The Vindication of Jimjam Swimswam

The Nov. 7 patch removed the Barren Flounder from Erud's Crossing and replaced it with Timorous Tuna.

Timorous Tuna in Erud's Crossing

Apologies if there's a thread already started for this, but I haven't noticed any specific ones since the patch for things like this...

Anyway, I've been hanging out in Erud's Crossing a lot the last week helping a friend with the plague shark for her Ro Vambraces, and have done some fishing there both to get scales and to pass time. Besides catching a lot more junk than I used to (sandals and daggers), I have caught two kinds of fish there...Fresh Fish and Timorous Tuna. I have not gotten any Barren Flounder, the fish that is listed on the zone-specific fishing page for this zone. These are results of a few different fishing sessions, representing maybe 2-3 stacks worth of bait.

Re: Timorous Tuna in Erud's Crossing

Just thought I would add I also caught Timorous Tuna in Eurd's Crossing last night (10 Dec. 01).

I don't know if others have gotten this too, but I've gotten Timorous Tuna from Wisp Isle in Erud's Crossing.

Re: To find the Barren Flounder

I pinged Yakatizma about this last week along with several other things.

I'll meander back onto Test in the next couple of days to see if the waters have been restocked yet. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Re: To find the Barren Flounder

I fished about 3 stacks of bait in Erud's Crossing about an hour ago...0 barren flounder (but lots of Timorous Tuna).

FINALLY...ofiicial response about the Barren Flounder

Well, I finally got an email back from Verant on the status of the missing barren flounder:

---------------------------------------------------------

Greetings,

I am sorry you are having problems with the flounder. It does indeed
appear
the fish is no longer in it's native waters. We are looking into where
the
fish have gone and hope to have some answers once that investigation is
complete.

Reboot of Erud's Crossing and TD

Hmmm... that's odd ... saw a message this morning that these two zones were being rebooted across all servers. Weren't these the zones that had something to do with Barren Flounder.

Just a thought ....

Re: Fishies!!

Day of 14, july 2002, Barren flounder are being fished correctly in uncommon "loot", but they are still here
A number of brewed essences were released with the May 8, 2002 tradeskill patch. Erud's Essence called for the Barren Flounder which drew greater attention to its absence. The book containing the recipes for these essences was Reconstructing Mythology, Notes; text can be seen here. It can be removed from P99.
