As you probably know from the earlier topic I posted, I just got back from like a year break, and Amia has changed!

First thing I noticed, aside from some new guards in South Cordor, was that the old ship I used to take out to Brogendenstein was retired! Then, I went to use my portal rod (carefully marked with almost every possible location within Amia)... and it poofed, leaving behind a mesage about using portal wands!

"Aw," I thought, "Well at least I can just warp back to my home in Uhm..." except there wasn't an option for that anymore and I ended up just catching a boat there instead. Curious to see what other things had changed in Amia, I went wandering around and soon discovered that Amia forest was now crawling with Gnomes (?!) instead of the good old Medusas and Ettins and those annoying sprite things. Can't say I miss 'em, but still was a surprise.

That said, my biggest surprise so far was in that temple out in the same forest. You know, the one that was dedicated to that evil god... except now it's a crypt full of gnomes and... gasp! The entrance to the fun part of it had=s collapsed and they built a shrine to some random god there!

You guys sure must have been busy with Amia while I've been gone! So much has changed that it half feels like a totally new place now, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. It's kinda fun exploring, but at the same time I get lost a lot now since I end up in new and unfamiliar places everywhere I go...

(And yes, I DID notice that you'd split Amia up into multiple servers)

Don't worry.. I have the same problem, I was gone for like.. half a year to a year and there's still new places I haven't seen! I'm scared to go out looking around incase I die a lot.. and because I have a terrible sense of direction and still get lost in the forest now days.

The new ships + carts make it pretty easy to get around though.

There's so many changes I can't recall half of them. Probably best to read the announcements change lists in order, if you want to know what's been changed. Though, it's also just fun to go around, find new things, get frustrated at times because things have changed a lot, and be overjoyed with other changes.

Yeah... I really like the job system addition, for one thing.

I did notice though (with some confusion) that the clothes shop was closed down? What happened, did everyone decide to go naked? (Good thing I have some spare outfits, at least!)

I haven't even been gone, and I find new stuff and get lost every day.

In spite of having played here for soon almost two years, a provided map and countless of time spent on lectoring me about the geography of the Forest of Dispair.. I still get lost every single time I go into that wood.

I will always have to keep running in one direction and hope I'll end up somewhere near the exit I was looking for.

So it happens to all of us.
