I think play wise the realm smp could be helped by

A. Not having mandatory factions and

B. Most helpful would be making it so players can only progress in one category. This would give uniqueness to a players lives so if they were to die it would be exciting to try a new specialization and it would create need amongst the players to utilize others skills and form groups or shops based upon these skills. It would also eliminate the need to punish players that put in a lot of effort and still giving weight to not as active members because there skills even if not highly leveled would still be valuable.

(im sure they already have plans, just my two cents on what might be fun. Tired (not serious) of active players being punished for effort and less active players feeling like things are hopeless)

Millipede under UV light. Many species of arthropods fluoresce, or glow, under ultraviolet light due to due to fluorescent compounds in their exoskeletons. At least one millipede genus, motyxia, is actually bioluminescent, meaning it can produce light on its own.

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.
