Some interesting things I've noticed about the Arena, but don't necessarily think it warrants mention in the article:

  • The arena is composed of Stone, as in the default stone template. Cooled magma produces rough Stone walls, as well.
    • Related to the above, destruction of Stone/dust kicked up by falling Stone in the Arena produces particles of random minerals and gems, which can collect on creatures and objects, but can't be picked up.
  • Magma/water-created walls on the highest z-level won't fall.
  • The Arena functions a lot like Adventure mode; you can observe the date, temperature, and weather/daylight conditions. It's even possible to Travel (although actual traveling is impossible) or view the Quest page, and the Arena appears under Sites in the latter. It is impossible to talk to other creatures, though, even ones on the same team.
  • I once saw it rain. I don't know how it happened, but I kept seeing specks of rain falling on the ground.
  • Almost anything seems to be capable of wearing armor - I accidentally spawned a whale without clearing the objects list, and, if I remember correctly, it was able to wear everything except leggings or weapons.

Has anyone else found anything interesting? Trorbes 05:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
