Three days ago inside a little makeshift mine: Lake Vrock Alliance proudly announces: Public Slaying of that fiery creature. Caution: Penning has cost us two good horses. RIP.

Hi Everybody. Four years ago, I was real new, and was whining in chat about never seeing a Dragon. I said if I ever did see one (in PVE, of course - Kingdoms would make this complicated) I would tell everyone, and we would all just kill it. Oh, how people laughed at me. They told me of how greed makes people go sideways and if I made any announcement like that someone would come take it, and all the servers would be in an uproar trying to get there, and I had no idea what I was talking about, and what I suggested was laughable. Over the next four years, I came to understand that it isn't so simple. I learned that if you are going to do a public slaying, you gotta give people time to prepare. I learned those who host them are incredibly generous people who spend hours and hours setting these things up, and it is a Huge undertaking. But I never learned that people are greedy and awful. Wurm is full of really amazing people. We all come to the servers and help build an imaginary world together that is made of generosity, teamwork, really hard work, cooperation, laughter, adventures. People have spent years of long hours creating massive Impalongs that were endless days of joy, friendship, competition, and generosity. This last couple weeks, there was a beautiful Impalong that was so completely amazing, it felt like real life. Vooch and his staff were generous and kind to an extent that staggered and amazed me. And yesterday happened. Yesterday, I found a Dragon. First I contacted my alliance member and spewed a stream of all-caps uncontrolled excitement and explosions of glee that were mostly incoherent, but he dropped his anvil and came to help immediately. Then I phoned a friend in the alliance who dropped everything in real life to come help me. Then I contacted two other friends in the game who respectfully explained they were too busy. They kept quiet and didn't tell a soul. When it became apparent a couple hours into this that I was in over my head by a hundred feet or more, I pmmed Stanlee who sat in pm with me for hours helping with how-tos. He agreed to host the event, but we needed to pen it, and I found it in a friggin bowl of dirt on Inde, and after the 4th attempt to mine something suitable for a holding mine, we were 6 hours into the project with nothing but messes to show for it. We needed more workers. So I pmmed people I didn't know that well, but had interacted with enough to like them, and they dropped everything and headed over. Meanwhile, another friend had finally awakened in another time zone and she logged on and sailed over to help after reading my likely incoherent joy-bomb of a forum pm to her. These people put in anywhere from 4 to 12 hours of solid problem-solving and various levels of impressive skills. No one talked. No one tried to take the dragon or get greedy. We finally opened a mine and tried to get the thing into it in order to run a public event, but it wouldn't pull that far. When I say 'opened a mine', I mean we needed five tiles strongwalled, reinforcements, and dirt wagonneered to put all over for the surface. This was not a group of inexperienced players At All. This was in a huge area that appeared like it would be real easy to find a place to pen it, and after digging 200 slope down, still couldn't find rock, and when we did, it was reinforced, or snaking caverns. We went to pull it. We pulled for an hour. By this time, me and a few others had been awake 5 hours into the wee hours of the night past our bedtimes, and had been there for up to 10 hours. I said That's it. I'm doing it. I am going on Freedom Chat and telling everyone to come kill this little monster now. And they came. And when I told them to wait down by the water until everyone was there, they waited. And when I told them to put their tents down and wait by a guard tower and listen to my rules and my plan, they waited. And when we fought it for quite some time, because we were not a huge group, and it died, no one grabbed the corpse except the person I told to grab it. Nobody was greedy. I'm not naive. I know there are bad people out there in the world. But most people are good, and Wurm has a ton of really really good people. We all interact with each other in a little chat box in the bottom of our screens, and in that sacred space, friendships are forged, grand plans are hatched and carried out, ideas are debated, and generosity abounds. I really wish I could have given Independence a big public slaying with time to prepare and a beautiful Stanlee set-up with bells and whistles, or a wonderful Demonanightshade set-up likely with amazing lighting and decor, or that any of us last night could have done that with this dragon, but it wasn't to be. And when I just went on Freedom chat and babbled about a dragon in a sleep-deprived absolutely run-out-of-ideas stupor, y'all were there, and you were all wonderful. You make Wurm awesome, and I Do love everybody. Thank you all.

if you get that angry about your idle clicker game being down for 15 minutes it was probably time for a break

Not gonna lie, grim reaper would be boring and cliche. Bob is also far from grim, she's far too excited by the harvesting of souls.

