I don't think its fair that the map was allowed to be damaged twice by items that were not supposed to be used on Chaos, please either revert the damage caused and remove these pools of moonmetal or make it so that the items are available again and its not just another window of opportunity. As there was no discussion about allowing our map to be destroyed by these items, the damage caused whilst they were temporarily available should be reverted. #RemovetheVandalism Edit: Added Poll

HotA is an intended feature of Chaos. The volcanoes are not, this is the majority difference.

Should take Sorcery away as a whole. All or nothing, both ways.

Ok, I don't think this is going to go anywhere good. *Click*

You want access to moonmetals then fight for it in game not on the forums.

bump, i'd like to thank everyone again who donated, without all of you guys its very likely gabriel wouldn't gave gotten his surgery. the other day he returned home after staying at the vet for a while to make sure the surgery went well

Hello, my name is Lars. I'm an intern here at Code Club AB. Nice to meet you all! As part of the interview that's about to go up with Wurm's Art Director Emil "Wox" Norrman, Emil was kind enough to make a comprehensive break-down of his work-process. The showcase is the 'Game Master Dark'-model, which he used to scare the crap out of me when I first jumped into Wurm. You can find it here! zip file with pdf version

The server is 16,777,216 tiles on chaos The volcanoes take up roughly 2874 tiles each so that is roughly 5654 tiles that are not in your domain, area, or territory. They are basically scenic areas that are within Mol Rehan kingdoms 'area of influence.' That is roughly 0.03% of the server that these Volcano's occupy and if you feel horribly offended by their location or creation then please avoid the area or lands. By your definition any area that disrupts natural landscape is an offense as the only valid judgment then alot of cities occupy more land than either volcano or the combined area. The Capital city of House of Mol-Rehan is 40,401 tiles and what is the current size of each capital? Should we limit players or kingdoms to a limited number of tiles they can change? If i wanted to I can created a "TRUE" Volcano that is twice the size than both of these with enough dirt and some Power paths to get the Lava flow. Should that be deemed illegal cause you feel it threatens your existence on chaos?

Hey maybe if you don't want epic items on chaos, you can get rid of your EPIC tomes a well hmm, hmm?

These volcanos are silly and were never supposed to be on chaos - thus the abilities are no longer available for people to use here now. The fact they have been removed must symbolise that it was a bug to include them on the server in the first place - In which case the developers should clean up two MASSIVE bugs sitting on the map. My main problem with the volcanos is the fact a huge chunk of it is underwater which will kill anybody who's not aware that it is there. You are likely to sail over 2-3 tiles (or more if the wind is crazy) before you notice you're dying, then trying to turn back - it's suicide.

There's a reason you typically see experienced players organizing a dragon slaying, there's more to it than just getting critical mass and whacking at it. Xallo knows what he's doing and we had a pretty reasonable group for the white on Exodus, just about the easiest dragon there is, and we wiped. We came right back and killed it but the first attempt was a bit of a fiasco. (sorry Xallo ) I get the desire to come up with new novel ways to distribute loot, that's great but it is going to require more organization than this unless you just want to see the largest PvE wipe in Wurm history which I'd absolutely be down to watch (watch not participate in). The time and energy expended is exactly why experienced organizers pay themselves/team in Valrei drops. They organize a *successful* kill that gives everyone there blood and a title (title bugs not withstanding) in exchange for the drop. Anyway good luck. If this actually works and you kill a champ plus wipe out 50+ folks it will go down in history so there's that. And to clarify I really do hope you get a large crowd and manage to kill it, just skeptical.

doesnt matter on epic cause it doesnt leave its chest

Nothing is more frustrating (well, I can think of other things, but....) than creating an altar that cannot be moved from the stupid place it dropped. I suggest allowing altars to be pushed and pulled within the tile they are created on. This would allow fine-tuning of the position of the altar but still prevent it from being pushed off the tile. To be clear, allow the altar to be positioned using push/pull but only on the tile it is dropped onto when created. Discuss.

