Totally logical, and Winnie the Pooh would approve. ?

Enabling first person headbob as a default, always on feature is not a good idea. I noticed it within instants of logging in. There was something dramatically wrong with my field of view. I thought that there was something wrong with my video card for a second. In real life, there is no such thing as 'first person headbob' unless you are drugged, injured, or disabled. Games don't NEED to be true to real live, but visual sensory input is one of areas in a video game, where one needs to be careful. If you want to implement first person headbob when a head wound is received, cool! If you want to implement inebriation, and have first person headbob be a symptom, that's fine too. Maybe poison, dehydration, or starvation could cause it too. But healthy human eyesight DOES NOT DO THIS. Our eyes and brain work together to display a steady view of the world. Please remove this 'feature' as a default. If you must implement it, implement it where it makes sense.

Mental illness is a topic not many talk about. There’s a definite taboo surrounding it, on top of the general fact that most people don’t know how to handle it on either side of the equation. I’ve been on both sides of the equation, and I know it’s difficult. What do you say to someone who comes to you and admits they want to harm themselves? What do you do when you feel the need to talk to someone but are too afraid people will leave? So I am deciding to share some of my story here. To encourage people to listen if asked to listen, and to seek help if they feel they need to. Asking for help is okay! Admitting that there’s a problem is the first and hardest step. Supporting your friends who have admitted that there’s a problem is key in helping them become better. I’d like to start with an apology. Over the years, I have come off rather rude at times and I’ve even picked fights with members of this community. I fully accept responsibility for this, and one important thing for me is to never blame my actions on something else. They are mine. I came to a point in life where I was depressed, and as such, I took it out on others. I sought help for the depression, but nothing seemed to work. Soon other symptoms piled up, including a crippling anxiety and even some mania. The depression made it hard for me to do anything, including keep up with my duties here. The anxiety stopped me from doing even the simplest things, such as grocery shopping. The mania ranged from being my most productive times, all the way to a hypomania state where I was a danger to myself and others. I didn’t remember much about my hypomania moments. The rest made life difficult, leading me to feel some unpleasant things. I wouldn’t say I was close to “ending it all”, indeed I had been closer in my earlier life. I simply didn’t want to exist. Thankfully that began to change in 2017. I finally made the call to seek help, and I was first diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. Well, the depression medication worked some, and the anxiety medication helped reduce the panic attacks. I decided to do something crazy though, and I went to a convention for the first time in my life. The entire weekend was amazing, even though I was shaking most of it. I put myself through the ringer, under medication and with my therapist on call, and I came out alive. Unfortunately things only improved so much. In 2018 I ended up improving my living situation, but I still found myself crippled with depression. Worse, the mania and hypomania was increasing. I had no idea what this was, but I welcomed the mania. Who needs sleep when I was getting so much done! I ended up working over 100 hours a week at my previous job a few times. Great, I guess? I finally made another call to admit that things weren’t going as good as I had been indicating. Yes, it was silly of me to lie to my therapist and psychiatrist, but I don’t like change. I started recounting how I only felt good when I was busy with work. I mentioned sleep was a problem, but I figured it was the caffeine I was drinking. Then a memory hit me of just a day ago when I “went crazy” in my car and tried to see if I could take a corner at a high rate of speed. I’m usually reserved and safe, but I remember feeling god-like. I could do anything. I was invincible. Well, that lead into a string of memories that were all very similar and I started unraveling the hypomanic states where I not only did reckless things that could’ve hurt myself, but times when I nearly hurt others as well. I was re-diagnosed as bipolar and needless to say I was not well for a week or two. The guilt of what I had done in the past weighted heavily, and still does. I’m doing a lot better now, though not perfect. I need to make that call yet again, and I will. I at least know what I’m up against now. I’m not saying I’ll be perfect. I may still have my moments, but I’ve been making an effort to remember and apologize when I do. I’m really not a mean or angry person at heart. While I can endure criticism and “hate”, under it all I love this game and what I do. That about sums up my story. Remember that it is okay to ask for help, and it is okay to not know how to help one who asks. Be supportive and if you find yourself in that weird position of not knowing how to help your friend, recommend they seek help. We can’t always fix ourselves without help. I hope this story helps some, either with their own troubles or in understanding “what the hell is wrong with Keenan”. I’m not asking forgiveness of those I’ve offended, but I do hope this explains things a bit. I wish you all well.

