Unhelpful

The usual suspects have had a lot to say about a so-called “secret island” in Asheron’s Call that lies in the Inner Sea, more frequently referred to it by its ancient Empyrean name, “that big lake between the direlands and the mainland”.

Relentlessly shaking down his readers for more information has yielded loads of information, almost all of it contradicted by other submissions. Roughly half the submissions were talking about other islands in other bodies of water. Luckily for Leonardo DiCaprio, the very first nutcase he met gave him the correct location of his island; Dr. Twister hasn’t been so fortunate - he obviously isn’t attracting the right brand of nutcase.

In order to clear the air, a helpful member of Sentinel cadre submitted this:

First, this Island is not unknown. It was open during beta, but closed when released to retail. Some sentinels used the Island (or used to before Twisty started all this) to hold people in a safe place that are having portal stuck issues. Basically there have been times when players get stuck in portals and won’t materialize. When we find people that are in this condition, we portal them to another area, and hope they materialize. In the extreme cases where someone doesn’t materialize after 4 or 5 tries, we would usually teleport them to this Island and for some reason they appear. We’ve been asked to now stop this practice since Twisty thinks it’s a great conspiracy, and have been told that MS will be looking more closely as to why people would be able to materialize on the Island, but not anywhere else. The long and short of it is, we used the Island to transport people that we were helping, only because no one else could interfere with our work. We of course would have found another “secluded” location after this Island was opened, but we are now giving up bringing players there to help them recover from this issue.

Summary: Dr. Twister’s getting excited about the AC equivalent of jail. How fitting.

Keanu and Leonardo, together at last! [dead link]
