The Upperdark of BGTSCC

Unread post by Steve »

According to the BGTSCC Wiki, the Upperdark areas IG are:
Upper Dark Areas

CR Area

6 Gauth Grottoes

10 Titanfist Mines

15 Kro's Labyrinth

18 Kro's Descent
This...is not all the Upperdark areas, if I'm not mistaken. But I guess the Wiki just list Areas with mobs (for the OOC CR knowledge).

Thus, what I have found from searching through Server Files are these Areas named as Upperdark Areas:
Blackrock
Gauth Grottoes (+ NW Grottoes + South Grottoes + West Grottoes)
Kros Descent
Kros Labyrinth
Lightouch Garden (Rockrun)
Rockrun
Titanfist Mines
There are 20 maps with Upperdark in the name, plus 5 DM maps with Upperdark in the name. Is that the grand total ye reckin?

I also found listed on the Forgotten Realms wiki that Oghrann Ruins is also part of the Upperdark, like most Dwarven cities. Is this just poorly documented/understood on BGTSCC?

I also wanted to know players/Staff opinions on whether or not the Upperdark can/should be a place that new PCs could spawn to? Or, if there could be a not-so-new spawning option, that could be chosen right out the Nexus without setting a Home Location. If not...is there even one single Home Location spot in the existing Upperdark areas?

Is the Upperdark about as quiet as this thread about the Upperdark?!?

New UD PCs can spawn in Rockrun can they not? At least, deep gnomes can spawn there not certain on other races?

Unless something changed with the current rockrun event all UD toons can indeed spawn in rockrun.

Ah, yes, Rockrun. Good call. If it’s a spawn spot classified as Upperdark, great.

It would also be better if a) it wasn’t such a race-specific location (I guess the future will tell, as well…); b) there were more options.
