If you are not having fun then yes Wurm Online is probably not a game for you. If you violate the rules, you can expect to be penalized or fully removed. You admit your crime and you accept your punishment, so what happens next is totally up to you. Start a new avatar and play by the rules, or look for a game that is more your style. We do not force anybody to play, but for everyone who does it is a common and expected social courtesy to abide by the established rules that governs this community. That goes for everyone, our regular members and our team members. No one is allowed to play the game outside of the rule set. Now if you are accusing a member of the team of cheating you better bring your accusations privately to me. Public accusations are unfounded and grounds for removal. As for the question of why we don't remove forum access for players in ftoz's situation, it is simply because many opt to play new avatars and remain. They violate the forum rules or do something really heinous then we reserve the right to remove their forum access as well.

not sure what the permission levels are at them oment, but you must be visible when leading.

That is correct, It is bannable to intentionally spread Libila on Freedom. We will assist you in removing this.

Greetings! I have reason to believe this is in response to a recent Directive I was forced to enact. Let me clarify a few points so that people can see just how UN-rediculous what I did happens to be. There are the mechanical rules that govern the game quite well in most aspects of Wurm Online. We want this to be as open as possible with the community highly and directly involved in the evolution of the Wurm world. Unfortunately, there is also the Play Nice or we will rip your heart out rule. Why? I am glad you asked even if you didn't. Sometimes there will be people who will abuse the letter of the rules to go against the intent of the rules for the sole purpose of driving other members away or inflict some some form of activity on PVE servers that should not be tolerated outside of PVP. That is the simplest explanation. In this case the parties involved live well apart and have no reason to be antagonizing each other in any way. So when one party went directly to the other party's deed and began wiping out the resources for little to no purpose it was rather obvious that this was nothing but antagonism that was going to spiral even further out of control. (When I say deed, yes it was in their perimeter, but obviously done with intent to harm others game play.) The directive given to the parties is that they should stay out of local range of each others existing deeds. And before you start blaming me for it including the associates of the affected players, it was one particular person's wish in this mess to make it that way. I deemed it fair enough since it was the aggressor in this instance that requested it, so look to him first. Don't go all paranoid on being banned just because you had to cross into their local for a moment to get to somewhere. Just avoid building, mining, loitering, etc in their locals. This should be easy enough given the distances involved. There is no reason to create these personal wars on Freedom. Go to Chaos or Epic if you are that kind of person. Have fun for crying out loud!

This interview is in fact genuine. Just in case anyone had any doubts about me having any sanity left, I hope this settles it.

This issue will require Developer help as we have no ability to correct these meditation issues in game. Your information is helpful.

I have spoken to several parties in regards to this sordid ordeal. We recognize that this became an in game "witch hunt" by players on players on a freedom server. I have been asked to state that Vox is not the person that they thought he was. All I can officially and legally declare is that none of our official information connects Vox to the undesirable individual that started this nightmare. With that I have asked that they step back and accept that we cannot tolerate these witch hunts under these circumstances. At this time one side has made a remediation on their own accord towards Vox and that is fine by us. Wurm Online is a very open community and problems will rise between people. We will continue to work to meet the challenges that this social environment brings. Thank you, Enki (Head Game Master)

There have been requests for responses from the Mod team on this situation. I am not ready to deliver any judgement or official responses yet. However, after a short discussion with several of the involved we are looking into certain avenues of action that may need to be taken by our team to end this situation. Until then, be safe and have fun.

Full PvP Ban - 07/13/2015 ENDED - 07/15/2015 The PVP ban is in relation to the on-deed mine doors allowing enemies through when they should not allow enemies through. This has caused severe damage to a few villages and the issue has spread beyond being an exploit known by a specific group into a full PVP wide bug. There are people constantly trying to poke holes into the directive of the PvP ban. This is a full ban Players should remove themselves from the local of their enemy villages Contested areas in the local of enemy villages should be left alone. Players should remain in their own kingdom influence. Scouts should remain logged off or leave enemy village local areas. The HoTA is reset to postpone it. A public list of PvP/Raid directives can be found here. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/137025-pvpraid-ban-directives/ Thank You, Wurm Online Team

We are doing our best to identify what is happening as to point the Devs directly at the problem for a fast resolution. Unfortunately, the prevalence of this issue has spread and after consulting with the team, a full pvp ban will be put into effect.

I have read a number of the chats in direct relation to these complaints. There is some meat to the problem of staff powers preventing a few normal social interaction mechanisms granted by the game. We have sorted this out in a manner that should negate the current problems, but no player should receive any unwanted PM's from a staff member unless it is for official moderation business. Oh and by the way... I will not refuse a team member their privilege to engage in normal antagonistic banter on PVP! We are all just players and it is important that we get to enjoy the game in the same manner as everyone.

