Rub-a-dub-dub Tiba, Gary and Namekat sail in a tub. [18:57:13] Zajman slain by Namekat Tiba Gary

So disloyal players who quit get more than loyal players who stay? That is a nice ###### you towards all your customers who keep their prems up.

I started playing towards the end of the last Beta map (I must have been about 12 at the time.) but my HP Pavilion PC couldn't run Wurm for more than 10mins at a time before crashing. So I couldn't really get into it very well, but my RL best friend - Dilzi was obsessed with Wurm so I always ended up struggling through the crashes just to derp about with him. When G1 happened we ended up settling near Lionshead and noobed around for the majority of the existence of the map without a deed. I can still remember vividly the achievement of making our first forge together and finding iron in our mine and fortunately I still have a couple of screenies of these days. Inbetween convos on MSN and school we would plan what we'd like to build and draw on draw paper plans for deeds that we could never hope to afford (A size 10 village back then cost 1g up front). We made two 1x1 wooden shacks in a valley by the lake only a couple of mins walk from our Iron mine. This was all "pre fight fix" which meant that we struggle to kill anything other than rats or chickens which meant we often had to forage for our food and lived off casseroles. One of the greatest ongoing sagas we had was our attempt to build a guard tower between our two shacks to try and fend off the copious amounts of things that wanted to eat our faces off. We ever slowly chipped away at making it for seemingly months until our existence with our hovels was abruptly cut short when a brown bear found it's way to us and killed us both. We both rage quit for a couple of days and eventually decided to spend our pocket money on buying a size 5 village together (25s iirc back then). Unfortunately for us not long after that the great Wurmageddon happened and we got plonked down on the server known as JK-H. Looking back on that first year or so of playing Wurm things were so treacherous and yet felt so simple. Every thing built felt like a major achievement and playing with my best mate every day are honestly my fondes memories of Wurm. I'm 24 now going on 25 which I guess means I've been playing Wurm for around 12 years which is just crazy to me to think about. Honestly in my time playing Wurm I've met many many amazing people and have forge friendships that have literally taken me around the world. I consider myself very lucky to have been able to enjoy (and sometimes hate) every second of the great rollercoaster that is Wurm.

I have always admired Rolf's determination and perseverance for keeping the game running and progressing, now for 10 years, in spite of all the flack that he receives from players (myself included at times). Then when I see a picture of him with a contented smile on his face I am reassured that he still rises above the fray and continues to enjoy what he is doing in developing the game. Quite and achievement really when you think about it. =Ayes=

We gave him nothing to update you on. Sorry mate. I'm sure you'll copy and paste back next week.

The Onion King Dreams

Another week has passed, meaning a weekend of Wurming, and better yet, the weekly news! Patch notes: Rifts. Well, take two of the rifts went much better, with them all being closed quite quickly. We’ve continued to listen to feedback and are currently looking at scaling the amount of creatures spawning according to local, meaning more people, more challenge! Fit for a king This week saw the updated graphics for crowns released! No longer will our kings be asked for “whoppers with cheese” and instead will just be asked “why aren't you wearing a jacket?” Rest assured, Saroman has been working on this and we will have them come as soon as they are finished. Birthdays! Wurm turns 10! This monday will mark the 10 year anniversary for Wurm Online going gold, and what a decade its been. Due to the timing of it being a monday, we’ve planned some events for the following weekend, to ensure that everyone can attend, we’ll have more on those in next weeks news! Events will be organised to occur on several servers, hopefully as many as we can fit in, and maybe even some crafting comps! Every premium account will receive an anniversary gift box, as well as the returning player packs for those with over 14 days playtime and purchase premium time! (Clarification: player must be non premium and over 14 days playtime at time of purchase) The returners pack consists of an extra anniversary gift box, a toolbox containing a random tin tool, and the special returners mask! Community Content This weeks community content I want from you! Share your favourite experience in wurm, or favourite screenshot, whether its the time you stumbled across a wonderful view, or pvp experiences, let's hear them all! that's it for now, I've been a busy bee working on some huge plans for events, I hope you like trolls! Retrograde & the Wurm team.

