Ron died, his deed fell, and the looters came. They started camping his decaying buildings with eager eyes on Ron's prodigious loot. (His deed was one of the oldest on Xanadu after all.) What they didn't count on was the NEXA clan. We guarded our lost friend's treasure. We entered a cat and mouse game with the vultures, putting up new fences and bashing the looter's fences. We stood, vigilant, in hopes that when the walls fell, we would be there first. In the end, what the pirates didn't count on was the generosity of Rapidron, the man, the legend. On Thursday night, one of our clan members realized he had access to the buildings. Rapidron lived on in the Wurm permission settings! The clan teamed together and squared away all of Ron's stuff, protecting it... If I could have only seen the faces of the looters when they logged in to find the houses empty. (They had a wagon in one house, just waiting for the walls to fall.) This is a story of good vs. evil, better than a Star Wars trilogy! At the ultimate conclusion, it was friendship that won out! We will auction off Ron's stuff, in clan, and donate the proceeds to an animal-focused charity. Ron loved his animals, after all...

Scratch that, was last patch. Was an unintended side effect of the loyalty system transfer option, it was changed to only be available if the option was selected. Will see about having it re-enabled for the month of Feb and update here. Will be enabled on the end of Jan patch for one month until end of Feb patch. This is the full warning and I'll add it in next week's VI!

Just wanted to add 1 more note, we will also be merging spell resistances for PVP servers only into 2 groups, pillar damage and all other spell damage from targeted spells. This should help cut down on the amount of spell damage that could be put out on 1 person in short periods.

People wanted more player, now there are three of them

as of last patch, path of insanitys free swap has been disabled. from what i'm told in ca help, this was an intentional decision that wasn't in the patch notes. From retro's post in the past, there was meant to be a minimum of one months notice that the transfer was ending what happened

Greetings everyone, there shall be a troll king slaying this weekend, everyone is welcome to come slap him, get some stonecutting bloods and maybe even win some loot! slightly inland, 1 loot roll per person Park near serenity harbour and follow the path up, taking a right at the intersection. if you've walked into a field of lava spiders you've gone too far

I tried so hard, and got so far. But in the end, it didn't even matter. I'm still going to finish this install. I can't stop now.

Mate I don't have knowledge of things I said four hours ago

Meh why not....

Part of me hopes this works. Part of me wants to cry if it does. I've spent all morning installing Gentoo on a VM to test this issue.

It's pretty much the only game that I've found where I can just relax and do whatever, especially great when I'm tired at the end of the day. I also love the terraforming capabilities

If you go to the lower floor and click the wagon to put it in your target bar, then back to the floor it "fell" from, you can click "Embark - commander" in the hotbuttons and it should bring it back up. That's something I discovered to try and avoid relogging

Uhhh, buddy, got something to tell you

Back in the days, on technical university, we put our Counter Strike 1.6 server. Common thing that happened, that when you entered it, it was empty. Every day people came in, saw that it is empty and they disconnected. It would take me or other stubborn person, to sit there, for like an hour or two alone, and slowly more people came in. Afternoon it was full of players and others were waiting in a queue to get in. The same analogy is for Epic, or even other more populated servers. Players log in, see that none is there and log out. If some people are stubborn enough to still play, then in future more people will stay. It's just need people to get people : ) If we all gonna say that some server or game at all is dead, and stop playing, then more people will leave. If we gonna try, then more people will stay. Typical avalanche effect.

the staffs hard work at banning toxic pvpers is what keeps me around

Reasons why I continue to play Wurm Online: Looking forward to chatting with folks that have become familiar friends over the years Being able to set my own goals without feeling obligated to participate in 'end game content' Having 3+ years worth of projects to work on, even after playing for 7 years Trying to figure out how to pay it forward for every player that has ever shown me a kindness A relaxing game experience that neither depends on my slowly deteriorating reflexes nor requires my absolute, constant attention Impalongs, and all of the additional player-created events that never cease to surprise me Recent additions like Jackal that result in cooperating with players that I've only ever known as names from the forums Every server that I haven't found the time to visit and explore even after all these years Feeling very connected to the patch of land that has been my deed for this long: the random visitors, the years long shaping of the land, and (surprisingly) the sunsets Loss aversion to WU servers that claim "We'll be here forever!" but vanish once the owners discover how much work goes into curating a well-run server Cheaper than an actual vacation home by several orders of magnitude The bittersweet experience of discovering and exploring a deed that has disbanded - a reminder of our own mortality in all things The fact that multiple players have left this mortal realm in the last 13 years that have been remembered within the game itself (Tich, Oracle, et al.) That WO is an extremely niche game, and frankly there simply isn't anything else like it - even after all this time

