Shattered Kingdoms

Constant hurricane winds in both Zhenshi and the northern part of the Empire have made the game all but unplayable for mid-level characters.

What in the world is going on?

1) A few people are having fun with control weather.
2) Some global thing that does not need to be explained in the forums.
3) To many butterflies.

Control weather, if it were the cause of this, should be able to fix it. It doesn't, and won't.

I'm pretty sure we just get random inclement weather patterns from time to time. It's happened in Ayamao and Taslamar before.

The bad weather is being caused by a maelstrom off the east coast of the northern wastes. Expect these fronts to keep pushing west throughout the week.

Muhaha chaos

Nah its from using a certain item in game. Who knew right?

I knew.

That's it. I'm fed up. I'm starting a petition.

Not sure if I qualify for mid-level status or not, but I actually kind of liked it. (It's gone now) I play a griffon who considers walking to be beneath him (sic) so being totally unable to fly made for some great rp opportunities.

Kept a couple of teammates waiting quite a while whilst I walked to their position ... turned up in a bad mood ... etc etc

It's all good...

It's not all good when you spend twenty minutes walking from one leveling area to the next because you can only move three leagues between ticks, and when you spend another fifteen minutes trying to figure out why your flying pet isn't correctly following you down the street.

It's a stupid item and should be removed; and weather conditions, like the economy, should eventually have to stabilize. As it stands, both are testaments to the brokenness of allowing a system to run unchecked.

I like it when it rains sideways.
