dear friends and my old exo mates =) now its time to say goodbye because i am running my own dedicated server for german speaking players. also its the best time now to give away the exodus deed map service to a good and long playing WO player who like to continue my service for all you lovely exo players. if you like to create the exomap and if you are good with paint.net so i would give you all the graphic files with layers and hope you will do a good job for the exo players like i hope i have done it. sorry friends for my bad english, but i hope you can understand me, further i hope you all will become a good mapcreator for the next years....and dont forget......enjoy this awesome game and happy wurming your Eject

I just wanted to say thanks for your guys' help over the weekend. I see a lot of doom and gloom posts, but I really appreciate the game support you guys supplied regarding my issue. I purchased 10s from the wurm online store but it didn't show up in my bank for whatever reason. I used the proper channels and put in a support ticket as well as emailing. I knew I probably wouldn't get a resolution over the weekend, but I wasn't in a rush. A GM contacted me almost right away to let me know there would be a wait with a response since it was the weekend, and then this morning when I woke up (PST) I had an email from Rolf letting me know the situation was resolved. Unlike some games where I wait upwards of a week for support, this was quick and painless, and I appreciate that. Thank you. - Stephanie / Stargrace

Me doing that Halloween thing this year.

Place the Wurm Online section above the Wurm Unlimited section on the wurmonline.com forums please. (Back streets at least) Thanks.

This is the initial release of a client mod loader https://github.com/ago1024/WurmClientModLauncher/releases/latest Instructions * Unzip the contents of client-modlauncher-<version>.zip into the "WurmLauncher" folder * Unzip the contents of the individual mods you want to run into the "WurmLauncher" folder. This adds the required .properties files to enable the mods. * Run patcher.bat * Start Wurm from Steam The client-modlauncher-<version>.zip package includes the updated mods client-serverpacks and custommap as well. Changelog Check github for change logs.

While I was checking how to convert the creature mod to a loadable mod I noticed that it uses ids for the creatures and the new item which are very likely to collide with future official content. For example the hitching fence uses the next unused item template 1026 to create the fences. Once the smelting forge (or any other item) is introduced to the game they will likely receive number 1026 as well. I think the only way to avoid collisions with the official ids is to use ids starting at a high number (like Integer.MAX_INT where the datatype allows). To avoid collisions between mods a registry for the used template ids is required. My idea is a table in the serverdb which maps an unique text identifier to an id which is then available to the mod. The unique identifier should be choosen in a way that there are no collisions with other mods. One solution could be the username on the forum + the mod name + some internal identifier eg. absolutelynobody.creaturemod.zebra Another option is the use of GUIDs which should provide a good protection against collisions as well A mod would * check the server table for the identifier on startup and use the number stored there * If there is no entry for the identifier it would pick one below the lowest id in the table or Integer.MAX_INT if the table is empty * It will store an entry with the identifier and the id in the table This would give plenty of room for extensions for creatures, items and skills. Enchants are a different category since it only uses a byte for storage and 94 out of the 127 positive numbers are already used.

