Why does everyone only associate Wurm 1.0 with multi story? I doubt I will even build multi story, I am looking forward to new models and animation for players and creatures, visible armour and customizable avatars. Bring it on!

(Reuters) - There has been a terrorist attack in a small village in Sweden, no deaths have been reported. According to the gardener, Fjord Fjordbjorn, eleven men dressed in all black entered through the auxiliary air duct feeding the main climate control unit on the Janssons's smallest guest house near the edge of the estate. They entered and exited the building in total silence in in less than the time it took for him to finish his cigarette. Mr. Fjordbjorn is allowed to live in the land adjacent to the Janssons's estate and was out on his porch having a cigarette when the entire attack went down. This is the building which Mr. Jansson has given to his daughter to use as a playhouse. It also happens to contain the room that contains the closet in which Mr. Jansson stores his computer servers. Rolf, while not on vacation runs a small internet video game known as "Wurm Online". Although he has sophisticated computer hardware powering the main buildings in the Jansson complex, Rolf knows that vintage server hardware is in style right now. As you would imagine, Mr. Jansson has the resources available to put together the most vintage server of all. This proved too much temptation for the terrorists. The system employed by Jansson is a complex system of ropes and pulleys all being fed by a single hamster in a wheel. Over time he has been able to put together and train additional pulley/hamster systems to bring more servers online. The main target of the attack seems to have been the life support systems which Rolf uses in order to keep the 68 year old hamster that runs the "Independence" server wheel alive. We will not know until the official statements are made but initial reports indicate the hamster suffered 83 stab wounds, and was burned with fire. It remains in critical condition at the local county hospital. Luckily the family was at their new chateau in France and were not in any danger during the attack. At the time of this reporting it has been approximately 5 hours since the attack, and there is no word from any official on the status of the hamster. We will continue to update this as details emerge. Update 9:43pm est: We are recieving updates that Rolf has been informed and is currently debating getting out of bed or going back to sleep. Update 10:34pm est: Rolf has decided to go back to sleep. Update 1:42am est: Server down over 9 hours now. Supplies are dwindling. We had to eat Sophie.

Meh - I think I'll start on my taxes early, see if the septic tank needs some cleaning, or go volunteer at the homeless shelter for unstable drug addicted delinquents with sharp things in their pockets.

Need to have a Wurm forum season calendar plugin on the forums. It will show you the number of days, given the current date, till it's time for somebody to post a thread about: 1) deed perimeter control 2) enclosure rules 3) how horrible Wild has become (recently renamed Freedom Adventure Park) 4) whether and in what way Epic should be reset 5) downtime reimbursement 6) Wurm private servers (I believe this one's overdue). and many others I can never tell if it's time for one of those threads, there's a few I suspect are a bit overdue. With this it'd be possible to tell if a topic was out of season or not. People would be able to safely wander away from the forums for weeks or months and only return in time to see the migratory threads. Kind of like seeing the blue whales off the coast of Baja but with less splashing.

I'm sure it's been suggested before but I can't seem to find it back, so Ill just try it again. You should be allowed to put a container on a merchant with stuff inside it and sell it as a complete package. For example, you could put a leather armour set in a backpack, price the backpack, and then put the backpack on the merchant. Someone can buy the backpack, but not seperate pieces out of it. Why? - allows sale of liquids on merchants (dye, lye, wine) - you can couple a lock and key by putting them in a satchel together - selling full sets of armour without risking one piece being bought and the rest left as an incomplete set - selling sets of tools (like a leatherworking toolset) - allows the sale of bulk items on merchants (think of a small barrel with 100 corn, or similar)

I never steal.. I just find (someonelse's) old items a new (mine) home

It's not stealing if it's from your enemy. Tax collection!

Someone once stole a cart i stole. Bloody rude.

i steal from my village mates but they have no clue lol

I am the most corrupt sheriff on the force in both the Avarga Police Department and the Reliquary Police Department.

