Hi, We have just patched the test server with a new function that I think will work nicely. You can now add tiles to an existing building, and remove tiles from an existing building. Removing tiles means you need to bash all existing adjacent walls and floors on that tile before you can remove the tile from the structure. Please test this properly as it is quite a large change to the codebase and requires alot of testing. Report your findings in this thread! Best regards Zcul

what did you expect? most of them are little kids playing minecraft.

To the person that went wandering through my deed sometime between last night and midday today, went into my mistakenly unlocked but beautifully fenced horse pen, killed my golden foal Fleablood, butchered it and only then realized you couldn't even pick up the meat due to deed permissions... I hope you rot in hell. Rot. In. Hell. He was a gift from a perfect, generous stranger and a treasure and now I'll never get a chance to watch him grow up or ride him anywhere for the adventure of it. I hope karma kicks you somewhere incredibly painful for the wanton murder of my baby horse.

Well done, DP. In relation to certain comments on this thread, I believe a prohpecy of the hallowed Mol-Rehan texts has come true. Scriptures of Mol-Rehan, Sand 18, Line 37: "So cometh a day of blatant shedding, of lachrymose water, rich of saline, from the eyes of your enemies most sore. Forward shall it flow, with such strength and plenty, that from its brackish body myriad rivulets shall form. Drink of them deeply, and so shall your strength grow."

I think the general consensus is; if you can walk away from your PC and continue to action beyond your queue allows then you're doing something prohibited. Edit: In addition, if you press one key to conduct more than one different action, then this is probably prohibited also. Repeating the same action to the limit of your mind logic would be permitted, providing it is in line with my first point.

Wow. Why are the responses in this thread so aggressive? People enjoy the game in different ways. Why try to belittle someone just because their way of playing does not match your own? I was very attached to my first horses and would have been mortified if they were killed and butchered. I would still be mortified if any of my current horses were killed and butchered. I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. Sorry that someone killed Fleablood, Chiclet. I hope it was just some noob who didn't know any better. Like Lizabeth said, we have Piekiss waiting for you. I will try to catch you in game sometime over the next few days.

+1 benches in my cathedral needs Wurmians able to sit down and listen to sermons

The player already have the tabard prepared I just haven't had any time making the textures for it. So it will come in due time. It will have the kingdom color and crest on it. http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Kingdom_banner

It is one hour, not 24... I still don't get why people are complaining about border pvp, open pvp was never disabled as far as I recall, whether it was with rep loss or as it is now, and there has not been any problems... I'm fairly certain I can assume changing alliances into kingdoms won't suddenly make people go all nolifenerd camping the borders.

Can we have a cool contest that doesn't involve lame "social" sites? Some of us have no desire to make accounts for them.

Look at this cute sheep!!! It doesn't have a home yet, it is still a construct in Saromans modeling tools. Now we need to get this little thing alive and kicking, and that is where you come in. You are hereby invited to suggest whatever recipies and weird things we should be able to make from this. The reward will be: Getting your suggestion implemented in the game! Best regards from your humble servants Saroman and Zcul

Well, hello again everyone. I know my gem buying has been temporarily stalled as I was gone for a few months. But I am back now and the gem bin is beginning to look a bit empty. I buy all gems: rubies, sapphires, diamonds, star gems, low ql, high ql, bulk amounts, and even the lone gem you just need to sell to go buy that shiny new tool. The FGS for gems is 2c/ql. And you better believe I still honor it. But for an added bonus, if you deliver, I will give you some of the gold that I would be paying the fairies to bring me the gems. For all amounts over 10 gems, I ask that you send me a PM before sending them my way, as we may be able to come to some sort of agreement. Have a good day everyone! And sell me all of your gems! - Felthanne

Face customization is neat, but kind of a let down you never get to see anyone on a PvP server. You just all look like the same great helm, and there's really no difference in people like that. Obviously you need a helmet for PvP, but maybe you do like a / command to disable the model rendering, and just show the face, but still have protection (yeah ripping off WoW).