Yes, people have moved to WU, as expected. However, far more Wurm virgins are playing WU than WO veterans. WU is the single best marketing effort from Code Club... Ever. In the short term, we see WO thin out significantly. In the long run, we WILL see Rolf introduce new Code Club hosted WO servers, incorporating some of the best loved features of WU mods, as well as a new subscription model. Games today are very fast paced and played in short bursts of time. Very few people have time to dedicate hours a day to a game. Most are lucky to find a solid 30 min a day for a game. People want variety. They want all the content unlocked and available to play. You won't find one in 10,000 players that looks forward to a game that takes multiple years to reach the end game. If Rolf wants to capture the WU player base and revitalize WO, he will have to adapt. Does it mean the end of the old school servers? Only if the old school players bail out in favor of the new. What will new and improved WO look like? I'm going to guess a few things will happen: 1. New game account system - either a one time purchase for your alt on Steam, or if managed by CC, then one account with multi alts, but only a single monthly sub for them all. Probably 5 alts max. 2. Removing restrictions on priests/spells that prevent a solo character from casting the big spells. 3. 3x to 5x (more?) skill gains and action timers. 4. New map styles. 5. Free deeding and upkeep for subscribing players (with certain size limitations). 6. Removal of decay on EVERYTHING on deed. 7. A new option for deed holders: Pause growth... lets you keep your critters and crops from aging when you have to take a few days or weeks off. It is highly demotivating to spend half a day working on a big new crop and then return a week later to weeds. Not to mention the poor folks that take a few months off and see all their animals expire. Obviously, this is a feature you don't need if you share a deed with others that can maintain it for you, but many have solo deeds. I quit farming and breeding because of the losses and those are two fun parts of the game for me. 8. Fast travel to other servers. Slow travel makes people clump to the most populated server. If there was fast travel between, then you would not have that isolated feeling on the remote edge servers. For goodness sakes, magic does exist in the game. Let's put it to work! These new clusters of WO would have to be separate from "classic WO". Classic WO would thin out even more. No need to shut down the old stuff, as with fewer people and items, the server resources are minimal. Could run each server in a VM and all on a single hardware server quite easily. Heck, my 1million critter server is only eating 1.7GB of ram so far. Well, that is my prediction of the future.

This week, we set out to build a guard tower on our private WU server while we chat about all things Wurm! This is our one time a week we get to sit down and chat about these things with each other while playing the game we love. We talk about BSB decay removal, smelters, WU modding and custom servers and (my favorite) Nudging among other Wurmly things. A big thanks to Drakeling, who made all the mats for the tower and to Deathwind, without whom we would never have finished the guard tower in 1 episode! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReO-5Qt2X8k

While I was doing something else, I came up with this. Basically it adds a new tab in the server GUI that allows you to enable/disable and configure mods that use Ago's Mod Loader all from the server interface and not having to fiddle with files. Screenshots & Features: Requirements: Ago's Mod Loader Instructions: Extract the zip file to your mod folders Downloads: Github Changelog: 1.3 Added new data type: Choices. This allows dropdown menus with pre-defined values. Older changelogs: Info for developers:

dunno why people keep saying "just make a new character on chaos if you want to play there :-)" when the suggestion is pretty clear about wanting to put all players in one cluster and bring together all pvp players to one server, which would be done by shutting down epic completely and transferring the players with adjusted skill

hey now... I don't think he asked for general commentary. This is an auction, not a PC or town square post. If people like what they see, they bid. If not, the priest won't sell. It would be super nice to send a PM to the OP explaining your thoughts, rather than posting here. Just my 2 cents.

Dear Fo, if only people had some tiny sense of doing missions =/= winning the tome lottery. If only people who don't play the broken system understood effort gives no reward 98% of the time. I think the idea that it is easy to win is more annoying than the idea of deleting my skills and throwing me on chaos. Honestly, understand your points before trying to use them.

For me it is not so much a case of WO dying out, But more a case of getting frustrated to the point of ranting about the total lack of respect Rolf has for his customers and the total lack of communication about anything. Compare the news feeds to last year when RedBaron was writing the weekly news, Was always something in those news feeds to reassure the community that the Devs are working on items and had certain things planned for the future. All we get now is a few brief words and a weekly screenshot ^^.

Esteron Looks half complete with randomly colored buildings. I wish they would finally redo this and make it look a lot more appealing. (This is Esteron's actual token, not outside of it) It's not the most populated area I understand that but it couldn't hurt to update its appearance. I live nearby and have to see it every day. I don't mean to trash talk, but I would love to see this fixed . Please support me on this

Due to my inactivity, the active playerbase of Macedon has continued their recruitment thread here.

