My player name started out of a bit of anonymity back when yahoo was still in its early days and we were all using netscape or explorer, or aol or that other one... um compuserv I think.... It was a partial random name that came up when I signed up for something back then and it had a bit of a history behind it from my youth. But its not really a fashionable name, just ended up with it and stuck with it for trying to avoid spam and other undesirable things. I still use it today to keep people from realizing who it was that they were in communication with. Enki on the other hand... A : It was cast up on me by the gods, marking me forever with that name as i ran out of ink to finish the entire name Enkiceptrilimanduvorzarous B : It's my actual name! Check out my license plates! C : Or I came up with it quickly to save Oracle and Rolf a lot of time and headaches trying to contact me. 4 characters, quick to type, and has good lore..

Just gonna copy paste my tale as i just replied to this on the wurm fb page

Quick update as folks have been asking. So we had a rather rocky start to Jackal being in AWS. We picked too small of an instance size to start with. Samool made some server-side optimizations to help with a bit of lag and resource usage. There were configurations required to run a production-level Wurm server that did not show up in testing. This lead to crashes, lag, and more crashes. Jackal couldn't remain up for more than a day without issues. Fixes for all this went out earlier this month, but then we had a rather rocky update last week which resulted in several restarts - not enough time to measure performance and stability of Jackal to any reasonable degree. Our next patch is scheduled for this coming Thursday, which will be over a week of up-time for all servers - including Jackal. That will help us determine if we're stable enough to bring Celebration into AWS. If we're not, then we'll consider other options for the server, such as relocating it on the Hetzner side of things to see if it's hardware.

We are working on many more features and polish before releasing, the game can and will change between now and launch.

Sent to devs for a look. Thanks for the report.

My rowboat. My first big project in Wurm, felt awesome when it was done. Used it to sail to an impalong in 2015, then got sick and was gone for weeks. I was so scared it'd be sunk by the time I got back. But someone had both imped and maintained it while I was gone. Don't get to play much anymore, but a friend now keeps it safe at our town dock for when I can.

Hello, Over the past year, I have learned about a lot of different public documents which exist to support various parts of Wurm Online.

How to reproduce this bug: go on a horse and swing a pendulum in range of something (in my case traitor) get in the position in 1st person first and check results: [23:48:48] The aged Unicorn (traitor) is some distance away in front of you. go to 3rd person view and turn right. swing pendulum again and u get: [23:49:01] The aged Unicorn (traitor) is some distance away in front of you. dont move camera or horse, go into 1st person view now, and u get the correct result: [23:49:09] The aged Unicorn (traitor) is some distance away to the left of you.

I was chatting and joking around in my alliance and how long Xan has been up.. and how long we have all been here.. I seem to be the baby of the group... every one else is old timers.. Sooo I jokingly said that Retro or Enki should gift walking canes.. to any one over 5 years in wurm.. LOL then one of the alliance members continued that thought...... by adding>>> I wouldn't mind a nice walking cane. Have it be used as a weapon, uses staff skill, but also gives +0.25kmh walking speed :D I thought that might be a fun idea!

Just take a look at the hood and the chest cloth both are dyed with the same paint. https://imgur.com/ueEQ3Xy

Objects should show user-assigned names before the description instead of the current format which places the name at the end. For example, if I have made a weapons rack out or lindenwood and rename it "Tools" because that is what is going in it, then it should display as "Tools, weapons rack, lindenwood" instead of "Weapons rack, lindenwood, Tools". Likewise if I have designated a BSB for dirt, then I don't need the description to say "BSB, cedarwood, "Dirt"". I already know it is a BSB because I can see it, and what it is made from is of low importance, but the priority for me is to know which BSB has dirt and which has e.g. stone shards. We name these things to make them simpler to work with, but the names are relegated to after the stuff we can see without even a mouse-over. If I call my huge axe "Giorradair" then I want to see Giorradair first and after that the description that Giorradair is a huge axe made of steel. This wouldn't be hard to implement. I expect the format is already something like object, material, name and a null name simply doesn't display. All it would need is a reorder to name, object, material and a null name simply doesn't display.

thing 4 sal very shine pm offers before i put it on an addy LMS or something

If this is on pvp servers, I cannot help as I'm not really familiar with pvp things. However, on PvE, even though you give alliance permissions to do things, the actual ally deed must give their citizens permission to do things on ally deeds. This is a blue permission under roles at the very bottom. For example, if I'm in your alliance and you give ally permission to dig, unless I check the box to allow my citizens to do things on ally deeds, they will not be able to dig. Check the deed permissions of those having issues to see if that may be an issue. I'm not seeing any permission issues at this time.

