Hey guys. Been working on trailer in my spare time ever since Wurm 1.0 was released back in December. I finally managed to finish it and want to share it with the Wurm Community. Hope you guys enjoy. Watch The Unofficial Wurm Online Trailer

Here are some WIP previews on some of the Animals we have in the pipeline. Croc (*texture in mouth have been corrected since this screen was taken ) Pig Hyena (not so rabid yet ) Rat Foal And I'm working on Copper, Bronze, Silver, Gold metal for the chain mail, I'll hope can add Bronze and Gold tomorrow to the graphics pack.

You wanna know the hardest thing about this game? It's that this game is about people. Real people, and their interactions. Relationships, associations, friendships, and hatreds. Gained and Lost. Moreso than any other MMO i've ever played (more than I can remember). There are no real NPCs to speak of. No gaggle of quest givers to keep idle hands and minds at play. The story is the game community. It is a far greater, involving, and personal story than could ever be written by a pool of storytellers. And it is fantastic, joyous, painful, and tragic. Always and ongoing. The mechanics and graphics are shallow props to what makes this game what it is.

ok i will need nice and a bit biger rug for my office that one we have now are made for meditation, can be use in deco too.... but if we get bit biger and made for just deco we all be more happy and creative so like title says,,,, i dont think this will be hard to make for devs

The 2nd time you make a post that just makes you look so stupid. Why do you even play wurm? You like none of it's features and if you don't like grinding this is not the game for you. I don't mind the grinding, everything takes so long, and that makes it fun aswell, because you aren't finished in a day or two and get bored like doing dailys in WoW or whatever. My suggestion is, quit this game and never come back.

I'm not one of the GM's that has seen the situation, but from what you've said, it sounds like you fell down a drop shaft, created when one mine crosses another at a significant height difference. GM's help out when a player is trapped by a bug. The above situation is not a bug, hence they would not teleport you out. Wurm is not a game where your hand is held and you're coaxed along gently. I have refused many people the same assistance, and some have been carrying equipment consderably more valuable that you have mentioned (drake sets and in one case considerably more silver). In the past there have been bugged dropshafts, created by tunneling creatures, which we have helped people out of, but evidently this case is not one of them as evidenced by the fact that two GMs have explained that they won't help. Thread cosed as this is not the place to air your grievances. Contact Enki or Oracle with a forum PM if you feel you have been treated wrongly. Edit: I was curious, so I popped on to have a look. Perfectly normal dropshafts. Admittedly that mine is a bit of a mess, but theres no bug there. You're also not at water level and you've tried to make your situation sound worse than it is.

This is not a post about the time it takes to get skill or to do things. Rather this is a post about grinding for the sake of grinding. It really settled in on me when I heard a guy telling a priest to get soul depth, he should fill 1000 pans with 1 fillet and 1 garlic, turn on sleep bonus, and light, just to get a few points of SD. This is probably how people run out of fatigue as well. Really? Its the same problem you get anytime you do skill up through use. Ultima Online had this exact same problem. Imagine if you were sitting at an across the table RPG (D&D or whatever) and you told the DM, "Ok, I am going to whack this wall 1000 times to raise my mining skill, please make 1000 rolls and tell me how much skill gain I got" and he told you "Ok, but we have to sit here for 1000 x 15 seconds" Where is the fun? The best sessions were always the ones where the DM handed out xp at the end based on things you did while having fun. There is probably no real solution to skillup through use, which is the right answer by the way, its just hard to prevent people from getting into the mindset of "grind to advance" Worse it makes people who arent OCD or dont like grinding get discouraged with Wurm and move on, which is definitely our loss, losing potential players and income for the company. Personally I try to limit grinding, its probably why with 20 days play time since 12/12/12, I do not have a single skill > 50. I have a few that are in the 40's and a number in the 30s. I like to do things because i need to for some enjoyment aspect of the game You could limit skill gain if you grind too much, and this happens in some aspects, ie, you cannot prospect the same wall over and over, but it would tick off the OCD crowd. Eve Online probably hit the right solution with Skill Points over time, and you assign them where you need, but I am not sure that would work here. And look, before you say it, I am not trying to change the game. Just like with my PFTN: Economy post, I am providing what I see as "new" player that could detract from the game having a larger playerbase and more success (which would mean more development for us all). So lets discuss this, rather than hurling insults or telling people that if you dont like it quit (worse thing you can say, we need players). Are there any solutions to the grind 1000 bow strings for rope skill, or 1000 stews for soul depth, etc? Could we give more skill gain for doing a variety of things than for grinding the same thing over and over.

