Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) So its been 2 days now... There any news? Is the Dev team even working on the issues? How long can we expect this ban to last? The whole wurm PvP community is paying for PvP and we arent being provided the service we're paying for... will premium reimbursement happen if this situation continues?

Posted July 15, 2015 I'm sure they'll fix the bugs with minedoors quicker than they fixed the bugs with mine entrances overall. OH wait, that was never done and it's been ingame for like 6years now... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2015 I guess when Rolf shuts down he shuts down completely and walks away from the game for the entire vacation time, lolHim and the rest of the paid team. This is something that has been going on year after year, multiple times a year. During the entire summer and almost the whole month of January, Wurm is kept running by the volunteer staff. Also, all of the "Red days", or whatever they're called.As an American, kinda jelly that I'm not a Euro that gets to spend 1/4 of his life on vacation/holiday. I live in a similar climate to Sweden too.... I deserve 3 months off from work because there's finally no snow on the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 15, 2015 Please note that the Wurm dev team's vacation habits are in no way representative for the rest of Rolfland, according to this it's a pretty good deal but in no way as good as they make it look. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So my jelly is warranted. Europe really is a completely different world to us 'muricans. I live in a state that has "at-will employment" laws on their side, which means they can terminate my employment for any reason, or no reason at all. I work Christmas. I work New Years. I work every major holiday. I get my 2 days off a week, and if a "holiday" happens to fall within it, then I get to celebrate. I can't call out... well I can, I can site religious holidays as a reason - but then I am liable to lose my employment. And legally, they can do so, as long as they don't specify that they are doing so because of my religious background/beliefs.I only brought up Sweden specifically because Rolf and team loves to use the climate there as the reason or excuse for taking mega-long summer vacations.

Posted July 15, 2015 I live in Estonia, near Sweden, its rather common to use the whole 4 weeks of vacation you get per year (by law) in the summertime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 15, 2015 The joke here is that they take time off way more often than the standard vacation time of their country and blame it on "summer" or "holiday" or whatever every time. They have the right to do whatever they want since Rolf owns the company, but that also means that they have the choice of not taking a vacation right after they have announced this to be "the summer of bug slaying". Just saying - They could've announced the "fall of bug slaying" where they were actually at the office, but they chose to do it at a time where they were all on one of their many vacation leaves. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 15, 2015 The United States definitely has the crap end of the deal when it comes to vacation periods. In my job if I want vacation time I have to work extra hours to save up for time off at the rate of 1:1, extra hour worked to hour off. Also we have no paid holidays. If you want to be paid for the holiday then you must come into work on that holiday when no one else is working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