[20:56:51] Scythe increased by 0.000008 to 100.000000 So that's a thing I did and I've decided on Reaper of Souls as the title. Massive thanks to everyone who's shown me support over the last few month, you know who you are.

For a start, they don't. Some skills have higher difficulty than others so no, not everyone does the same enormous work, but beyond that many skills require a different style of play to grind. Secondly, this game is about making your mark for future generations to see, as Wurmhole has said here (very well put). Be it in terraforming, design or titles. Some are more permanent than others, and so they should be. You have no idea the monumental effort required to even get an easy skill to 100 until you've done it. So yes, in my opinion, the first person to achieve this in the entire history of the game deserves to name the title. Regardless, my thread for reaching a goal of such magnitude is not the place for discussing this so please, if you hate it so much take your ideas into a suggestions post rather than further derailing mine. FYI the development team has the final say on if a title makes it into the game or not. If they don't like it, it doesn't get in and I can assure you this has happened before to friends in-game. And if you really must know, prior to getting the 100 title I ran ideas past staff and they agreed it was a suitable choice. Just because you personally don't like a title choice, does not give you the right to change it. Why not just be happy for the person for achieving a damn hard to do thing which took YEARS to achieve and keep your opinions to yourself. If I didn't like your username I'd not be taking a crap all over you telling of it's origins, if I didn't like the name you gave your deed or your pet champion rhino or whatever I'd mind my own business because it's not my choice. Why not have the devs screen usernames and deed names while we're at it and take a mass poll to ensure everyone agrees before letting them play the game cause it might affect me riding past in local... As I said previously, it's not up for debate. The title is Reaper of Souls. Like it or leave it.

Come to slay Forest Giant You will get 🎁 Blood + Source salt (using alchemy) to get > Potion of woodcuting Every PREM account will get bllod 🔪👺 Giantslayer title Our biggy can pick up and throw 🏈 players, so please dont forget your parachutes 🪂 (Tents) Slay will happen at: Location (Mel) O21-O22 there is a 2 ways to get to slay place from OTHER server 1) way from R20 (! DEED there dont have a road to desert yet!) Also possible to get there from O-P25 (there channel for boats to) O-P23

Samool took my big bucket of Halloween candy away and said I could not go trick or treating this year unless I agreed to help with this little oversight. So yeah, you can make a ticket for a one time transfer of the demon helm off of Defiance.

I think you misinterpret. There is no discussion on this matter and there shouldn't be. It's my choice. The title was chosen and agreed on by devs before this thread was created, in-fact I made sure I had approval before making the post, not to mention encouragement from alliance and friends. Way more than those who've said they don't like it. Thank you for your input which I will whole heartedly ignore and thank your for your acknowledgement of my achievement. As I said, there's no discussion to be had. Go make another thread for opinions on other 100 titles if you feel so strongly about it. My 100 skill thread is not the place for it. I'm done here.

@Voochthank you, I did a lot of research before naming my title and came up with a handful of things to pick from. That was one of them but I wanted something a bit more creative and more personalised. @PlatynaI'm well aware of that fact. And I don't care. Sure, there are some fairly terrible 100 titles but since it's very difficult to get to 100 and it's something the vast majority of players never achieve the first to get the title can pick whatever they like because they are the ones who put in the hard work. A 100 skill isn't something that happens by accident. If you don't like the title, don't grind it, else you should have got there first. It's not up for discussion. The 100 title for scythe is Reaper of Souls. It's in the game and it's staying, like it or not.

same game, different dirt. I'm a casual player, having first arrived over 10 yrs ago. I'm finally getting my toons to the point where they have skills in the 90s. I'm not starting over now.

