    Happy Halloween, Wurmians! We on the Wurm team hope you’re gearing up for your spooky fall festivities. Here on the team, we’ve been hard at work to make this Halloween a thrill for all. Tricks! We asked the creatures of Wurm what they’d like to dress up as this Halloween. Unfortunately, none of them spoke English, so we decided for them. Keep an eye out for all sorts of spooky trick-or-treaters masquerading about on your adventures. Will you find the goblins dressed as Aliens? Or the troll Princesses? Maybe if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a delicious Candycorn! And Treats! That’s not all, however. The pumpkin shoulderpads and troll masks are back and will soon be joined by this year’s new Halloween treats. Be sure to go hunting for your chance to find the human skull mask and the witch’s hat. Expect to see these go live after the next update in the next day or so--just in time for Halloween! That’s all for now, folks! Have a safe and happy Halloween. Eat lots of candy, scare all your friends, and keep on Wurming! - Joelle & The Wurm Team

    Zoranah@StarsHollow and I will be hosting the slaying Friday. Slaying the Kyklops will give the title "Giantslayer". *Also, when slain, every premium player in local will receive blood. Mixing Kyklops blood with source salt will create a potion of leatherworking. Loot will be rolled to slayers from the list abstracted from Niarja. Coast is in local ! Follow the red pointed signs to slay once docked.

    Currently, "decoration" items don't take damage on deed. This applies to statues, chests, barrels, and anything else that doesn't form a pile on the ground. However, they are only exempt from decay when actually on the ground. For example, an amphora in an amphora rack will take decay damage, as will a barrel or amphora placed on an empty shelf. I consider this problematic in a couple ways: It's counterintuitive. You would expect a barrel to take the same decay on-deed whether it's inside another container or not, especially when simply placed on a table. I wasn't even aware of the difference myself until it was clarified to me by the developers. It unnecessarily discourages the use of decorative and convenience features, such as amphora/small barrel/crate racks and the new ability to place decorations on top of other objects. I'm all ears, but I honestly don't see why this would cause a problem, and it would alleviate some confusion.

    Given the other issues you mentioned, and those you didn't mention such as the User Interface that (apparently) people have trouble with: How would advertising help at the moment? Not being facetious, would love to hear your thoughts. My thoughts... a vast majority of today's players won't love it. Say you get 5 people out of 100 who get Wurm after trying it out. I mean they get it like those of us that love it. Great to have 5 new people, absolutely, but that leaves 95 to go forth and spread trash about it all over the place. Suddenly, your advertising campaign that hit 3 or 4 sites is completely overshadowed by dozens of sites filled by the opinions of 95 poor souls that just don't get it. Advertising could work if insanely targeted (maybe)... and gaming sites aren't the place to go. IMHO, websites geared towards medieval LARPING, or medieval weapon enthusiasts. That sort of thing where the content is the lure. The number 1 issue here is the top-heavy characters never go away. They get sold, and kept in-game in perpetuity. Where, normally, a player wanting to quit or taking a break opens up a vacuum to be filled by up and coming players, that simply doesn't happen in Wurm (Online). Suggesting an end to this practice would unleash far more vitriol than I have patience for. WTB, money. There was talk of an online shop of some sorts at some point by some one. It would surely be a worthy discussion and an interesting one, but without providing viable alternatives for financial solvency... what do you suppose they ought to do? Wurm Unlimited has served to address a number of the issues you've raised. It's quietly marketed through Steam. It has a one-time-fee pricing model. Having many independent servers leaves room for players wanting to move up, and far as I know accounts aren't sold. I do see a small but steady stream of new-to-wurm players choosing to continue playing on the server I enjoy. Happy to talk about the reasons I believe that is the case if anyone is interested. ************************************************************* One common refrain in ppl complaining about Wurm has been the eye-candy factor. Many people have mentioned the graphics as an issue for them, and the new rendering engine certainly looks to me like it is helping in that regard. That's going to affect how the new UI looks, I presume, so that will eventually be another big step towards wider acceptance. Will today's players have the patience to sit and watch timers go by? Will the have the perseverance to endure successive "fails"? What about the combat system? There are big-ticket items to consider before inviting thousands of mini-critics to the party, imho.

    Hello I've noticed that I cannot design like this any longer: There are two bridges on the sides of the mine door. Clearance between bridges and ground is ok but game just won't allow to build bridges next to the side of mine door just by default. The same the other way, with opening a mine door between bridges. I understand that probably game protect ground on the side of the bridge against auto-flattening a mine entrance border when opening a mine door. I think that in cases where mine entrance border is already flat, it should be allowed to build bridges on sides or opening an entrance between the bridges.

