Miscellaneous: Western Wastes

[Ennewi]

Similar to Runneye and Kael Drakkel, apparently WW had at least one bit of flavor text that would periodically fill the chat windows of players...

Hey, I happen to have one of these!

[Sun Nov 11 00:46:25 2001] You have entered Western Wastes.
[Sun Nov 11 00:46:25 2001] You have joined the group.
[Sun Nov 11 00:46:27 2001] A sentinel`s voice invades your thoughts: ''Beware mortal! This land is marked by Veeshan, and is sacred to her brood. None but Dragonkin are welcome here. Your life is forfeit if you proceed. Ignore this message at your peril!''

Aye, I think I noted this in a different thread. Still occurs on live when zoning in from SG.

I could have sworn the zone name was different on p99 too, such as saying "you've entered Western Wastelands"

Or maybe it said western wastelands on older log files

Section from Qien's logs:

The 'A sentinel`s voice' shout is not in any of my P99 logs, so don't believe it is functioning properly. It seems like he gets it after the first few seconds after zoning in, but did find another section where he got it twice in same zone (maybe there was a area that tripped the message?). Do what you will.

Oh, and notice it should say 'You have entered Western Wastes.'

On P99 we get:
Quote:
[Fri Sep 02 22:37:03 2016] You have entered Western Wastelands.

I should have google searched the site for the specific text in question and bumped that thread, rather than guessing what all of these different zonewide snippets of lore are referred to as and trying to doublecheck that way. IIRC there was a thread specifically for Runnyeye's revamp, when its messages were added.

Fixed, pending update
