Which server?

Land or sea?

Is it just the edge of the world? (Personally I think the edge of the server map should be a cliff you can fall off of).

There appear to be invisible wall boundaries around the map at the moment, similar to plymouth when it started. It's very likely that the maps will be expanded over the coming days and you'll be able to reach and explore the darkness.

It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.

Roanoke Game Wall?

Postby Amir885 » Tue Nov 06, 2012 7:58 pm

Well I don't know if it's because Roanoke is a new server or anything but I went far north and there happens to be a game wall I can't pass.

*ALSO* ARE THERE ANY DAMN CONIFEROUS FORESTS?!?! haven't seen one...

Its like this whenever they open a new server. The world will be expanded soon.

There will always be a wall in each direction as the game world can't be infinite. If you wish to find darkness, just head west along the wall. You'll eventually run into it.

At some point in the future, the maps should be expanded out so there's darkness in all directions, but we (the mods, general public) have not been given that information.

The northern invisible wall in Jamestown is still there :)
I have a question about it!
If I would settle right at this invisible wall and they take it down and replace it with the darkness, will this wall be the beginning (or entrance or whatever might be the right word for it) of the darkness or will the darkness start somewhat below/above that wall?
I'd like to know this because I think I wouldn't be too happy to log in one day and find myself right in the darkness without being prepared for it.

I would not expect darkness to pounce on you -- if they remove the invisible wall, I would expect the stuff visible through it to still be there. However, we have been told that the boundary of the darkness may shift a bit as people settle or leave an area near it, so it might sort of creep up on someone near to it.

Back in Haven the invisible walls moved out when new grids were added. However, part of them is already generated, and it's what you're seeing beyond the wall. During World 3 of Haven we prospected some mines beyond the wall, and built a small camp near the edge to wait until it moved out.

The map generation so far as I've seen seems to be pretty much the same, aside from lakes and rivers now being able to pass between grids, so I'd expect it to work the same way.
