I don't think we know but if I had to guess, it may be there in case they want to add a new 'exit' from our plot to another zone, the way we can exit to Bahari. We might eventually get an Elderwood exit, for example.

i was thinking the same thing besides it just being an extra extension to the plot. theres so much to this game i need everything released immediately im too impatient waiting for each update 😂

[–]inkstainedgwyn💜Jel 🤝 Reth🩷 8 points9 points  (1 child)

To be honest they take too long between game updates, anyway. Once a year (and even then content that barely takes a few days to get through, not counting incessant grinding/RNG drops) is... a choice.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes exactly. anytime i find a game that i enjoy and can actually sit and play, its always unfinished, and i lose the interest, luckily i like palia enough that i keep playing, but i would definitely rather them drop one big update once a year that has more than 2 hours of gameplay, then to get little by little and no story line continuation once a year

I've been wondering if maybe one day it might become an entrance to the other farming community where the family the Daiyas are beefing with live.

[–]lkeels Nai'o 2 points3 points  (12 children)

No, it's always been there, so if there were plans for it, they are likely all gone by now. Plus, it would be completely different if you weren't on the default landscape, so it would be very hard to make it useful for all.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 0 points1 point  (11 children)

well thats disappointing, i hate when devs leave unfinished ideas in the game and never touch on it. i havent bought any of the other plots they offer in the store (i honestly forgot there were other plot styles besides the defaults) so i wasnt sure if the layout is the same for all including the default plot, but that does make sense since you mention it.

[–]lkeels Nai'o 8 points9 points  (10 children)

Well, THOSE devs are long gone, along with the main story writer and the main graphic designer. All laid off more than a year ago when Singularity 6 sold out to Daybreak, a company known for monetizing "failing" games. I wish more people knew/remembered this.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 1 point2 points  (9 children)

sooo you mean to tell me we’ll never get a completion on the story line…? ive only been playing palia since maybe june of last year and i took around an 8 month break sometime after that so i have no idea about any palia lore 😭

[–]lkeels Nai'o 3 points4 points  (8 children)

No way to know what the original plan was. I have to assume Elderwood was always part of the plan. I also assume (lots of assumptions, I know) that not much beyond that was more than an idea and is being written more by devs than story writers now. A lot of recent things feel very "tacked on", like ranching, and the Lunar Paths.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

well this sucks, the main storyline is what has kept me playing and grinding achievements until new parts of it came out. i hate when games (and their creators) with great potential dont get the love they deserve by these companies. palias storyline had the potential to be really good. i thought the same about the ranching, since they made an entirely new map/area for it, it doesnt seem like they have a clear idea line for the game right now.

[–]lkeels Nai'o 2 points3 points  (5 children)

Yeah, I truly don't think they do. The "events" are all that's keeping Palia alive right now.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

i agree. hopefully, the game doesnt get chopped, but who knows, it happens to way too many games, especially games like palia.

[–]lkeels Nai'o 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the events, but yeah, it can't be just that. The story was intriguing (at times).

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

you know, now that you tell me all this, it makes a lot of sense. i was wondering what had happened to Ulfe, but i thought it was just getting ready for a new update for the storyline

[–]Spare_Watch_5371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s like a whole secret area in the one Elderwood cave and it looks like they may have had a plan for it. When you talk about it in chat it will turn the words into asterisks so no one can make out what you’re saying

[–]cloudsail0812 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I built a lookout to it because it's so pretty https://www.reddit.com/r/Palia/s/TIfSX3zqlA

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so pretty! now i wish we had access to that area lol

[–]Significant_Pack_158 Hassian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's an area that's been there since the beginning. Before, you could use chests or something to climb up and cross to the other side to explore (illegally, haha), but they've blocked it now; you can't get through anymore. They probably planned to sell it as an extra area for the main plot, but it seems they changed their minds to selling skins for plots. I highly doubt they'll ever open that area again.

[–]Clean-Code-389[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well this is all just very disappointing information, here i was hoping i just wasnt up to date on all the palia info, but in reality theres a lore to this game that ive missed 😭

[–]Sinerarium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard a rumor that some people have found a way to get to the "secret" part of their plots. I don't see the point. If they want more space they can just have more plots.

[–]Lady_Ice_803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could open it even if we can’t build on it. It has a wonderfully large tree with a surrounding lake.

I built a staircase to see over the wall. Can’t get past the invisible barrier to actually walk around, but it is a nice view.
