I'd like to see forges and ovens have no tool or cast iron pots/pans on them, by default. I like placing stuff on them and it doesn't look so good when they overlap. I'd like to place my supreme frying pan on the oven without it glitching over the default one embedded in the oven model. Remove them! Let us do the decorating!

Because what you want just gives the players more fuel to hate on each other with. The comunity doesnt need more division plenty already exists and things like this goal show a disconnect with reality.

Useful how? so you can be passive aggressive to them over supposed ownership of a cast or something?

Now that we can place stuff like that on the furnaces ourselves, the built-in pan models etc. do get a bit confusing.

I had known of Eir for years and years and we had a healthy respect for each other but we had not met in-game. The day I met her in Wild was on christmas eve. She was sailing the southern edge of wild. I was chasing her in a sailboat and kept telling her to stop. She said ohhh no you are not going to catch me to kill me. I finally overtook her gave her a kiss and hug and said merry christmas hun. That started the friendship that has endured factions and space between us. Me being from the midwest and her way way out west. After that meeting I often went to DC to help her either in the mines or dropping or delivering dirt to her. Yeah I did help her beef up DC so we couldn't raid it. I always asked for hazard pay as the guards were not friendly as I was a white lighter. She always said what are you complaining about... they are just puny guards... sheesh they wont hurt you. I would go yeah one wont but when I have 10 on me its not fun. She would just laugh and come help kill them then back to work.

As it currently is, rotating with that option goes off the servers response for which direction you're facing, instead of the movement from the client side, leading to an extremely jumpy camera on higher ping. Should really be based off the direction you're moving client side. https://i.gyazo.com/13c1c79b194c1ad9bd253380e918f0e8.mp4 for example, alternating between holding down a and d

removing the ability to cast a Rite if you have already done so potentially leads to a situation where there's no priest able to cast. Once this rush (ok, its a very slow and bottlenecked rush of existing priests already with the required faith and channeling, but you get the idea) to do it for journal goals is over and there's no one waiting in the wings ready to cast - what then? Back to them being as rare as hen's teeth. Especially given the current wurm population. Also, maybe when someone offers to let you join in casting with them, you don't turn around and tell them you plan on doing it later and they're not welcome as there's no room. People had their chance today and cut of their noses to spite their face. If people were more relaxed, flexible and less uptight about getting in on a Rite, there would probably be a lot less sniping. Changing the journal goal makes most sense, to me.

Hear, hear. Same goes for altars and probably a number of other models.

I know. What a source of drama this will be. But if bad actors keep messing this up, we have more of a foot to stand on complaining to the devs to make the change this system obviously needs since there was an effort in good faith (pun intended) for the cooperation they appearantly want to see so badly. Without even an attempt to organize anything publicly, we have but ourselves to blame that global casts will only be done by shadowy groups who ask noone on the outside to come join. So even at the risk of being the laughing stock for even trying this, I'll propose a collective waiting list for Global casts. And maybe I'm just too cynical and pessimistic and this works out surprsingly well. Time will tell. In order to keep this fair and transparent (at least internally, no accounting for said snipers.), I suggest prioritizing people by their progress through their Benediction journal. Further information that should be provided is the deity / ritual to participate in (obviously) and the channelling skill (to maximize links.) So each entry would be screenshot of the journal channeling skill Deity / Ritual to participate in Timezone would also help, though precise times will have to be organized towards the respective ritual being fully charged. Worst case scenario someone with less progress may get the link because everyone else is online at unreasonable times, though this may be prevented if all casts can be scheduled for weekends The journal progress is only a tiebreaker for cornercases - it might be that you can't be arsed to do any of it without the cast. That's understandable. If you can reason that the rest can be done within a month, I don't think it's grounds for not giving a link now because someone happened to find a champion before you or something. It's just something I'd consider to respect the hustle for those who do want to do the work up front. At large, I'll try to keep this in a FIFO order. I myself have a Fo and Vynora template priest each, so I'll keep track of those. If someone wants to track the other rituals, feel free to shoot me PMs about it. Ritual of the Sun participants: Holy Crop participants: Rite of Spring participants: Rite of Death participants: Time and place can be organized between the participants, this thread is mainly to provide a platform to facilitate the organization. I can summon to my cathedral/workshop though which has veggies and altars at request, and will provide food and beds for whoever wants to stay longer. Update:

