Come party with the folks of Release, we invite you to join us in slaying this one eyed fiend! Slaying the Kyklops will give the title "Giantslayer". When slain, every premium player in local will receive blood. Mixing Kyklops blood with source salt will create a potion of leatherworking. Loot will be rolled among all participating slayers (limit one roll per person, no alts) LOCATION: N14 ingame map / Y31 X18 community map - Just west of the southern entrance to Heavy Metal Canal. Right on the coast so no need to drag alts ashore! Accessible from the west via The Hollow Canal, north via Heavy Metal Canal & Great Northern Canal, and south via Quicksilver Canal.

So come to find out you can pack then pave tiles that are fully submerged(I would assume any depth but my tests were 25 dirt deep). However, you cannot cultivate a tile should it be say the wrong one, perhaps just the NW corner is underwater, or even trying to remove reeds/kelp. Sure of course you can drop dirt, then have the need to dredge it out, but that is a long roundabout way to correct the issue. So simply, remove the restriction to depth for cultivation to make easier correction of packed tiles.

I want to make books with collections of poems, ballads, and battle accounts but when books and the paper inside take damage even when placed as a decoration.... Having a little library is pointless. Paper inside a placed book should take zero dmg, until this is fixed and the gui/process for writing is improved, it may as well be under the toys skill.

I'm almost to my 8th full year of playing wurm. I candidly enjoy it as much today as I did at the start with regard to the features and the endless possibilities of things to do and reasons for places to go. Since joining there have been regular game updates in functionality as well as new features and eye candy that keep me interested. I'm someone that likes to explore all aspects to the game and therefore often in many different places randomly setting upon a task or sometimes just freelance roaming about letting the game take me in a direction or activity. I play the game for entertainment, some escapism, and relaxation. It has been a good value in that regard of what it gives back to me for what I put into it. Over the years I've had encounters that have been joyous and not so joyous. The down experiences are often brief and limited, while joyful moments more regularly populate my hours of play. When playing , often I'll watch netflix, or amazon prime, listen to music, or chat on discord with fellow wurmians. To that end it has been relatively even keel and has afforded me the gifts of meeting some amazing people and building lasting friendships without ever a bump in the road. Over the last 9 or so months, it has been peculiarly different. There seems more tension in the air, players perhaps in heightened angst are chewing on each other more than normal in a community so well known for being far above the gaming average in community kindness, maturity, helpfulness. Moreover, players often socialize in a variety of mediums/manner sharing and making connections of substance where it's not uncommon that people extend beyond the game realm and into parts of their real life and support each other through good and bad. One of the beauties of wurm is that there is no one way or correct way to play it. There is also something for a great variety of play styles and personalities whether it be crafting, exploring and salvaging, combat play against other players, becoming merchants hawking goods for profit, being engineers building networks of roads, bridges, tunnels to connect wurmians to each other across the vast landscape, hunters of meats and hides, or the ultra class of player that wants to skill to the maximum in as many categories possible or amass skill titles for bragging rights. With that said it's hard to imagine where someone doesn't belong other than those that cheat in some manner of the game whether by fraud, mechanics exploit, account theft, or being an extremely toxic player stealing other's joy of playing. It hasn't been until recently, that i'm really finding it harder at times to hold on to that joy of playing and feeling part of and accepted in this community. There has been some ongoing needling at the way in which I speak, the length, the word choice. Sometimes being an independent thinker sharing thoughts that may depart from group mentality has caused ire. Sometimes talking at all is met with complete non response leaving me to question myself as if there is something perhaps wrong in what i'm doing. This oddly has not come in any meaningful way years prior. At times it has me question whether I continue to play or not, not because i don't enjoy the game but that I don't enjoy how I'm made to feel being just me. As I have not changed in any substantive way over the years, I'm of the thinking that this must be either an overall atmosphere change to wurm community or it is related to the company I keep, who and where I socialize. I'm not convinced I'm so different or some aberration. When looking over the years at the wurm community and considering those that have been removed from the game as problem players, I don't see there is any commonality there either. What I am convinced of is there are others in the game either like me or would appreciate my way of being and my style of game play. I'm not solely a pve player nor pvp player, I sometimes dabble in selling some goods and services for the fun/immersion aspect to the game yet by no means any prolific seller in any regard. I tend to just play, doing a little of everything and eventually amassing skill along they way vs any intentional grinding. It keeps me from burnout. I also tend to rather play the game as an exploration of some far away land and derp vs for skill titles or profit selling. I am betwixt. Part of me thinks it best to leave wurm. A greater part of me has plans to consolidate my deeds, disbanding the bulk living in one location. Another endeavor is to make a large scale "hiking" trail around xanadu meant not for prizes or contest other than the contest within yourself. A trail that is meant as an experience of a different kind where what happens along they way organically builds an experience or who you choose to take the journey with and the laughs and predicaments you find yourself in while travelling. If any of what you read speaks to you, I'd like to hear about it, here or in pms. This is just an open ended thought log meant to convey what's on my mind recently and what I hope from it. I'd like to find others to do some activities with that are more aligned in this manner. I've not been super successful, of recent, in venues and activities I've taken part in.

Also for the chess board lovers !

Making it so books dont decay would be amazing. Imagine if they had been in since the start, all the tales that could have been wrote in them... some deeds decay and the containers with it but leaves the books behind.

