Please, Wurm, tell me I'm too far away to grab something from a crate/BSB/FSB -before- asking me how much of it I want. It's very frustrating to get the transfer pane, enter a number, and -then- be told "you're too far away".

Valentines sheep eh?

Well done, @Saroman

1. Rugs that can be dyed. 2. The ability to dye canopy beds 3. Option to relocate deed token (Freedom only, long cooldown, must be within bounds of existing deed) 4. More slots/capacity on bookshelves (You can't fit very many books on them as it is now) 5. New statues of the gods, craftable with stonecutting (smaller than the arch statues, can substitute as an altar over QL 30) 6. More flower types. (And fuller-looking flowers in pots and planters, they look like sad dying stems.) 7. Better options for dye storage (The alchemist's cabinet is okay, but very limited and the decor on top is repetitive if you have several) 8. Dresses. (Not just for female toons. Let the guys rock a dress and let that chest hair really get it's moment in the spotlight!) 9. Wall decor - tapestries are cool, but there's not enough of them. This is where taxidermy would be awesome. 10. Tall kingdom banners that can be dyed (base freedom model) 11. Glass-making: Windows, glass bottles, wall mirrors 12. New healing cover made from honey+square of cloth (honey is antimicrobial, and these dressing are used in hospitals even now) 13. Recall to tower: Interaction with guard tower that teleports guards not active in combat back to the guard tower. This would remove guards from caves and bridges where they get stuck. 14. Diagonal fences for those less boxy edges. 15. Wagons with plain white cover that can be dyed. 16. Use dyes on clay pottery before firing to create a glaze for more decorative pottery pieces, such as those below. Maybe we can even stick a flower out of it (like those roses and lavender) 17. Now that we have some new critters running around, I'd like to suggest allowing them to be tamed. I'd love some gorillas to take care of. 18. Create spawns on former deed sites, especially where there are still fences and broken down buildings. I'd love to run into a skeleton or a ghost (whatever they're called) while doing some archaeology because it makes sense in those areas.

Head bobbing makes me seasick. Sorry.

Certainly a juicy update!

Recent Valrei crafting missions have resulted in large item spam (tables, carts, racks, etc.), and I would love a more accessible way than lava/bashing to destroy them. Seems like that would be a good thing all around. Possibilities: - A large altar to sac large items (seen it suggested, not sure how you'd get a cart inside it, but hey!) - A staff/torch/wand of saccing, allowing you to activate it and sac something (probably too many PvP implications for mobile saccing, unless you had to be in the vicinity of an altar to use it) - Disassembling, ideally for parts/skillgain, but for now, I'd settle for sheer destruction.

To clarify on this, and I plan on posting a full postmortem once I'm done: The hardware that Independence once ran on has been replaced and a new drive installed with it's RAID1 restored. Since it's newer hardware now, the intention is to move Independence back and keep the somewhat older hardware in a fresh state for future emergencies. Along with the new hardware, I've updated the operating system and several other services. We currently have a test server running on these updated systems and services, and so far it looks good. So Independence will be the first to run on the new system and the longer downtime Retrograde mentioned will be scheduled a few months out. Further details will be available once we set a specific date, but the goal is to give an advance warning as the downtime will likely be roughly 6-8 hours. I plan on collecting playtime data before deciding on a date and time to try and impact as few people as possible. I've also ran diagnostics on other servers and have found no other hardware issues as of yet. The lag spikes experienced elsewhere are definitely software-related and that's what we're looking into. I'm hesitant on announcing the changes we make to address lag for a few reasons: 1) If they don't work, everyone is disappointed. Make no mistake, while some changes are no-brainers, others are more fine-tuning and won't yield results until they're running in live. 2) Even if they do work, lag can be caused by other issues and we'd rather not make everyone try to figure out if the last patch *really* worked or not. That's what our profiling tools are for! Once we've made concrete progress, we can make a post detailing what we've done and what the results have been.

