The grammatically correct version:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small island, which is called the Land of Wonders, has existed for ten-thousand years. Everything on the island was green, quiet, and peaceful. One-thousand years ago, a group of archaeologists discovered the Land of Wonders, and spread the sensation of the island around the world. This was a sign for the Chaos Guild...
A few years after the discovery of the Land of Wonders, it was invaded by Naga, bandits, Undead, demons, and other villians. The green world suffered drastic evils...
One-hundred years ago, new inhabitants arrived in the Land of Wonders; they called themselves the Farmers. They took a small, grass-laden edge of the island, and established a small town. This is where the story beings...

"has existed for ten-thousand years" > it still exists
Anyways that's not what I've needed, I need extended story

Yes but it has existed,up until now it has. So that would be a correct.
I'll give you an somewhat reformed and extended version tomorrow or during the night, I can't do it right now.

I can make one, too. How long do you want it? This is for a map?
I'm gonna' get to work on it right NOW! :D

EDIT:
Once upon a time…

A small island, called The Land of Wonders, existed more than ten thousand years ago. Up to now, it still exists, lying there as a wondrous land, hence the name Land of Wonders. Everything was green, quiet, and peaceful. Thousand of years ago, a group of adventurous archeologists discovered this island, and spread this sensation all around the world. Word of this new, wonderful, and amazing island pervaded through the earth, attracting all from diverse places and cultures. Eventually, news reached the Chaos Guild... A couple of years later, the island was invaded by Nagas, bandits, Undead, demons, and others villainous creatures.

Since then, the once-green world suffered drastic evil and destruction. Then, hundred years ago, new inhabitants arrived to the dreamland, unaware of the doomed land that awaited them instead. They called themselves Farmers. They took a small, grassy edge near a part of the island that had been untainted by the spreading evil. They established a farm and slowly grew from simple travelers to settlers, and finally from settlers to villagers.

Now, come forward! Here is where you make your story as a Villager…

I must admit, it's a bit short... but quality, not quantity!

Cool, it turned all blue in Word Document, lol. Hope you like it! I don't really know about the map so it's kinda' hard to make a story up for others but, here it is! Btw, where can we see information about your map?

(I saw this in the Members' Project so I em special)

EDIT 2: I just realized how many !!!! I used... o_O

Watch your time tense and diction. And be sure you use real words.

Betterized version:

An isle, given the name the Land of Wonders, has been in existence for ten thousand years. Everything has been green, quiet, and peaceful. One thousand years ago, a band of archaeologists had discovered this island, and its sensation was spread around the world. This was an augury of the Chaos Guild; in the following years, the isle was invaded by Naga, bandits, undead beings, demons, and other libertines. This green land has since suffered terrible evil....
One hundred years ago, new inhabitants arrived at the isle, whom called themselves Farmers. They settled a small, grassy coast, and established a farm.
Here is where your journey as a Villager begins....

So is this for a map or something?

1.) I made one too YAY!

2.) Well, Knight did that too (make "correct" one) but he said he didn't want it or cared about it or something lol.

3.) It is for a map. It was originally in the Members Projects section but it was moved here.

^ Yeah it was in members projects
@Varine read first and third posts, I don't need your extravagant (happy fatmankev?) grammar.
@Varine after my posts lies kind of signature, and I mentioned that I need that for tLoW - the Land of Wonders.
@thewrongwinedude Your story really fits what I've needed, and this will be great cinematic with Farmers/Villagers as story tellers, ThankYou. >

[wap, so can't add sign]

Jesus Christ, it too my five minutes just to realize that by "extravagantic," you meant "extravagant." I was like... "What's this big fuckin' word he's trying to pass off as a real word? There's no way he knows a word that crazy." But alas, it was much simpler than I had imagined.

Anywho, what I really wanted to say is that Varine's grammar is not "extravagantic," as you so elegantly put it, but rather, it's proper english. Which, although it's a closely guarded secret amongst the best writers, is truly a key component to any story. But yeah, I think Knight's version was the best that I've read on here so far, so GJ Knight. +rep for trying to help, and getting shot down.

Then the villager grew massive fields of marijuana in this fertile landscape, he got high, and lived happily ever after.

I want someone with good speech to extend this story, make it attractive

I was under the assumption that people only say things like that when they need it.

Well, you shoulda just got it fixed. 'Cuz that motha' fucker's dun got broke.

And you shouldn't give people -rep because you're English isn't good enough for you to understand what you actually said. When you put something, something, or something, that doesn't mean that they all go together. It means that you need something OR something else (in YOUR case, you needed someone to extend the story OR to make it look attractive, of which you obviously needed help with the latter).

My -rep was reaction to yours -rep. You can't tell that you can't understood what I've doing. Couse Knight answered 1st, and you should have been reading enough to see that grammar is least important.
@ Ninva - And what do you suggest?

Well, by the looks if it, it seems as if he's suggesting you improve your grammar. Granted, he's being really vague by saying, "Maybe you should improve your grammar," I'm pretty sure that that's what he was getting at.

    that sucks i bet they are expensive
  • Varine Varine:
    Not really
  • Varine Varine:
    The entire hot end is like 20 dollars, I just can't get anymore until next week
  • Varine Varine:
    I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
  • Varine Varine:
    I tried to extract it but the thing is pretty stuck. Idk what else I can use this for
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll throw it into my scrap stuff box, I'm sure can be used for something
  • Varine Varine:
    I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits
  • Varine Varine:
    I see that, despite your insistence to the contrary, we are becoming a recipe website
  • Varine Varine:
    Which is unique I guess.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
