The Idea

The Millenium Impalong was a crafting and imping event that occured around the year 1000 on Freedom (September 1st - September 6th 2009). Featuring an expansive imping house with players of all trades, as well as an Inn, Vynora altar, dock and mine, it is a popular community site.

The general idea was to hold a festival of sorts during the Freedom Millenium, We'd come together from around the freedom isles and work together helping each other.

This in turn lead to a number of fun little projects to improve the site we'd chosen for the impalong.

During the impalong around 30-50 different people came by to work and/or have fun.

Post-Impalong

The idea is for the site to continue as a public site, community maintained.

The inn and workshop and the general site is free to be used by anyone, aslong as they keep it in a generally decent order.

Possible ideas for the future:

  • Connect the site with the roads all the way up from samling to allow it as a newbie pickup spot or make the site available to new players on freedom isles.
  • Use the site as a general trading hub
  • Use the site as a reststop for those sailing long distances, stop over for the night maybe take advantage of the iron veins or forges to imp some of your tools.

The Projects

  • Impalong Workshop - a 3x5 stone house, containing 70ql forges, oven and loom
  • Impalong Inn - a 3x4 stone house, containing 8 beds of free usage to workers and people alike at the impalong.
  • Altar Hill - a small hill adjecent to the workshop with a Vynora Altar, road spiraling up.
  • Impalong Mine - a public mine connected via ~50-60 tiles of cobblestone to the impalong workshop. details below.
  • Nothern Harbor - this water was the deepest and chosen as the harbor for ships larger than a sailboat. Dock is level, ~20 tiles long and with a 20 slopes into the water.
  • Southern Harbor - Water is quite shallow on this side, might be dredged out to land here (incomplete)
