Beginning my own tale of the server, I have all the luck of spawning in the middle of a Notch-forsaken desert, or the Iron Desert as I later found out to be named. I darted towards the nearest body of water I could find, being a natural-born pirate and all, and swam through it until I reached mountains. Climbing the mountains, they led me back to the desert, but also to a Turkish farm (no really; it says that it was owned by the Ottomans), and a great opportunity to practice my pirating skills as I took my fill of wheat (replanted, of course, I'm not an
evil pirate).
Deciding that Istanbul was not constant or noble enough, I then followed the hills until I reached some seaside town that I couldn't get the name of. Nice place, but it was basically a ghost town when I reached it, so I pressed on. After swimming a bit, that being a few hours, I reached a distant island, and a road. The road lead to Liberty, but I couldn't make heads or tails of it, and got stranded in a forest, and eventually fell down a mine shaft. It was here that, after mining six iron ingots and some coal, I crawled out of the shaft, into the middle of a forest, and set up base in a tree.
Not much, but not too shabby for having went through what is in essence a very non-solo friendly server alone for two days straight without dying. I'll also be ready by the time you bay people actually find me (if you wish to set out a search party), with an iron blade at hand to fend off those of ill will. I'll proably try searching for the mountain home once I build up enough food to go exploring again. Maybe collect wood too. Lots of wood.
So, if you ever needed a
deposed noble/former mayor/grandmaster mason/architect/mechanic/siege engineer/wood cutter/swordsman/ship captain/explorer/magician/con artist/negotiator/magic girl tamer/pirate extraordinaire,
Namkob (that's me) is currently in the forest near the entry road to Freedon. Second eye not included.
Oh, and by edge of the road, which edge do you mean again?
