Barcode Empire Barcode Empire is first and foremost a collective, utilising doctrine styles of play and fair universal laws for all. Unity, order and solace can only be maintained if a deep meaningful connection is made to the collective, it will give the drive to play and increase players desire to join in on deed run events & goals. All adding more layers of fun to the game. What do we want to achieve? A tight, long-lasting, driven community. A social group to play, interact and rely on. A group that educates players, expanding their knowledge and sharing experiences. A collectively competitive group, that combines its total skills to compete with the rest of the Wurm. Be this in PVP or PVE, we want us to be the best. Players that are committed to the idea of Barcode, that will remain part of Barcode. How do we expect to achieve this? Clear & simple expectations, No BS A fun and supportive environment. Good Leadership & Open opportunities to lead. Open-minded and honest people. The laws of Barcode These laws are the expectations and how we expect our members to play by The First Law -all members must have 1 account with a namesake that reflects the name of the empire. Your commitment is vital to the growth and identity of Barcode. Name must be 10 characters Name must contain only "i"s and "l"'s Name must start with i (capital I) and l (lowercase L) You can have other accounts The Second Law - participation, all members are expected to participate in the collective on some level. Your participation is what fuels the energy of Barcode. This can be as simple as join comms, help a fellow out, organise an event etc but participation on some level is expected. Comms is expected. The Third Law - Give more than you take. There is no simple way to quantify this so it is up to you as a member of the collective to decide if you're taking more than you give. We do not expect endless workloads or doing tasks none stop, just help where you can, the stronger the collective the stronger the support network beneath you. The Fourth Law - Don’t take on too much. This is a game, one where many people feel they can achieve far more than they expect. Don’t burden yourself with doing too much, too often. T here is no rush, as a collective member burning out only weakens us. Slow and steady. The fifth Law - Respect the Line. Personal relationships will form and develop, We won’t moderate the community but we will not tolerate meaningful harm to our members. By all means have fun, banter and troll each other. Just know when enough is enough and be adult enough to say sorry when you cross that line. If you have any questions about our Laws, please ask. No knowledge is hidden from members, If you like the sound of this and want to join start by joining the discord - https://discord.gg/a2eZZXw

the other titles are religious in nature; what about Crusader? 2h swordsman -> Templar -> Paladin -> Crusader

Running Wurm on Linux Mint here as well, no problems. Just to make sure, you downloaded the archive (tar.gz) from https://www.wurmonline.com/wurm-online-downloads/ ? Comes with it's own Java runtime now. No need to install Java from Oracle any more.

The Mountain

So I guess then people complaining about zergs, death tabs, gravestones, drain health, and Libila just want to change the game to suit their play style. They need to adapt. Agreed, Omar!

adding new skills would reroll everyones affinity meals, so yeah it kinda is a problem

I do this all the time It's a lot more fun lol.

i do like the pigeon idea lol

I think it's funny how much people are complaining over us using a safe space. The whole reason that deed was placed there was to prevent MR (which in reality, they still wouldn't be able to do with Gaul'Kor being put down prior to all of that just east of USNP) from taking our mountain that they've been draining. We knew from the get-go that they were intending to do that. So we countered and bashed. Both MR and BL were simply out done through our tunnel systems when they all came. We knew we'd lose some people so we had to cut our losses and get out ASAP so we wouldn't wipe. In the end it was like 46+ MR/BL vs only like 17-19 JK. We were also at LEAST 3-4 locals away from our "impenetrable war deed." Not a single attempt from what I've seen was even made to wall off our mine/mine in. Let alone an attempt to even push to get our 1x1 walled off token broken into. War deeds always have been a part of the game. They're a part of the whole concept of land control, hence the /kingdoms. That's why there are raid windows, that's why there is only 5 consistent drains to remove deeds, and none of which was used by any kingdom on this server other than maybe MR atm when they did it to Victus Cong which we didn't have access to to even defend (literally unopposed). Raiding isn't supposed to be easy, it never is or should be. Also, Village is not a war deed. It is our Capitol, majority of our kingdom lives there. We moved there because we wanted to build a more defendable deed than Nuln, and it was a great location for Defending and the overall PvP aspect. If ANYTHING should be changed about it just simply remove raid windows. Or make it so you can use off deed mine doors without enemies being able to get in without bashing, but make it bash twice as fast as you can now. So you have some sort of safe space when you raid... it would make raiding actually fun/promote more PvP. I remember way before epic it was actually a thing with off deed mine doors, and you'd get good and fun PvP on a daily basis. There weren't any Zergs either. I would also recommend delaying death tabs to at least 10-15 minutes. So back dooring isn't a thing as much. Because people getting outnumbered is what is really killing the game if anything. Because what sense would it make if you want me to fight 3 people by myself? I would have absolutely no chance of even getting a hit off before I'd be dead most likely because of gank bonus. I would sit there fighting 3 on a mine door with some chance of actually giving a fight back or potentially getting even 1 kill from a mine door. You've got to look it all of this from all sides and angles before you say it's killing PvP. But everyone will sit there and complain, but BL also has a War deed named City. Was placed to prevent us from placing a tower down on our Capitol deed. But you don't see us complaining about it. We sucked it up and got some content out of it.