Today I held the first Random Enkounter of the new decade. The Randomizer dropped me off in the presence of Quelon on Xanadu. Today he faces three challenges! Challenge #1 Where will you find the biggest crab legs in Wurm? Well now... He guessed on a champion crab.... Nope! There were 2 correct answers to this one, and he only got it 1/3rd right, but not right enough to win the Hammer of Awesomeness. This supreme hammer had multiple functions. First and foremost it could build a wall of any type using only one piece of material and one hit. Second, no Ogre in its right , or left, mind would dare come near you because of the sheer pain this hammer would cause on its toes which would drop an Ogre's health to half in one hit. And thirdly, and most awesomely, it would improve any item to 100 quality in one hit! Oh well, into the void with the Hammer of Awesomeness.... Challenge #2 ......... And Quelon had business to attend to .... Well that was a short Enkounter, but he did end up with some pizza and a round table, and a short sword for playing. He will never know what else he could have won for missing out on the second and third Challenges. Keep your eyes open people! You never know when I might pop in and drop a 1000 ghouls or 388 Iguanas on you. Well, alright so you do know that it won't be within the next 14 days!

What happens in chaos when demigods are removed for those who are BL priests/champions in WL kingdom?? We go to libila and get kicked out of kingdom? Or turn to kingdoms template gods? Do we have to get out of chaos before the removal?

It's the first time I've gone to one of these slayings and I managed to win myself a sweet looking cow hat, thanks for hosting this event!

Cod to Icarusthegreat please!

Last Thursday of the month every month is our goal for the big monthly patches

I think it would be nice if we could design our own deed banners. Even banners for different parts of our deeds such as horse/animal areas crafting places etc.

If you're sure, that shouldn't be too difficult. Firstly, prices are defined in BuyerHandler.getTraderBuyPriceForItem. If you want to add any item exceptions you can do it here (e.g. you only want to accept gems), and then just call the parent method. So something like: @Override public int getTraderBuyPriceForItem(Item item) { PriceList.Entry entry = priceList.getEntryFor(item); if (entry == null) super.getTraderBuyPriceForItem(item); return getTraderBuyPriceForItem(entry, item); } Which will also handle all the local buy price stuff I have never really looked into. The other part you'll need to change is in suckInterestingItems, which decides what items traders will accept, and for Buyers ignores anything not on their PriceList. Starting here. Then you'll need to extract, or copy, this section to add the items to the trade. The stuff inbetween only relates to PriceLists. I think that should be it, just let me know if you have any problems.

Just picked up my first batch. Thanks Clasin!

I'll up myself then lol, 80e

Back to ninja updates like in past. One step forward, 3 backwards. Why i am not surprised?

There was a bug a while back, where tiles that sandstone tiles that were mined out, then collapsed again, would revert to sandstone veins after a server restart again. I am unsure if that was ever fixed. Perhaps this is related?

Yes, I noticed that when I headed back in to the mine... oops. Might be helpful for the tutorial to mention the learning areas. I think I'll have to do a suggestion thread about some small changes to the tutorial. Overall, I must say, it is much, much better than the old one.

Surely, if we are to encourage priest alts, then we should do likewise for crafter alts. Maybe an item so that I can just afk level WS; shall we go the runescape protean item route for crafters?

Back in 2008 night was so dark you couldn't even see a few meters. You had to stop travelling for like 1.5 hours before you could continue. I remember people stopping at my place waiting for the night to be over.

Actualy i would argue that it should be slightly cheaper than 10s but not more expensive, alts army has benefit of having semi decent faith gain when holding sermon every 3 hours that is not negliable expecialy a higher faith beside reseting, proposed item would just reset. And +1 for suggestion, gaining faith is one of the dumbest possible things in this game and using throw away 2s alts should be discouraged by any means possible.

Nights in Wurm are dark enough as they are; darkness is different each season, with some seasons having brighter nights and others being (almost) pitch dark (at least for me, a winter night is definitely way different than a mid-to end fall night, for example). At this moment, I believe nights visibility and darkness are good as they are.

how is it a 100% necessary spell? it'd reduce the chance for affinities due to having less skill ticks, you'd almost always go over the 30 second cap for skillgain with the majority of tools in the game if you got low on stamina due to how the stamina curve on action timer works, and you'd wouldn't use it on anything where you're looking for an end result. you can already do it in the game via some unconventional methods (wounds treated with a power equal to how much they worsen so they never heal, toggling climb, managing tool ql) so its not like its a new mechanic or anything. seems like something that'd have niche purposes and you wouldn't use on everything to me

Thanks for the craftable version! For those curious, here it is next to the festive bedroll. Festive on the left, craftable on the right. @Seriphina aaaaand they are dyable

Give Mag priests a lava spell. It would behave like the meditation ability. This could let Mag priests adjust surface slopes beyond 40. Plus the meditation ability already requires it be used in Mag domain, so it isn't a stretch to let Mag's cast it.

