Im crossing to the underworld:

I believe there is a wide consensus that the new priest journal systems goal of Casting a Global spell is extremely difficult, if not unfair. After contention, there were changes made that allowed for linked priests to also count as having fulfilled the requirement. It is currently the only goal I see that is not self-determinant. Furthermore it encourages selfish behavior and protectionism. Currently greed and selfish behavior are rewarded by three points: 1: Guaranteeing you fulfill the journal requirement (Waiting for others might cost you the opportunity. A lottery system would not guarantee you are one of the links, nor prevent ninja casts) 2: Preventing others from getting +5 to skill casts (If you already get this benefit, why risk harming your marketability) 3: 5 hour sleep bonus upon cast. (A minor motivation as it would be received regardless of who casts.) For an already non self-determinant goal, you have further added motivation for others to play the role of spoiler. My suggestion for alleviating / remedying this flaw. These suggestions are not to be taken as a whole, but as parts or a composite: 1: Disallow priests who have participated in the rite from participating again. 2: Potentially increase the total favor drain, which would require more cooperation and priests to be linked. (from 300 to say, 600 required favor). 3: Increase the frequency of casts, and perhaps decrease the reward for doing so. 4: Change the goal to "participate" in a global cast, allowing the 24 hour prayer window to fulfill the requirement. Currently, the non-priest journal line is all capable of being fulfilled by your own actions. Some may say "kill a legendary creature" is not, but there are many opportunities that present. Furthermore, you must only land a hit, not be one of the 3-9 people who happen to be on when at relatively random rite is possible. Thank you!

I enjoy looking at the lovely ladies from a safe distance, avoiding the temptation of their warm smiles. Yet here I stay shivering within the harsh Wurm winters awaiting springs arrival. Too much to do here. Work is never done. Skills slowly to rise until the breaking point of repetition draws me back to wander the forests for more sprouts to hoard and plant when the blue timer haze turns my mind to vacant grassy spots where they shall thrive over the years, only to be cut down by the careless and never replaced. Vast vacant landscapes awaiting the forests embrace of new growth. Pesty mobs to be dispatched and buried beneath the fertile Wurm soil should they dare to disrupt my forest wanderings. Then back to my welcoming Village of familiar years toils for a bite to eat and sleep in the warm bed carefully shaped and placed in its cozy corner. Never venturing too far from its shelter for the short day/nights cycle to sleep once again when it all becomes too much out of time. Where toils and work are not that really but just things to be done for the enjoyment they provide, as I ponder that some may find the freedom here that the other world can not provide. Tiny pockets within aimlessness to fill the hours. Nothing needing to be done but everything to do. That's how it is for me, and you? =Ayes=

So I got a warm welcome

"Let's call it a draw."

Today I pulled out the randomizer and it sent me to Deliverance. It landed me near none other than the randomizer's creator Yaga! The following transpired... (slightly edited for sanity)

Sunrise over Niflheimr (which is heavily in WIP).

As in title. Currently we get hidden mission objects from investigating and digging (regular or to a pile). Would be nice to add mining to the pool (regular and surface mining).

Bump bump. Many more veins have died this week with the help of@Anarres,@Tuga, Jospicy and@Tilda. Since there was room for a 2-wide walkway, we've widened the southern entrance in preparation. It also means it can be hooked up to the highway system once finished. The northern walkway entrance will not be widened for the time being, as the inside of it is a watery mess. Thanks again to all those who have helped out. Bit by bit the canal is progressing!

For those of us seeking a more natural design. The wood plank "curbing" could be used to design lovely public parks, trails, outdoor gardening and farming beds (1x1, 2x8, etc) set off by the woodchip or log crosssection "paving" Will look lovely once we get those handhewn log housing options, which I am sure will be out sometime after the LEATHER & FUR Wurm Spring Fashion Show 2018

It does, in fact, work with 1.9.1.5 ?

After a couple hours testing/adding/removing mods, there seems to be an issue between your crafter and delivery contract mods with Governor's 'GM Commands' mod the commands for some reason no longer work (unknown command) when either crafter and/or delivery contracts are installed. As a non-coder ( I make a rock look like a coding prodigy on my best day) I have a feeling the main issue may be something concerning traders (there is a #resettraders command, and your mods also have some reloading of traders).. Then again, that's just a hunch on my part.... I'm hoping it's just something small-ish, that can easily be fixed as I really would like to have all 3 mods working together... Strangely enough, buyer mod works fine with GM Commands.... Thankyou

Hello everyone o/, like the title says: i am looking for someone on Freedom preferable on Release server who has choosen Path of Hate and has alot of knowledge already he could share with me or maybe someone who also wants to start with Path of Hate. As far as i know the only reasonable opportunity to get those path of hate tiles for the levels is to travel to Chaos Server. As Mycelium is a constant tile there. I appreciate any knowledge you have and any tips you can give me. Please post it down here or pm me. Have a good day everyone! Warjack

I think that the original recalculation of skills was TERRIBLY implemented, why even inflict anyone with its presence once more. Epic players had their FS nerfed - even though it isn't a fricking (sry for bad language mods lol) 2x skill. How is that even fair? Let's not talk about all the pointless time spent on epic collecting items /tomes / karma that now have no value and no use because NO ONE PLAYS ON EPIC ANYMORE

Same. I love a good looting, but if someone asks for something back, not a problem. Animals, though... you will be lucky if they're still alive, I'm afraid.

