*During the plot and through the crash of [[Faerieland]], the [[Healing Springs]] had some "residual magic" to be used at the user's own risk. Before the release of ''Into the Fray'', if the user tried to "Heal my Pets", they were told there was no-one there to heal them; during and after ''Into the Fray'', it generated one of the Water Faerie's item events - either a low level snowball or a healing potion.

** Even after the Water Faerie returned, the [[Healing Springs]] still failed to grant anything other than items (as of 2 January 2011).
*The shops both at the [[Healing Springs]] and the [[Hidden Tower]] remained open without their owners present, presumably relying on an honesty-box system, even after Faerieland crashed.  Oddly enough, the Maractite Paint Brush was released at the Hidden Tower on the same day that Faerieland crashed.
*Beginning around 10 November, the height recorded on Faerieland's main page dropped from 10,000 feet to 9,000 feet in line with the events of the plot. It had dropped another 1,000 feet by the 15 November, and another by 18 November. It was down to only 3,000 by the 23 November - Oblivion's release date. Later on that day, it was only down to 2,000 feet, and by the 24th it was at 1,000.
*By the end of 24 November, the description on Faerieland's main page was gone, replaced by a link to the picture of Faerieland becoming destroyed.  At the end of the plot, the map was remade into a scene where nearly all the activities and damaged infrastructure were being rebuilt in a lush landscape on the ground, and most activities were accessible again with new art. (An exception was the [[Faerie Quest]]s, which remained closed during rebuilding.)  Faerieland was never rendered inaccessible at any point of the plot.
*The [[Soup Kitchen]] was still usable during the plot, as the [[Soup Faerie]] had made an extra large cauldron of soup.
