I don't know what it is... But I've noticed it since right after the merge of Arispotle and Windermeer... But the Karavan are said to have powers... so maybe they're just levitating... *shrug* Not sure really... Ask the devs..

I could have sworn ive always seen the karavan spawn point machines floating up and down (ie hovering)

Was the very first thing i noticed last october, when i came to fairhaven for the first time, from tryker newbiezone

Maybe they are ghosts of acinent homins.

as for Karavan not being in prime roots, they tell us not go in Pr so maybe the're setting an example. Since the karavan fallow Jena, who I belive is the Godess of the sun, the karavan might not go anywhere that the sun doesn't shine.

The hovering could just be there to give the karaven a more powerful or ouminous feeling.

Saw this and assumed it weas a glitch.

I do however have an ancient memory of a mad Karavan welcomer in the nooblands (Tryker) who ran around a lot and raised dust. Could be my faulty memory, or could be that Karavan hovering has only started since retail.

Interesting idea about the Karavan not touching Atys. It would explain why they like us Homin to extract minerals for them.

Until now i can not see that Karavan and Kami are like good and evil.

The Kamis are easy to understand, more or less. They are like nature spirits, trying to preseve the planet and its beiings.

The Karvan are more mysterious. Its a guess but i think they are spacetravelers. Might be they are on Atys for the planets resources. Or maybe they lost their homeplanet.

Their suits (seems they breath filtered air) and now their hovering make me think its maybe something about the Goo. Like: no touch ground, no breathing air, no infection...

Since there is no open war between Karavan and Kami i think that Kami is tolerating the Karavan up to a specific point. If Kamis are tolerating the Karavan it might be that the Kravan are in need like the Homins. It could even be that they are kind of refugee too. But unlike us Homin they need their technology to survive. So maybe they are the poorest of us all ?

We all know the prophecy about something to come from the stars. So maybe Kami and Karavan are good and the evil is on its way from the stars towards Atys ?

What do you think ?

The Karavan Tps in the PR don't have Karavan Guards. They're Tryker NPCs at the Tele stations, least in the Elusive Forest and Windy Gate stations. Dunno about the lower ones.

I remember reading somewhere in the old lore that the Karavan were allergic to the sap(the glowing green stuff in the roots) thus explaining the suits. And also if they are allergic to the sap that would explain why there aren't any karavan in the roots seeing as thats where the highest concetrations of the stuff seem to be.

What about the damage on their flying machines? Anybody notice how corroded they are in some areas and sparks are always flying like wires are shorting out. Something about Atys does not agree with the Karavan!

....As for you Kami-lovers, think about this:

What if there is a new planet 'discovered', with lvl 250-500 regions/mobs. Those that follow the Kami won't possess the technology to 'fly' to this planet, so you'll be stuck on Atys while we are exploring <insert other planet name here>.
The Kami have ways and means beyond any Homin's (or Karavans) understanding , if/when they feel Hominkind are ready/worthy of travel to another planet im sure they are quite capable of achieving this without any need for dirty technolgy. Oh and btw I hope for your sake you get a first class ticket on one of those Karavan ships and dont get carted off like cattle in one of those rusting hulks.

Those hulks look more like processing units to me , kinda strange they are located near towns/there are reports elsewhere on this forum of Homin populations dwindling/the Karavan are always eager to give Homins quests for blood "to test" -just coincidence ?

PS - Theres still the Core and Canopees to explore (once a path is found/opened up)