This ain't minecraft

So does every other paving material: From http://wurmpedia.com/index.php/Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2009 (emphasis mine) So, gravel is absolutely no different than cobble, slab, or planks in this respect. The rules for highways, as written, are sufficiently clear, and need no amendments. The roads are functioning, as designed. There are tradeoffs during construction, and road builders use different techniques depending on conditions, needs, and available time. Decay, creation, and destruction all happen, for roads of all types of materials. There is no perfectly durable road material.

After like 7 years, I have yet to grind any skill in wurm. I build what I need and buy what I don't make myself. Any grinding by people is purely a choice.

this game is not for everyone and that sounds like maybe is not for you. or maybe u just need to stop thinking that the fact that you dont like something means its a problem.

This specific check is intentional. The purpose is that building massively high houses should be hard.

To be perfectly honest the current system is both fast and simple. You will get used to it. The #2 wouldn't be a terrible addition though. ~ hotkey to show what corner I would be affecting.

I think that dying within your first few minutes on a server is all part of the noob experience lol. I think most, if not all of us here died within the first few minutes of being on a server. A modification to the idea would be ALL their starting gear would stay with them on death including compass for their first 1-2 days of ingame time. Or better yet all the stuff in their inventory stays on them when they die for the first day, that way there isn't the frantic search for the body.

I built this highway. It opens up offshore highway access to New Haven Bay (formerly Norllynster Port). It's been needed for a while, and it terminates at the edge of someone's fenced in perimeter. There's nothing wrong with this. It's not a road to nowhere, it just comes to an end (as many roads do). The settlement of Dune predates the highway, they're not in violation of any rules, and they should be left alone. In the last 9 months there have been several deeds there, and yesterday's weather tells me Dune might disband someday. If it does, I'll continue the highway westward toward Aedgon. Eventually everything will connect and it will support commerce in our area. No rules were broken here, no discourtesies or troubles were created. There are no neighborly disputes. Locals helped to plan and support the road. This thread smacks of outsiders meddling with our local affairs, and it's unwanted and unnecessary. Edit: s/preexists/predates/g

Most of us who have played a while have learned this lesson, often the hard way. Wurm Players (Put A Deed On It) To the tune of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" by Beyonce All the Wurm players! (All the Wurm players!) x4 Now put your tools up! Just logged in Ready to begin Wurm's been waiting for me Decided to build, And now you want us killed 'Cause our house is where you wanted to be Walked around, examined the ground Asked the folks in Local Now we're grinding our skills, And trying to make meals But you just won't leave us be [Chorus] If you liked it then you should've put a deed on it Don't be mad when you see that we got it oh oh oh oh oh 1.0 oh oh oh oh oh Got our Settlement Form Before we terraformed Put 30 tiles in between our deeds You showed up Didn't even say "'sup" Just started chopping down trees Being all rude Seriously, dude, Did you take your medication? You had your chance, Put on your big boy pants And let me finish this BSB [Chorus] Don't assume about the space by your place Pay for it just in case Your money's all that cements your intents SIlver's all that guarantees Your mine and trees Build as you please Without unease or repairs And keeps folk off your lawn Gives you a place to spawn Templars to make a mess And enforce KOS... [Chorus]

It would really be nice if ... 1.) I could actually hear my dog or pet barking/vocalizing. 2.) Those vocalizations actually warned me of, say, a venerable brown bear (or any hostile), when it gets within a certain distance that is just far enough away I haven't quite aggroed it. This would be especially useful at night, obviously. You could make the "warning" distance window about 3 to 5 tiles or so, perhaps. It's tough enough when you're just starting out, and even later ... an insta death via old hell hound or xyclops is really disheartening. No, really. ;~)

Hey guys notice a lack of video tutorials for this game so I decided to make some basic tutorials on my free time for the new players. I got five videos so far ranging from how to feed yourself and how to build your first home. I just hope my Asian accent isn't too strong. http://www.youtube.c...3e?feature=mhee

Pretty much all of my suggestions are mentioned already, but I'll say them anyway: Wool tailoring Clothing and assorted other things, especially cloaks and skirts/dresses. Knitting/crochet would be awesome. I don't know if spinning wheels fit the time period, and the drop spindles aren't that hard to make yarn with. Possibly add carders to turn the wool into rolags and spin those. Wool is both warm and flame resistant, so wool clothing should give bonus protection against both fire and cold spells. Lanolin (Wool wax, quotes taken from http://www.lanolin.c...plications.html) Lanolin is a product of the washing process that readies wool for turning into textiles. Could be used in Natural Substances as an additive to covers and salves. "In burn dressings, lanolin supports the wound healing process and enhances dermal repair." [*]Could be used to improve leather items (separate from the usual imping process), or added to iron/steel armour and woolen items to reduce damage over time. "In the Middle Ages, knights' armour and tools were coated with a thin waxy film of lanolin, which conserved them through to modern times." Butchering products (Hides, animal bits, sheepskin, etc.) Sheep milk and cheese - It would be nice to have more sources for the dairy skills.