Could we expand Discard to be able to use on everything? I wouldn't have to leave furs and pelts all over the place when I'm hunting. Would also make cleaning up areas easier.

So.... We are supposed to talk about GV chars in the epic cluster market? Wat.

ok so honestly, I had no idea were these volcanoes were as I have yet to see them, No, looking at their locations what the hell are ccycou ccrying ccaccbout? You will never see the one south of HOM unless you actually try to raid something... which you wont that far into MR lands anyway. The other location is kinda in the way for traveling from server to server. However, with the MR presence int he area, you are at far more risk getting killed by a player before you get close to the thing anyway. So this is absolutly NOT about ruining your view but instead about the metal. Personally, I think its more about reverting your deed than anything and you thought by crying that its a pockmark on our beautiful map you might gain followers. If you don't like the looks of our volcanoes then don't come into our lands. If its about the metal... here's a thought... GO WIN A HOTA!

Everyone who is claiming to be offended by these cause they damaged the map, you're just jealous because we've an additional supply of adamantite. I agree that they're ugly. They destroy the map. But they're there now. The areas they're in barely affect anyone. If anything, they affect the people who live close by. If you want your share of adamantite - go there. The craters are not deeded, neither are the surroundings. Nobody is watching the 300x300 area around them 24/7 either. Take your chance or don't. It's just the same as with HOTA, you either attempt it or you don't. The Volcnoes are even more random, since you never know when they spawn boulders. So take your chance, go there, search for boulders. Or again: Don't.

I don't think it has as much to do with the damage to map, more like 1 kingdom abused a bug and now they get free moon metals almost daily next to their capital and war deed.

Hey there, So apparently Rite of Spring cast is available for Independence server again. To give people enough time for travel and burning their sleep-bonus, I like to announce the casting for next Sunday at around 9 p.m. (CEST - central european summer time) [or is it standard?] - anyways here is your timer: The casting will be happening at Silent Hill, favor will be supplied and anybody wanting to help with the fun is welcome. - with some luck we can sneak in a few sermons too for people lacking faith - hehe. We haven't decided who will do the casting yet, but with Smilingcat, Jekkumage and Wega we have some hope of succeding. - If you really think that you are more able than one of us, come along and we ll haggle out something (no we wont, or will we?) Cheers and have fun, Fritz

Just like the topic states. Male characters do the neat cross legged animation, but females just stand there. To reproduce bug, watch a female meditate on a rug.

As a long term Wild/Chaos player, I'm appalled that someone was allowed to vandalize the oldest map in the game with something that shouldn't have even been in this cluster. +1

+1 Volcanos were supposed to be in elevation only. Why should one kingdom that planted one Volcano at Kratos and one at Ravenholm have the right to farm moonmetals for free just because they used the bug before it gets fixed?

A tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable. I grew up with farmers and I know the difference. And while tortoises and turtles are of the same family, they are not the same thing. I even know the difference between a terrapin and a tortoise, do you?

the more the merrier. and a final bump. maybe i should hand out some fine mallets, so non-priests can shatter things for good luck too.

It would also be good to get a date, a place, and to know that someone whom actually has experience in this sort of thing is in charge as well Who is supplying the sheets needed for saccing, and vesseled gems? Do you even know how AOE healing works? Are you aware that this dragon can hit 84 damage wounds through 92ql studded? Personally I dont see you as a trustworthy enough person to lead nor a knowlegable enough player Anyways GL

Ehemm ... this is on OUR deed, and WE have been dealing with that little terror since days, I don't think you have seen the dragon yourself at all. much less trying to survive his daily visits. The screenshot you posted came from Z, and was made from the top of our house ... so nice of you to ask us really ... /sarcasm Anyways if ppl gather, we can supply some cotton, and there are 3 altars on the deed, one for each god. There are 2 piers to moor the ships, and also we have some horses if anybody needs one. Edit: I'm not paying anybody anything .. that's all on Hashirama

Interesting concept but I have a few questions/comments: All you have to do is land a hit? and as soon as you land one hit you can get the same reward as someone that lands 50? a bit much on the priests, dont you think? Some meet point/start location would be nice, as well with a timer The auctioning part should be done by someone that is good at selling and is trustworthy someone needs to be next to the dragon but not fight (trustworthy) so we can get a complete battlelog without the possiblity of losing logs if the person is thrown away How will you send us silvers, through mail? who pays the COD? what if we get 30c each and 20c is COD?

im the voldemort lols

I'll look into it!