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".

Chaos should be representative of the "live game", as it is directly connected to the freedom cluster. - 1

yeah, lets delete everything -1 as I said

How many days need to pass to not be considered stalking ? asking for a friend..

It took me years to seek help. Many of my alliance call me Dorkian because I can be very silly when online, and I come off in forums and in Wurm as a good soul that 'grins from ear to ear', but in real life I had anxiety issues that made me a total a$$. Two years ago I got so bad in RL I finally went for professional help . My doctor recommended medication to help, I hated the idea of it, and he suggested something 'low key'...Benadryl. ..Yup, the stuff we give to dogs on planes to keep them calm, or we take ourselves to stop sniffles during the pollen seasons. Silly as it was, it totally changed my life. I've gone from a total a$$ to being a bit Snarky in a funny way or as the Kids In The Hall would say 'Evil, impolite and eeeevil!'. My doctor said, (after a few hours or me rambling about my virtual lives) 'It is human nature to do things that make you happy. It doesn't matter if it is in a real world or a virtual one, it will affect you more than you may think, and those things can help to make you a happier you, which is the real you that you want to be.' Be strong. Be positive. Keep being a better you!

I'm just waiting for a companion in a shuttle right now.

+1 I agree 100% - esp. as newbies could be totally put off by this feature - should be an option for those who want it - not default.

Corn and oil are already in game can we put it in a cauldron and make popcorn? Ppl can then throw it at the enemy. Also feathers and cloth sheets are in game can we make pillows from them? Also please add a cloth pijamas armor set so we can have hota pillow fights! And when ppl equip pillow as weapon the game will auto enable the head bob. And when wearing the cloth pijamas armor the player receives a buff for -30 magic damage taken and is called: Protected by the tooth fairy. And when you reach 70 pillow skill you get a special move to dunk a bed on the enemy's head with aoe stun effect! Should cost alot of stam so ppl cant spam it. Thank you.

Tich's Gone Fishin' Memorial (Release L-25) An introduction by friends of Tich. Logging into Wurm, looking at our friend's list to see the first name not online to be Tich pressed those close to her to create a memorial, not only for others to see, but also to leave their own memories about this wonderful person for the rest of Wurm to enjoy. This project began in early November of 2018 and served as a cathartic focus for hearts and minds that were still struggling with Tich's passing. Though the work took only about 2 weeks to complete, with a subsequent few weeks of fine tuning to follow, by far the most difficult task was/is to write on opening introduction to the people of Wurm for the memorial. It is our hope that those touched by Tich or her works in-game will make the journey to Release, at L25, and bring with you a bit of something that ties you to Tich and her works, to be left in perpetuity as your own addition to the memorial. (Feel free to contact Daciana or Pomona by forum pm for help in placing or securing your personal additions, or adding personal anecdotes or stories to the Tich's Gone Fishin' Memorial) What began as players seeking comfort in remembering a friend, transitioned into co-workers yearning for an opportunity to show what she meant to them, and what we all hope will evolve into a community reaching out together to put the wealth of impact Tich made upon us all on exhibition. While here, please take the time to explore every aspect of the memorial. You will find a multitude of surprises made available through substantial background help from the Wurm Online Team all of which were especially close to Tich. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the memorial.

Today marks the 168th day we've gone without an update for Wurm Unlimited, just short of six months. While I know a lot is coming down the pipeline as far as updates from Wurm Online, I'm just curious, is there any news about when our next update will be? Many of us over here are very excited for what's been added and are very hungry to get our hands on the new patches! Any news is good news, we'd just like to have some sort of timeline to quantify the time we have to suffer the wait! Devs, Retro, is there any news on this front?

remove tomes or just nerf truestrike remove sotg remove local remove twitter remove area history remove hota remove battle camps remove freedom alt spawning on chaos put us on a realistic size map take away archery/spell debuff with armour make pvp great again

It's been quite a few years since it was removed, I'm not entirely sure why it was removed but I think it would be great if the option to bring back VoIP was explored.

Oakheart must be the Stepford Village - everyone seems so happy...and lucky to be there... ..and all the time... Definitely needs further investigation... Love reading these posts!

bottom of the barrel tc at it again with pointless threads

i think that spamming reveal artifacts would give away who's holding it even if twitter didn't but whatever

Personally I'd rather see Twitter removed from Chaos. At least it would require having someone logged in.

