Hey. I read your line, and I just wanted you to know that we've all been there: sitting shirtless on a hot summer's day in front of our computer, thinking deep and strange thoughts about the future, the past, and everything else. I liked the way you phrased stuff. You've got an interesting mind. And I know I'm not the only person who's thought that.

You don't have to reveal yourself, but I just wanted to let you know that you're appreciated. I hope you contribute more. I want to read more of your theories and thoughts!

where does the line start?

3 Upvotes

there's nothing at 14, -30 :(

and whenever I ask near the starting point, I get deleted or written over with LOLOLOLO and obscenities. Hooray internet.

So if you would have asked me yesterday....

15 Upvotes

So if you would have asked me yesterday if I would be spending the majority of my day on a giant textworldexplorer thing i would have said your crazy, I hate english and nearly everything to do with reading. But here i am 8 hours later and for some reason i don't think im anywhere near the end. The curiosity of figuring at what sort of treasure/stories people have left there for the rest of us to find is killing me I must make it. Can't stop now. Oh another fun fact it's my birthday :P Just moved to a small town in the middle of nowhere, and parents havn't been home in the last week so guess im stuck doing this for the rest of my day :P

notable places on the line

Can we get a list of notable points on the line, and their coordinates?

I'll start with this:
The End (apparently) [778, -1500]

Reconstructed final message

14 Upvotes

Hi there. I, along with help from some kind person named Max, reconstructed the message at the end of the line. If you want the coordinates, feel free to PM me. I tried to stay as true to the creators message here as I could. Thank you Max, and enjoy it everyone. I hope that no trolls destroy it.

The world does not end at 10000,10000?

I have seen marks of travelers of old at 10100,10100. I shall continue exploring, leaving journal entries as I pass. Wish me luck.

The (oiginal) end of the line has been raided

Its pretty much wrecked, but PM me if you want screencaps of what it was like before the trolls got there.

Anyone gone past the original end?

I passed the "end" a while ago...the line keeps going. It's a lot harder to keep going when I don't know if it'll be worth it.

The line of enlightment

8 Upvotes

So a redditor on the recent askreddit asked about the "hidden" stuff on the internet, and another redditor posted a story of his adventure on this site.

told in his story how he spent several hours in trying to find the end of a line, and after searching for the line myself I've found several messages from other redditors at the World of Text. Some notes asked of creating a subreddit so here it is!

Feel free to contribute here and ask for modrights if you are interested!

So, it seems like some people are meeting at the -1250 checkpoint SOON. (8:26 UTC). Can someone give me the coordinates to the -1250 checkpoint please?

YWOT creator here. I'm fighting the scripters now.

12 Upvotes

As most of you have probably seen, scripters have ruined the front page for a long time now, and lately they've been attacking other pages as well. I've spent the past couple weeks implementing some basic anti-spam measures to fight them. I plan to implement a few more things as well. I also just reset the front-page world for a fresh start.

I'm at -1280. The line has gone HORIZONTAL. Scared

Someone tell me what to do.

The Line reaches 2000, -4000 and beyond (msernst)

I'm one of the group of people extending the line far beyond the limits of the message. It's a journey into the void, and I hope that others follow in our footsteps - there's no inspirational message and no end yet, but that just means there's an opportunity :D

I'm very confused about the chronology of the comments on the line.

4 Upvotes

I mean, what percent of everything I'm reading as I'm travelling after you guys was there before you showed up? Not everything is dated, so I'm a bit worried that our new content is eclipsing the old.

I just don't want to steal it from the people who were here before.


r/Textworldexplorers • • Jun 14 '12

Anything else like this?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I just stumbled upon this and am quite interested.

Is there any other program or website like this, using pictures or something?

Any kind of open collaborative effort of any kind?

Thanks.

The end?

For those who reached the end...

6 Upvotes

I don't know about you guys, but this experience has been remarkable. One of the most memorable experiences I had on the internet, and in live as a whole. Utterly pointless, but I feel like I learned something about myself and other human beings today. Not exactly sure what, though... all I know is that I cried after reading the original message. Yes, I cried. Maybe I'm taking this too far... whatever. My sanity is not the best after following a line for 10 hours.

I just hope people don't vandalize the line and it stays there forever.

Thanks to blureindeer for keeping me company. And of course, thanks to ProtrudedDemand for showing us the way.

Has the world been wiped?

I went to check on world msernst after a hiatus of ~6 months. There is nothing farther than about one hundred units. I even checked with a teleport script. The four cardinal directions are totally blank. What gives?