I do loan sharking, run a little pawn shop, and am really just a minor bank. And you know what they say about bankers, biggest thieves there are :3

never will understand why people freak the hell out when they can't go brush their horses or tend some garlic or something ridicoulous, go outside for a little bit

Dreaming skill : -skill is gained for each hour of sleep bonus gained, up to your cap level. max would be +5 hours at 90 skill past the defualt 5, w/e the math works out to. -you must be awake (logged in) for 5 hours before sleeping will give you skillgain again -you can have random dreams that may add a "affinity like" skill gain boost to a random skill for a few hours -the ql of the bed effects how good of sleep you get and the chance you might have a dream -having a higher skill and holding something to focus your dreams on may narrow down which bonus you get -a new enchant to enhance dream chances and skill gain this would give extra sleep bonus to loyal premium members, which i think is perfect and falls inline with what i might find on a wiki page about dreaming skill. it also makes it a little more important to get your house up and built for new players and more interesting. , i like having my sleep bonus topped up for the inconvenience ect this just means after i play and sleep for 6 months worth and my dreaming skill is at 30-40 w/e i could keep the few extra hours i purposefully gained by walking to my bed. i hink thats what some are complaining about that we got premium and a deed and built a house and WALKED all the way to bed for that sleep bonus, and some Shmo who was standing in the middle of FM also gets it, blastphemey i say! (seriously walking lowers my food and water! pretty sure..) Edit: this also makes it even cooler when your not playing, you wonder... are you dreaming? what kind of messages/dreams might i wake up to? (P.S. I want fancy red velvet kingsize beds for us wanna-be kings! also we need deed thrones 1 per deed, sitting in it grants you very small amounts of awesomeness, a new characteristic! go back to the top if you want serious..)

I don't agree I think min should be 21 carp and multi should be a prem only feature..... Probably won't work that way but to me it should take at least 20 to get 2 story.

My guess 30 base skill to build an additional floor and 20 carpentry/stonemasonry (by type) to build each additional floor; wich would make a maximum of 5 floors at 90 skill. Pictures have been posted of 4 stories or more done on test server.

Great read! Everything in your blog is what has kept me in wurm over the years. While i'm working on one of my long term goals, i am thinking up 5 more long term goals that i wish to get started with right away! This delays everything so i'm playing for longer and longer

yeah no, get out I'm not even going to try...

Hey all, I was going to make this a blog post but then I thought that might be a bit over the top so I will just add it as an addition to the next proper blog post. Basically as of right now our facebook group has 389 'likes' which is cool but it means that only 388 of you (besides myself) have a regular feed of the stuff I put up on there, and on Twitter 738. This is not enough! I'd love to blog everything on the dev blog (as that goes to the forum, twitter, facebook and the launcher) however that would get a bit spammy. What we do instead is we start discussions, ask little questions, put up teasers and some other cool stuff on twitter and facebook. It's a great way for you to be able to engage with us, ask us questions, and see some of what we are up to. Many of the individual team members are on Twitter too and they would love to hear from you! What I would love to see is more players following us on Twitter and Facebook! So, as a special reward... I will see to it that once we hit 1,000 facebook likes, a random player who has liked this forum post will recieve a mega-rare set of tools (in-game of course) made from silver. These are not craft-able by players, although they act just like normal tools. NOTE: The old competition was one of our facebook followers but it was pointed out that we can not do this, so instead the winner will be selected from someone who has liked this forum post, once we hit 1,000 facebook 'likes'. Remember: You will only win if the Facebook page is liked or our twitter account followed, so no sneaky business!

I've suggested this before but the thread seems to have been lost in the great reshuffle. It would be nice if the 'take' keybind, when applied to items in a BSB, takes max items exactly as it does when pulling from a pile. Dragging would still pop up the quantity option but 'take' would always pulls max.

So just a little suggestion. not sure if its been thought of yet.. im sure it has though. Why can you put things into a bsb straight from a cart, but not put things into a cart straight from the bsb? The whole putting 8 or 9 items into my inventory, then dragging them to the cart is doing my head in. Especially when i want to take a over a hundred items at once. Its a time waster. Be fair... why not do it both ways? That is all... thankyou

Hi All! A quick teaser of the improved lighting for caves Budda and myself are working away at. There is still plenty of room for improvement, but I think these images really highlight the important changes being done. Lots of thanks to Budda for putting up with me bugging him while he was at work to toss around ideas, and for getting all the code in while I slept Current cave is on top, new cave lights are on the bottom. All lamps in view are lit. Current: New! Current: New!

