    "It's the peasants, my lord. They don't like the name of the new server."

    Let's get the names right rather than worrying about a competition. We are literally trying to revive the game and names can be more important than people think. If we take the competition over the actual names themselves, we have a potential losing situation with the game itself. The point should be to have 2 good names for the servers. That's it. It shouldn't matter the method so long as the names are good. These names were not good.

    I think many people, including me, suggested names fitting in a current naming scheme. Such names as Independence, Deliverance or Celebration are beautiful. I think this naming scheme should be upheld.

    Ah right, I completely forgot how 297 different people, exactly 90.0% of people who came and voted, is only 'some people', and not an overwhelming majority of everyone who cares about the matter. What you meant to say is that one small part of the results will be changed if the vast majority of the community really dislikes it. You're just completely misrepresenting the situation, Amadee. This is a huge majority of the playerbase, and the winners aren't losing their prizes. They're still getting their 25s, their 6 months premium, and as champIAN points out, they're still getting bragging rights for naming the spawn towns. What is happening here that you are choosing to so plainly ignore, is that CCAB is actually being responsive to the playerbase, recognizing that a wildly unpopular choice may have been made, and giving people an opportunity to show whether that unpopularity is as you say, just among a few noisy people, or is across everyone who cares to have a say (which it is). The competition wasn't a joke, nor is the whole issue. The competition was a great idea, someone or some people at CCAB chose names they liked. The community expressed great concern that those names, one of them in particular, do not suit their intended purpose in the game, so CCAB listened, and allowed the community to help shape the legacy of wurm. That's all there is to it. As lotus said:

    Meh. I am beyond caring WHERE they find the name. 2 problems with the proposal of leaving Wurm team to find a good name not otherwise suggested are 1) it may well be forcing them into an inferior name regardless and around we go again, and 2) they have already shown an ability to make extremely unpopular picks. The fact that nobody is begrudging the prem and silver prizes does I think show that this isn't sour grapes but genuine objection. I do think naming a starter deed would feel a little underwhelming - if not the server it should be a major element of it, like a largish island or major feature/region on the map, for example a large plain called Heartland and a volcanic mountain range called Rumble.

    You do not need to be playing to have a forum account. When the PvP discussions (sometimes dubbed as "forum PvP" 😎 ) raged in 2018/19, nearly half of the posters even bragged not to have played Wurm for some time, some for years, even some alts having forum accounts. So there is no proof how significant the voters` turnout is and how it is related to active players. Insofar, Amadee is right. I would suppose anyway that the backlash against the chosen names was widespread. I feel sorry for the winners of the contest and find the reaction overblown but would not have voted for those names.

    Its ok people don't dislike you they dislike your entry, you still get the prize so what does it matter. Id prefer a team that can accept they made a bad choice than one that sticks to their guns and runs with an obviously bad decision out of stubbornness, like the rift changes.

    They are listening to feedback which is good for the health of the game. It was overwhelmingly negative. You are still getting the prize advertised in the contest thread regardless.

    I find it funny like many people point again names, they suggested, in hope that maybe those would be picked. Devs already have full list of names that were suggested before.

    Wurm has grown graphically in leaps and bounds from my initial discovery of the game in early 2014. I would really love and enjoy a rework of the character creation options (and we do have some wonderful art members on the wurm team) to give more choices in hair styles, hair colors, facial features, and most especially skin tones. It's more than time for this to be added into the options when you make your character.

    maybe put up the top 10-20 names and let the voting help bring it down to top 4 then devs decide

    Make the timer for attaching lock on PVE 2,5sec long. No need for it to be up to 16 seconds long while attaching a lock to a door on PVE. Someone else may pinch in if this has any effect on PVP, but i cant make a suggestion regarding that.

    Jesus christ its like a school talent show competition. The chosen names didnt please the overwhelming majority of the player base. Don't take it to heart, you still get your prize and the names will still be used for the starter towns. I know i must suck but hey ho, there were plenty of players out there who didnt win and arent complaining about not winning.

    Well, I just have to add my own thoughts here since the whole thing is just so disgusting. The "competition" was a joke. This whole issue is a joke. The hold a so-called competition, declare the winners, and because some people don't agree, the decision is overturned. Wow. I guess they forgot to add in the fine print that the results will only be applicable if everyone likes it. The "winning" names may or may not be anyone else's first choice but that's opinions, no more, no less. To be honest those names wouldn't have been my own first choices, but again that's merely my opinion which doesn't make it right, nor should I have the right to demand that my opinion prevail. But as usual, mob-rule wins again. The "win" is taken away from the "winners" because some people are convinced that their opinions are fact, and it will be instead be given to another set of "winners." And the next names chosen may or may not trigger the mob again. What then? Yet another set of "winners?" lol. Everyone seems to think that their own opinion is the only right opinion. And the opinions of a handful of forum warriors does not necessarily constitute a fact, nor do they necessarily reflect the opinions of the average Steam player who never heard of Wurm or even bothers with forums. It might and it might not. Who's to say? The loudest, most vehement, and most persistent? And the names I keep seeing people posting, declaring that "something like this" would be the "correct" choices are no better or worse than the original names chosen. In fact most of them gave me a "groan" moment. (in my "opinion" of course, lol) So whether or not the original "winners" would have been my personal first choice is completely irrelevant. As it should have been irrelevant with regards to everyone else's opinions as well. Edit: For clarification purposes, and for the "intellectuals" in the room so you understand....... My "opinion" is not about a concern for the so-called "competition" itself, winners or losers, although those are an unfortunate casualty of a larger problem. My "opinion," which I decided to express, is on my disgust over the fact that people are deciding what is a "good" name or getting it "right," and insisting that their "opinion" is absolute truth, when in reality it is nothing more than their "opinion." What one or a few think is "good" or "right" does not constitute a fact. Quite the contrary. And they rationalize it with all sorts of altruistic platitudes while simultaneously & self-righteously demanding that their "opinion" prevail. My question to those people is this.... What if the next names chosen do not meet with your approval? What then? In my "opinion" the company should decide on names and tell everyone who doesn't like them to take a flying leap at the moon. The game will survive in spite of all dire predictions.

