gg gift.. any chance to have it's weight reduced? Googling around the weight of these things.. it's several times lower than the 5.5kg we are carrying around now, it's one of the heaviest tools in the game atm

Yep, you read that correctly. We got you another one. Loot will be rolled among all participating slayers (limit one roll per person, no alts). Location is within local of water and will be added later in the week. Please be reasonable with bringing alts again, thank you ❤️ Thanks to Nineol for the penning assist. Location is about N13. Access available by canal from all sides. Location is close to the water. Deed name 'Cheesy Wotsits'

What is right? Amount of content and skills. The game has so much it's almost infinite, at least for new players. For veterans, ok, new content is always welcome, but new players are actually a lot more important to the game. There is plenty to do for years. It would be more beneficial to streamline, fix bugs, make existing thing more enjoyable than actually adding new stuff. Terraforming, building houses, roads. Crafting. It's all fantastic. Exploration. Can be a lot of fun and danger. Also rewarding if you find old decaying settlements. Deeds. It's great to get to own some land What is wrong? The price. Wurm is too expensive for what it is. I think 16 euro for 2 months is ok, but then I would like to have at least 3-5 characters. Add to this the cost of deeds and it get too much. I know some people say that they never have to pay with real money, but I don't believe in that, maybe if are a veteran and take account selling and such into account, but I don't do that and new players will not do that for a long time either. Combat. The PvE combat in Wurm is terrible. Extremely boring and repetitive. I never understood why nothing has happened to this aspect of the game since many years back. Minor adjustment, have been done to damage numbers etc. but nothing that really made a difference. LAG. Xanadu.. something is wrong with it. Dividing the player base. Almost everyone seems to agree on this and yet it keeps happening again and again. New servers, Epic, WU... Complex game mechanics. New game mechanics are great, but why do they have to be so complicated? For example the new cooking mechanics sounds like a great addition, until you realise you need high ql meat, fish, vegetables, tools, fires.. etc etc. It's going to take a new player several years to get the skills to do anything useful. Most people just give up is my guess, I know I have almost done so and I actually have a lot of the skills needed already. It's interesting and very thought out game mechanics, but sadly almost nobody will have the time to enjoy it.

Bringing old players with all their stuff and skills would defeat the whole point of a full steam fresh start experience.

Sneak peek of the deed and the foe

Well my two cents worth or get banned one of the two haha, WURM Sandbox Adventure PVE/PVP Game??? Sandbox: Yes, pretty good for crafting all around. Adventure: No (other rifts which are so looooong and boring) where is the adventure. I have suggested dungeons, ruins, maybe deserted islands we can't deed that have ruins and dungeons that have things to do with Jackal or the WURMian Gods. Thats adventure. Did any of the Devs every play Dungeons and Dragons? Come on get your fekking dice out and learn what people want in a game. PVE: Boring, needs something more link it with ruins and such, dungeons, something for the love of the Gods, make it not boring. PVP: Look at popular pvp games that are thriving and see what those players want then bring that to WURM, make sieging more realistic and more realistic castle walls or something I don't know, (throws empty scotch bottle) Sail time on Xanadu: Shrink the server borders or something, it takes 2 hours sometimes to sail between servers where the other servers are 30 mins tops. Portals: You Devs say neigh but when it takes a half day to travel to a rift as they are always in south Xan, and a half day back, why can we not have portals to the Starter towns? We used to have enough players with priests who would gladly summon for a modest fee, but oh hey you have banned or ruined the game so many people have given up, quit, or been banned or friends have been banned they went somewhere else. We players are the investors per say and if this was a company and we were stock holders, i think we would be having elections or seeking new employees to fix WURM Lastly, I hope Gamer's Chest People are reading the forums and seeing whats happened and will do an amazing job to fix WURM, it has so much potential, such as, I could someday seeing a WURMIAN world based on the Forgotten Realm world with enough player base to run awesome campaigns, ya ya i know i dream a lot. But it is possible. Anything is possible if you dream it,

What did actually happen to it? From what I can see, it has actually gotten better as a game. So, it's rather what happened to the world around it? Or do you mean WU?

Just a random picture taken during daily commute.

I would love to see more species of trees, I know Haven and Hearth have 47 species, each with its own skin, would love to see more fruit trees like peach, pear, plum, quince. Maybe more soft woods like Silver Fir, Blue Spruce, larch, Cypress, Juniper, Sitka Spruce, and more hardwoods like Alder, Elm, hickory, beech, poplar. Also bushes like black current, huckleberry, maybe some like holly and such that would have berries for brewing poisons.

It's actually more of an attempt to introduce new players to the game through a new front; Steam. They've made it clear that we're not going to be abandoned here on Freedom, and the influx of new players on Steam may result in some choosing to come play here on a more established cluster.