Maybe you'll can add this for the future so we can make more life like barns.

That's where you lost them, mate.

I used to be able to have 2 wurm clients and another game open at the same time, but the trend of introducing new features without any optimization at all has turned wurm into a pig that causes my pc to grind to a halt when I try to do anything more than watch youtube videos and wurm at the same time.

I enjoyed every bit of this thread. Entertainment of the finest nature.

my basement is full of foals too ...

A limited edition of lanterns will be made on order, The Pocket Nova. A lantern mad at 95ql painted with 90+ white paint, price for this will 5s per lantern. I will limit orders on these to 10. First come first served as usual. So take the chance to get closer then ever to lanterns our gm:s carry today !

I agree that a proper clarification is needed. I think I already know the answer, but a sticky spelling it out might be nice to have. Doesn't really get simpler than that. Anything outside the game that automates actions.

OH, forgot to mention this. It might be usefull to have one or all of these situations about sheep: 1- Visual Fleece growth indicators (basically 3 skins to the animal, a Shorn skin, a "normal" skin, and a "Ripe" skin - ready to shear) 2- Mouse over indicator, similar to crops, At 20 AH (first trait level) mouse hovering a sheep would Show: "Shorn", "Short Wool", "Long Wool". 3- Examining the Sheep should Yeld a wool growth message: "The sheep has been shorn recently" "This sheep's wool/fleece is growing." "This sheep's wool/fleece is almost at perfect length." "This sheep's wool/fleece is long and ready to shear." You could also consider a couple more stages, and maybe waiting a bit after its ready to shear might yield more wool, but after a while it would yield more, but lower ql. Also, the condition of the sheep could influence the ql of the wool: Disease would yield less wool. Some negative traits (shorter legs, some kind of illness, feeble) would cause the sheep to produce less wool, and lower quality. Some positive traits (strong body, Strong and healthy, etc) would cause the sheep to produce more wool, and with better quality. Age could be a factor on production: Young would yeld no wool (be stuck at growing) Adolescent would yeld minimum ammounts, Mature, aged and old would yeld max ammounts, Venerable (since they're smaller) would yeld half the maximum ammount. Also grooming (like farming) would have a positive influence on the quantity and quality of produced wool.

Hi! I've had this issue for a month or even more now. Figured I could mess with the gfx settings in Wurm client and see if something may be causing it. After tinkering with different parameters I've managed to weed out the problem. What caused it for me was the antialiasing feature which when set on 0 doesn't reproduce the issue anymore. Now this may be because I'm running the Catalyst Control Center, but I really doubt it's coming from anything then the client. Maybe you should try and see if it's what's causing the issue for you aswell.

There is already a topic describing the bug here: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/72931-pavingpacking-under-water-on-north-and-west-facing-tiles/ although I figured it might get more attention in this section. What Happened: Couldn't pave underwater on a north or west facing slope. What you expected to happen: Being able to pave underwater on a slope as I could on a slope facing the opposite direction. Steps to reproduce: Attempt to pave on a north or west facing slope that is submerged.

Soo... it's the people on Chaos that make up all the trolls in GL-chat? Always good to hear your perfectly reasoned, unprejudiced, balanced views of the world.

+1 on this idea. I think its great and should have been implimented along time ago. There are times when I long on and see this thread that I say to myself, "they should delete this tread" Im sure its not the first time this has come up but I just cant seem to find it with the forum search. I would have expected it with 1.0 but its never to late to delete this thread. Just Delete it!

It's always facing south

Wox any chance on custom emblems? like using the same interface when you change your look, different presets of small details in the crest until you make a blend you like

You can already do this with jewlery (while it might be a bug though...), but I think the suggestion is for you only. So if you don't want to take that risk of not knowing if the guy's got a helm on or not, don't check it off. I'm gonna aim for your head anyway regardless.

