The Strange Lands of Ormonos and Lida

Okay so I was checking out glitchium.com and I saw something strange. Apparently 0% of the Glitch population has the Ormonos and Lida Completist badges. Well of course not, those don't exist! Yet. I believe. I don't think that they made regions and got rid of them. That just doesn't make sense. BUT when I go to locations, I see quite a few other unfamiliar locations:

Brillah
Karnata
Massadoe
Vantalu

When I search the achievement rarity page for completist badges for these area, there is nothing to be found. I'm wondering if somebody can clear this up for me. I have a theory that, since I see badges for Ormonos and Lida, I imagine that they are regions soon to come. As for those other four, I just don't know. Are they new upcoming regions or scrapped regions or regions that are defunct or changed? I'm so very confused. Does anybody have any intel on this??

  • I'm assuming that Ormonos and Lida badges are exposed to the API, and are thus in the wings for unlocking first, but it is surely just a guess at this point. I just noticed that today too.

  • Ormonos and Lida have been in the API for a while, I think. I remember someone bringing them up before, or at least Lida. So I wouldn't say soon to come... more like "soon".

  • Sadly, they've been "soon to come" for about a year now.

  • Yet I'm hoping to someday see kevbob in Karnata.

  • I am glad to know there is substantial content that hasn't been released.  And especially glad to know there's content that won't be released soon.

  • Just look at the World Map and you will see many areas yet to come though they are unnamed on the Map.

  • I'm guessing they are "in the works" regions. If completing Feats will usually (probably not always?)  unlock a region, it would make sense to have a few queued up for when Feats become "regular". It is strange, though,  how those completist badges have been around for so long... maybe those regions are special and there're some programming issues or something causing the release to be delayed. Yay for wild speculation!

  • I figured the API was picking them up somehow. My first thought was that they're the new hubs that Lisa and gyoza posted snaps of:

    And yeah by soon to come I definitely mean "soon" to come XD

  • Ormonos appeared briefly in the Encyclopedia at the same time as Aranna and Callopee Completist badges, but since then it's been dormant. The other regions also appeared in the API at least 6 months ago, but nothing else is known about them.

  • Oh wow so Aranna and Callopee are relatively recent additions as well?

  • Aranna and Callopee are about a year old now; Ormonos was created around the same time, but not released yet.

  • Okay cool. I started last September and didn't start playing until June this year. So some things are still kinda lost to me. I hope that we someday soon ill see the lands of Ormonos. I'm halfway expecting a feat again in a couple weeks. We may find out then.
