Public Letter - Retrograde 'Abuse of Power' Claims This is an open letter in response to a number of 'abuse of power' claims made against Retrograde our Community Relations Coordinator as a fair number of people have some very misguided ideas about what transpired in some specific situations. Rolf has been investigating these 'abuse of power' claims and has requested that I as Head Game Master investigate years worth of logs in detail for context on every issue that he indicated. After a very in depth review I have been asked to make known to the public the results of this investigation. 1 - Horse with good gear taken from one person and returned to its owner. Claim – Retrograde is accused of abusing his powers to take a horse from someone and return it to someone that he is friends with. Status – False Origin – In December of 2018 one or more of the servers had to undergo multiple restarts. These restarts were necessary but not planned and caused a player to lose a horse with a lot of high quality gear as they did not have a chance to secure, tame, or brand the horse during these restarts. By the time the player had managed to log back in someone else had obtained the horse and the gear on it. Following precedent in this situation, I retrieved and returned the horse, as it was lost by no fault of the player due to extenuating circumstances. Retrograde was not involved in the return of the horse to the player. 2 - Summer Hat Claim – Retrograde gave a Summer Hat to a friend of his. Status – True Origin – Game Masters, Developers, and Team Volunteers are given an item or a coupon for each years Christmas as an appreciation of their service to the community. These items must be approved by the Head Game Master after a review of their affect on the game or community to avoid any overpowered or improper items being allowed in. Retrograde's last Christmas wish was a Summer Hat which is a gift that Rolf handed out once in the past to Game Masters. Team Members are allowed to use their gifts or coupons as they wish, including giving them as gifts. I approved the Summer Hat for Retrograde's Christmas gift and after that he was allowed to do with it as he saw fit. 3 - Dragon Shoulder Pads Claim – Retrograde gave dragon shoulder pads to someone Status – True Origin – For the purposes of advertising and promotion within the Vynora Entertainment Network, Retrograde did in fact create a pair of dragon shoulder pads that were given away during a streaming event. I found no illicit activity involved in this matter as the event and giveaway were public and anyone interested in participating had a chance to win them. 4 - Finding creatures during unique hunts Claim – Retrograde used his powers to locate dragons for his friends. Status – False Origin – Mainly just coincidence. Myself, two Developers, and Retrograde had been monitoring some peculiar situations regarding unique creatures. I can see very clearly who tries to use any powers to interact with creatures and when. Retrograde used his access five times in the last 2 years and during each instance it was for official business and did not coincide with any hunts that he or his friends were involved in. 5 - Retrograde hired a friend as a Game Master Claim – Retrograde added a close friend as a Game Master and a Community Relations member. Status – False Origin – We have a team member who is connected to Retrograde who came up through the ranks and was given a green light for training as a Game Master. Retrograde has no authority to add Game Masters to the team. I added this team member to training on the recommendation of six of my most active Game Masters at the time. Their assessment was based on that members activity and positive record of good responses and quick responses and I agreed with their assessment. It is true that this team member is also part of Retrograde's community relations work. I have no issue with that at all, as we even have a Developer who is also a forum moderator. This is the bulk of the main points brought forward by those who feel Retrograde had at some point abused his powers to help his friends. Because of the nature of these claims Rolf asked me to look through years of logs and look for any irregularities. After a lot of sleepless nights reviewing line after line of logs and comparing to events and official business we have identified every single thing Retrograde has used his powers for on the live servers. Every item, every lamp, every brick, every teleport, and so on, I can point to an official action or event and have found absolutely no abuse of his access to create items or assistance for his friends. The single most important thing that must be maintained by all of us is that if we cannot be public and transparent about an action that we take, then we are doing something that we should not be doing. In one fashion or another, that has been a guiding principal to my actions as Head Game Master, and every team member from Rolf on down should always keep this idea in mind when we are working on anything. It is this very principal that allows me the freedom to post the results of this lengthy investigation for public consumption in the interest of quelling these false narratives about Retrograde. Retrograde himself, as our Community Relations Coordinator has been pushing me to be more transparent with our community, which has not been an easy battle with all the years I have spent protecting confidential information so that you could enjoy the game without us spoiling it for anyone. With very few exceptions, our Community Relations Coordinator has always done his best to keep me informed of his plans regarding promotion of Wurm Online and Wurm Unlimited, especially when he needs certain items or creatures and has kept me appraised of his activities, usually to request permission to act, before I even review the logs. With transparency in mind, this is how our team is currently setup. Rolf is at the top of the food chain as CEO of Code Club AB, and then there is Budda who is our Project Manager here for Wurm Online and those are the only two with the authority to investigate me should any claims be brought to them. As Head Game Master it is then my job to oversee anything that is done on the live servers by any avatar from our players on up including our Community Relations Coordinator. This means that no one may use any powers without my knowledge or ability to review. Thank You, Wurm Online Team

Chaos, complete 180°

What happens is that your alt gets disconnected randomly due to some momentary network issue and reconnects automatically, which restarts that "idle too long" timer, and then they get kicked out for not moving.