At the (wu)sklotopolis impalong with GLSL off, im getting 10-25fps with 4gb on the laptop i mentioned (yours is faster). (low to low to medium settings) Course this is windows home (less clunk) and i've tweaked the hell out of it. As mentioned it's 25-50fps elsewhere. Tried it with linux, ran faster. You do need more than 4gb especially with shared memory systems. I am always aware of what the machine is trying to do and u can tell how much it hungers for more RAM. still, perfectly playable, might even be tolerable for 12 hour sessions when outputted to a bigger screen. Brash offers fair advice but if you are technically minded and know how to discipline windows 10 you can squeeze quite a decent experience out of minimal hardware. This is Radeon R2 (dual core AMD E9000) i cannot speak for Intel HD. the max im getting in this scene is 26fps, the lowest 18.

I don't think 4 gigs of ram on Win 10 is going to be that workable, in my opinion. I mean, it would probably work, but I would think it would be very frustrating and would crash a lot. I also would recommend a dedicated Radeon or NVidia graphics card if you can afford it. For whatever it is worth, I have a $100 secondhand laptop I had picked up for travel, I don't really like playing Wurm on it because it is MUCH less comfortable than my desktop, but it does seem to run the game with what are pretty low specs: Lenovo E440 Intel Core i3-4000M Intel HD 4600 graphics 8 GB ram Win 7 It seems to run WU at about 14-20 FPS. I don't know how much different WO would be, compared to Wurm Unlimited. That's with a LOT of horses and tons of trees but very few people. I expect anyplace with lots of people is going to get worse, and that general PVP, an impalong or a dragon hunt would be impossible. I would probably need to relog a lot if I did any serious travelling. I guess if it were my only choice, it would be better than nothing, but not a system I would recommend. I just personally find laptops-on-your-lap very awkward for playing Wurm, plus it has a pretty small screen. But ... hey, it runs the game. I have not tried it in WO, just WU. I have no idea how different the WO/WU clients are, these days

A truly fearsome fellow

Gud'day Folks! December 28th, 2019 at 13:34 GMT It has been a long six years since I first made this suggestion back in 2013. I want to say "Thank You" to all who supported this improvement in making water travel by boat or ship more realistic in Wurm. I also wish to express my appreciation to the Dev's who went way beyond what was requested, in adding a greater touch of realism. With the capability to vary a boat or ship's speed in steps, and also a slight delay timer changing between speed steps, Captaining a ship or boat is now much more realistic. So we have achieved Mission Accomplished. My thanks again to all who supported this improvement. Forum Mod's, you can now Lock this topic. Warmest regards, Hughmongus Co-Leader - The Albia Consortium Co-Administrator - The Albia Roads Map of Indy

And to follow up from the PM: Java 10 is crashing because its missing the JavaFX libraries. This exactly what I was expecting. WU is not prepared to run on Java 10. Someone with some skill can probably get it to run by adding the missing libraries to Java or WU. But I don't plan to sink any time into tinkering how to get WU to run in Java 10. Hint: Search for how to get JavaFX on Java 10

Like one of these people, but like well over 20 years older. Not gonna say which one though, to protect anonymity and such.

Thanks again @Brash_Endeavors! I missed the ninja-edit until today. I am now home again, graphics card is replaced and it was indeed the 760s fault. I did use your guides when giving my pc's internals a once-over and everything seems fine inside (bar a little dusty - now a little less). PSU is a 650W btw and it came with the rest of the PC when I bought it. Been on with my priest for 10 minutes at high settings, so I guess this thread has served its purpose! 😃

why not let us be priests and crafters? The work is already done, many private servers allow this. It would probably even bring tons of players back. Wurm's greatest strength is the "classless" system, so lets remove the priest class and merge them. The argument of losing premium accounts is no longer valid, the game is mostly empty.

It's affected by the underlying texture, it's not affected by different wood types. That's the general idea, an overlay texture with the given color. That would allow for white paint as well, white dye doesn't really dye stuff white either.

"Back in the day" you started with 10 QL gear. You were dead before you landed a single hit on a pheasant. It wasn't fun - so much so that they bumped up the starting QL of the sword, shield and armor.

So why do I have a brown boat with a black sail?

