You could wander around in the confusing Phantom Forest, where danger lurked in and around every corner. Or you could take a trip to the Krakian Jungle and hunt some Electrophants, hoping to find a Diferium Fuel Cell to take to T-1337 to make some 10-second 700 m.atk. potions. Or go kill some Gryphons to add another Jungle Lily to your collection so you could eventually have enough to upgrade that Taru weapon you've had sitting in your inventory for months. Then you can head over to the Crimsonwood Keep, traversing the dangerous Ascent and avoiding the deadly Menhirs, to go slay the Versalian Windraiders, Stormbreakers, Firebrands, and Nightshadows, obtaining their badges to exchange to the raven ninjas for valuables. As you continue your climb you encounter the Crimson Trees, stained with the blood of the long arduous battle long ago. Their wood is valuable, used as material to create powerful weapons, courtesy of the expertise of the Raven Ninja, Fiona. Ascending further, you encounter the Typhons, whose feathers are also ingredients that Fiona needs.
Honestly, there's a lot to list about the former glory of Masteria.
[MENTION=10355]Girasol[/MENTION], if you're truly interested in this, and if you truly do have influence on what's going to happen, make sure it's done right. Make sure that all of what has already been done is restored to its pre-destruction status, and that everything that was originally planned gets finished. I am sure you will find that the Southperry community will be more than happy to assist you in dredging up the dusty old archives of all that. It's a shining example of the brilliance that made this game special, and I know this community is filled with those who are overjoyed at the possibility of this greatness breathing a new life into this game.
The Alien invasion update's impact on Masteria can be likened to a cherished park being trashed and destroyed, with a lemonade stand being put up in its place. The lemonade stand is really small and could have just been put across the street. Also the lemonade is very watery, and not even made from lemons. And you can't actually purchase a glass of lemonade, you have to purchase a one-dollar ticket to spin a wheel that may give you a glass of lemonade or something else. Oftentimes these glasses of lemonade will actually be unwaxed paper cups that contain sewer water, but that's okay! You can combine these paper cups for free to get a chance at getting a paper cup filled with river water. You can combine those river-water cups for a chance to get a cup filled with purified water, but in order to combined purified-water cups, you need to buy a one-use fusion ticket for fifty cents. Maybe if you're lucky you'll actually get a glass of lemonade.
Now do you see why we miss the old days?
[MENTION=10355]Girasol[/MENTION], Masteria is completely responsible for me not quitting this game YEARS ago. I had so much fun with friends there. My first major accomplishment was there.