If we're suggesting spells that help Mags theme as a mining god, how about a strongwall spell for floors that reinforces floors

Wurm feels like home to me. When I log into my deed, I am among MY land, MY trees, MY enclosures, MY buildings, looking at MY ships in MY harbour. And why do they all feel so close to me? Because I made them all, exactly how I wanted them to be. I also bought the land and I upkeep it. My land is not some instanced cubicle to decorate that doesn't really have any real estate presence in the world. It actually takes up a chunk of Wurm - my own personal piece of it, and it interacts with it in real time. You can sail by it, you can come in to visit (I have a guest house! ) and you can utilize it in so many different ways. There is a farm there, a shipyard, vineyard, brewery, horses, homes, bridges, kitchens, and soon even bees. My stable has a chamber where I keep my saddles and extra horse paraphernalia. It really is home and I never found another game where all this is possible to such a degree. Perhaps such a game has recently come into existence, but meh... too late for them. Wurm is home already. I am happy here. Additionally - while I understand that there are players who are dissatisfied with them - I absolutely love the Wurm mechanics. I have embraced all the updates and content additions through the years. I have observed the developers understand and maintain this uniquely Wurm atmosphere and play style and support it with their updates that keep that feeling alive. I enjoy how in tune they are with the game feel. Wurm is so much better than when I joined and in so many incredible ways. Again, not a sentiment shared by all - I understand that - but I truly believe it. Have all the updates gone along my wishes? Not all... for instance, I am still not sure how I will adapt to this new third person Wurm that is tearing at the very fabric of my soul. But I will have to find a way. You can't have it all. But most updates were simply amazing. Retro's Valrei International is now my favorite literature, right up there with War and Peace, because of the additions it announces on regular basis. In Wurm, I feel the freedom. I can do what I want, go where I want, experience what I want, and none of that is dictated by a raiding schedule or in-game obligations. In fact, I can leave for a month or not log in on those busy days, and things will still be OK! When I come back, my Wurm is waiting. Just like the theme song promised. I simply cannot explain it, really. I love riding through the forests near my deed and seeing how the trees have grown. I love seeing the sap on the maples and knowing that today is probably a good day to pull out my bucket and the wax sealing kit. I love exploring old deeds and reminiscing about what may have been there. I love sailing (yes, I am crazy like that!). Even the grinding, which is boring and repetitive, somehow doesn't bother me in Wurm. Probably because when I do that, I can hear the birds chirping outside the window that I built, the horses which I raised moving by the fences I made, the water shimmering under my ships in the harbour which I personally shaped. Also, because of how valuable high skills become when you had to work for them for some time. In Wurm, I take things slow... sometimes too slow. I have no raids to attend, no crazy schedules to maintain, no quotas to meet. I have no one to outshine with my gear. In Wurm, CoC or WoA are the desirable enchants, not Swords of Thousand Truths with Super-Cala-Fragalistic Nuclear Chain Lightning charges. In Wurm, my rare leatherworking tools are my most cherished possessions. To me, Wurm is real. And I have only scratched the surface. And now, here I go getting all nostalgic about it. Look what you made me do! But I used to be a crazy raider, power player, intense grinder, high-level competitor, massive guild leader type of a dude. Not anymore. The Wurm Retirement Home is my speed now. And it feels soooo much more fun! So, stop by when you are passing by Garden of Fo on Celebration and say "hi". I will probably be doing something on my deed - something in preparation for doing something else, so that I can do something else entirely which will eventually allow me to do what I really want to do. And it'll probably take me a week just to set up. But I'll be loving every minute of it!

I recently had few months brake with Wurm but now I'am back. Why? Couse, despite of all the flaws, there is no other game like Wurm Online.

I have nowhere else to go.

If you're going to remove player gods, please introduce a 5th neutral god that is boring and doesn't play with the others in PVP that is a good deed maintenance god like Nahjo was.

Hi, my anchor just disappear. I boarded my ship as commander, I saw the anchor in the inventory... but I did "Rise anchor" as always from the ship and everything was fine. Now I can't moore anymore, I don't find the anchor in my inventory, in the ship, is just disappear... And now I'm in the middle of the sea without an anchor... Please help!

Just now seeing this, and I'm sadden by the lost of a great guy that was nice as hell and would go out of his way to do things for people in and out of the NEXA family. It's always sad to see post of this nature about people that not just played a game, but interacted in a way that it impacted so many people from different walks of life. rest in peace Jake and may your larder always be full and your wine barrels brimming. 🍻 🌹

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

been busy in law school, miss my wurm folk

Yes, deedmate must be in red shirt..