Location added

After going thru the Golden Valley (?) tutorial - and whatever it's faults, Haven's Landing has to be better than that - I chose Summerholt on Xanadu. An hour and a half later a wolf killed me as I was exploring. I was never able to find that corpse, so of course lost all my droppable gear. Luckily i had pitched my tent, so didn't lose that, but hadn't figured out I could put stuff in it yet. Over the next week or so after I couldn't get free food from the bartender, keeping fed and outrunning mobs were my primary concern, and I wasn't good at either But I was hooked. I found the wurmpedia, and some newb tutorials and what-to-do-as-a-new-player posts, and eventually found out i could bury my dozen or so corpses scattered around the area, rather than dragging them into a bush to hide my shame I occasionally found items scattered around, and several veterans in the area, Jackjones, Huser, and Odr, in particular, helped out with tips, advice and the occasional upgraded tool. Once i joined NEXA, everything became easier as they are a wonderful caring alliance, more than willing to share their knowledge and wisdom. Rather than join Amish Estates, which in those days was a thriving village, I founded my own deed over the remains of an old deed (Mistvaginery's (sp?) place), and set about really learning the game. I think this game should be hard for new players, it's a semi-realistic real world sandbox after all, you wouldn't expect to be able to strike out into the wilderness IRL and thrive right off the bat without any survival skills. And yeah, being in a village and part of a community is easier than going off on your own. Choose your own path, but accept help when it's offered. The thing I struggled with the most, other than the aforementioned food and mobs, was moving and talking at the same time, and learning all the controls and how to do basic things. But that has clearly not deterred me, as I've averaged over 8 hrs a day for the last 2 yrs and change Love this Game!!

I like the idea of that. In practice, I wonder how it plays out though. I have noticed most trolls I have run in to lately have been around bridges - coincidental or not, I loved the idea of that. Imagine a goblin hut. Chance to spawn at abandoned deeds. Green dudes just love scavenging. They stay leashed to the hut so fighting multiples might be common. Last one has a key to hut, where the nasties store their collectables. Random mid ql loot with a small chance of something more valuable. Disappears when looted.

Miniature army forces are growing they are getting everywhere send help

are you forced to? i wasn't aware, and i'm a priest main. the only thing you can't do really is imp and you can just trade casts for an imp or have subordinates friends do that. imping things is beneath holy ones such as myself runes have pretty much all the meh spells in the game on them, i don't see why you'd care about them so much. they use soul depth to attach which priests usually have a lot of so they can use them anyway.

After SWG went poof and searching the internet for free mmo's... wurm online caught my eye. Installed and off i went , grand adventure .After being killed 12 times by a croc on day 1 and seeing a massive pile of my own bodies in one spot lol it was then i realised i should read up on wurm. Which was great because after the intial feeling of doom of being killed this was replaced by the absolute joy of creating your own 1x1 shed to live in.......good times!

Seasons Greetings to you all. May your festivities be joyful and your celebrations merry. http://

I agree. At least if it included serverpacks the benefit would be to server owners not having to worry about people not seeing custom content. Just the modloader without anything is only beneficial to people that can't run patcher.bat 🤦‍♀️ But then again, this move is not meant to make the game any better - they outright stated that they want it to be inferior. It's just a farce to make us less annoyed at being lied to.

Well, it's all a matter of perspective. I - for one - find Wurm better now than ever before. Not forcing my opinion on anyone. Just sayin'.

That's not at all what I hear, but as I said, we're different people with different experiences meeting different people with different experiences. Do I meet a lot of complainers? Yes, but that's just in every avenue of life. I meet a lot of thrilled newbies, long term and still happy folks, and everywhere in between. We have free will and can choose to leave a game we hate or stay and complain. We can find a game we love and play it as long as possible. We can be constructive and try to make it better or try and destroy it if it's not "perfect". That's the great thing about a game with people from all over the world.

I don't get why those who are so negative continue to post on the forums. If you hate the game so much, move on. There are some of us who truly love the game, and appreciate the work they put into it.

With permission of the owner of Astrix, we would like to apply for the community map, rough locations of the city are 45x 54y, exact tile distances will be edited into this post, thank you in advace. With kind regards, City of Astrix edit: used the blue line to mark the lenght from a landmark there, 31 tiles away from it begins the crossroads of astrix and marked astrix main city with the crossed circle

I bought a used server box off ebay and run our servers from home, 200 bux for 12 core and 64gb mem, one time payout

I don't think the RMT is the real cause there. If something is shiny or has bigger numbers, people want it. There is loot drama in every game with loot.

And the real cause is RMT , pure greed above all else cause a lot of Wurms issues . To many use this game for personal cash grab ...

Hi I am alaukzam in game name (domboer) i am a returning player and will like any work if possible Thanks

I find this to rank up there with the "Best of the Classified" and hope that others will point you in the direction of these intruders should they spoil their otherwise peaceful Wurm wanderings. As for me I will not be attending due to preferring other ways to spend my time chasing the renewed rainbow's endings. Happy Trails =Ayes=

and now i just want beer... Also i have been around a while now so the least i can do is join in the fun.

I should bring my old Release alt, Wotsits for the occasion .... Lol.