20s/month for 12 months? Sigh, why now?

This happens when making any food item that contains a liquid, and you move a partial amount out of your inventory into the container. For example, a cauldron with 44kg of space left, dragging 45kg of liquid from a small barrel will cause a "new" unowned liquid item inside the cauldron. Taking the cauldron into your inventory before or while splitting the liquid will avoid this. If this happens while cooking solid food, such as an Herb Dumpling, the resulting QL will ALWAYS be 20, and receive no skill gain.

If you cross servers you won't get any stamina drain as boatcaptain.

im pretty sure its intended on freedom only, that boat captains dont loose stamina no more. Was in one of the recent patch notes this year

That'll stick with me forever. I forget who called me that first, think it was Tehheretic

My original nickname and first character Mackordian, currently Vynora priest alt in Wurm: just a merge of my two real world names. It was one of my primary nicknames for many years, but over time I slowly phased it out and it just remains in some MMO's where I have very old accounts. My current primary nickname Warlander: completely random nick. I needed new nickname for character in MMO with perma-death (I couldn't reuse the old names) and came up with combination of two random words I came up with at that moment: "war" and "landing". Over time I liked how it sounds like more and more, until it became my primary nick everywhere.

yay 🥳 and btw, nice and friendly seller, would buy again

I do really hate the idea. BUT if its going to happen anyway.. at least make it one time thing! with the account trading gone I could understand it. More than once its just gonna create confusion and make people not trust each other. Wurm has always been unique to me by not allowing name change and being a part from the rest of the every day mmo who allow it just for the money grab.

game makes money from anybody spending 1.35 or whatever amount letting you bring your own design in the game... * downside - pvpers cannibalize kingdoms and kill other/new/ pmks to reduce competition and leave only their t-shirts as option on the market it's not like making a new kingdom on chaos is an option for somebody who just wants to get a thing into the game What currently works as limitation is how many variations or good/bad/odd/etc.. designs you're able to see on the market is again that same downside*.. as if you can't protect your t-shirt factory.. you're bound to lose it, making it questionable investment to even start a pmk on chaos.

… a glitch in the matrix.. I hope you took the right pill.

You're missing the plan to revamp some things and polish the game up before presenting to a larger audience. Releasing now may give more exposure, but at the same time may botch the only first impression WO will get. Seems more conducive to let people trickle in when they find the time once they're busier, but have them find something more worthwhile to stick around in.

Cele lag is server side: http://freedom004.game.wurmonline.com/mrtg/lag.html I just have to quote myself yet 500 times already... AWS will not reduce server side lag. Actually when I measured AWS last time I found out that it even has slower I/O performance to disk in some setups. So after the AWS move we could even see increased server side lags depending on the chosen setup. As long as the Celebration lag is not coming from a hardware problem it will NOT be fixed after AWS move. For everyone reading this: Please stop thinking that AWS will solve all lag problems in Wurm, that is just NOT realistic, there will be a big wave of disappointment. There is a good chance that network problems will be less but also not fixed 100%, there have been similar problems monitored to the AWS network in Frankfurt as they appear with the Hetzner network. Routing in the internet is a big thing and it is often not something an endpoint like Amazon or Hetzner can improve, between some areas the internet is just not as reliable as in others, same as life is not perfect a distributed network is also not perfect.

Many years ago when I first met my husband he called me "Chiqa" I am Hispanic , it was his fun way of honoring that. Over time it became my handle in many circles including gaming. Tho he has passed away I still love the name and use it.

It's my real name, albeit spelled differently.