I am sorry for me coming and posting here, if you are not happy, just remove it please. No, I have nothing to do with that guy and I was lucky enough not to deal with him in game, RL, etc. I will try not to be too rude here. There are two facts: a) Your Wurm items were bought. b ) Your cash is missing. Why do you care if he is a girl, boy, dad, stolen cc, footballer, president or anybody else? Why do you care if something bad, good, strange, illegal, etc. happen? Maybe if you would look into the facts and problem itself, instead of playing good detectives, case was long gone... If a bus driver shouts at you, do you start thinking if he had a bad day, maybe his wife was rude to him or his kid got bad grade. You only know the fact - driver was rude, thats it. Less drama in life, more problems solved, greater well -being. Good luck in your case/s.

Hello It's a trap! But still, topic is about holding the door. In thise case holding the door OPENED. How many times you pushed something through the door and get info: "stone door is in the way". Then you have to go on other side and pull it. And need to do that on each door. How many times you need to go into permissions and set up everything to just let someone in your house for a while (trader/buyer/friend). If this is only one door then ok, but sometimes you must open at least few doors/buildings. Fear no more! Our beloved developers gonna (hopefully) implement fantastic option in the doors/gates menu - HOLD. You click HOLD and doors stay opened and behave like arched wall (so you can reach/push through freely) for 1 minute (for example), also looking as opened. After that time they automatically go back to normal state and look. Or you can clisk RELEASE earlier, if some pesky thief want to slip through, while you pushing those heavy forges through the door! Of course it would be set in permissions, who can earn a privilage to HOLD THE DOOR. HODOR

On chaos many years ago, we asked another hots deed to join the alliance. I think the guys name was Rugg he asked for us to go over to make it final, the guy only spoke in orkish or whatever strange wow language he was using, but he expected us to do the same which was a laugh in itself. three of us turn up and he asks us to line up, so we gather round his little camp fire at his deed, then he explains one of us needs to be sacrificed to make the deal final. so myself, Daolin and Becca is standing there and Becca got chosen, so the expected happened and we had to kill her lol.. We gave Rugg the body and he goes and cooks her into a nice meal, and we sit and fill up our food bar while rejoicing our new village in alliance. wish i had the chat was hilarious and never seen anything like it since.

I think Gary might be close to 90 by now

Wow. The withholding of virtual toys is now being compared to killing people regularly... I recognize the possessiveness that this game promotes, and I remember MMO times in the past where having to claim every special holiday gift was a stressful chore; I am grateful that I have reached a point where I am not concerned with having all the things, and they're still going to give me something anyway. I am proud to see this 10-year mark for Wurm, and I wish for the success to continue even though they didn't give me extra surprise free stuff.

I've played since October 2011 (coming up on 5 years now) and I think my best memories were still of starting out as a nublet. Everything was so simple, but so hard; trying to survive with 1.0 FS... I have many fond memories of luring mobs away from my noobhut and of the many, many long walks from Esert (Exo starter deed, where I respawned at many, many times) all the way back to the north of the server where I lived. Oh yeah, and because I settled in the fog, I didn't notice that I had made my new hut about 40-50 tiles from the Red Dragon... he normally was polite and didn't cause any issues, but he came down from his little mountain once and attacked a local deed. I hid in a mine for over an hour. I feel like I've met so many people along the way. It's sad to see many of them not play anymore, but I'm still in touch with a few people who incidentally are really good friends. Doing stuff on the staff team was also kinda like a "Wurm expansion pack" as well... A few obligatory screenies from my last just under 5 years of wonderful memories of this game:

My childhood hero, Cassius Clay. Rest well old fighter!

