

If you happen to come to the area PM Beastwolf or myself, we're on a decent amount :)

Newspring island is fairly populated. You have to have a boat in order to leave :)

I will definitely check that area out at some point. Working on a project currently, but Esteron is my next vacation destination. ;)

Oh yea, Glasshollow is definitely one of the more populated areas, no doubt about that. Although lately it seems your Local has spilled over into Forum :lol:

Nothing wrong with that! Sometimes I enjoy being off doing my own thing as well.

Yea I almost mentioned Newspring when I said Lormere, since I feel like the peninsula area from Lormere to Newspring is all fairly populated. But good point about the island.

Island life is fun, so many mobs you training fighting passviyl faster than you do the skill you're trying to work on.

A few of us are in p22/23 and have a market there (Rag and Bone market). So not far from the  Esteron area.