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN! To celebrate Halloween twenty eighteen (hah, it rhymes!) We’ve added the cool witches hat and skull mask to loot drops from mobs! The witches hat can be found on any hunter-type creature, and the skull mask can be found on goblins and trolls. A list of hunter-type creatures can be found on the Wurmpedia. Last years Halloween items are still possible to be gained, just at a reduced rate compared to the modern ones. Bug Fixes: Fixed bug causing archaeology reports to be updated in the wrong order. Champions can now gain faith titles. New small deed tokens will no longer be clipped if too long. Cache lumps will now have the correct material type. Bugfix: Removed second rename option from archaeology reports. Bugfix: Statue fragments should now identify as statues instead of containers. Bugfix: You can no longer crush, pick seeds or plant processed vegetables. Bugfix: Branded, cared for, geared, hitched, bred animals should no longer die for overcrowding on server startup. Bugfix: Bury all with grave stones will now destroy all items on the corpse. Bugfix: Wagoner container removed from mission item list. Bugfix: More text and grammar fixes. Bugfix: KOS players on pve servers are no longer considered enemies. The post Patch Notes 30/OCT/18 appeared first on Wurm Online.

    I've also noticed that it is no longer possible to open a mine door the next tile on the sides of the bridge even if it faces towards the bridge- I think it is because now the mine opening top edge is flattened it would alter the terrain under the bridge. I would expand this suggestion to have an option to open a mine opening that does not autoflat the top edge of the opening and disallow putting up a minedoor on a non-flat top edge. This way a bunch of mine entrance desings that were available before the flattening changes would be still feasible - I really sad that it is no more possible to create of a multi tile opening with an arched top too

    Zoranah@StarsHollow and I will be hosting the slaying tomorrow evening. When slain, every premium player in local will receive a small piece of Red dragon hide and Red Dragon blood. Mixing Red Dragon blood with source salt will create a Oil of the weapon smith. Loot will be rolled to slayers from the list abstracted from Niarja. Coast not in local of site, will post location soon.

    This shows just how many people would rather spend money for Wurm capabilities than grind them. It also shows that we really have two Wurms: 1) The Wurm you can play when you have the capabilities high-level skills represent; 2) The Wurm you -have- to play when you don't have those capabilities. Wurm #2 -needs- to be fun, and not something people are willing to spend a -lot- of money to avoid. Fix that, and advertising might mean something.

    No, they're not. I have spent days with a very high ql pendulum trying to find a tiny traitor bird of some sort . Maybe the 4x distance will help, though it's still a pretty small area on a huge server. And I don't think there is any reason why traitor animals can't be set to wander in the same way the avatars do today.

    The healing penalty isn't even that bad in rift scenario's really, when you heal like 60% health you get a 5 minute timer, and 60% healing doesn't happen often per LoF casts, and less spamming and more timed casting could really utilize the power that LoF that now heals the highest wounds. So in all honesty, I have no problem with the healing penalties now. Also here's a cool little look at the powers of frost protection jewellery. [02:06:35] Damage increased to 92.8% from jewelry enchants. That's a 7.2% damage reduction with a 90QL ring with 96 frost protection casted on it.

    anything that's a mount won't have increased/decreased size, so brown bears unicorns crocodiles scorpions and dragons will all be normal size despite conditions, i assume it's so you don't clip into the model/float above it. could definitely do with a fix however.

    This was changed when these creatures became ride-able to avoid conflicts and errors with the riding mechanics/animations, as I recall. You used to be able to ride Champion Horses when they were as tall as a 4-story building way back in the day; Instead of actually riding it you pretty much just floated inbetween its 4 legs and couldn't see anything. I had a screenshot of this somewhere at one point but I fear the age-monster may have consumed that particular hard-drive...

    This is not a new topic, I have been here making this suggestion for years. Could we please have more and MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER choices for landscaping. Wurm is way too green brown and gray. Flower GARDEN TILES. Planters that are NOT UGLY BOXES, that have sparse little flowers in them. Oh, and planters that don't die outside, .. RAIN CAN TAKE CARE OF THEM. Square planters, round planters, large medium small, stone, slate, marble, wood, clay. And again the rose "bushes ?", they are sticks with red dots, or those upside down cones of pink things. How about, ….. Window boxes, wall climbing roses, arbors with flowers, mounds of flowers hanging on walls, flower tiles with LOTS of flowers. And …….. seeds from flowers. A wonderful new skill!!!!! flower gardening, beautify Wurm. We are not all here to fight and get dragon armor. It would also be great if there was a way to change the color and texture of the interior walls, like wallpaper, or paint. Maybe curtains, this game leans very heavily toward the masculine, but there are many women in this game. Not that women ONLY want to decorate, or that they don't want to be fierce fighters. But I am one who fits that decorating type … I don't want to fight, I want to make gardens, and build and decorate. Again, I have been asking for this same thing for 5 years now, couldn't you please make this a lovelier Wurm? Okay, that is my rant for this month, I will very likely be back again.

