*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. | *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.

*The [[Soup Kitchen]] was still usable during the plot, as the [[Soup Faerie]] had made an extra large cauldron of soup. | |||
*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. | *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.

At the end of the plot, the map was remade to show that 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. | ||

*After the release of the first chapter, a [[wikipedia:meme|meme]] began on the [[Neoboards]] as to the fate of a pie, which had also been petrified along with the faeries.

*The [[Wikipedia:English in the Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth English]] spelling of ''art'''e'''fact'' is used throughout the plot, although ''art'''i'''fact'' is used elsewhere on the [[Neopets]] site. | |||
*Some faeries were not shown as petrified during the plot, including [[Siyana]] of Altador or [[Bree]] the Keyquest Faerie, although this was most likely a [[wikipedia:Goof|mistake]] rather than a clue. | *Some faeries were not shown as petrified during the plot, including [[Siyana]] of Altador or [[Bree]] the Keyquest Faerie, although this was most likely a [[wikipedia:Goof|mistake]] rather than a clue. | ||
*The Ogrin Master is never named at any point during the plot. | |||
*No statue is shown to have fallen over after being petrified - even ones in the middle of movement (walking, dancing, battling, etc.), even though it would be very unlikely that they would have been balanced enough to stay on their feet at the moment they were frozen. | |||