The skillgain isn't designed like that just for the sake of emulating reality, rather to make the game reward players the more they play.

No differences other than looks

Too bad more new peoples opinions aren't chewed up, digested and thought about instead of hearing the same old tired rebuttals.

trying to decide if i should level my butchering or sell this freak cast so sorta depends on how much i would get for it plz post what you think it would sell for in auction

Arch, it's pointless. Just accept it. In wurm you face a unique very refined game which doesn't have an equal. There are other Sandbox games out there, but many with only PvP or Permadeath or no terraforming. Wurm is quite ok in it's own way, but it's not the best. But as well as you got these points you also got a stubborn community and slow developement. A community who accepts that when you get stuck somewhere with money (which has Real World value) is something not to bother about. Because we all got too much money and can't spend enough. A community that says, "Why are you against lamps on deeds which need oil and guards to turn them on ? In real life you also need to turn on your lights by yourself." But at the same moment nobody says anything about wounds not healing while you sleep. Because we all know when you sleep your body totally stops and freezes. A developement which lets you do do two hundred clicks, open two hundred context menus and find the entry "small nails" and also click that 200 times to create an items that you need as much in this game as you need air to breath. Developement which still lets you drop items back and forth between two containers and your inventory to manage storage or transportation so you need about 2 hours to load a ship. Two hours of your lifetime that you won't get back at all. Just an example of how "cool" that grinding is: our neighbour deed had a blacksmith who was really engaged in his job. He spent 30 days of ingame time to get to level 90+, then got fed up with the game only being about grinding no matter what you do and left forever. GJ ! Good and potential long term customer gone. But that's something people don't see. I read somewhere that Notch was asked what would happen to wurm when he left, and it's said the answer was "Wurm is going nowhere." And i'm still not sure how to interpret that. There's so many things that would make the game more worthwhile and at the same time lack of an alternative on the game market. So we're just stuck here. You may hope for some nice features and that they come fast, but that's about it.

maybe if you took your pants of before pooping ...

Sounds good, i know its hard to cast those enchants so im in no hurry. Although i would have liked it yesterday =)

6s Maybe winning this will make me go over and see CS, looks great in the pictures. Hoping to have an alt make it for the opening on Sat, but will also be trying to get up to Akhenaten 5. Darn scheduling conflicts.

That's the gold chain set.

Yah really, overcrowding is just annoying >.>

Will overcrowding also be fixed?

Huge grin on my face as it played! Love the change of seasons, the choices of roles increasing in speed as displayed... awesome job!

Great work. Its an awesome trailer. Rolf make this the official of Wurm

The biggest reason we need this added is for PVE. We simply do not have any challenges that can even be considered PVE despite the fact we call them that. Having the seperate serve ensures that 2 sets of people can be happy. The people who are looking for some challenge from stronger than current mobs and the people who do not want to be afraid to step off deed because the mobs are tougher. It is win win. There doesnt have to be a charge for gods sake. Making it a premium only server and keeping the customer base happy enough to continue their monthly subscription is Rolfs reward. You people are aware that each game server isnt using 1 actual server all by itself right? Im guessing thats why the smaller servers are more attractive to Rolf. Can run a few on each machine.