Right now, when sorting bsb's, I get all Sprouts in one area "Sprouts, X", but I have to hunt down Hops, Rose, Ivy, grape, etc seedlings because they're all over regardless of how you sort them. Even if you can't easily change them so they group like sprouts, logs, etc..., at least they could be sorted alphabetically and be close to each other.

Vaelir's Deed. Greetings Wurmians! Apparently this news is a little late, oops! We’ve been pretty busy dealing with some rather unfortunate hardware issues, we’ll fill you in on that in this week's news, so let’s get on with it! But first... Patch Notes: Independence issues. The lag independence has been experiencing was identified as a failure on one of the drives on the server, which was causing major delays when reading from the database. Upon identifying this our server hero admin Keenan performed extended maintenance during which the databases were moved to another hardware setup. This is a temporary issue while we perform maintenance on the Independence hardware and some time in the near future we will be undergoing an extended downtime period for all servers to perform necessary system maintenance as well. Alongside this we are also investigating the causes for the recent upturn in lag, this will take some time as we run profiling software on each server, identifying when it lags and why. We know dealing with lag is a major pain so it’s our current priority to address and resolve as soon as possible, we do appreciate your patience with it and once we’re in the clear we’ll look at what forms of compensation might be worthwhile. ‘Tis the season! Almanacs, examine, mouseovers, so much text to see if your tree or bush is ripe for the harvest, but what about the items? Coming very soon is a graphics update that displays fruit, berries and all those harvestable goodies directly on the tree. As you can see below, Saroman is always working hard on making Wurm look as alive as possible! This is expected to go out in the next few days, so if you see a graphics pack update, that will be why! Animation polishing Samool has also been hard at work on polishing general animations from a first and third person perspective, including having the camera move with certain animations! https://drive.google.com/file/d/19lduiQjq35duW40UAofd_4zjixt5a0kV/view?usp=sharing Of course it will be a toggle though, motion sickness while playing is never fun. HotA rework The ongoing HotA rework testing is still available on text, we have several devs working with feedback to ensure that any system that comes achieves the goals we have and creates something engaging, be sure to grab a chum, buddy or comrade to check it out and leave any feedback! That’s it from us this week, we’ll be hard at work addressing the hardware and lag issues and hopefully have some more info soon about the dates for the extended downtime. Until then though, keep on Wurming! Retrograde & the Wurm team.

Thats a pretty solid list but if it includes glassmaking it also must include TAXIDERMY +1 to all!

My next PVP video is gonna have head bobbing. I hope you'll like it devs. I hope it makes you just as sick as it makes me.

A Secret Encounter... According to some of the grey ponies at The Mermaid's Cove, Deliverance (who are known to gossip most terribly and therefore can't really be trusted entirely), supposedly-retired stud HappyHill (aged fat black silver) has been spotted sneaking out of his field in the early hours of the morning, and heading for the broodmares' paddock where his lifelong love and wife RockEbony (aged fat appaloosa) still resides. "It was so romantic..." said one grey pony wistfully "..they just can't stay apart." "He went quite purposefully by way of the rose bushes!" whispered another in conspiratorial hushed tones. So... it seems that previous reports of the couple's split and HappyHill's retirement may well have been somewhat over-stated. Watch this space!

When you equip a bow you can't block . So to a statue, it should be the same give you a chance to interrupt them either by combat or archery

I'll just be in the corner recovering from hamster bites and scratches...

I think I posted in here but to be really honest, what this game really suffers from is punishing you for not playing. If you own a deed and don't login, the upkeep could've ran out and deed disbanded. If you own animals, their enchanted grass/food could've ran out and they died. Your items probably decayed or got stolen by the sleepless frothing nerd building fences around your deed checking nonstop so they can make a quick buck or ten. I've rarely been logging in lately since other things are more fun, but the rarely logging in is to make sure the pixel pets on freedom have the food they need to not die. The draw to logging in is seriously to make sure animals don't die and deeds don't fall and items don't decay. This is why people that take long breaks or quit stay gone

Problem is that the range on some of the spells that do most damage is greater then tanglethingy and since they still block archery with the shield while holding a statuette in their 2 hands there is not really a good way to counter it. I think what Wulf said is a good thing.