Wurm has come far in 10 years. The fact its survived as an MMO for so long is an achievement on a level of its own. Some AAA/bigger MMOs don't even last half that time. Here's to more years of Wurm.

CC you guys need to not treat this as if it is minor. I just wiped 4 months of progress of several players who played on my server it is gone do to malformed and high corrupted database's. When I even looked to do a rollback I had found out this issue was all the way back from the dang launch of the server so there was no database with out errors cause because of incompetent coding and laziness you all pushed a client to the public with no testing what so ever and after months issues where posted yet we saw no fix months further down the road still no fix. I'm about to post some database pics of a fresh rebuild after 1 hr can you point out some thing wrong cause I sure can and I watched some of this happen from the log screen. I hate to say this but Rolf I support you but if you don't fix this dam problem and continue to say WO is main priority with a dam bug like this in the stand alone which is major I think you should give everyone a dam refund until you and your team can figure out how to fix it. There is nothing more dam disappointing than to work hard for months only to have one day your database fly off the handle with malformed data so bad. You system is not saving info properly and throwing info in places it should not belong. The pics I'm about to show is not what happen to my server over 4 months of time but just a few hrs after a complete rebuild. My word to other server owners look at your database a little closer I can bank on it you all have corrupted data in multiple databases. This is just a few screen shots I need not show any more. My server had over 80 thousand items with 60 thousand having no player owner id when they should have based on the item. I've seen players with model names in wrong table missing ids no x,y,z cords null wurm ids null template ids This is not acceptable. I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself team at CC, fix this asap or from this point on I will no longer have anything good to say about your product and service.

Rest easy Muhammad Ali!

Now that Wurm celebrates it's 10th birthday I have been pondering what were my best moments during the three years I played... It's hard to choose, there has been so many great or beautiful moments! It is probably when I got my first animal or when I was gifted a MR wagon on the day they came out and I had gotten some horrible personal news in rl. Or when someone I admired suddenly started talking with me like we were friends. Or when I went to my first hunt as a healer. There has been so many moments, I wont tell all mine, I wanna hear about yours! What were your best moments?

the pendelton derby impalong just, like, the whole thing

I moved again about 2 months ago so I'm still in the process of setting up my new games room. But here's my setup

There is a way. Ask in freedom chat for a priest to convert you. If 50c for a sailboat. and maybe a set of studded leather to protect you from monsters in the wild and a rope to lead a wild horse is just too much of a burden to bear for you to strip down and come to Chaos for a conversion, than continue spamming in freedom chat looking for one. This doesn't make you a "PvEer" this makes you lazy.

Wtf is wrong with you people, instead defending idea with abstract facts can you just look at current state.Fact is that returning player has twice the chance for pale mask, plummed helm, etc plus tin tool. And spyglass as countercontribution for that along regular players is silly(for being regularnog didnt get anything useful besides that, wont count sleep powder as everyone is getting them monthly). Also there is also division of sheer luck among regular players, those who has fortune of buying regular prem 2 months ago now can still make the flag unlike me whos regular reprem time was 1 month ago. And you are trying to convince me that that is fair and ok? His game, he can make whatever moves he want, But people telling me something is common practice, and convincing me that i shouldnt feel angry about it, and telling me that i'm not in worse position when i actually am considering actual outcome, those make posting futile -.- And this is not only about me, if i had the chance to catch the flag by luck would still support those who didnt and thought it's unfair

The flag went live on the 24th of may, so you might still be in! And yes, the 5 silver is included, apologies for forgetting it! As for PvP updates, I intend on focusing on it once we have the current development tasks out of the way, as I said back then, Rifts, the new client and the anniversary were the immediate tasks, with combat balancing and reworking coming after.