Zexos and Valdor basically said it for me. Release is home. I'm not finished with all the things I want to do on SFI, even after eight years. I like my neighbours, and my alliance mates, and the regulars on my server. I know my server like the back of my hand and I have memories stretching back years of adventures I've had there, of friends who've come and gone, of stories we still tell about the shared history. I like the people, I like the benefits of the skills I've spent years accruing, I like that I have several servers worth of geography melded into my brain but I'm still discovering new places, new people, adding more. There's enough people to feel like a community exists around me in the day to day, enough people to make a big event like a slaying or an impalong feel 'big', but not so many people that I can't find space to expand or settle a new deed for a new project on a whim, and no grief with border disputes or the beautiful terrain around me getting wrecked by people in their hundreds coming and then vanishing. I've been gathering special animals for years that I lovingly tend, gathering resources for things I decide to build on a whim, slowly upgrading my furnishings, my decor, my equipment. I pick my deed spots for the views and the access routes to my other deeds and favoured seafaring routes, and I'm building a beautiful web and I love it. My main deed is a home away from home for me, and home is where you're happy. Why would I leave?

Simple request- Spear fishing should give spear skill(potentially up to a certain cap). This would allow spear fishing to have additional incentive and have the same advantages as other weapon types which can raise their corresponding skills by bashing, chopping trees, etc... If longsword can be raised by doing woodcutting(?!?!?) Then spear should definitely be raised by spearfishing. If for no other reason than consistency.

Outright lies? M8 I'll 1v1 you at the lady of the lake, IN THE WATER! Any time you like.

Hi Zera, If any of the deeds I posted wants to not show on the may, I apolgize, and it should be easy for them to remove using either WMDELETE and the original info, or WMDELETE with the shortcut text visible under "manage" on the map. Hi Taranis, You can edit the original post, and if that is on the last 2 pages of this topic, it will get picked up within 15 minutes, or if it is older than the last 2 pages, then it will get picked up within 2 days. If you want to revise an old post and have it show up quickly, then you can made a new post to WMDELETE the old info and WMADD the new info.

I also missed the 5 hour sleep bonus, partly my fault - partly his. But for my opinion, I agree with the majority here. He uses the forums for his merchant page, I'm sure he knows that community events are posted on the same forum. He didn't want to participate, so I'll choose not to trade with him.

Devs, Feedback from me and those at the event looks like this: 1). COMPLAINT: The Permission System in this game really suck! The devs need to improve it a lot because everyone continues to complain about it! The Proximity Bug is around... Rewrite that stuff!!!! Reduce the pain, please!!! 2). COMPLAINT: NE imp building 3rd floor White Lighter (WL) enchanter area was a mess. Refer to #1 UNRESOLVED: I need a willing dev to fix this one. 3). COMPLAINT: Players could remove any item from raft. This is a security flaw: UNRESOLVED: I need a willing dev to fix this one. 4). COMPLAINT: No one was able to do cleanup in the Fighting Arena. Keep in mind, an impalong area needs to protect everyone's assets, yet allow them to partake in activities (eg. carving a corpse, dropping the meat off and/or picking up cotton from a fsb). UNRESOLVED: I need a willing dev to fix this one. 5). COMPLAINT: My fault was when I did not know lava fiends could climb 6 ladders, cross a bridge, and attack priests. RESOLVED: I rectified this by creating gates between the fighting arenas on the 2nd and 3rd floors and the other two buildings. I also had to attach gate locks to fix the issues. 6). COMPLAINT: PvP Tournament: Not enough participants. RESOLVED: Next year, double prizes for the 3 tournaments from 10s to 20s each, and the grand prize from 20s to 40s to attract more people. This is my fault for not realizing proper market conditions. 7). COMPLAINT: People don't remember the dates, so you have to PM them 2 WEEKS BEFORE, 1 WEEK BEFORE, 1 DAY BEFORE, WHEN IT STARTS and DURING the event so they know how many hours until it starts and how many hours until it ends. RESOLVED: I will try to add other time zones to my calendar of events next year. 8). COMPLAINT: We did not advertise in Freedom and GL-Freedom chat channels. RESOLVED: We assumed people would read our forum post at : RESOLVED: We had friends that told other friends in other alliances. When people started getting multiple prizes, my guess is they didn't tell their friends. We chose by design not to tell people in GL-Freedom or Freedom chat. 9). COMPLAINT: I tried to go to forums.wurmonline.com UNRESOLVED: The devs would need to create a CNAME for forums that goes to forum on their DNS record. 10). COMPLAINT: Both wine barrels were empty. RESOLVED: Next year, we'll have 2-4 win barrels inside and we'll have a staff member check it daily. Anyone else have anything else good or bad with your observations? If so, keep the thread going.