Rolf lost the hat, unfortunately we cant bring this back ? But I am working on something, so stay tuned

New pvp server and chaos turned into huge pve archeology grind farm

Sincerely the best server I have played on. The Admin's and community are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I cannot recommend them enough!

You can fit 100 oranges in a satchel, but you can only fit 18 blueberries or raspberries in a satchel. Can we get Blueberries and raspberries bumped to 100 too? thanks!

I love misty mornings ❤️

New updates to most of my mods. It's recommended to have the latest SinduskLibrary even if you don't use Armoury, though not required. Sindusk Library v2.2 (Download) Update to support new armour class design, allowing Armoury to reference armours properly. Addition of the EnumBuster supporting class, which is used by WyvernMods to create custom titles. Armoury v4.0 (Download) Requires SinduskLibrary v2.0 or higher. Repair armour modification code. This re-enables the use of the following properties: armourDamageReduction-## - change the base DR values for an armour. armourEffectiveness-## - Change the armour effectiveness value against a specific wound type or set of wound types. armourGlanceRate-## - Change the glance rate of armour against a specific wound type or set of wound types. DiscordRelay v3.0 (Download) Added support for relay between CA HELP and #ca-help. Added support for relay between MGMT and #mgmt. Both of these features can be enabled or disabled in the configuration. Server Tweaks v1.6 (Download) Added feature that allows an adjustment to the power of the epic curve. Fix an issue where uncap GM enchant maximum power was set to 999, causing GM's to be unable to properly set the power of Bloodthirst. The new maximum is 99,999. Spellcraft v3.3 (Download) Items with QL 99.995 or higher are now considered to be 100QL for the purposes of damage modifier calculations. Fixed a bug where placing an item on top of a container would prevent Replenish from functioning. (Thanks Xype) Fixed a bug where casting Heal on a zombie would cause the server to crash. (Thanks Carl for crashing the server by casting on a zombie chicken) TreasureHunting v1.3 (Download) Added a feature where the quality of the lock on a chest would be significantly reduced if all ambushing creatures are slain. Fixed an issue where maps would not drop from hunting due to an invalid code hook. On a more personal note, I'd like to share something else. Over the past several years that I've been modding Wurm Unlimited (and for a short time, working on Wurm Online), I've done so completely out of passion for the game. Ever since I started playing the game in 2015, it's really captured me in a way that very few other games have. I believe I'm not the only one to share this feeling. There's other server hosts and modders which show similar passion in their projects to the benefit of everyone else. Sometimes I forget how much I take for granted, such as BSB's being sorted or horses going up more than 40 slope. However, I'm now in a financial situation where I could use your help. For this reason, I've set up a Patreon page. With your support, I'll increase my efforts to give back to the community in meaningful ways. My stretch goals include making WyvernMods fully configurable and increasing my efforts towards a valid anti-cheat solution. Beyond that, I'd be making additional mods with the input of patrons. Hope everyone likes these new updates. It's taken some time to get back into the swing of things, but I've got some big plans for after the next WU update!

Reported, soon to be fixed

What Wurm feels like right now...

-1 This is a bandaid that changes nothing. Remove SotG and add it to a server global buff: IE: if you are on Chaos you got a 30% damage reduction by default

I got moves like jagger.

Can confirm me and my friends have related issues, being stuck in t-pose on horse as well.

Super fast service, great tasting pizza's and the best part is all the topping stayed on top it didn't slide off the pizza like some pizzas from other pizza companies. Will highly recommend ?

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.

I'm leaving it on as I really like it, but it needs to become a little more subtle. It's a bit too much now.

I had to log off and go to bed just now because this made me sick. I nearly lost my dinner. I couldn't figure out why it was happening since I was just walking so I just logged off. Then I see this thread. Come to think of it, I think the screen shakes as you walk. Probably a bug resulting from this change.

Nah no need for removing, Chaos could become chalenge pve server that people ask for so much. It's a good map afterall, no need to go to waste. Have nothing against moving pvp entirely on epic...

Sounds good to me, we can use the defunct epic server. The best part? Epic is already largely code-split from freedom.

been a long time since i looked but i do recall a roof is needed for the inside building to be not as cold, keep in mind its not "stop the freeze" its just "not as cold". In dead of winter you need heat source to not freeze, I put braziers basically every 4 or 5 tiles in a grid pattern on my deed and it works well, they auto turn on at night when its coldest.

ok been almost another week, I would say GM deed maker is working good enough, removing the BETA tag with a note some other mods may have conflict issues purely because other mods may not check if mayor exists before checking mayor details.

This is really great!

Grateful Dead - Truckin' (1972 Live)

One of the most fun servers I've played on. Thanks for the great work. I recommend everybody to join.