Add in stationary wooden cranes to bring crates and other large objects up to higher floors in buildings. Could also be used from the ground at docks/ports, to load/unload crates and objects to boats. By adding a crane system players will be able to work on multistory buildings with more ease since its time consuming to bring materials to higher floors. Also, being able to load objects on to large boats can be difficult at times. Crates may be just out of view of the boat or they may be to far from the commander of the boat. Adding in a crane to load cargo on to boats, would allow players to more easily see the items needed to be loaded. This could also be used to move multiple objects at once, such as 4-5 crates. The crane would add another use for ropes and the Ropemaking skill. The crane could require a high Fine Carpentry skill to be created and then a certain Body Strength would be needed to use the crane.

Very nice Yaga to see your and friends boat tunnel granted this Heritage status. May it remain such until the last leaves fall upon our fair lands of Deliverance, turning the dust of dreams into reality. =Ayes=

As Retrograde said, please do test the unstable client at least to see if it works for you at this point. You don't need to be using it all the time, just enough to see if it works or doesn't work. We're at the point now of testing all the different hardware configurations and getting it working for everybody, so if we tick off everything and push it live when you haven't tested it on your machine, there is a possibility of it not working at all. It may be a small possibility, but the only way we can make sure it works for you is if you test it now and let us know if it doesn't work (with details and crash logs etc). This is directed at everyone who hasn't tested it yet. PLEASE test it, this is your chance to make sure the game will actually still run for you once we switch it over to live.

Yes I saw that while I have the table in excel and I'm like HM odd. Also it has opulence being available incorrectly for Nathan which I'm sure was an error with adding columns for additional gods, but as a result I'm doing a full audit of the table. About halfway done so far.

I get the idea, an incentive to PVP. But as has been pointed out, it would only encourage grinding on a PVP server. How about this as a PVP incentive. For each PVP battle you are given PVP bonus minutes. They work the same as sleep bonus, and can only be earned with true PVP (i.e. you must battle another player). Give the same 5 hour limit to earn them. But working on making PVP more interesting would be an even better idea.

i love it when people say epic is double skill gain

What's the incentive to pvp? It's more of an incentive to sit on a deed and grind. -1

Do not forget the treasure hunt is still up and running I added an additional hint to the first clue, maybe will make it easier to figure out (All clues, except the first one, are placed off deed; clues can refer to deeds, buildings, structures, statues, (re)-named objects etc.; most are very obvious, all you have to do is to pay attention to your surroundings.) The prize is worth a few silvers, stop being lazy, people, Wurm is beautiful, exciting, all you have to do is move from your forge/altar/farm and go out a bit, both for the fresh air and to keep you in shape

Small update, we have received Heritage status, and we will make the entrances highly visible in the near future. Pictures to follow.

Thread has said what needs to be said. It's derailed from the original intention. No more needs posted so it is now locked. Luvable Board Moderator

Chillax. This is a standard marketing method for bringing back customers. Do you have Cable TV? Do you have a cell phone? Do you shop at stores? All have special incentive programs, designed to lure customers back, in the hopes of retaining them as regular, repeat clients. These incentives are always better than what you get as an existing customer. Why? Well, because you don't need the same kind of incentive to keep you here, because you are already here. Generally, these marketing campaigns will only send notice to the target audience, rather than here, where all Wurm players see it. However, since most existing players also have a few characters they don't play anymore, it makes sense to let everyone know. So if you are one of those people that only have a single character, it may feel like you are getting the short end of the stick. But you aren't. Not only is Wurm giving incentive to former prem characters, but they are ALSO giving rewards to existing premium players. This goes above and beyond what most similar marketing campaigns will do. We are fortunate!! We are not entitled to get every possible gift Rolf has to offer. Be happy with the ones he chose to give to you and don't be mad you didn't get what someone else was given.

you know the kid in Walmart that is always crying and pointing at things on the shelf? Code Club is the mom pushing the cart and ignoring the crying, putting vegetables and laundry soap in the cart, instead of the tele tubbies the kid is pointing at.