Now it is also in the rules to not challenge a decision made made by staff and such in public, so if this thread is about honest opinion of the players for something that you were banned for, you aren't allowed to do it here :/

A PM is Private ...Im trying to get solid and good information for everyone...otherwise if I PM some GM or whatever..then its a "he said, she said" or word of mouth...not reliable

This post on Notch's blog makes me sad:( />http://notch.tumblr.com/post/37823268132/i-love-you-dad

I'm ok with 20 bricks for a brick wall or 20 planks for a wood wall. And there's 10 bricks for a brick floor or 5 bricks for a brick floor with an opening. That's all ok, I'm cool with that. What makes no sense is 20 bricks for a wall with a door or window. Same with a wood wall with a window. Too much material. Shouldn't a brick wall with a door take maybe 10 bricks with the rest made up of planks for the door? And a brick wall with a window take maybe 15 bricks with a couple planks for the window frame? Maybe a wood wall with a door would be ok with 20 planks. But a wood wall with a window maybe 15 planks. If you are going to reduce the material needed for a floor with an opening be consistent and do the same with walls that have openings. And if you have a brick wall with a wood door or wood window frame include some wood in the material requirements. Just my opinion.

I was wondering the same thing myself. Rather odd. I take it you keep no animals on your deed? One might, but as Spiral pointed out, one could say this about many things. I really didn't see the original post as crying or raging or whatever pejorative some people insist on ascribing. As seems to happen a bit too often, the aggression is turned towards the wrong individual. The question I would have is: What is so wrong in the foal-killer's life that they choose to behave this way? It's like people who use aimbots in FPS games... makes me wonder what they must be going through in real life. Computer games have been part of the classroom for a long time now. From the Oregon Trail to now Minecraft being used educationally. There will come a time when behaviors taken in specifically designed games will serve as tangible warning signs of anti-social behavior. Not necessarily as a primary diagnostic tool, but certainly as an indication of which kids need the most help. Recently, in planetside 2, I encountered what was clearly an aimbotter. I actually whispered him to say that whatever was going on for him, there's always people willing to help. He can seek out and talk to any adult he trusts... then I wished him luck and told him to hang in there. Would you believe he actually thanked me? When someone cries out for help, in whatever form they have available, the Human and humane thing to do is to respond with empathy and compassion. To do so is not a sign of weakness, just as kicking someone while they're down is not a sign of strength.

+1 if you can fish while sitting. and can we add an umbrella, tackle box and picnic basket while we're at it?

Protunia, i dont think you understand the situation here. Allow me to spell it out for you. Rolf is introducing free disbands because of the following steps. Ill go through each slowly for you. 1) People settled on Chaos assuming the server code wouldnt change. 2) People placed deeds on a server which they assumed they wouldnt be raided on. 3) Rolf says Chaos rule set is changing, therefore the server which people planted deeds on is no longer what they may have moved there for. 4) Rolf decided that its only fair that people who do not want to live on the server because the rules are changing (please refer to step 2 to be reminded why they landed on Chaos) and so offers free refunds due to this. Rolf is not introducing free disbands because of the following steps. I'll go through each slowly for you. 1) No server code is changing which affects villages. I hope this helps Protunia.

Protunia, Chaos is in flux. PVP towns rarely move. Your three years in one place is a short-lived village compared to some on Chaos. But a lot of folks have moved to Chaos and founded new villages in the last year under different rulesets. Now the rules are changing again, and allowing those folks a way out from changes that will change the fundamental nature of the server is a good plan, else there will be much rage-quitting. If Rolf decides to make all the servers in Freedom PVP and give us an opportunity to move elsewhere, then yes, a deed refund would be in order. If fact, if I'm not mistaken, something like that has occurred at least once before - when Independence was opened. I understand what you are saying, but don't agree with you.

Btw i volunteer to do the sound effects for the sheep if ya like.

My daughter Nikku gave you that foal, Chiclet. I have another gold male foal called Piekiss that you can have to watch grow up, and he's not related to your Windclip so will make a nice breeding pair. I know it's not the same, but hope it helps a little

We should be able to pick them up. Activate sheep, right click catapult- load. wrinch 10 times, on when fired you hear a Baaa sound.