Here's the wiki for book: https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Book Interesting, but not mch iunformation. I looked att the wiki for paper sheet: https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Paper_sheet So does that mean a maximum of 400 words, if everyting is quality 100? That's a solid amount of words per page, but only 10 pages in a book? And no question marks? Anyone who has used this can tell me how it compares to books in Ultima Online or, say, Asherons Call? i want o know how it compars to other MMORPGs. It baffles me it took this long for Wurm Online to finally have books. Writing books in Ultima ONline was easy. Sadly, not so easy here it looks like.

When You know your just having to much fun with decoration and doing crazy things . My diggers want to dig a peat tile. My miner want to open my tunnel !!!

My biggest player impact is the group I got in from the start. Yuri is great and so helpful, warlock what can I say . He took a week of his precious time to help terrorform my land. Fairy for have a keen heart and her crazy colors. Eli she was the one who got me into the game. Earl who showed me the wonderful rare statues. These people showed me greatness of wurm. Also tell st abby that his chateredral is turning out very clean and nice looking. All the amazing builds I have seen on wurm!

Create a /support ticket and we will move them off your deed!

Ah this was such great read, I read it twice. Like cornbread sopped into some left gravy on a plate I had to savor again and catch each bit. You truly captured the essence of a wurm i know, started with, remember through out. Much the same as you noted the climate of late being tense..so many have concurred that it must be so. One pm I received intimated it may just be cyclical and they've seen it do such before and passes to resume this quirky great place we love. Likely some purging or flushing happens. There are many ways to play and great people out there and things afoot to do, i'm quite happy to hear you are doing just that in a jovial way. It shows also in your chat and each time i've pm'd you about some archeo item you have up for sale. I can tell you are having a good time and that overflows onto others...ty for the time and thoughts here, for it made my day. Logging into wurm I received some challenging news so the ebb n flow , trials and triumphs continue. May your exploring keep you uncovering a bounty or richness in many dimensions!!

Well said I love the community and the game play , yes I have become a merchant in the game to do so. Yet I find it fun going to places trying to get lost to stumble onto the next treasure I may find along and adventure along the road. Often I find myself at awe at the crazy parts of Wurm online. Even though I have just started this game there is so much tension in the air. It seems that people think they have to battle over things when stuff can be figured out and if people worked together rather then fight over the little things wurm is great. Were it helps is when you can get into the community and find people that have played this game for a long time. If anyone wishes for fun they should stop trolling over little things look at wurm and get into a big community project. I love the little alliance I am part of so many helpful people playing that brought me up as a new player were I once was digging. Then building the dirt right back up because I was tabbed playing wile they were all laughing and getting a good kick out of watching me do the same event over and over. That is what makes wurm fun the odd things the unique events , not the fact that everyone plays in a different way. We should all treasure our own time and find something unique that passes our way and also if you ever find yourself in release bloodscythe your welcome to come by and I would stop everything to give you fun without really thinking about my little wurm body dying and loosing skill . Pffft to that is half the fun !

I also recall that nesting magic chests doesnt work to protect decay, I will run a test on the test server for it and update this thread later

Y36, X9 on those islands, I deeded the entire island not sure where you want to put the annotation. The deed name is "The Halls of Mandos"

At first I wondered if wise to make a post of this kind yet the responses received both here and in pms has assured me I wasn't off course. Some comments I expected, yet I didn't expect many to take time to put down thoughts or the heartfelt pms. That takes more effort, time , and courage, as well as care. I thank you for that. It also affirmed what I suspected to be in that others not only had similiar observations but were in some ways having experiences of this nature as well. This not only gives me the notion that it was a timely post, yet also gives me hope some may change as a result, and or others will be buoyed in knowing they are not alone. Of the good suggestions, I wanted to highlight the general essence of them in that, to take things with a grain of salt, take breaks from time to time from game, and another useful was to turn off GL chat from time to time and only use local, alliance, village tabs to screen out constant complainers or doom deliverers. Their remains good in the community that still holds the helpful, resourceful, cut above the rest players we've come to know of wurm over the years. As the game evolves it's good to know some things remain and unlost. Once again to all that took the time to read, let alone comment , I Thank you.

The Large Magical chest has not left my deed. And it is secured in my house on deed. The deed currently has over 200 days of upkeep. So no idea why it would decay like that. Thank you Nomadikhan for adding some further detail to this!

Wintry evening

If Sn00 will win every duel, will he take over Wurm and send us to mines?

I miss you bud. Great, reliable and a trustworthy guy.

Maybe someone should go over to the tar/clay pit, dig around a bit and look in that BSB...

I think I understand where Bloodscythe maybe coming from on this topic. Sometimes WURM seems unthusiastic, but also the last year I have noticed we lost a lot of long term players who were fairly entrenched in the game and community. I don't know if they have left due to burnout or at times seemingly lack of new content. I know the DEV team has a bunch on their plate. WURM is so unique and has so much potential, I fear what will happen if it goes away. I dread that day. There is no game like it at this point in time. Lately it does seem like the community tends to gnash their teeth more at certain threads. We are better than that, and we are all unique individuals and shouldn't be gnashed at for expressing our thoughts.

maybe is this guy:

Thank-you for holding the sermon group!

When you play Wurm all day you don't always have time to decorate the yard...This idea might help!

Okay... What? ?

Thank you for continuing to support my need for raspberry pinkness in the world