Post a pic of your gaming setup here I'll start this off with mine. It's a pretty basic desktop-laptop combination. A cup of coffee on the table of course, and a Donald Duck on the arm rest for all those boring grind days

No rare roll for days, but go outside and chop one tree and boom!

-1 I like what Polar is trying to do, but given the different play styles of on-server non-PvP supporters (priests, batteries, crafting alts, etc) there's no way to implement this, make everyone on Chaos benefit AND promote PvP.

Great! Even more work to do. *puts project to the endless list of projects*

November 29th - 30th, fight for the bugged artifact Logging started at Nov 30, 2007 [06:52:00] <Riceandbeans> Riceandbeans is near IS [06:52:10] <Riceandbeans> ahs a shovel tho [06:52:12] <Riceandbeans> has* [06:52:40] <Riceandbeans> how far out in the water? [06:55:02] <Riceandbeans> Huntar? [06:58:30] <Riceandbeans> HUNTAR! [06:59:50] <Huntar> im back [06:59:56] <Riceandbeans> wb [07:00:01] <Riceandbeans> how far in the water? [07:00:01] <Huntar> im staying home, managed to get sick fast [07:00:03] <Riceandbeans> im nearly there [07:00:07] <Riceandbeans> lol sweet [07:00:10] <Riceandbeans> get ur ass here I was, and always have been the adventuring type. My time on Wurm has primarily always been scavenging, adventuring, wandering around unrecognized plateaus and forests. That need for adventure however got the best of both kingdoms one day, multiple hour-long skirmishes where the only retreat was a single tower beside what was known as the LO land bridge. [06:46:21] <Huntar> i suicided back to vallhalla thinking i could suicde back with a shovel [06:46:21] <Mendoza> and how is the orb there, wasn't it at LO? [06:46:32] <Huntar> someone died or dropped it WE DONT KNOW [06:46:34] <Mendoza> crap a shovel n run back [06:46:38] <Mendoza> grab* [06:46:46] <Huntar> i dont have time! [06:46:48] <Mendoza> ask loke for 1 [06:46:54] <Mendoza> what area is it in? [06:46:57] <Huntar> ive got to go in 10 minutes [06:46:58] <Mendoza> like general area [06:47:00] <Mendoza> i will get it [06:47:03] <Huntar> LO BRIDGE [06:47:11] <Mendoza> where bouts at LO Bridge? WL side? [06:47:17] <Mendoza> on the bridge? [06:47:29] <Huntar> out in the ocean neara tower November 29th, at around 9pm at night I had discovered what appeared to be the orb of doom (Though was actually the gold charm of fo, none of has knew what the orb or charm looked like) north of the LO land bridge, of course I had school the next day, which I had skipped because I was 15 and reckless. I didn't care. I had adrenaline moving through me the entire night, I could barely sleep with the artifact on my mind, the artifact which was primarily an incorporeal object in space (aka a bugged entity that could not be touched nor moved). Though this wasn't clear to us till our call to the GM was heard, and by that time, on the 30th, it was much too late for any assistance as both sides at spent the majority of that next day battling over the untouchable artifact. [07:32:11] <Riceandbeans> guys [07:32:15] <Riceandbeans> it says Gold Charm of Fo? [07:32:17] <Huntar> yez? [07:32:22] <Huntar> wyut [07:32:23] <Madt> what? [07:32:27] <Riceandbeans> yea... [07:32:29] <Riceandbeans> it says it [07:32:35] <Riceandbeans> for a second [07:32:36] <Madt> where? [07:33:00] <Huntar> looks more like n orb of doom =/ [07:22:44] <Madt> Maybe if rolf quickly deleted the old model and it came up with the bag model we could get it? [07:22:56] <Huntar> and as far as i know, you cant drop items on artifacts [07:22:59] <Riceandbeans> prolly would [07:23:14] <Oracle> last thing i saw like that dissapeared on update [07:23:21] <Madt> We cant drop anything i think due to the model [07:23:33] <Madt> the server cant take the stress or something liek that [07:23:38] <Huntar> so its just a bug? D: [07:23:45] <Oracle> i think so [07:23:53] <Riceandbeans> its not really there then? [07:24:01] <Madt> it has to be [07:24:02] <Oracle> thats an option [07:24:11] <Riceandbeans> =/ [07:24:18] <Oracle> its not reconised by the server [07:24:31] <Madt> client sees it, server dont? [07:24:34] <Oracle> or client [07:24:38] <Wolfram> I once had a problem with a cow that could not be interacted with. took weeks for rolf to fix it [07:24:38] <Madt> ah [07:24:44] <Riceandbeans> is the test client still up? [07:24:46] <Huntar> yay we fought fuel for nothing :V [07:24:58] <Madt> this same sort of problem occured with the forest giant [07:25:09] <Madt> its model was bugged and you couldnt mouse over it [07:25:17] <Riceandbeans> u can put ur cursor over it but it has no outline [07:25:20] <Oracle> well arti's dont just lay on the ground Oracle heard our calls, much dirt was dumped, lava was spilled, many GM powers were cast upon the charm in attempts to remove it, all of which failed. Our fights had meant nothing, I skipped school to not gain, but to lose my gear in what was one of the first skirmishes of the day. And with all the power and struggles the server had put out over a single little artifact, the bugged charm of fo remained. Unmoved and untouched by all forms and manner of GM power.