New Skill for Sheep Shearing New Crafting skill Shears, replace pliers with them. Make cloaks, interior armor padding, new food source, new alchemy source, same old stuff. Clothing items with wool, or cloth in general. Be able to make blankets to make beds look fancier, tapestries maybe?

Ya know what? Maybe you research into why people have many horses first? I'm getting sick of so many new players saying that there are horse hoarders everywhere. You know where all those horses come from? Breeding. Those people are horse breeders that breed tons of horses to get different traits into new generations of horses, you need a wide gene pool so you don't end up with in-breeding. Those nice 4-5 speed horses with no bad traits come from generations of breeding. It isn't hoarding, horse breeders are always killing off venerable horses, non needed parents of younger horses, lower traits horses that won't sell and horses that have bad traits in them. So maybe it is because of horse breeders having many horses but an easy work around might be to write in that named horses, which are bred horses, are not part of the non-aggro database. Therefor this would mean more non-aggros would spawn in the wild.

if you build a real doughnut shaped house then the inner area is considered outside and you have higher decay but can plant crops.

I may have missed it in the thread, but... Why exactly do new (or arguably, any) players even need money in Wurm? I wonder sometimes if folks are carrying their sensibilities from other MMOs into Wurm, and not quite seeing that it works very differently here. Everything you might need in Wurm, you can create on your own. Having others create things beyond your skill level or interest is a luxury or a convenience, rather than a necessity. Deeds - while a wise investment - are not a necessity. Premium time - also a wise investment - is not a necessity. I'm sorry if it seems a bit harsh, but all this sounds like to me is people wanting to get everything for nothing. Wurm is a business and a product, not a charity. If you like it, pay for it. If you like it but you're broke, play as a free player and pay as you can.... or don't - Wurm lets you play for free as long as you want to! If you just can't be happy making do with what you've got, pony up the €10 and shoosh.

What I find most insulting about all of this is how someone can claim that they know what beauty is, or they know what sane is and their visions and ideas reflect truth. Hell, even to claim what Wurm is, or should be is obnoxious. Wurm is whatever Rolf says it is. Beauty is whatever the viewer decides it to be. Declaring a building as "insane" just demonstrates a lack of creativity or imagination. A proper mushroom house could exist, if the upper floors were made out of reed. Or it exists because of some sort of magic charm on the house. Perhaps there are imaginary ropes that are keeping the top half of the building from falling over. Whatever you have to do to keep you "immersed". But If your version of Wurm gets in the way of my own creativity, then I reject your version of Wurm. Rolf has all the prerogative here. He decides what he wants his game to look like, so if he tells me "I don't want buildings like that in my game" then I'd say "roger that! I'll have to come up with something else". But when some player comes along and tries to dictate to me what they think Wurm is, and tell me how I should be playing because to do otherwise would cause them "eye grief" and ruin their immersion, that's where I have a problem. I don't play this game to create immersion for anyone but myself. I don't play to create beautiful structures for anyone but myself. I don't expect to have to answer to anyone for anything I do on my own deed. (that all said, I have not built anything that should cause offense to anyone. I don't find "mushroom" houses appealing. There are a lot of things I don't find appealing. But I not selfish enough to try and get the game mechanics changed so that things people build appease me)

I was thinking it would be nice if while sitting food and water consumption are reduced. Like an AFK mode or good for when you want to just sit down and chat.

+1 and show sleeping people in beds if they are used.

Because Chaos is a bigger map it's easier to have more "capturing" objectives, players have made big movements and campaigns for land -- like the WL, or when BL went all way from the now HotA steppe to gates of Ourwall. It's not like that though on Epic, the map is much smaller, and less interest in land because players have whole home servers. It's primary goal is always PvP/fighting, where as on Chaos it is a goal, but there's also more goals in terms of land/conquering/expansion. That's why the two servers will always differ a bit, along with other reasons like the sheer sizing, Home servers, and curve.
