Thanks in advance.
Additional questions:
1. Who is the decision maker on this issue? Happy to bug them directly via email.
2. I recall (I hope correctly) that the orc slayers are part of a future event. I assume (although I do not know) that once that event is complete, those orcs can be released to the general population.
Who is in charge of this future event? I am happy to bug them about getting that event going and resolved.
Thanks.

No doubt on that one Q. I suppose I am under the impression that that particular area (and creature) are tied to a very specific thing (the orc event?). The Viggu event has been on-going (which is awesome by the way) for a very long time (3 years or so now?).
The challenge (at least for me) is that:
1. I rather like Viggu hanging around for a long time. Love the orc stuff and it makes for a very cool, long-term conflict RP.
2. But, if that is what is holding up the release of that nice high level hunting area...I want that event to wind down so I can be in Theren.
Maybe there is something within the long-term event that can trigger that hunting area open? By the way, I absolutely get the request primarily benefits my personal character (a few others fit in the same category as well). I do not want to stop or hinder a long term RP event (that benefits a ton more people), but maybe we can have some "goal" within the long term event to key that place open?
Tossing out ideas I suppose.

Why can dillos invade Lang?
A: BECAUSE WE SAID THEY CAN!
Srsly, give me a cage and some rope or something and I'll go catch a few hundred of em. We can ship em to Theren, drop em in a canyon somewhere where they can't easily climb out, and Theren can send its exiles there instead of however many hundred miles away. If you don't want people just moseying back, put a gate there and only allow passage one way. Make people walk a long distance and cross a river or something to get back. Or officiate the 'banned list' notion via mechanical support and have the guards tell people on it to piss off. Opportunity meets convenience.
Cmon, we've got man-made rivers/lakes in this world, killer bees were genetically engineered by men, escaped from a facility and ended up spreading and multiplying like crazy throughout the world. All it requires is a little effort and a lot of crazy. Armadillos are just stupid mindless beasts that happen to occupy the very top end of the food chain in their respective habitat. There is probably 100+ hospitable places in Elanthia for them to live. Why can't a crazy NPC ala Mibgluc pay some adventurers to go catch a bunch so he can go do crazy stuff with em involving threats of violence and possibly world domination? Sounds like some great RP for Riss aka script island right there.
Food for thought.

or... make zombie dillo.
command zombie leave.
go moongate
command zombie come
a risen dillo comes into the area.
All you need is a skilled and cooperative Moonmage to cast that moongate. :-)
you guys could have some fun with that. :-)

Yeah... I have a horribly bad habit of automatically re-arranging letters/words or substituting letters within words here and there. It's kind of a safe guard so I don't accidentally say something I'll regret and have someone(Catleena I'm looking at you) tease me endlessly for it after the fact. It's kind of annoying now because it's always the first thing I think of :/

Hopefully after adding a leather repairer (or turning the forge on to fix both), since without it, it's basically un-huntable.

If you look at the Elanthean maps, there should be a connection somewhere or a route between Hib and Therengia.
Perhaps there could be some expansion to the west beyond where the rakash villiage is, that leads into hib, and then further west you could put some Lyras-style undead <not incorporeal> tiered stuff, and some huntable inquisitioner type tiered critters too!

I think when people say Theren they mean "Theren and surrounding areas." But this bodes the question why are there no plans to add higher level hunting areas to that area? We've had people asking for years for something there.

I suppose:
Pros:
1. HLC's are away from smaller characters.
2. It makes people move around when they get a certain fighting level.
Cons:
1. Spreading a smaller player base over a larger area doesn't really promote RP.
2. If you think pushing HLC's "away" from smaller character helps anything, see Exhibit A (the last 3 years of the game where all the HLCs are going to always end up where the "action" is regardless).
That being said...I'll take it. And there is some hope that the orc savage|slasher place might open up.

Actually several of us do hunt there regularly. The fact that there is no armor repair is one of the few reason Mordibar returns to Theren these days, well unless you count the whole duties as part of the militia thing. Now for those with boats, you might actually find the trip home from Kresh easier than from Muspar'i if you happen to miss the barge. Timing is everything and since you can't hear Theren on the gweths from here, gating really isn't a simple option unless you use a shard.
