(Event) The Salem Incident

"The Salem Incident" is an event where an admin of the game went berserk and caused irreparable damage to The World.

Salem, in his final hours as admin, all but destroyed Mac Anu and Dun Lorieg, as well as making random tiles all over the place in a few of the Lost Grounds.

He also placed chests all over these maps, containing 'Twilight', the admin-only item that could kill anyone in one-hit. It was because of this that Twilight was spread throughout the players, and thus, Salem lead vicariously to the deletions of players like Mouse, Terror_of_Death, Ryxga, Hiroto, Tetsuya, among other players.

His rampage went on for nearly an hour as players scrambled to reach the Twilight chests, and those that did would inevitably end up cloning the deadly item.

Salem then logged out of The World, deleted his admin account on the forums, and posted his resignation on his previous forum name (Maahes).

The damage he caused was irreparable, and to restore The World's order, Joe Stacko was forced to do a system restore of The World, setting it back to May 21, 2007. Thus, any fields that were made within the time between May 22, 2007 to the date of the Salem Incident were deleted.

EyeofCalamity did, however, recreate some of the fields. Those that have not returned include, MoonTree's @home, the icey Omega dungeon, and the arena.
