History

On the most southeastern part of the island, a rock bears the inscription, "This island were fashioned by Artemis."

Barbary Island is most likely named after the Barbary pirates who operated from the coasts of North Africa throughout the middle ages.

In April 2009, Illium Eternae hosted an ocean-wide contest to Design the Barbary docks. The winner of the competition was won by Phillite. The prize was Cryo Island.

In late July 2009, Fixation initiated plans to improve the Barbary economy through a series of events, incentives and forum response feedback.