many good times in my 4 years.. from 7 traders deeds on exodus, and miles of highways made, from Chaos and Speedy. Best moments for me was when i host 3 days impalong at Glasshollow Market and MR members brings like 10 or more Hota Statues For Winers and Market decorations and all of that Hota are still there. I was never told for sure if they will ever come to market i just ask for donation and get suprissed... Many bad moments in wurm, From time i sold all my items and deeds on exodus and quit for 3 months. I remember one moment i sold Glasshollow market and Rockybalboa... was hard aswell.... Today is new start another deed new miles All glory to MR Chaos and all ppl i trade with and never claim case

Don't swim alone at the sea. Join the Horde!

people use forums, because there is NOTHING in game that even tries to mimic what the forums does. Does anyone else not see this as a failure? The closest thing you can list services on is a sign or statue. However these are limited by quality, and are only as good as the view range.

you can turn it off your self.. Open ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Wurm Unlimited\WurmLauncher\packs\graphics.jar in a archive program, WinZip or WinRar, (DO NOT UNPACK/EXTRACT). locate mappings.txt, double click on it, this will open it in a text editor. find model.creature.quadraped.wolf.black = creatures/worg/TheWorg_main.wom replace with model.creature.quadraped.wolf.black = creatures/wolf/Wolf_main_bp.wom Save and exit. Archive program will ask you if you want to update, do it.

Sorry but I don't think this is obvious at all. The god of Wurm has a habit of pushing things into the game before they have found to be working effectively. This is history and maybe you have not been around long enough to experience its consistency. That aside, I never use the Unstable Client and am not about to now to test this system. From the comments made within this thread I am glad that I am not using Unstable, as I have always waited for the Developers to do their job effectively before releasing it to the Stable main client. As long as this system is kept on the Unstable Client I have no problem with it and will depend upon the comments of the more daring players who venture there for a preview of what is hoped to be worked out effectively. tldr? Yea, keep it on Unstable until perfected. =Ayes=

Can you please CoD Iron Sickle 76 CoC for 65 Copper. To Jessnoises

They match the descriptions that have existed in game forever. MR "[22:57:05] A simple yet stunningly fashionable silver circlet. It belongs to the Empire of Mol Rehan." I think lore-wise Rolf had JK be the "big grand kingdom" and MR as a grouping of lords/families that seceded from JK. BL's thorn robes and cage crown seem to go by a theme of "you shouldn't be comfortable wearing these".