Can we move this a day due to the sniped RoS on Cadence. Nov 2nd maybe?

I kept my old deeds and toons. I log in occasionally just to check things, but I did new toons for the NFI release. Why? Because I am actually enjoying the grind again. That sense of accomplishment; Ohhhh look I made this, or I can do that. I can kill a troll!! I lost that on CD. So many skills were over 90. I could go afk in the middle of the woods, and unless some really extraordinary set of circumstances happened I'd be fine. Now a simple trek to the starter town has me worried. So, while I am attached to the SFI, the NFI has given me a chance to feel that new excitement again.

RIP Horses Your sacrifice will not be in vain! Thank you very much for putting this together, @Ekcin and Alliance

Always a delight to hear about a new 100. Never imagined scythe was one I'd see - excellent confounding of expectations

There are new servers? Nice. My deed on Indy is good enough for me though.

Joined Aug 21.... and you are speaking about rites have always been cast unanounced...?

Because it's home. I have been on Celebration for years and I absolutely love the server. I love its people, its lands, its waterways... I am familiar with many corners of the server and from time to time I travel around to see the changes. I can remember old deeds in places where today only forests roam. I can remember Kami Canal the way it was several upgrades ago. I can point you to where the first unique was killed, where the first bridge was built, or to old tunnels which few know about. Every part of the land is history to me. I know where the best hunting spawns are, where the best gold or best marble is, where I have to go for shortcuts over many mountain passes. I can remember Tapdance Market the way it was before its 1st redesign. Celebration is home to me. I love my deed there and I love how we are defined more by water than by land on Cele. A horse and cart is as important as on any server, but on Cele a good ship is a must. Our waterways are our main roads. I guess I am getting sentimental after all those years. But so many neighbors came and went and so many areas were rebuilt and rebuilt again. Yet after all this time, Celebration remains... majestic, timeless and evermore my place in Wurm.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, especially since you're mourning her, but that's not a very good idea. The new fishing system is basically untouchable already because it's based on Tich's design, and no one wants to change the vision of a dead person that meant a lot to them. So we'd end up with a deity that would be even more resistant to tweaks and updates than the current ones. On top of that turning her into a goddess would mean that either they'd have to make her "too imperfect" to work with people's memory of her or "too perfect" in a way where she'd replace all the other gods in terms of usability. And trust me: You don't want the memory of her to be associated with a constant source of frustration.

I started playing on the Steam release but I was lost and the Steam community wasn't friendly at all.. Couldn't find a nice place to settle so I quit playing after a week or so. I returned because I red so many nice things about the community. Decided to try out one of the old servers and thats how I was welcomed by the veteran players. Best community ever!! (Well on the old servers, not the new ones.) Now I can't leave 🥰 I just can't!

