I do happen to have a copy of Parintachin's atlas! You can find it here:

The world has changed quite a bit since that map was created though

I don't know. I noticed the UoP site was down some time ago and tried to find a working contact link on a few of the puddleby.info sites, but nothing worked. I also tried the email information in the domain record and that didn't work either.
Anyone have a working email?

For those of you who didn't have the distinct pleasure of experiencing what is Outcast, I suggest reading his rants. Courtesy of Clan Bored via archive.org:

If these are true (Which in itself is dubious) then Chum is making Clan Lord languish merely because he has some sadistic urge to force the CL players work through some meaningless crap to get to anything worthwhile, which he'll no doubt severely cripple. Chum is holding back Clan Lord. And where the hell is Joe? God only knows. He's probably off sitting in his Yurt wearing a grass skirt farming beets. Also, it seems clear that he's cut off his testicles to make himself a quiet wimpy impotent ruler of Clan Lord, who sits by while Chum runs rampant.

You have to think about DT's stance on game balance. This is their opinion: "It's jim dandy; the game is balanced; communism is built, now STFU and stop complaining."

With this is mind, how is it possible to think that DT would ever reward the players for completing a major quest by giving them something that would constistantly and significantly help them? It's inconceivable, we're never going to get any cool new items or trainers from these quests, becuase DT thinks doing so will unbalance the game. Any 'major' 'rewards' have to be innefective like the Strange Orga Stone, useless frippery like the Soul Sword, or at best incredibly rare and thus uninfluential.

In short, quality of life progress for the exiles is doomed becuase DT is dead set against it, convinced that it will make the game too easy if we get USEFUL items and trainers etc.

Instead, we can expect to see things, at best, like a teeth trainer: Something they took away from us a while ago and are now making us buy back at a ridiculous price.

So the only possible use for these plotlines is roleplaying fun or some kind of hooey like that. Sure it's fun, but why would my character be motivated to complete a boring repetative action (like OC raids or tree humping) when no such exploits in the past have ever born truly useful fruit? And honestly screw roleplaying in this case, why should I waste time for hours humping a tree when I know I'll get nothing except a crippled item from it in the best case scenario, it just doesn't make the stupid game very much fun.