Your friendly local Cele-beastie breeder, in conjunction with Port Benden Alliance present: ~~~All the Pretty Horses~~~ Selling perfect 5 speed horses of all colors. Also, I do not sell anything older than Aged horse, unless it's cleared with the buyer. Please feel free to PM Atheline in-game, or send me a message here on the forums, for whatever color/gender combinations that you desire. I can also do custom breeding upon request. Unlike most other breeders, I personally offer FREE DELIVERY of 4 horses at a time to any coastal Freedom location, provided that your sale amount totals at least 2s. If the total is less than that, I round up to 2s to cover my time. Need to keep the cages that the horses come with? No problem, just add 25c per cage to the total. Price List: *New color horses (skewbald pinto, black-silver, appaloosa, chestnut, gold buckskin): 1s ea. *Jet horses: 50c ea. * Oldest colors (grey, white, gold, black, brown), blood bay and piebald: 25c ea. *70+ql horseshoes enchanted w/ WoA: 50c ea. *Creature cages (50+ql cages with lock and key): 25c ea. *Creature transporter (50+ql empty with lock and key): 50c ea. *other equips: tba.

Why have you still not removed or jerk-proofed the rite journal goal? Time and again, rites have been sniped from those of us trying to organize group casts for everyone's benefit. Time and again, this sniping has been pointed out and alternative goal mechanics have been suggested. So ... Why do you continue to heavily reward PvP-style sniping and punish PvE-style cooperation among PvE players? To put it bluntly, from a player's perspective this is starting to feel like a mindf*ck. This is not a suggestion thread; we have plenty of those already. Please limit discussion to answering these questions. Non-devs, feel free to offer your own theories about the rationale at play here. First post below reserved for summary of answers and/or theories.

A change like that I could get on board with. E.G. Change the goal to something like; Contribute [ridiculous number] points to your deity's overall favor pool. or something similar. LOL, it's not like there aren't already plenty of those out there. I wish you luck, but I've been trying to hold the Devs accountable for their own actions for years, and it's still a struggle to this day. Perhaps we just need more people doing so.

It really sounds like there being a maximum number of links is the current main problem that forces the community to fight each other in regards to rites, and based on what I saw the two casting groups may have casted together as one otherwise. The mechanic forces tearing apart of community instead of working together.

You're making this sound like it's purely coming from a place of entitlement. But you don't actually get around that question because who's claiming ownership, really? The people trying to organize the cast in a fair manner so that everyone has a shot at it or the person who just takes it for themselves? (Being fully aware they sniped an attempted organized cast, this is irrefutable as the person proposed to organize a cast of their own. Probably hasn't though, and used the bare minimum of priests to do it in such short notice.) No, I don't own the cast, despite running 15 Fo alts at times to get this crap show going, because that's how the mechanics work. Neither do they though, so my contentions to this clearly selfish behaviour are not rendered invalid by this fact. But for what it's worth, I agree with your sentiment, even if it's reasoned in a way I clearly have to object to. I'm not namedropping myself because shaming is petty and useless, and I don't see the use in making the game do it for me anymore than it already does. I'm with Sme on this. Change this goal up or drop it. As it is, it only creates resentment, division and frustration. Just like everyone with half a brain predicted it would.

Just fix the journal to not expect the community to work together, it doesn't work I don't know why they think anything is different from before.

And/or add a new stair type, ramps!

I don't think the actions of a single person years ago that he did without the suggestion in question are a good reason to not add QoL improvements but that's just me

Well, when I last played on Deli before 2014, there was this one guy who "owned" one quadrant of the server, in the north east, and he did that by placing off deed houses all over the place so no one else could deed, and if they deeded close, he would grief them until they quit. Lowering material requirements would just make this kind of behaviour easier, instead of the current behaviour, where people actually have 10 deeds with alts to avoid having any real neighbours.

