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

I wanted to give a heads up and again stress that you have to make preparations asap for increased PvP on Chaos. I've just started coding with the aim of adding the player made kingdoms and the conquerable towers code. This means a lot of changes in lots of files. I've created a code branch but there will be a lot of changes and if I work in both branches and try to merge later I'm really scared to end up with lots of conflicts and mess things up for other things. This means I'll probably avoid merging and instead hold off this Chaos code for as long as possible instead. In any case there will be no update until after the weekend, but eventually we will have to update and the code goes live which means you really need to prepare defenses now. There will be free disbands for those settlements on Chaos that no longer wants to stay there once it's live. The way I'm coding now means it won't be a home server with the Freedom kingdom everywhere any longer. Alliances will not be at war if they are in the same kingdom and people from the same kingdom will not be at war so until someone has joined another kingdom you'll all be at peace. We will still have to wait for an update to the player model where different kingdom symbols are visible.

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).

If this is not a worthy suggestion I do not know what is. Sitting the hell down! I see plenty of chairs and places to sit down, chilled times to be had here and there but NO DAMN SITTING! I know Wurm is a levelling game but I have seen many times where there are a bunch of people STANDING NEXT TO CHAIRS HAVING A CHILLED CONVERSATION and it DRIVES ME CRAZY. /rant PS: Please?.

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

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.

my basement is full of foals too ...

you can expand your deed and place those tiles on your deed. This give you the mayor the ability to mine out the reinforced tiles.

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 !

Priceless xD Forgot this   Prayer: 57.811836 <--- gems harvester xD

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.

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.

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.

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

Whens my prize getting here. I liked and followed and circled wurms social network faster then lindsey Lohan crashes a car

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 :/

I tried searching and have had confusing replies. I have asked people and again some seem to think you can and others state you cant. So my question is simple has anyone tested this and is it proven that marsh does or doesnt feed your cows, bulls, horses, etc thank you kersha

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

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.

Give karma as a reward, depending on dungeon difficulty

Butchering would give Meat, hide, bladder, tail, hoof and eye, simmilar to cows and horses. Should be milked Metal Shears, for shearing them -> Shearing would use animal husbandry, and ql of wool would be Dependant on AH skill. Cloth Tailoring recipes: Wool->Spindle->Rough Wool String/Yarn Rough Wool String -> Spindle->Cloth String (same uses as made from cotton) Rough Wool String (3 kg) -> Loom-> Wool Covers (can replace Fur on beds) Rough Wool String (0.4 kg) -> Loom-> Kilt (why not?) Rough Wool String (0.8 kg (same as jacket+legs for cloth should do it, or just round up to 1kg) -> Loom-> Wool Cloak (Decorative Item for torso (back), gives protection against elemental wounds (Ice, Fire, etc) to torso, legs and feet can be enchanted with protective spells, like Vynora's Hand, Nolocate, etc. Could be white originally, then dyed and be made to show dye color) Rough Wool String (12kg, like barding) -> Loom->Large Wool Cloak (Equipable on animals, same as other wool cloak) Knitting Needles, for knitting Rough Wool String (0,2 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Balaclava (Should be equippable in the FACE - Would give minor protection against eye injury from elemental wounds) Rough Wool String (0,2 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Knitted Hat (Skully type hat, like all wool things would give minor protection against elemental wounds) Rough Wool String (0,1 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Wool Gloves Rough Wool String (0,5 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Wool Jumper Rough Wool String (0,3 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Wool Leggings Rough Wool String (0,2 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Wool Sleeves Rough Wool String (0,1 kg) -> Knitting needles -> Wool Sock (can be worn under boots and shoes - Increases resistance to element damage) *Wool Should be slightly stronger than Cloth in terms of armor strength Wool (0.3 kg) -> Mallet (or press) -> Square Piece of Felt (Could be used to polish items replacing pelts) Square Piece of Felt (0,3kg) -> Needle -> Felt Hat (Armor strength between wool and leather) Square Piece of Felt (0,1kg) -> Needle -> Felt Gloves Square Piece of Felt (0,5kg) -> Needle -> Felt jacket Square Piece of Felt (0,3kg) -> Needle -> Felt Pants Square Piece of Felt (0,2kg) -> Needle -> Felt Sleeves Square Piece of Felt (0,1kg) -> Needle -> Felt Shoes Square Piece of Felt (1kg) -> Needle -> Felt Bag (Could be used to keep objects warm for a longer period, also could slow/prevent decay of SOLID food on inventory) Square piece of Cloth (0.5kg) -> Needle -> Tabard (can be equipped on top of other armor, Could be originaly made white, then be dyed, and show proper dye color) Embroidery Skill (tailoring sub-skill): Rough Wool String (0.5kg) -> Square Piece of Cloth(1kg) -> "X"* Embroidered Rug (Equivalent to Exquisite) Rough Wool String (1kg) -> Square Piece of Cloth(3kg) -> "X"* Embroidery (Activate Embroidery, right click Wall (no windows or doors) -> Hang) The embroidery would show on the wall. Rough Wool String (0.1kg) -> Tabard -> "X"* Embroidered Tabard Rough Wool String (0.1kg) -> Any Cloak -> "X"* Embroidered Cloak * The "X" should be replaced with a descriptor, like Freedom Isles Embroidery, which would be a image of the Freedom Isles coat of arms. Or Hunting Embroidery, would show a hunting scene, etc. In case of Tabards and cloaks, only coats of arms should be allowed. Leatherworking: Animal Fur -> Wool Cloak -> Fur Trimmed Cloak Animal Fur -> Wool Cloak -> Fur coat (incomplete - Needs 2 more furs) English isn't my native language... Upon reading the Other posts, remembered Rough Wool String could be replaced with Yarn String...

What exactly is fair about allowing free disbands on servers where the rules haven't been changed or are in a constant state of flux? The disbands are there to allow players that settled under the limited pvp ruleset to up and leave if they so desire. Also on Wild/Chaos we don't move deed tokens as a rule as they are fixed into secured positions generally. So... if you want to move your token, you pay for it, not beg for free disbands coz the other server you don't play on might be getting free disbands. LOL

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

In true penned creatures are more like statues last days, you cannot make them less moving around Or even better remove PvP completely, It will solve tons of conflicts at once ... Just joking, but Joanavon, think twice, before you will use word remove next time.

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.

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.

haggis.

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

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)

Just did some tweaking, seems to be okay for now.

Yes, the Wurm Academy is player run, not 'supported' by the staff in any way other than some staff members are involved in it as players. Almost everything in Wurm is entirely player driven/created/maintained. Brash, this made me thing of the Dwarf Fortress Wiki: />http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Fun

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.

Pokemon, 'nuff said

Dwarf Fortress doesn't have a learning curve. It has a learning cliff. Like so:

Oh noes! It's another drunken and slightly ruffled Wossoo (someone suggested I take off my bowtie and I was too drunk to sort myself out when I put it back on)