Turning around to this after coming back from AFK on this char. THEY ARE FREAKY!!!!

open your own suggestion for mushroom farming this is a good idea

The expression of the mask is that of a predator daring anyone to challenge the wearer in combat. This is a very rare and interesting version of the item. Colors: R=21, G=222, B=75. You can barely make out the signature of its maker, '.al.'. A gold rune of Jackal has been attached, so it will reduce size (10%) Web Armour has been cast on it, so it may slow down creatures when they hit this armour. [80] Reduced weight of 2.25kg. Fits in a Bag of Keeping, with or without the rune. A long and slender sword. This is a very rare and interesting version of the item. It bears an aura of Smeagain. It could be improved with a lump. You can barely make out the signature of its maker, 'Vali'. It is enchanted with Human Demise and will be more effective against humans. Nimbleness has been cast on it, so it increase the chance to hit. [96] Shatter Protection has been cast on it, so it protects against damage when spells are cast upon it [100] A gold rune of Jackal has been attached, so it will reduce size (10%) Life Transfer has been cast on it, so it will transfer life to you when harming enemies. [91] Circle of Cunning has been cast on it, so it will increase skill gained with it when used. [94] Mind Stealer has been cast on it, so it will steal skill knowledge from some creatures. [95] Open to offers via PM.

I have some high ql lye available in small barrels. 70ql 0.75s 75ql 1s 80ql 1.25s 85ql 1.5s 90ql 2s I do have multiple barrels available if you need more than one.

This auction is for a supreme gold small maul, 3 ql, with a seryll of Fo rune attached. This maul glows with a light blue glow. [08:36:43] A smooth heavy clump of metal on a shaft. This is a supreme example of the item, with fine details and slick design. It could be improved with a lump. [08:36:43] A seryll rune of Fo has been attached, so it will increase the chance of successfully enchanting the item (10%) According to the wurmpedia: "Weapons that turn rare, supreme, or fantastic are granted extra damage upon each hit. There have been no numbers published on the exact bonus." Gold also causes more armor damage, takes less decay, and has greater shatter resistence. https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Metal_properties#Table_of_properties I don't have the skill to imp this or cast without shattering, so this maul is blank (other than the rune). I can direct you towards some great crafters and casters or dispel the rune if you need. Opening bid: 10s Reserve: none Bid increments: 50c Sniper protection: 1 hour Buyout: 30s

Being worked on, thanks for the report!

@AlyeskaMay I bring your attention back to #9?

Head bobbing was switched off in a second and visible fruits are forever, so love this patch.

Carlton is OUTDATED. Think like you would be 14. There is only one real dance at the moment! The FLOSS! Fortnite already got it but Wurm could be number two.

@ votip the articulation on that blueberry bush ...... destined to be on display in the Guggenheim and Tate Modern alike.

I'm unsure if I will like my new head called Bob but more options are the better. It is a toggle away only so even if I personally will not like it: THANK YOU! Actual fruits are great too... but what will happen to my lamb stew tonight???

Since Enki himself has seen that the southeastern portion (not through Daryan's deed) remains incomplete, perhaps it would be reasonable to name the north section (which has been completed by a real deed owner, and not a mysterious and conveniently anonymous person) in accordance with the deed owners request. I'm sure this won't actually be considered, just wanted to make sure it was in the thread so nobody can say no reasonable alternatives exist.

I feel like some are bumping the price estimate higher because of name reputation of account vs the skill dump. Looking it over, I'd value it between 240-280 tops and i feel like i'm being generous there. It's mostly pvp oriented and moderate at that, mid level with little else and a smattering of tomes one being being valuable to pvp. could be a good account but would take much work/grinding vs out of the box ready. thoug it's good as entry level fook about to start in.

Happy Valentines day! For those who have hearts, me excluded.

Happy Valentine to HappyHill and RockEbony, I wouldn't be surprised if another lovebaby is on the way ?