Well, I might, if there were perhaps a reason to do so. But at the moment there just isn't. Back in the day, I would think that a majority of players on freedom had the desire to skill up because they wanted to be competitive in some area of the market - Be that Smithing, Carpentry, Masonry, Butchering, whatever. Reaching that level of sufficiency allows one to "play to pay" for their deeds and premium, which I believe is Wurm's #1 attractive feature, if it's not #1 then it is a close second or third. On top of that it used to be generally accepted that moving over to Wild (Chaos) was some sort of inevitable pilgrimage that all players made once they were ready, though not all stayed. PvP in Wurm has always seemed like big-boy Wurm - To most of us it's just the way the game was meant to be played - And it 100% is, because the game was originally designed with PvP at the very core of the game's function itself. (this has been discussed elsewhere) But in the current day, where's the incentive? I can spend a month or two cheesing the skillgain algorithm on a new account until I have 4 or 5 80-90+ skills, and then what? There's hardly any kind of a market left anymore to be competitive IN, let alone the fact that 75% of the players left are vets anyways whose standard of adequacy is nothing short of 95QL with 90+ enchants on literally everything. PvP is virtually non-existant - Epic is a ####ing joke - Chaos has an average of 5 people online in the entirety of a massive 4k size server - so it's not like there's any possibility for people to look forward to getting into PvP any more. There's just no incentive to play, nothing to keep people going, especially for new players IMO, because all the unique rewards and possibilities for one person to get ahead, have all been squashed. And on top of that, the core PvP features of the game that have tied the game's community together so well for so long, are starting to unfold. So to answer your question, I would have when I fist started - But if I was a new player today? Hell no, I would bury this game in my browser history and let it continue crumbling into dust just as a majority of our new players already do.

If you still have the leggat, I'd like it. 80c? In-game name is the same as forums.

Wurm needs a fresh start, otherwise it slowly dies with people who pretend they care about the game. I really don't buy into this idea, that just because you've played this game for so many years, and call yourself a "veteran player", that you actually have the success & future of this game in mind. Nobody is bigger then this game, it doesn't matter how much you paid for your account or how hard you grinded... Its the sort of over justification that kills games. Imagine being a brand new player to this game and knowing how much investment it would take to be where most of us are now... would you bother?

v59 update! I'm making a liar out of myself again and adding things to this, since it turned out to be less difficult than I thought. I've added sheep-shearing to the skill grinder! Difficulty is based on sheep/ram age and your current skill, with difficulty being lower for younger sheep/rams. It goes by age category, not numerical age, so every "mature" sheep is just as difficult as any other "mature" sheep. At this point, if there are other actions/tasks in-game people would like to see added, please post them here and I'll see whether or not it would make sense to add them, or if I'm even able to.

Thanks for everything Eir.We had some good times at DC. Will miss you.

Very sad news, I don't really browse the forums at the moment but when I saw this thread by sheer chance through my Twitter notifications email, my heart sank. Eir was always a good friend, I'd regularly talk to her ingame when she was on her Qualia account chasing up GM calls. She even once brought me a dead BL tower guard corpse for my birthday lol. Very sad I never got to play directly alongside her, but even so she was far more of a friend than anything else. She had a good heart and soul and was kind. Rest in peace old friend, you'll be missed. My thoughts are with your friends and family. <3

It appears I couldn't handle high quality scissors very well and accidentally cut of my own hair while attempting to shear some local sheep!

So sad to hear you pass and hard to fathom. I loved to receive the occasional email with recent news about your recent Wurm endevours, thoughts about cancer treatments and learning stuff like the Budwig Protocol. You were always so loving, caring and kept my hopes high although I sensed your struggles. Thanks for all you've done for Wurm and the community. Rest in Peace, Janice.

Rainbow on Inde the other day

I had a nice view when leaving Deliverance

"When dogs were still green". (Guess the year )

"You shall not pass!"

The friend-a-long at Friendship bay is winding down. Sometimes cleaning up after the guests brings an unexpected surprise.

Thornwood, Grapewood, Hazelnutwood, Camelliawood, Oleanderwood, Blueberrywood, Lavenderwood, Lingonberrywood, Raspberrywood, Rosewood.

I hate to correct a post... But lets be honest here: TeeeBOMB screenies ?

Contemplative tower guard watching the misty mountains as the fog rolls in:

Magic! Fort Allery on Deliverance

common old setting fault - enable VBO as core in compatibility before running the game. (setting tree render to extreme for good measure) i'm reliably told that the default is `on`.

Some of my favourite views on Indy, took the screenies during the Indy Event

it's so calm

My view while I sit and cast

Total solar eclipse (by Jackal):

Dragon magically mounted it's head on my wall with other dragon skulls. What insane luck I have.

Loving the rainbows again ?