    -1. Mailing and wagoner system are some features I personally like very much in this game. There are already players who offer cross-server deliveries. I visited 155 deeds during 4 months of playing without being forced to do so, but some other players dislike to travel and no one should force them into a game play they do not enjoy.

    Maybe there are better names according to your place of origin, religion or culture but a competition is a competition and if the winners get 2nd prize then whats the point of running a competition that had no 2nd place when it was launched. If the Wurm team are going to run their competitions this way then they should state that winners might not be the winners if enough people complain.

    I have a hard time seeing how this would make the game better to be honest. If people want to get out of their deed, there's already the transport of bulk goods, hunting, visiting a friend's deed, straight-up exploration, archaeology, sprout gathering, etc. I don't really see how forcing the people that don't like travelling to travel (and there are people like that) would make this worth while. We're just not in a dire situation for this to happen.

    So, here is an opinion: The poll is doomed from the start. When you have a choice between "a" and the other option being "infinite possibilities", people are gonna choose "infinite". There will always be better options. Worse ones too, but by nature, we are going to hope for better. So the second you decided to put this to a vote, you doomed the chosen names. If you had posted just one alternate name as the other choice (A specific name, rather than "other") in the poll, then we would have had a much fairer result. Please pick two other server names and redo the poll, only giving us the choice between the current winner names and the alternate names. I promise it will make this all go a lot smoother.

    Might be just be a nationality thing but for us Yankee types “Rumble” as a noun doesn’t convey the gravitas that pvp type players are probably looking for. Heartland is more passable IMHO even though for me it invokes a Canadian show about horses.

    The only thing with that is that people who first settle there tend to decide on the names and if they stick around those names sooner then later tend to become popular so breaking that tradition would lead to the same thing we have here Where as starter towns have always been up to the devs and we never had a real say in it hence why we had "new town" for a very very long time across multiple maps until the closer of jkh as it was the town where new people start(original right?) but everyone was happy with the name anyway yet nt lake had many names(1 of which was oracle's cloning lab) given by us the players

    Ever have a look at the people who are champs? they cant leave their server so they would have to rely on others or on alts Next to that it would just cause the wurm economy to crash even more as the mailing system was added in during a time where wurms economy was going to hell as people had stopped stocking up their merchants at trading deeds and trading deeds where disappearing as those people where quitting so something to streamline item trade was needed If you want to travel then travel if you want people to see your deed then advertise your deed and show it off there are enough people who dont want people to go to their deeds and wall off their places because of bad experiences with stuff being stolen due to broken permission systems anyway -1 dont get rid of mechanics for the sake of "but it might make people do this" as it wont it really wont

    You are very wrong my friend. It just screams to be BL starter town. Thing is, every BLer kills noob BLers around spawn all the time. its just the way it is, always rumble in the jungle style of play, so naming the starter rumble its like a "bullz eye" shot. But joking aside, for a such "genuine" name that literally nobody likes the biggest honour should be putting this name to this: Battle Camp Rumble has appeared in the northwest regions. Not even a starter should be named that lol

    While playing, I've been trying to brainstorm things I would intuitively need/want as an F or R action.... I would love to know what sort of suggestions other players have / what actions Wurmians just do pretty much every day. Here are things I've noticed so far. Non-aggro Animals: Groom / Lead / Tame While Embarked: Open (would be great if Open toggled like "Embark" does - when the cart / saddlebags / etc are Open, the action is Close, and vice-versa) Water Containers: Drink (instead of Open) / Fill (if you have a liquid container activated) ??? ... and just curiously, is it possible to have the R action "default" to Examine when no other repeatable action has been done?

    Hmm, how cool would it be if the northern quarter of the northern Islands server was mostly Tundra, Mountain & perma-snow, the southern quarter mostly desert, steppe and VOLCANO, swarming with hellhounds Lavafiends Hell Scorpions. The middle 50% is normal Wurm. No impact on farming, resources, etc as that would be way too complicated to do in time anyways. The peeps who adore snow, pine trees, alpine could run for that upper 25% of the server (I'm in that batch) The peeps who love volcanos and danger migrate south (esp if more hostile spawns) The 50% who obstinately insist on being "NORMAL" can cluster in the middle half of the server You can simply "paint" the snow area and, if people want, they can dig it to dirt again and replant in meadows etc, just like they can do with Tundra or Steppe (except just like Tundra, the imapct is permanent ie it does not spread or revert back). Same with Deserts etc.

    You worded very exactly what has been bugging me. The screen is full of boxes and other elements in different sizes and styles (buttons, borders, etc). This makes the screen look patchy and clunky. It's not really a critical functionality issue, but in my opinion it's pretty high on the user-friendliness ladder.