Thanks, added to the list to be removed

There's no third person view, but the camera-follows-animations feature is a toggle, as Retrograde mentioned. With it off, it'll stay as is now.

First Now let me read this!

- not being able to just bash unwanted boat/vehicle, owned by ME, on MY deed - that I need to move carefully on each turn after corner of the mine/building/fence or any doors while leading horse, so it won't stop or stuck on worst case - horse disappearing when riding into mine wall - that mine doors are free to pass from inside - that I need presence of Magranon to spawn lava - correcting course of horse/vehicle after each dozen of tiles to not get out of the road - buggy bridges that I run under, when trying to ride on a bridge with high speed, in certain places (riding on bridges on my deed is almost impossible on daily basis) - that I need to remove building, collapse a tile and another one, then mine both back to just correct a ceiling in mine (lowering it) - that hellhorses still attack me through the floors - did I mentioned buggy bridges? - bugged Valrei map and system at whole - that I just cannot right click and merge items like woodscraps or cotton - that I need to tame horse to change/repair it's gear - that I cannot take things from container altough I can see what's inside AND can put stuff in - that my wagon below, stick out through my floor Oh, and I hate bushes, all are ugly and spread everywhere.

The butchering knife used was a rare iron butchering knife. Looking down, the player's hand was empty, although ofc it was still clasped as if holding something during the animation. Re-logged and butchered again, and the same thing happened. GMT today: [00:36:40] You butcher the corpse of aged wild cat. I do not have data for other metal types, supreme knives or normal non rare knives.

Impressive!

YES TO EVERYTHING HORSE RELATED. Also it would be lovely to have housecats wandering around. And more colours for sheeps. Spotty sheeps, brown sheeps, sheeps with curly horns....

My 2018 collection. For more Mordy shenanigans, join Sklotopolis server on WU. You owe me an LMC for advertising, Sklo =P

I'll double emphasize a statement here. "It's hard to give a statement about epic because our focus is on other areas to improve the general retention and population" . I can understand that in the long run. But it's not hard to give a statement on epic. The mass exodus of the last 100 players left on epic when freedom transfers kicked in says it all. I have been paying upkeep for my deed on epic for a year since then and i have no villagers that play there. I've seen 3-4 people left on epic that have one goal, and that is to raid and disband the rest of the remaining deeds on epic for a few coppers .That's the state on Epic. No one plays there. Do you know why? Bad mechanics aside, is because All those 100 players that left, including myself had the same "gut feeling" and that is : Because you have ignored epic, so shall we. Because no news about Epic being closed down or not have been given to us, no road map, we all naturally assumed the worst due to "silence". It's our natural instinct as human beings when someone is silent towards us we must expect bad news. This Epic mass exodus to freedom was the said result of that instinct + a few other things, on a collective level. How long do I and the few remaining 3-4 players on Epic have to pay for deeds with no villagers? Can't you see that having a dead server actually does more harm than good? Because new players come to epic,. ask the same question over and over again "Is anyone there?" and when they are met with silence? They leave. Thus keeping the cycle full tilt. There is absolutely no motivation to play on epic whatsoever now. There is nothing on Epic that makes it unique anymore save the fact is has 50% faster timers. That's it. Sorry guys, But for me and many of us Epic got the final nail in the coffin when transfers kicked in. Can we please bury this corpse now? Or shall we let it rot for years to come so more and more players play on epic for a day and quit the game. Joining a server with no players tells a new player 1 thing and 1 thing only : This game has no players. That is not a good business decision.. Also, sorry to see you leave Sindusk, we never talked but the way people talk about you, wish we had been friends. Take care, fare winds to you.

Not to cause any trouble or anything, but if your policy is to not talk to players, I believe your team has gone down the wrong path to address the issues you've encountered. Players are your most important resource. Without players there is no game. Remember that. Talking to your player base should be your #1 priority. The fact you dont see that saddens me greatly.

might wanna revisit those policies eh

@FranktheTank I've been keeping up to date with this thread from the beginning and have read through everything since it started. It's still too early to state anything concrete.
