you don’t have to read this unless you want to, this is essentially just an essay of appreciation for the dark sea that I decided to write just in-case I die and can’t anymore.
the dark sea is quite literally my comfort zone believe it or not, almost every midnight I would log on to arcane odyssey and prepare to set sail as long as I can into the dark sea. every-time I feel stressed IRL it’s pretty much the only location that I can think of that could calm me down since my IRL location isn’t really that much of a “walking” environment and more so just a messy clump of houses, people, stores and garbage (the nearest location that I’d consider a stress free or relaxing area is literally hundreds of kilometers away.).
I would always just feel overjoyed or excited whenever I see any kind of landmass spawn in-front of me especially the ones that spawn as deep as IN5, I would always immediately dock into them and just excitedly explore what whacky environment the autogeneration has prepared for me.
the ones that I usually find fun are the “supertowers” or those flat and low levelled plateaus, usually just to set my graphics to max and watch over the crazy environment that the dark sea is.
and then don’t get me started with the atlanteans. I love those things, everytime an atlantean ship spawns I always feel excited and try to slow my ship down as much as I can for the trill of them chasing me. the land ones however are kind of annoying, but I do still enjoy their company, too bad vetex made love pots and invis pots not work against them so I usually can’t hangout with them unless I managed to bug them out.
everytime I wanna feel like my trip has some use I always try to either collect chests (boring) or look for hecate. everytime I do I always have a 9/10 success rate in finding her~
…
I honestly think that sailing the dark sea is more peaceful than trying to walk outside, especially in daytime. my country is too… overpopulated (curse of being a south east asian fr). all I want in life is just a quiet area to explore and just chill, not some messy trash ridden slums with close to no privacy.
if you decidded to read this, thanks for your time I guess…lol, none of this info is useful anyway so I apologize for your time.