Make sure you have your settings turned moderately low, because Nvidia GT240 is a budget card from three years ago, Make sure especially under "Advanced Graphics" in the Wurm launcher, that player texture resolution is set no higher than 512. I especially recommend you try the settings listed in the stickied thread, Configuring The Client: Looking Nice, While Running On Low Settings If you are already running at the settings in that link, the next thing I would check is the graphics driver version, because if you have the generic drivers from the computer maker (HP, Dell, Compaq etc) they very often do not support OpenGL games very well, Again mainstream DirectX games may seem to run fine. You'll want the very newest drivers direct from NVidia and not from the computer maker. Make sure this is the driver you have installed: http://www.nvidia.co...hql-driver.html Finally, there could be conflict with other software on the computer (national "off-the-shelf" computer brands very often are stuffed with unnecessary programs that can cause conflicts or it might be an over-aggressive firewall or antivirus program. I usually avoid installing games to "Program Files" because Windows also starts overmanaging files there, and instead always install games to c:\games\wurm etc. Also, make sure if this computer is several years old, that you have run a disk defragmenter on it every month or two. If it has gone years without a defrag, that may also cause severe performance issues. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Since it is a Java out of memory issue, you might also try some tweaks that set aside more memory for java heap size though it's been a while since I looked into that; someone else here may have some input on that. There used to be a lot of guides on the web solving the same java memory issue for Minecraft and the steps would be the same.

1 90+ coc pickaxe please, ql as low as possible

I thought it said Saturday Night Live talked about wurm last night, almost sprained my finger I clicked on that so fast.

From GL chat. So lets hope

Some pretty terrible beliefs.

[history] FYI, when i first started making roads in Gold.1 we were going to use gravel to line our highways but the graphics of gravel was changed to some orange colour, so we decided to use sand, plus using sand on the sides is a lot easier when the ground is mostly flat (our highways were always 2 cobble with sand border) So if gravel at that time had looked better, then the standard may well have been gravel on the sides instead of sand. [/history]

I think the only thing needs removing is the cooldown in PvE so that we can train it up more easily like those before it was added. However keep it in PvP

Being unlucky and getting killed by a wandering dragon while adventuring....NOT FUN. Being unlucky and having the dragon decided to "nest" right next to you deed.....NOT FUN. Having a dragon randomly show up at your deed, kill all guards and pets, bash your fences.....NOT FUN. imo, The potential for griefer dragons is far worse then the idealistic value wanting dragons to be more prevalent and immune to penning. Penning may not look right but these dragons certainty aren't causing anyone problems. Like I said before, If dragons are to start spawning more, escaping pens, randomly wandering MAKE THEN NON-AGGRO! Be smart! Make changes that benefit all positively. If you want to fight a dragon, great, go do it. If you wan to ignore it, sure, its blue outline.

Problem is that they would then also have to block/ban on RL money sales outside of the game. Something that is diffcult to confirm since they would need to manually audit every transaction over X amount in silver value. Set the bar too low and the GMs spend all day auditing, too high and it is easy to by-pass. And either way will generate more drama than the dragon threads combined lol

At this point im more worried about requirements to form PMK. With given chaos population, it would be rather hard to gather up 50ppl at same time..

Satyva, use imgur - i think that's what most people do. You should be able to upload images without signing up for an account.

You miss my point entirely.

I sympathize with you Chiclet. Although I have over 30 horses on my Stables deed there are a few that are special to me as well including RageBaxter, my first horse who is 3 years old IRL time even though he is only a 2 speed. Also Fastswift the first 5 speed horse I bred and Runsweet my favorite breeding mare. I hope Karma bites the perpetraitor in the Butt.

Sorry this happened Chiclet. if you find out who did it, pm me and my alliance will KOS the asshat. obviously some assbag that has no respect for others property. But also, please lock your deed down better so there are no repeat performances of this.

Protest on Pristine A peaceful protest turned ugly outside the newly opened Natural Substance Abuse Clinic on Pristine today. Dozens of local villagers armed with signs and weapons formed a picket line in front of the entrance to the NSAC, denying entry to anyone that wanted to go in. After some screaming and shouting, a fight broke out and Spirit Templars had to be called to the scene to break up the unauthorized gathering. The Clinic was created as a place for Wemp growers to use their product in peace and quiet. Clean, unused rope tools are given to the Wemp growers for free as they enter and they're allowed to produce their product in a private room, undisturbed. The protesters argue they don't want this type of person in their neighbourhood because there's a training academy for newbs just down the street. Another complaint is these types of buildings lower the property value of homes in the area. If you walk down any of the roads in the area you can easily score 1,000 kgs of Wemp for around 1 silver. The streets simply aren't safe for anyone any more. After all the dust settled, the crowd was cleared and ordered home. No arrests were made. Edit: pic went missing, re-upped it

Nobody can bash in the wall just because you are not playing anymore, they have to wait for one section of it to decay. Which is unlikely to happen for a long time if the deed has any upkeep in it. And it is pointless since you cannot farm someone deed if you do not have deed permissions. It would be decent of the GMs though in cases of permabans to blow up writs and tokens so someone else can put the land to good use.