I'd almost forgotten about bumping this thread constantly xD Can't believe this hasn't been added honestly.

+1 Leave it if you want, can be tweaked down the line, but it's a bad idea as default the way it is right now. OP's right, our eyes naturally keep the view steady except under extreme/unusual circumstances. To achieve that "head bob" effect rl would imply gluing ones eyes to a fixed position.

+100 - this is incredibly annoying

Could I get an arch journal? COD to Zethreal. Thanks!

carts/wagons are somebody's property, you shouldn't be just allowed to mess with that, beds, freedom flags etc.. sure. The common not so unique items offdeed, outside of a structure should decay faster for sure.. One of the things I don't like is.. finding unique-slaying sign.. some random name planted a ~ql60 sign that is "indestructible" and from that moment.. it remains in the game for years to come.. it served for some good 1 evening, after that it's just an unpleasant reminder of that somebody.. forgetting to clean up.

Nothing that any dancer can do now hasn't been done before...so I believe this case is a waste of the court's time. However, there has been other very stupid court cases...

It has taken a while; well, in fact, it has taken much longer as expected; but as of today, Fraggle Rock Canal is an offical Herritage Site. Many thanks to Ajala for helping me out on this. And many thanks to the GM's that had to come back every time because things weren't beautiful enough, but never ran out of patience. If I ever make another application, I'll know what to be prepared for. For those of you who consider using the canal in the future; this is how it looks at the East side: And this is how it looks at the west side: I can only conclude now, that this project is completely completed.

Here, I have some spare bottles of Rolf's pee from my premium reward.

It is only when we speak openly and honestly that the stigma surrounding mental health issues will finally stop. I have two adult sons.During their entire life I had stressed over and over, there is absolutely no shame in asking for help. In fact, it takes a real man to speak up and say "I need help". I stressed over and over that mental health is as important, if not more important than, your physical health. Sadly, because of the stigma society places on mental health issues my son did not seek help. Just over a year ago one of my sons hit his breaking point before getting the help he needed and he attempted to take his own life. Despite talking to him frequently, and having what I think is a good relationship I failed to see the warning signs. I am happy to say after a day in the hospital, ten days in an inpatient treatment center , two different psychologists and three different therapists (you have to find one that feels "right" for you, that's uber important!) he's doing VERY well. I am so proud of you for speaking out and letting people know that mental health issues are not something taboo. Mental illness is just that; an illness. It is something that needs to be treated just as if you had any other chronic illness. That they happen to people every day. And that help is available, although not always as easy to get as it needs to be (my opinion, and another rant).

Actually...

not exactly the same and don't want to hijack the thread but we need to bump up offdeed decay, the amount of wagons beds flags etc on old deeds that stay there for a year or more is insane.

head bobbing is one of those things you look at once, think "nice" and turn it off forever

Location: J 21 on in-game map, or 50x, 28y on community map. Start Time (approximate): (15 Feb 06:15 in the UK) Free beds and pens at Oak Harbour (M21) for out-of-towners - just contact me here or in-game.

cheries on trees are cubes and look goddamn adorable, I love it, headbobbing is fine, and I don't mind, flipped my s### when i went to meditate and i actually sat down with the camera, for farming it's a bit annoying, but overall I love it, might turn it off for the alt who does excessive farming and keep it on the main. all in all, very pleased, thank you! Also the broken heart on sheeps are disgustingly heartbreaking, I almost felt sorry for killing it, 10/10 would murder lovesheep again.

Being worked on, thanks for the report!

And yet I'm sure the map still has 2 "H".

Sorry whats the point of head bobbing? Never saw a game that's first person implement this idea. Seems like a early april fools don't you think?

I wonder if this would work as a Wurm Unlimited server...

Alright here's a well recorded case of my last champion large rat. This is a MALE, his name was Agent Squeak. He was tamed and cared for as shown in the logs below: As the screenshot below shows, the rat died at age AGED. It also shows that there was meat (below the red arrow) in the pen so starvation can not have been a cause of death (rat was fat as well, but that's not visible here). It was male so neither can miscarriage. It shows that the animal was branded to my deed. The cause of death is missing. I honestly don't see a cause of death for this one at all.