You are welcome, We learn a bit more about these multistory constructs each time someone tries something different.

You should not be able to plant forms from other servers at this time. (I could be wrong)

We will check this out with Rolf tonight.

Multiboxing is not permitted. http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/123123-wurm-rules/

Trading Scams Avoid accepting any containers via mail on C.O.D. or make sure to deal only with long term merchants with a history of good community feedback. Once in a while we encounter someone who thinks they are being "clever" by scamming others. Unfortunately, no amount of moderation will ever fully protect people from social or financial interactions on the internet. The best protection against scam artists is yourself and your knowledge. To this end we want all of you to be aware of who you are dealing with and be extra cautious when entering into any arrangements especially when using the in-game mail system. Always be skeptical of new forum accounts less than a month old with very low posting history or new in-game names you and your friends have not heard of or dealt with before. We do our best to watch for people who would intentionally harm our community, but the sad truth is that by the time we are called in on something suspicious, the damage is usually done, and we cannot help you get your losses back. Thank you, Wurm Online Team

All thanks go to Jberg. He is the one designing and building the start deeds properly. I only helped in a small bit of the construction.

The Flamma deed does look great. I will try and help Jberg expedite the rebuild on the others. We will consider the towers and its ramifications.

My appologies. My fault. You can connect now.

As of this date on Day of Sleep in week 1 of the starfall of Omens in the year of 1048 the following members of team Wurm Online have been tried and convicted of willfully conspiring to improve the Wurm Online support system and team to player interactions. Ladywoe (GM) GUILTY on all three counts. Pomona (GM) GUILTY on all three counts. Timur (GM) GUILTY on all three counts. Enki's court sentences these three conspirators to hard labor without possibility of parole in the maximum security rock pit and research center on the island of the Head Game Master's Psychiatric Sanitarium where they will be stripped of their Game Master responsibilities and branded with Asst. Head Game Master responsibilities. They will have my full support in their suffering and torment as they take over the management of all moderation and projects undertaken by the Moderation team and work towards finding cures for the pestilence and plagues that afflict us in these lands. By the power vested in me by the great Creator Rolf, this sentence is to be carried out immediately. Ladywoe (AHGM) Pomona (AHGM) Timur (AHGM) Enki's Court of the socially insane is adjourned. /Enki (Head Game Master)

Goodbye Silakka. I wish you and your mother the best. I thank you for all the help you have put into Wurm and helping us out.

Valo, you are correct that this is a known issue. I would assume that this is currently not the most critical issue the devs have been working on. We will be pushing it as a more urgent issue to the devs as it does have a game wide effect. I would strongly encourage you not to post any support tickets on the matter as you will only be wasting our time as there is nothing else to add to the dev ticket. As I said we will be pushing this as a more urgent issue potentially affecting anyone with animals, so please have a little more patience while the devs take care of this as soon as possible.

Wurm Online is an extremely deep game with a lot of opportunity and possibility. It is what you make of it. Wurm Online is clearly not for everyone. It is for people who love a challenge. It is for those who want to feel accomplishment in their cyberworld activities. I am sorry you are having such a difficult time starting out in Wurm Online Clwebb, You have only spent a few hours in Wurm outside of the tutorial system, so it is good that you at least find out now if you can enjoy what Wurm Online offers or not. I find lots of available locations on all servers for settlement, though it can be tough getting started as you will be playing with neighbors all the time. Sometimes people just need to think bigger, to realize the potential of a location. Even the terrain of Wurm Online is part of the challenge that makes it so enjoyable. There are people that would be willing to purchase your avatar from you if you feel you have wasted your money. Whatever your decision, good luck to you.

Extreme Disruptive Behavior Wurm Online has a very dynamic social environment that adds an extra layer of challenge beyond the mechanics of the game, and in very rare instances we encounter individuals that no matter what rules are in effect, and no matter what actions we take as Game Masters, their extreme disruptive behavior and or anti-social behavior comes to a point where that individual or even a group can quite literally ruin the Wurm Online experience for the vast majority of other members who are otherwise enjoying what Wurm Online has to offer. As a reminder, in these very rare instances where someone or some group are disrupting the game in a manner not in keeping with the intention of Wurm Online, we reserve the right to remove these individuals when it becomes apparent to us that no amount of rules or mediation will solve the problem/s being created by these individuals. You are responsible for being aware of the Wurm Online Game Agreement with Code Club AB. You are also responsible for being aware of the rules which can always be found in GM Hall. You are also responsible for the behavior committed on any avatars connected to you and you can lose those avatars permanently if someone uses them in a manner that we deem to be extremely disruptive and not intended. Thankfully, these instances have been very rare, as most of our members here in Wurm Online have been very enjoyable to work with and play along side. We look forward to all the good times that we have with you and we will continue to do our utmost to minimize extremely disruptive behavior. Thank You, Wurm Online Team