I am 100% committed to Wurm and never stray. You could say it was love at first sight when I fell down a hill and twisted my ankle looking at her beautiful scenery...and it has remained that way ever since. For me the honeymoon period is still not over. The Dev team is constantly working with the players on new ways to keep that 'loving feeling' very much alive, it's a partnership! ...and so whether we'll be celebrating our 10th anniversary or even our 20th together, I am very content with the prospect of a long and happy future.

So in honor of my 400th post Here is a photo from my new deed on Release

I recently updated my hardware and I am amazed how much better Wurm looks now . The beauties of the modern renderer with full graphics settings:

Funny how this came up. The other day i was fantasizing that if it was up to me i would limit car speed limits to 30 mph (50 kmh). With the exception of emergency vehicles and show or racing vehicles. I've done stupid things in my time like ride a motorbike at 92 mph, and another time totaled a car for speeding and losing control of it on wet pavement. Admittedly caused by my own stupidity. But I've also seen families ruined by momentary stupidity of a family member, or a strangers. Ill keep fantasizing i guess. As for politicians, their first rule of thumb is "Divide and conquer". As soon as they get a following, even a minority, they're set for life.

Hello all Since Tich's passing and some of my best times in Wurm were with my friend Yuri making massive bridges on release(great times) i decided a fitting tribute to Tich who i hear had a major part in bringing bridges live to wurm, was to build a 48 tile long X160 high decorated bridge dedicated to her. I started the week she passed and have been busy in RL but it's finally finished i think:P (Thanks to Savronne who come along with me to build bridge) Everything on the bridge was made by me and coloured by me,i named the bridge "Dedicated to Tich 2018" i named the brazer "eternal flame" and plan to maintain all items as long as i continue to play wurm online.

probably wont look like this anymore but this happened. double riding unicorns. another little trick that i bet most people dont remember now is that you if you are sliding off a cliff with no stamina you can balance yourself in the middle of broad trees,and rest there to get stamina back. this could save your life in some situations.

Independence somewhere. Totally forgot the name of the place. Was in awe of this build so much I had to turn round and grab a screenshot. The same day, I went to Dragon Fang mountain for the first time. Even in the fog it looked pretty daunting.

One of the reasons I will probably never move Great views. ?

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

I love the net fishing. Sheltered under a willow tree as the sun rises, this is pure bliss.

After 3 months, I've finally finished my bridge it's 168 tiles long, 2 tiles wide and connects my island to the finality island on Xanadu.

My favorite are oldies but goodies... 1-Age of Empires 2 2-Age of Empires 1 3-Banished 4-Age of Empires 3 5-Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

Awesome castle on Sklotopolis (C) Djpzycko from Sklotopolis https://sklotopolis.freeforums.net/post/24153

...wait...there are OTHER games!?!?! ???

I don't know about top 10, but games I still play: SWG (emu!) Civ 6 (and 5) (and 4) Cities Skylines The Sims (all of them, really) SimCity 3000 Banished (Colonial Charter mod makes it an entirely different game) Shroud of the Avatar (great community though I'm terrible at games that require fighting) Legend of Zelda (original and the Adventures of Link--I will always love these!)

Xanadu version of the Night King

Found some old pictures from a raid we had on the Jenn Kellon capital on elevation in September of 2014!

Another house dead on my deed, would rather make it useful than destroy it.

Foggy sunset over Pristine

Aaaaand the hot tub

Worked a bit on decorating my house - probably not quite done here yet, but it will have to do for tonight:

Awesome picture. When i see other peoples builds it makes me motivated to build new cool stuff and then i realise that in 2 years i havent managed to put a roof or second floor on my workshop so these builds are kinda out of my league

I had way too much fun running around taking screenshots of my most recent projects with high graphics settings: (And a few more can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/E507ZT2 )

I see you, Jackal.

My main hobby is scale modeling in my spare time

well.. i wear silicon earplugs all waking hours. so that's nice. not so much pollution here, i think you'd like it Shaktara but the noise of the traffic in a popular seaside town fast becomes unbearable if u have to hear it everyday. Yes, Wurm is a happy escape if you don't have to listen to the construction site drone of 100,000 cars zooming past your window every day. because that.. murders creativity. One thing i have wished for over the years, is to be part of a friendly alliance. In years, i haven't found one. that's the only thing missing for me. I read all the comments, good stuff. it's not always easy to self-program a delusion that there are no greedy predators `playing` but when the delusion holds, it's an awesome game. dude most `offline friends` are not `true friends` the heart knows.