This isn't for a specific village or kingdom recruitment. This is for encouraging new and older players to come try PvP and the Defiance server. Defiance is the newest PvP server in the Northern islands cluster connected to Harmony/Melody. If you are on Harmony or Melody you can portal over with your character, select a kingdom, join a whole different village here, and portal back whenever you want! It's common that people often play on both Defiance + Harmony/Melody, and portal back and forth. Defiance is in a great state. It's in my opinion one of the most balanced PvP servers in terms of game features, and all three kingdoms are actively PvPing, and have both new and old players. Whatever kingdom you choose, you will likely find villages recruiting, and get into the PvP quickly. If you have any questions about PvP, Defiance, or specific kingdoms feel free to ask here. If unsure what kingdom to join, it could be a good idea to post a reply here, express your interest, and time-zone so you find a group playing during your hours. Hope to see some new faces in local soon! I've been creating some Youtube videos recently to help introduce players into PvP and answer some popular questions: Check out some of the big fights here:

- S O L D - I am selling 2x Goblin Leader Blood (will turn into Potion of Mining when combined with source salt): [21:34:14] Blood from special creatures is said to have magic enchanting powers. This came from the Goblin leader. Price: 3.00s per item.

Thread Locked at OP Request.

The algorithm or whatever only checks the most recent page, so you'd need to delete the original with WMDELETE and do a new WMADD if you wanted to edit an existing something. Since it doesn't "Edit"

some fun with interiors :)

Congrats, Bob! That's an awesome achievement. I doubt there'll be many able to follow it. Love the title choice too. ❤️

This is great and all, but can we please keep in mind that not every Deed wants to be represented on a community map?

Fast and friendly. I recommend! Thank you for the chain armor set

I'll agree that pve could use some new approach(upgrade) for daily-weekly-monthly events people can do alone or in groups being with friends/village/alliance/or bigger groups of random people like slayings/rifts. But I do not think anyone from staff is rethinking how to make the game fun, once you have a deed, settle and have most things you want.. it's grinding/shenanigans and and working on own and other projects - which is not 'game designed content' it's a gap you fill with goals of your own to mask it.

I'm not feeling interested in the same start as south PVE islands and therefore I'll stay. Actually why I still mainly play these days on North is Defiance. I enjoy the different playstyle which is actually KvK and more a community world inside the kingdoms (tbh PVE servers are the PvP ones except not by slashing up each other but every other way). Why not Chaos? That is a terrible setup to have it connected to pve servers. Why not Epic? Don't need to explain I guess.

Thanks KharnovKrow. Sorry to have forgotten yesterday: Special thanks to Mordeith who found the dragon and spread the word, Killerspike as the lead miner who also closed the pen Mordeith, Killerspike, and Timothymarker for luring the stubborn beast to the mine (it refused a lot to go in), and of course my priest Obrut who got me out. Beside what I already bragged about I also took part in digging and mining .

Small Maul, iron, 70ql, 75nimb, 92LT, 83coc, 64ms - 15s Sickle, iron, 70ql, 68nimb, 75LT, 89coc, 67ms - 12s COD to Lugian please. Thank you!

I don't want to do the skill grind again and I'm past my addiction to Wurm. 😛 There is nothing new about the new servers, this is only marketing. Not interested in paying twice for the same thing.

Hopefully will be there havent see him for years

Looking forward to gathering up. Thanks all for hosting the event. :)

The Hunt of the Ancient changes miss the mark on encouraging roaming and group PvP. With both the geographical regions being removed and the pendulum range being obliterated, one can roam the entire map for hours and not find a single camp. Even when a camp is found, you are no closer to knowing where it was found than you were prior to capture, unless you simply speculate based on the time it took and the kingdom that captured. I propose that once a camp is captured, information is release about the location. This would actually incentivize battles surrounding camps that have been captured. Whether it be a pillar of light like a rift, or simply the general region that the camp is located, some indication would lead to more interaction between factions.

Finally, leveling archaeology allowed me to uncover ancestors tombs

already paid for years of premium to make impulsive purchases in the marks store

Great service, highly recommend

Congrats, Bob! What an amazing accomplishment!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!

[16:20:47] <Darwin> coming to wurm for combat is like going to call of duty for the farming
