Can you get to Ancient Greece if you have not been there before?

I wouldn't say people exploiting the situation are scammers.... opportunists perhaps? ;) I know it is unfair on new people but there is part of me that kind of likes that there is a place some players can go while others cannot... I've actually always wanted this although I wanted it to be the result of purposed in game design, not an un-maintained planet.

Annoyed with MA's response though... pffft! "when Next Island releases new content". They know that isn't going to happen!

 

... I agree, but not if the reason for it are bugs in the system like bugged missions.

 

Did you have time crystals in your inventory?

 

In 4 days, it will be 10 years for me, and while I don't participate in the universe anymore, I continue to download new VU's and keep 9 alive, even though she has nothing but her skills and what she's wearing, SO ...

After updating everything a couple of nights ago for the first time in months, I decided to log into the universe to see how things are. I was standing at the Celeste North TP on Arkadia. I have more than what I need with regard to requirements to run EU, but it took a bit for the environment to render, and after I turned and walked to the TP to head to the Quarry, I got the infamous blue screen of death.

I mention all of this, because as much as I love the universe, and as much as I REALLY want to play in it, it continues to be a disappointment. It's a damn shame that with all the good stuff MA is making an effort to implement, that they also don't give more attention to quality checks.

It's been quite a while since anything has been done with Next Island after that PP fiasco, and I wouldn't hold out any hope that anything will be done anytime too soon, which is a shame, because I really liked Next Island too. Maybe they'll surprise us, but I'm on the same page as Tass in that MA should employ better communication with the players, especially when things are known not to be working. I tend to agree with Wistrel too that the people selling non-usable items at auction for Greece are "opportunists" rather than scammers, but aren't both behaviors indicative of "deception" ... just sayin' ... even though that's not a true statement with regard to "opportunists" ... that could be a more positive action at times.

MA needs to stop it.

 

this is very unfortunate for you at this time but once... FUMA!

 

Er... are the items non usable? If so that is bad (and a problem since I own greece items, although mostly I wear them). Sorry I should clarify, I meant the opportunists were people selling stuff FROM Greece at a higher markup presumably because a lot of the new players cannot go there any more to get the items themselves. The items should still be usable.

If people are selling items that can't be used, that is different.

Incidentally, I heard a rumour that all Greece TT items got L'ified? or were they removed from TT altogether?

Well, I guess at one point the items would be "usable" if the quests could be completed and people could get to Greece, if I'm understanding everything correctly, but perhaps "non-usable" wasn't quite the term to use in this instance. Thanks for clarifying what you posted, it gave better understanding. I can see where the opportunity comes in, and it's a shame that some are capitalizing on it, and not in a good way if people can't get to Greece.

I suppose there will always be those who take advantage of others, and an RCE virtual game seems to be rich in opportunities.

 

You can go to ancient greece without completing the bugged mission, you will just need 3 time travel crystals. Ensure that you are going to the currently correct TP, Orpheus Cave, from there you should be able to dropdown at the top and select a ancient greece destination. You will even still get the chiton etc.

 

Not true, while the mission says to craft a monria item, you can in fact craft any item. Same with the mission to find a BP, you can just successfully craft any item and it completes.
The monria crafting and daily crafting missions are actually easier than the mission text implies due to this fact.

 

You have to go to Orpheus Cave on next island, that is the only TP that will take you to Orpheus Cave in Greece. Any other TP on NI is old info.

 

I should go back to AG... and RT.... and Ark oh and go to Cyrene and Toulan before they die too