Finally my Libila colossus is in place:

The Distillary is open *Burp* oopss More on FB Page https://www.facebook.com/Thallspring/

I see everybody here has cool names and stories.. Im really bad at coming up with names haha.. The name of the city I live in translated to English is Sweetlake (or literally Sweeterlake, but everybody here says Sweetlake or Sweetlakecity). So first I wanted to go for Sweetlakesusie, but I wanted it to be shorter so I chose for Sweetsusie. If I had known I would be playing wurm so much and for so many years I would have taken a bit longer to think of a better name lol.. After playing a bit I realized but I already had some skills and didn't want to start over.. So I guess im stuck with this name. My priests name is Cookiedough.. Again nothing fancy, but still better than Sweetsusie I tried a couple of those name generator websites but I didn't find anything that I liked. And well.. I just like cookie dough XD

Some surface mining: They are watching:

Knightshade - knight is mothers maiden name (no security risk in making that public), invented it 30 years ago didn't use it till last year. Woodwhisper - I first got into my spiritual development with Wicca, the name had meaning till i was fool enough to goto Middlesbrough and call myself that on the haxed forums. This is what i used in Everquest 1 and 2. Talonclaw - Just came to me, maybe Farscape helped not sure. an Eve Online dev gave me a little reward for the name about a year after release. Nevynus - Nevyn is a character in a Katherynn Kerr novel. Gaelic word. CyberKnight - my Q2 league name, CTF and AQ2. Stevelee - My first and middle name, lee is from the masculine old english leigh, meaning meadow. (if i was chinese it'd be from Li meaning `plum`) stephen is greek from stephanos. hmm any more.. I used ShadyK on the KISSarmy forums 2 decades ago but i didn't stay long. Thornwind is another one because i used to be angrier than i am now. Qigong i used for my eq2 monk but i didn't invent it.

I created my nick myself, just randomly outta my mind. It was back in 2001 when Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction expansion was released in my country. I made my nickname for my first and best Paladin character, and since then I'm using it everywhere, everytime. Now I'm mostly known by this nickname, even for my real friends. It has become in fact my main alias, so now many people I know for years have really hard times guesing my real name. If you will ever see my nickname in any game or in the internet- it's probably me.

I wanted a Nahjo priest toon as a sidekick, so I was looking for a suitable name. I needed something short, easy to type, and to remember. (Lots of really cool high level players I knew had short snappy names at that time.). I struggled to think of female sidekick characters down through history - until I remembered the famous painting The Mona Lisa - a picture of an enigmatic, quietly smiling lady who was said to be Leonardo da Vinci's muse. I kind of liked the idea of a quiet companion who patiently takes everything I throw at her and just smiles and gets on with it. Hence Muse.

Sme is actually Samuel L. Jackson. Confirmed.

This is kinda old project at M10 on Xanadu, connecting my deed to highway. I actually finished it last December, but never bothered too much with screen shots and always planned to get better pic before posting, but what ever...First picture is from above the crossroad. Second is seen from lake towards same spot and 3rd is the only pic I found showing things more or less before I started (It looks pretty much same, but plenty of mountain, especially dirt layer is already lower than original there). So this was a project I started after opening West Hammer Lake Canals (I'm on purpose saying opening, not finishing, as they are not a finished product. I simply concentrated mostly on other things after opening (and took 2 long brakes from game), as they were passable by any boat as is. Polishing will/is happening over time). Now for this road, I'm well aware I could simply have made a tunnel from Hermit's Rest and connected that to the highway going North/South at M11. But I had done so much tunneling, it was time to do some surface mining then. Besides Hermit's Rest needs a Grand Canyon. Also Hermit's Rest is still mostly unbuilt as a deed, because I wanted to have the road done before committing to any other terraforming. So huge changes to be expected in immediate area in next half a year - 2 years.

To be clear I'm talking about the forums having a "steam" section similar to WU as opposed to simply having servers in the freedom isles section. I have no information regarding any changes about the launches and what servers will be what, don't consider any statement here as part of that

You just described 90% of the recent game changes. But this would defeat the purpose of someone wanting a "new" identity.

Greetings, Mihr Valoel, (already on the Roads Map @ 57x 18Y) is now connected to the CatsEye Highway along Misty Way. 😃

Also, far as I am aware, lag wouldn't effect the server the item is being mailed from, as items in the mail arrive at their destination server instantly, and then wait the X minutes based on the power of the sending mailbox before they become available. This is why you must be on the server you were on when an item is sent to you, vs. being on it within the X time to arrival.

We'll be doing some investigating over the next week or so, see if we can find any cele specific lag for things

yeah +1 Just add possibility to make some design for items like wagons on freedom for 500s why not. so we will make game prettier and don't make pvp players angry I think it's ain't fair that only pvp kingdom have possibilities to bing they own design in game, why so? Somehow better then pve players? Let's hope that we all care about the whole game, not about only kingdom profit Also i'd like to see kingdom / or designed tabards on freedom that would be fancy