I have an idea I would like to implement on my server that would involve either the Trader or preferably the Personal Merchant. It would require a feature that does not currently exist but I am curious how difficult it would be to code it in. I would like to be able to place a personal merchant that not only sells but buys as well. The player would load the merchant with his own coins... specify specific items to buy from other players. So for example if I want to buy only gold lump from players. Specify for the merchant only to purchase Gold Lump... specify the minimum quality... and set the price I wish him to buy at. This would allow GMs and Players alike on servers to create passive quest/missions for the server. Example 1: GM places a Merchant somewhere on the map and puts 100 gold on him with settings to purchase Bear Furs that are 10 quality or higher for 1 gold each. This allows players to hunt bears and find the merchant to sell them to somewhere on the map. Example 2: Player places a Merchant in his deed and puts 100 gold on him with settings to purchase Stone Bricks that are 50 quality or higher for 1 silver each. This would encourage players to visit player settlements... look around for these type of merchants... find the quests... go out and get the items needed and return for the reward. This also allows the mayor of the settlement to aquire items he needs for his village or what have you. A sign could be placed beside the merchant explaining the items that are being looked for... or more preferably the merchant itself could put a message in chat when a player opens the trade window with him with a quick line of the details of the quest. So my question is is this possible to code and how difficult would it be?

Stream is now live. Hi all, we are streaming on twitch again at http://www.twitch.tv/avatar_of_sosaria We are re-creating to scale Britannia from Wurm Online, we are currently building Britain. We are at this moment working on Lord British's Castle. Stop by and say hello, or just watch for a few We are always willing to chat and answer any questions.

[16:22:03] A straight tool with a strong hard blade made for cutting stone. This is a very rare and interesting version of the item. It has an interesting aura. You will want to polish the stone chisel with a pelt before you improve it. [16:22:03] Blessings of the Dark has been cast on it, so it will increase skill gained and speed with it when used. [100] Starting Bid:10sIncrements:1sNo reserveBuyout:20sSnipe Protection: 2 Hours Item will be mailed from the Chaos server, so try not to have any issues with that.

It just hit me, devs should cross breed hellhorses and unicorns. Give them a cool skin with white flames, just make sure they are slightly faster then horses. You can thank me later.

hmm lets compare my postcount to yours in this thread. (i'll let you do it, because its your thread) Let me know what the results are (Just kidding you don't have to cause we already know). Asking for handouts never seemed so sweet to -1, sorry but you are gonna have to grind up and "get good" on chaos if you want to play there.

Ye and after that you get the slowdown in ticks due to your curved skill level, but then what would I know, kek

If you brand them, then the templars won't attack them anymore. Need to unhitch to brand, so do this while young/ado.

Didn't know you can pay for premium with two silver, and i'm pretty sure there are more players than there are alts, could be wrong. -> Yes, you buy premium for 10 silver > sell referral for 6 silver > you also get 2 silver for buying first time premium > so basically 10-8=2, for 2 silver you have a one month premium new toon. There are just as many unique +1s as there are -1s, if not more, and nearly all decisions are never made with 100% yes, sorry to burst your bubble. -> Wrong, the comments on the thread with -1 are far more than +1 and here is the proof lil prophy (i didn't even count Gaul or blackdeathdragon in the -1 list or anyone else even closely related to me because if i did you would cry a lot.) +1 people:Banzai, asdf, Propheteer,Huntar,Cornchips,noermel,bloodmaster,Egard,Carmichael,Olloch,Drastox,hemrzz,Quicktor,Josh,Karellean,Stik,MisterTeddy,Entendu,Mauros,Odynn,ownerpure5,necroe,revengo,Cayce,FireHeart,Nahjo,DOE,notre,Zekezor,Morrowen,IloveWurm,Omar,Nappy -1 people:ironbotnik8,redd,Rakki,Wulfgarr,JockII,tgod,Pashka,Lundu,Tuga,Erinyesthegreat,Meep,Hashirama,Jukimo,Edge,JakeRivers,Vroomfondel,madnezz,Brunwulf,whykillme,MrGARY,Mayrin,permo,_Teal_,Naio,Gildi,Mclovin,Puertorro,shankiest,Galatyn,Oats,Becket,Maximillian,DropDeadFred,Taltos,Herrfritz,Theplexx,SmeJack,raphvw,Namekat,Pidgeoni,Holeron,Trake,Druidnature,LorenaMontana,Alden If any of the names are left out please leme know on PM and I will correct the list. Let the poll run its course and please stop trolling my thread, thank you.->So all the players who have posted in this thread so far are the actual players who have voted on the poll. I wouldn't consider the votes on the poll as fair estimate because anyone can make dozen forum alts and do the voting. So all the people who have posted here along with commenting have -1 as a majority on the poll. Hence you are wrong, -1 votes are more compared to +1 votes (in regards of commenting which is the fairest way to check). Even if you add up the count of all the people who did -1 and +1, still the sum is not equal to the players who live on epic and who will be AFFECTED BECAUSE HEY THEIR CLUSTER WILL BE WIPED NA? The fake poll is running it's course and I think the only fair estimate here is the people who are commenting ( i didn't count people like chaosferret2,changer who might be forum alts). Now one thing I would like to point out is that Banzai did +1 three times so far, and if you consider that as 3 positive votes then I don't know what to say... Another thing is that people saying the same things over and over again like Banzai, Josh, etc. and yet you call me the person trolling or the one saying same stuff over and over again on this thread. Anyways the summary of the thread can be seen from the list I provided. The amount of unique -1 votes are more than unique +1. That is all, you can close this thread now.