I'd like to know , if Rolf could narrow down a motivating factor in how or why Wurm online was conceived, what that was. I'd also like to know , going forward, what is his biggest driving passion about and for Wurm. side note. My first Born Foal on Xanadu has the name of Rolfrain. will he take on duties as godfather at it's christening and bestow gifts upon it regularly. hehhehe. it is strong willed,can change direction faster than a quarter horse, and has affinity in gaming(horseplay)

Thank you Lars. Your work for the Comunitie strengthens the bond between us and the wurm team. Very nice job and a cool interview! The dark GM model is very awesome, great work wox

Came close to it when you cut your hair like Miley Cyrus

Really? Xsyon? Darkfall? Ring any bells? Everything else is either still in early beta or vaporware. Hell even Rust's Devs have completely scrapped their codebase. Apparently they were trying to use the same codebase for two different games at once... seriously bad move. As they discovered it became an overwhelming mess. And Im talking true sandboxes superior to Wurm; although, Eve Online despite being based on a scifi genre, comes pretty close. Unfortunately they still haven't shaken off pre-generated recursive fetch-this-kill-that questing. Only thing Im aware of that even comes close (besides Minecraft) is possibly Sony's Everquest project, and the Landmark component is looking more along the lines an intricate modelling game (if it can be called a game persay). EDIT: Unfortunately getting offtrack from the OP... again given Rolf's previous statements and tendencies, its extremely unlikely anything making priests "easier" is going to make it in. Maybe something along the lines Gaeron has mentioned, since there has been limited changes to what each priest type can do. While still keeping everyone and his dog from being a priest. If a priest can do everything a normal char can do plus the additional abilities... why should everyone not be a priest?

Thanks! As metal-fan myself, I have anecdotal evidence that a lot of metal heads are also infact huge nerds. There's also alot of us in Sweden - you can't throw a boomerang in a crowded town-square without hitting at least 2 of us. Haha, I won't get that specific in this interview since it's mostly supposed to revolve about the individual. I'll try to get the "immediate plans"-question in there though. Sure they can! Just be sure to add "the minion" when you talk about me. "Apparently there's a movement amongst the paying playerbase to get me an extremely lucrative job here at CC... they say they will stop at nothing to get their wish, and that "virtual villages will burn" and that there will be "riots in the cobblestone-streets". Also it seems they would be really bummed out. So how about it? :D" Genius! I'll definitely ask him this.

Say NO To Smoking Turtles...

Iron Hammer 91.16QL Blessings of the Dark has been cast on it, so it will increase skill gained and speed with it when used. [91] It has been imbued with special abilities, and it improves weapon smithing max ql [76] Fyi it took 8 oil of weaponsmith (ws pot) to get it there. Which was more like a research for me and i 'd like to share it with you all. 51ql pot added 8 power 53ql pot added 9 power 63ql pot added 9 power 69ql pot added 9 power 70,70ql pot added 10 power 82,24ql pot added 10 power 84 ql pot added 10 power 93 ql pot added 11 power Please write down here or PM me your offers/thoughts

You're still missing the part about MR having free access to extra moon metal through something that can never be used by other kingdoms because it was changed immediatly.

ya its for 2 ppl to bid it out instead of a timer and last one in wins. pretty standard on any auction worth its weight in salt

I don't really know who complained, but my guess is that its probably from Chaos because we haven't used the Warhammer much on Epic. The issue, however, is the Hammer of Magranon is on two servers with different mechanics. On Epic, Body Strength doesn't play a large factor in applying damage where as on Chaos it does. Having high body strength on Chaos will result in more damage, but not so much on Epic because it was meant to make fights a bit longer and easier for new players to compete. So when you call something like the Hammer of Magranon overpowered you (developers/council) aren't looking at it on Epic as well, but you are changing it regardless. On Epic the Warhammer is about as strong as Large Maul. Could you possibly revert it to being one handed on Epic?