Naw, I turned it off before I even logged in. Settings gear click option on login screen is handy for such things. =Ayes=

+1 because I'm really tired of seeing stumps all over the place, ruining the view. I'd like to give a small "bounty" and karma for bashing them, if that could be worked out.

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

Best marketing Wurm could get if you ask me.

btw, i can confirm my game is working 100% now. i think it was some weird compound issue with my drivers being out of date PLUS something with obs, because now that i have switched over to stream labs obs. instead of the regular OBS, and updated my drivers i havnt had the bug once. thank you very much leaving this for the future in case anyone comes across this same issue. its fixed now though for me.

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.

just finish the med rework and make elemental immunity 100% uptime people can choose between 30% melee or 33% reduction from elemental (possibly 100% depending on if the persons weapon is salved) pls, i love path of power : i put no thought into this post whatsoever, i just want path of power buffed so i can swap

Yes. Welcome to wurm's magic RNG It can be really nice sometimes (3 90 casts in a row), and really mean during others (no cast above 50 at 80 channeling for over an hour). If it's any consolation, you probably don't need to grind to 90 channeling as it doesn't make much difference.

Please add CLUB Market to the map, p-20 just in case you dont' know location

I whant to add Notilla Harbour at (K-9 in-game map) cords 30y7x we got a vynorra colossus,guard tower, obelisk, merchant 2x will send 2 imgr pic to show https://imgur.com/B90qu1F https://imgur.com/HOo41mN we also got the highway to there.

I would welcome some incentive to remove stumps. But 10i is prolly too much in my opinion. Rather there should be skill gain, in characteristics like BS and SD, also either in woodcutting, or gardening, and a random chance of a rare coin like in for/bot, kill, bury etc.

7.7% actually. it's a waste of money to replace your pickaxe until it gets to 70ish 5x rare, 10x supreme, 15x fantastic. i've done hundreds of hours with some of my supremes and most haven't lost any, some have only lost a point or two

That is awesome

My latest pics of my deed, still in the making (mostly terraformed now, buildings in progress)... more to follow! 30+ pictures in the link below https://imgur.com/gallery/mdPoVFc

bdew THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH it worked I switched it too windowed mode and it loaded straight away. This the first time I ever used a forum Im delighted. Its also my first time playing Wurm so wish me luck maybe i can give you a nice gift in game sometime TYTYTY ❤️

Try switching between fullscreen/windowed mode

A recipe or inscribed piece of paper is 1i to mail, but a blank sheet is 1c? Is this As Intended? With archaeology requiring 30ql+ paper, blank sheets should be the same cost as inscribed ones. [20:16:11] You drop 20 paper sheets. [20:16:28] You have been charged 20 copper.

What you see here will be a more transparent issuance of penalties and moderation actions against the most horrendous offenders. We have striven to keep the issues of each member confidential all these years, but there are times when that provided confidentiality is publicly used against us to make us look biased or corrupt. After some discussions behind the scenes we have determined to strip away that confidentiality that we provided when it comes to the most serious offenses such as Toxic Players, or mass penalties where we are often bombarded with appeals as well as 3rd party complaints. When we are required to act against a member of our community, we do not do so out of bias or some form of arbitrary self indulgence. The paperwork is far too great for it to be enjoyable. Yet, when we take action, invariably, the person under penalty rarely tells the 'whole truth' to the people they speak to. This causes us no end of problems and we hope that being more transparent about these individuals will save us a lot of time and effort.

You can currently throw empty slots at other creatures. As a result, you get a question mark bag on the ground that can never be moved no matter what you do. [00:20:11] You cannot move that. update: you can move it if it's in a pile

you need to do half of one to unlock the next. i have unlocked 1 (first steps) 2 (finding a path) and 5 (on the highway) i have not unlocked 3 or 4 yet, i completely skipped them to go to 5. It does seem you can do them and unlock the next without seeing them, but that doesn't seem intended

Sometimes you make a few simple meals using a variety of veggie types, for example chopped bear + chopped corn, chopped bear + potato. Both come out with the same name, but give different affinities. I think this mod would be very helpful, as it would tell you which one gave you the affinity.

Hi. I wrote this guide thinking that most people never get the chance to read something like this. Wurmpedia doesn't tell everything it should as you might already know. Most people on freedom do not know these things , and sometimes even people on chaos. Keep in mind that this is my own opinion, i'm by no means an all knowing wizard and there's far more experienced people at PVP than myself. Guide starts up at freedom level 1FS toon and gets more complex as pages go on. Note that you should have a basic understanding of the wurm mechanics to be able to follow it. Basicly i want you to know what "body strength" is or how to create basic tools and so on and so forth. Have fun. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vleppxC7I-qIZ3IXKBzRLoENsm9YT5cAf0JoAVsyu0I/edit?usp=sharing

I thought i'd get the bare minimums in, see how it's received and add more things as time goes on. Thank you for the info
