Area History and Comments:

Entered game: Feb 4 2003
Old location: A little northeast from Bat City.

There is an eternal typo here telling newbies incorrect info and that they should go to Bat City for the newbie warehouse. It resists all attempts at reporting.

Some new players manage to miss every bit of the info here. Or rather, manage to skip exploring and reading about things. As a result, a newer tutorial has been in the works. Some old players are depressed that an area designed to spoon feed information still isn’t easy enough.