Hi, I have an amazing suggestion for all on the dev team and whoever else this involves. Instead of rolling out a new better looking wall, animal, crop etc... Make the game more reliable, PLEASE We pay for premium and we don't get to play for 10 hours, then we play for 45minutes (maximum) then the server crashes AGAIN (I'm on indy btw) Just starting to think 5 hours sleep bonus isn't going to be a good enough apology soon enough. We pay to play then don't get to play, sort it out. please

Think again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9yHl24QynOM

i just hope i can still play with my crappy computer

I can confirm that there will be customizable facial features / beards / hair styles

As long as I can build internal stairs that lead to nowhere, or a door out to a multi-story drop, I'll be happy. Beyond that.. watch for lighthouse towers at a harbor near you!

+1 to being able to see the stats then.

Fixed your story bud.

lol. I used to be a known thief like 1 year ago. Not anymore

I play on Chaos Different rule set, different expectations.

Only if you're the mayor... otherwise it's an inducement to not come back and raize the property...

i borrow a lot from friends, but its only ever borrowing. From enemies i used to clean out towns, so i guess there's that.

I can say with much pride that I have ne- oh wait. I think I stole a ql 54 chain jacket with 32AosP from a player called Riften once. But I was fairly certain he was macroing. He obviously didn't want his jacket or he wouldn't have ignored my PM.

Thanks for all the hints, guys - I am working on this! Also got a very helpful hint by ago about using the "Last-Modified" info in the HTML header. To test this, I made a little tool showing all the servers with their status information. If anyone is interested: I will share this little status tool as soon as it's finished.

I demand a roll back, a months free prem, 37 hours sleep bonus, a skill buff for the next week, a sandwich, Vynora to personally give me a foot massage and a pint. If these demands are not met I will make hundreds of forum accounts agreeing with inane suggestions rather then just my usual one.

Do us all a favor and get over yourself. Belthize's idea modified; could have it where villagers of the kingdom on Elevation can do some form of vote, perhaps at the sword, that gives an increasing % chance to pass the final test with each vote. Perhaps they have to be actually there at the time of the test to vote immediately before?

If I have five sleep bonus I saved up by using my nice warm bed and then everyone is given five sleep bonus why am I less deserving so that I get nothing???? If it is indeed a bonus shouldn't everyone get the bonus? Otherwise it isn't a bonus at all. When it's handed out raise the cap for those who have more than ZERO when it's handed out.

Hyped is an understatement. I'm even more excited for the bridges though, if they ever come.

if there was any voting it should be done only by people who are villagers on Elevation. Home server players should have no say.

Good thing the server was down! I probably wouldn't have stumbled upon these videos if not. Great job, guys!

In my own opinion I think that the majority and hopefully all of the promised elements will be available for 6/12/12. The devs are working flat out to finalise things - animations are the hardest to do but they're on track, there are already many animals such as the cow and huge spider that have the new animations that you can see in-game already. Multi-storey is probably the most definite feature that we'll see come out, Zcul and Rolf have done a brilliant job of doing some relatively difficult coding to get it to work, while Saroman has excelled on the art front. One major requirement of the new multi-storey was changed collisions, that's now done and already in-game. And also about bugs, a lot of bugs are being swept up ahead of v1. My hat goes off to saytheb who has done a lot of behind the scenes work at solving a lot of bugs, of which the fixes are currently being rolled out at a steady pace. Bug solving is not easy or fun, it's like trying to find a spelling mistake in an essay but without any form of spellchecker, however it's essential that it gets done to have a solid game. My number one tip at the moment is to set animation quality to extreme in the settings, otherwise they aren't done justice then go and look at some of the new aforementioned critters.

Because, (speaking only for myself here), I haven't seen much evidence that the rest of those features will actually ship on time. MSB seems less like vaporware, due to the preview pics and blog entries and what-not.

Im terrified of 1.0 and the amount of horrible bugs it will introduce, and still we'll only get an Oops, Sorry from Rolf and that'll be it. Probably the perfect time to take my months break from Wurm.

To those who are working their skills up before coming to Chaos, don't bother. Make your contacts with the group you want to join on Chaos and get over here now. Take a little advice and you will be just as safe as on the rest of the Freedom servers and you'll be learning the terrain and how to mesh with your villages fighting styles. You'll also be getting quite a lot of PvP advice in the process.

These are monarchs not elected officials so -1

Great job with the site! It's informative, entertaining and now bookmarked. Keep up the good work

agreed

Jesus christ woman!