Sorry to see you go. I offered a while back, I could take over.

im confused, if so many epic players want to play on chaos, why not either create a chaos character, or, sell your epic account and buy a chaos account? also, more people voted on this poll in 2 days on the suggestions board (where only chaos and epic player's opinions should matter) than people voted on this poll in 2 months on the main forum board: http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/130805-lets-go-then-predict-the-dec-1-premium-player-count/ if you're trying to fool rolf into thinking players want something, vote with a few less alt forum accounts lol.

A nice bunch of folks, best of luck, boys.

If you have not got that imped yet I should be able to do it for ya Free of charge. Just pay cod both ways.

lead the cow not the bull i guess would help

Positive feedback and constructive criticism always welcome in these threads

How about... We just attatch elevations northern border to chaos? Like... For real. People who like doing scenarios, valrei effects and stuff can continue doing that. Freedomers continue being freedomers. Home server peeps continue chillin on their home servers. Chaos and Epics kingdoms whack eachother as much as they want.

I am completely fed up with the minimum 80 above water level - my deed and area does not suit this requirement, meaning that to avoid it, I have to make lots of shorter bridges - most annoying. Would still like to know the maximum length of a flat stone bridge, starting 40 above water, which is more than enough for bridges to pass under - surely ! ? ? !

Maybe it's time you go outside.

please keep opening topics like that guys, so the new players who want to try this game turn back after a quick look at the forums

Double the ore just isn't enough. It needs to fit 100 ore. Which still doesn't take into account the nesting that could be done but 100 ore would make me a happy smither.

Gnomes Mined Heritage Tunnel The reality of who actually mined out Pingpong's Folly, a huge tunnel to the north sea has finally come to light. For years Pingpong claimed it was him along with a "few helpers" who picked away at the rock all that time. Today, the Wunion has learned who these "helpers" really were. Going on a rumour overheard at the Large Rat Inn, the Wunion team headed out to investigate. Here's what they discovered. Many moon ago, an anonymous traveler, hopelessly lost somewhere in the northern region of Independence was riding along what he thought was a main road. Suddenly, to his shock and awe, he witnessed a group of miniature beings walking into what is now known as "Pingpong's Folly". While hiding behind a tree...he scrambled for his backpack and pulled out a piece of papyrus and some dyes, then quickly sketched a drawing of what he saw. We at the Wunion have hunted down that traveler and purchased the drawing for you to view. The Wunion would now like to put to rest any myths that may be involved in regard to the Garden Gnomes. They are in fact Pingpongs mining army. Edit: pic went missing, re-upped it

Personally I don't feel like WO is dying. I've been playing for roughly 5 months, which isn't nearly as long as many of you I realize but the first 3-4 months of playing I very rarely ran into other players. Even with exploring I probably came across 3 that were in or around my area. Since WU came out I have noticed far more people on WO, not only looking around exploring but many settling down making their own deeds. We now have a fairly nice sized alliance with people that play daily.

