There still is a small population but even with that I have been finding fights fairly easy "so far" . Last night on a spur of the moment idea I did a Toll/Blockade of the West Brit Bridge, and PMd the staff if they could spawn Orcs since it was just me and they did, while I did not collect any "Shineez" I did manage to drop 5 Ummies there with shardee help before I was such a problem that a few players showed up with a dragon and 2 mares. It was still fun. I still have not figured out how to post screenshots or I would have done it. I do't know if this shard will get as big as some others at all but it does increas by a few players every few days so who knows. I have a Mak'r that is already GM in Alchemy,Blacksmith, Miner. Tailor, Tinker, Hiding, And still have a skill slot to use. I also have a lockpicker that found 2 Prisoner Camp locations so far and have been slowly stocking up on Magic weapons and armors should he shard grow and more Orcs arrive. I will go ahead and get Muguk started just in case Bloodclan does decide to make its presence felt there.