Not for the faint hearted.. turtle soup and others: http://www.budgethotels.sg/5-fear-factor-foods-to-try-in-singapore/ Yumm... I hasn't try turtle soup actually, I tried the others tho. In here we have term for the turtle and tortoise.. that is penyu for turtle, and kura-kura for tortoise. What I know of the difference is turtle have sort of fin instead proper legs. Kinda wonder that if teenage mutant ninja turtle is actually tortoise... Also I was used to the term sea turtle and land turtle instea tortoise for English lessons .

A wand of seas would be awesome! That is, if anyone had the opportunity to use them. As it stand now, terraforming events are an unintended bug. If they were available to all, and everyone knew the dangers volcanoes posed, I think they would be awesome additions to Chaos.

I don't need to see them to know that two massive smoking holes (that gives one kingdom two more sources of moonmetal) in the ground created by something that wasn't supposed to be here is bad, It's called thinking with your brain.

It will service those willing to work at it. I'm a casual gamer, and I don't allways have time to grind away myself, I'm also in the millitary and go away for long periods of time every year for training. I know I'd likely lose my apiarys during those times when I'm not active, especially under the system I crafted. I can hardly see that as self-serving. 40 carpentry isn't that hard to get. I had as much within the first month of my playing wurm, and that was just me building stuff. The limit on apiary construction is to encourage a tree of crafting and discovery, as you find wild beehives at the beginning of your exposure to the mechanic, gather the stuff you need to make an apiary, get your carpentry up to the point where you could actually maintain the hives, etc. It also encourages them to be a village effort, as you would need decent Cloth Tailor skills. If you want easymode there are plenty of games out there for that, and frankly Apiarist skill would be much easier to level than many existing skills, since all you really need to do when you have the equipment is wait at a timer, much like fishing. The trade-off is that you need to use your head when managing your colonies of bees, you need to think about placement, manage queen bloodlines, etc. Even then this is much less intensive and more engaging than many of the crafting skills when you are constantly imping, for hours on end, and you have to constantly be active, I have no idea what your complaining about. In any case the complexity of Wurm's world is what attracts many of the players here, and it deserves a decently thought-out system for beekeeping.

Close enough to buyout, I may as well do it. CoD as is to Tuanta for 15s

I doubt it will put much of a dent in Wurm. The majority of Wurm players are PvE players, but Life is Fuedal is PvP focused. Due to it being so pvp focused, and the ability to destroy everything another player has build, it's more of a griefing game. The ability to have private servers doesn't help either, I think that could actually work against it. It results in lots of servers with small populations, where the small group of established players is likely in control and can just grief/abuse the new players, as they are easy targets. How do you know which private server to join? The risk of having played for a few days on one and then losing all your stuff is quite real. Going through that a few times on multiple servers will kill the fun quickly enough. Frankly, from the moment I saw the combination of full destruction pvp (griefing) + private servers I wrote off this game. I doubt it can sustain a large stable community for long with such a setup. edit: Modding of course doesn't really help here either, how do you know that the server you are joining doesn't have some kind of mod which gives the established players an advantage because only they can use it? Private servers + modding is free haven for cheats for the server owner and his friends. Now I really have no more expectations of this game doing well.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another weekend of "can wurm compete?" Let the forum pvp begin!

I like the tower influence nerf the day after I had Valhalla surrounded in MR influence. This has been happening since wurm started, no use complaining now.

Maybe he will let you have a go at the oleander bush, lol
