RARE FIND while playing!!!! DEVS, Did you do this?

A buddy got a dedicated server to start a brand new random seed for the new Mistlands Update. For the most part, it's only been a few people playing, with him and me with the most time invested.

Yesterday, he Steam messages me while inside Valheim and says..... "Someone found plains before us?" Of course I jump on to see what he's talking about and this is what I find.

Inside this walled off area, we found a player grave, which was holding late game weapons and armor. 2 active portals and a cartography table which leads to a mapped out area with lots of tar.

What makes this really special, atleast for me an Kuma, who owns the server owner; is that we must of been sailing for many hours, searching for a viable plains area to harvest tar. When outta the blue we found this.

I've got over 700 game hours of Valheim. NEVER have I ever seen anything like this. Has anyone else run into anything like this?

Everything the devs build is for looks more than functionality. They don't fully wall anything. Their POIs look thematic but are always too small to be worth anything on the inside. It's really not their style.

If a dev made that, all in seriousness, it would look a LOT better than that. A player made that, 100%.

nice try? I'm don't care if you all think I'm hoaxing. I didn't do this. I got better things to do than ask for attention on steam. I'm asking if anyone else has seen this. The guy that owns the server said it was a fresh seed. I would like to believe that he's telling me the truth.

We just got to that island. I DID the sailing. The island or anything near it wasn't registered with our cartography table at our base, and we both use it. Once we use the cartography table where we found the grave. all these poi pop up right next to mistlands. see map

I won't lie... I want to believe. But in all reality if this was staged. I would like to know how, when, who, and why they did it.

You know he could have just gone there with a second character right?, you'd never know it, he's just messing with you. Seriously, why would we be lying to you, there is no structural generation which looks like this kind of amateur hour, he did this.

A player built this, not the developers.

He can spawn all mats on a local world and transfer it between worlds.

Or the cartography table which reveals a completely new, grayed out island with map pips and other points of interest inside of MISTLANDS/PLAINS.

I've been on this server since the beginning and I'm the only player who actually marks out poi on the map. Using the found cartography table updates new locations and poi WITHIN MISTLANDS!!!

This is probably the 300th post here or on Reddit of players being punked by their friends or the server owner. Too funny.
