i used to love mining ajaya; update.

i have said a lot of pointy things about mining as it came to be done in ajaya.

today i opened a random portal there and went on in, just because it was there.  to my surprise and delight, it was a lot like the old days just after the cooperative mining bonuses came into being, and before people got all uptight.

in short, it was old-style chaotic mine-how-you-like-and welcome-to-the-party.

yay.

  • good to hear...I got tired of the weirdness and haven't been back in a couple months.

  • I've been there a few times in the past couple days and have had a great time!  (I did run into a "Director" this morning though and called it a day there soon after.  I can see why people have issues with that...)

  • I popped my head into Ajaya, just to see what the fuss was about, and it was fun, though I don't think I'll head back any time soon. More running and jumping off the high platform than actual mining.

  • When you say 'uptight', what do you mean?

    I've never really mined in AB, but have been a relatively active miner in Neva Neva in the past couple of weeks, so I'm curious as to what AB was like.

  • To me, "Old" Ajaya, (back when we could just teleport in) was more about the banter and the camaraderie than the mining. Yes we were all there to mine and fill up our bags with sparkly but the chatter made it worth it. If you missed a rock, no big deal. There was one time where people worked out the pattern for spawning and we all cooperated together moving from location to location. It was a friendly, easygoing, and pretty low-pressure. I'd pop-in for 10 minutes to half an hour, fill up a bag or two and then leave. Some people would mine for an hour and fill up all of their bags. People would radiate or hand out food. It was a nice little community. Since you could come and go as you please, it tended not to get horribly over-crowded like it does now. It was a fun time.

  • What exactly is Ajaya? Or the the good old days? Is it a hidden street or something? Sorry i'm kind of new.

  • @Miniature Not quite a hidden street, just key-access-only.

  • The keys on auction for ayaja have fallen so low it's incredible. They're in the low hundreds. Before they used to be over 10K sometimes over 20K. Crazy economic times for Ur too I guess.

  • Oh ok cool thanks

  • Glad to hear it, flask. I think I saw you there, actually. :D

    It really seems less crowded than it was a month ago. I like it better the way it is now. We all share potions and things. Often there's a rainbow or charades game going on. Probably not such a good place for people who want to mine all the time though.

  • There seems to be a lot more sparkly rock around in Ilmenskie Deeps. Either it's less desirable now or the spawn rate has been increased. As for the keys to Ajaya Bliss, I ran through Nandak Intention and found one just sitting there, with no campers. First time this has happened to me for months. Perhaps it's because the Keycutter Tonic is now available?