Thanks for choosing us We are happy to welcome you.

This, proph in a nutshell.

musical instruments ?

mmmmm fresh meat, goodluck!

No deadline, I'm in no rush deed project been going 2 years already .. solo deed project this big you can't be in a hurry or you burn out, if you can guarantee 150k dirt the whole job is yours, no deadline, just as you collect it, I'll take it I'd rather deal with 1 entity anyway rather than find it in 10k dribs and drabs Thanks, Unk

not to interrupt your chat, but wanted to say "great job"!!! This looks fantastic in your screen shots and can't wait to try it out.

I think it would be interesting to have a clear statement on the point of chaos. Is it to rule the most land? If so, it seems like it's working, though I think some catch-up mechanics better than what we have would be welcome and some of these suggestions are great in that regard. But if it's purpose is to promote pvp, then it's failing miserably and many of these suggestions, and ones like proph's, need to happen.

CodeClub AB has had a very long and tenuous history of spreading it's fanbase far too thin. Xanadu was a clear cut case of it, and unfortunately - despite Wurm Unlimited's success, it too will serve as yet another method to split the fanbase. Unfortunately, improving and fixing things just isn't glamorous. Sometimes it can be wrought with hate and spite, such as the Fountain Pan compromise. - This is why working on new projects is so enticing for developers. Especially lucrative ones like Wurm Unlimited... I know this isn't what you want to hear, but the end result is going to be pretty clear. Either Exodus, Celebration, Pristine and Release are going to be closed completely or they're going to be abandoned. Pretty much what we predicted back when Xanadu was first announced. It won't happen overnight, but the writing is pretty clearly on the wall. Despite Rolf outright stating that he won't close the servers, it won't stop the tide of migration. Ironically, it won't be long until players start asking for the death-knell closure of the aforementioned servers. Psychology is a fun subject. It's actually a very important subject to read up on as a game designer. Just saying. Proven solutions for this problem do exist, but they're difficult, unpopular, and would likely result in severe short term backlash. This is a quagmire that can't be solved overnight.

+1 for reimbursment. absolute crap. we already need to warn people to do silly things like not stand on tile corners when making a tunnel, or to not climb near a stone wall at the bottom of the tile, because these things can lead to instant death. when deaths like this happen they should 100% be taken care of by GM's

Disaster! Last week an enormous explosion occurred somewhere around the South-West region of Celebration. Hours after the blast, aftershocks could still be felt for some miles away, frightening most of the citizens who thought Wurmagedden had arrived. Even now smoke is billowing into the sky from a landmass in the area affectionately known as "The Dark Island". Buildings there seem to have been completely obliterated, yet the wildlife remains unharmed. The cause of the explosion is being investigated by authourities... however, the Wunion has gotten to the bottom of the story. It just so happens the luxury caravel "Carlotta" was cruising by the island at the moment the explosion began. Passengers on deck said they witnessed two people there who appeared to be arguing about something. One of which, Fatboy, who's tremendous eating exploits are known world wide, was visiting the island. The other person was renowned cheese alchemist, Docterchese, whose experiments border on the insane. Moments after the two parted ways, the massive eruption occurred. Debris from the blast splattered the ship as it passed. We visited the port where the caravel was docked and got a sample of the "gunk" so we could have it analyzed by a specialist. The report, bizarre as it seems, claims it's mostly a combination of woad, cheese, coal, and belladonna, with a few other unknown ingredients blended in. This asks the question... Has Docterchese come up with a secret recipe for a new explosive blue cheese? What other crazy experiments are happening on this island? And finally, how does this product taste on a cracker?