    If Wurm is a race, it's a time-dilated monstrosity that -nobody- ever finishes. Those top five horses will never quite make it to the finish, and if ridden, those other horses will -always- be gaining (even if they never catch up). The trick is making it fun to gain.

    The main concern has always been "but too many textures" - well, to be honest, some of the new stuff that has been added has been great but has caused some pretty severe memory issues - compared to before - that I don't think it's a good excuse anymore. A couple of megabytes in textures that add variety and flavor to the game aren't going to hurt anything and wont decrease performance, just pack size, but the average game is several gigabytes nowadays anyway. I'd be cool with them being added to all sorts of creatures, anything from melanistic scorpions to albino wolves and dalmation dogs.

    +1 Things on tables, shelves, and such shouldn't decay much if building first floor is complete, in my opinion... I realize that stopping decay completely would compete with the magical chests to some degree, but bookshelves and tables can't be locked. JS

    Currently Oakheart's citizenry is comprised of 40 unique players and an additional 30 alts, and still growing! 9 player plots remain under her latest expansion, with plans in the works for a number of additional townhouses for short term habitation or for players that want to live in an active community but do not want a larger space to manage. Lower city excavation is also well under way, which will more than double our current plot space when completed. The greater marina and canal project are still a ways from being started, but Oakheart is marching steadily in that direction. If a city like Oakheart sounds like a community that fits your game, she has room for you! And now would be a great time to join her ranks! ~TH~

    I have been working as a night grocery stocker for the last bit. This is the first time ever I have been been told to leave early. I was told by my foreman that I can clock out; unlock a door and he will come around in a few mins and re-lock it (the store is closed for 5hrs at night). So happily I grabbed my things since normally I work overtime. So clicking my heels I walk to the first set of double doors which are unlocked and they automatically open but the 2nd set were locked. I unlock them and they did not automatically open. Taking from what I know about Wurm all I need to do is back up a few steps, walk forward and they will open... WRONG. I repeat the process for about 30secs moving back farther back and walking forward. I see out of the corner of my eye 2 of my coworkers standing there with their heads tilted confused. They make a sliding glass door motion so I grab the door and slide it open and it WORKED! I turned around, smiled and gave a thumbs up. At least working nights I can make the excuse of we work like dogs all week and that it is 2am and my brain wasn't working XD. o7, Launsel~

    Like Hate, to Love Wurm I can't relate. Just too strong a word that many use casually. Anyway, the most special part of Wurm to me is my deed that I made when Deliverance opened, now almost 7 years ago. Enduring and slowly progressing over that time by adding new touches to it. Then wandering the Village grounds through the tall forested surroundings. Seemingly a sacred space that can't be found out in RL due to many circumstances, so it would be a sanctuary and retreat from the world. Then as the years pass it remains as a reminder of times passage, yet all blended together in its harmony. None can really know it other than myself. They can only catch glimpses of the meaning of it all, which even then is shaded slightly out of focus by their own perceptions. Maybe I spend too much time alone there but that is how my life goes, not constrained by any others judgments. For if you can't live your virtual life (RL) by your own standards, who are you then really. Happy Trails =Ayes=

    Think long term...like three weeks to a month. For skill grind in HFC, first start off by making as many frying pans as you can stand without puking. It's best to start farming while in the process of doing this. It also helps to have someone in village that already is cooking meals too. If you get it to 500+ frying pans, build appropriate amount of forges to hold all of them. Go out hunting and fishing to build up meat supply. Cook meat and store in food bin. Build up veggie supply as well. Once you have about 15,000 veggies and 5000 cooked meat, you are ready to grind HFC. Filet each cooked meat and place one filet in each pan. Then one veggie in each pan. Then turn on sleep bonus and light forges. At low skill levels this can get you from 0-5 skill all the way to 17-20 skill in one setting for a total use of about 5 minutes of sleep bonus. 15,000 veggies and 5000 meat should get you to about your first title in HFC. Also, side effect of doing it this way, you gain skill in mining, blacksmithing, farming, fighting, fishing, and butchering along the way.