Make press, make paper, make pen, make ink, make mailbox, enchant mailbox, hope the other person has an enchanted mailbox, write letter, sell junk for 1 iron, send letter using clunky UI. OR Send them a message on discord. When a mechanic is vastly less convenient than metagaming that mechanic is going to be utterly ignored by your players save for novelty value.

The COD cost on a piece of papyrus/paper is 1 iron, Just send them a letter

what do you expect us to do if BL not only outnumbers us but also has the optimal priest and feels the need to team up with MR yeah i know that priest "discussion" is still going on, but anyone that has half a braincell can see why it is the best choice, anyway wrong thread... if you are in JK and suddenly wake up to MR bashing 5 towers of yours, drain disbanding 2 deeds right next to a mountain pass that we use to get up into MR lands on the daily, realize they are about to deed the pass and secure it for their kingdom, then what would you do? i'd react, and thats what we did we bashed their newly built towers, put ours down again and secured the pass our own given the fact that MR didnt want to fight an even fight right next to their deed and instead called BL in to almost outnumber us 3:1 tells me that we were right we were reacting sorry for that i guess...?

some fun with interiors :)

Currently, characteristic checks on melee weapons use your skill in the weapon as the diff, which means that unless you're already an uber strong account, or constantly swap weapons+use low ql no coc (which you can only do a limited amount of times before you run out of weapons to grind) you're going to blaze past the optimal skilling zone and face ever decreasing characteristic gains, which is kind of weird as it penalizes you for only using one weapon, and it's not like weapon skill does much past 50 anyway. Ideally, i think it should work one of two ways 1. Use Characteristic - 20 for the characteristic skill check, making it work like how skilling weapon works, you just want to hit and kill as many things as fast as possible for the best possible characteristic skillgain 2. Make the diff based on the CR of the mob you're fighting, so at lower levels fighting easier mobs is the best skillgain, whereas at the higher levels fighting strong mobs, as well as conditioned/champion versions would be your best characteristic gains, rewarding hunting down stronger mobs instead of just clearing areas of mobs entirely.

I tried to fillet a catfish to make bait but was told I need to be on land to do that. Not sure why that's a rule but can we please allow filleting on the boat?

i noticed a distinct lack of music instruments in a game about creating items and learning to fool around with them (yoyos anyone?) how about some classical medieval instruments for us to play with? using the fine carpentry skill we can carve: Lute body, strung with tailoring or ropemaking skill. Flute. used single, or several combined with string or wemp fiber for panflute. Harp body, strung with tailoring or ropemaking. Drum body, with hide streched over it using leatherworking. finally, once created you can perform with each instrument, gaining music skill, and possibly even skill in each instrument type. higher skill allows for better playing. lower skill causes more bad music and screw ups. much like early puppetry or yoyo skill, you'll do more messing up then playing for awhile. to take it even further, we can have the number keys represent notes once you have an instrument ether equipped or highlighted. pushing a number will attempt to play that note on the instrument. low skill will cause off key or wrong notes. high skill will allow people to play songs in game. multiple players masters different instruments could put on concerts, or form entire medieval symphonies!

Ok, so this one is a bit contraversial but hear me out. At the moment; Botanise is 100% a stub skill. It has been entirely supplanted by gardening save in the rare emergency you need to find cover ingredients out in the wild. Even then, foraging for cotton is usually more of a priority! Forage was always a bit wobbly near farming, but it is useful for getting essential early game resources; but as soon as you have a farm up it's pretty useless. Once you can farm mushrooms, it is only marginally more useful than botanise for esoteric recipes and emergency cotton. Given that these two skills are stubs, combine them into one skill (giving both sets of titles upon completion). Call it something like "wildcraft" (just set it to Max(forage,botanise) to avoid controversy). Why do this? To make it marginally more useful to level, and to open up a nice skill slot that we can use for something else such as glassmaking.

I personally like "Highlander" as well

Ok, I managed to run it. I had to switch off GLSL and FBO support. Unfortunatelly, my old deed, that I lived on and off for the past few years has been taken :(. I guess it's time to start a new adventure. Thx for your reply

As far as I know I am the 3rd if you count scythes as a weapon (Ehizellbob got 100 scythes in oct)

"Zweihander"? "Daikatana", for the ancient meme? ... or "Nothin Personnel"

as the title says I suggest to be able to leave a message in game as it will ease the communication between people, and it give the ability to leave messages to someone's who is offline. even though some will say you can use the forum to leave a message there, I still find it tricky as it is not always someone is on the forums and if they are, not all have same names there and in game. that come from my experience; I have taken a commission in game, when I have finished it I tried to contact the client to no avail and he was not in forums with name. so it stayed like that till he got online. I hope it is feasible to do so, as it will definitively be helpful.

For Village and Alliance, set by mayor(s). Reward options to include tick(s) in random skill. For Kingdom, set by X Kingdom title. Reward options dependent on Kingdom (Freedom, MR, JK, HotS)

Not sure what you mean with "a safe space" it's several safe spaces. If you dont understand the difference between the "VK" deed and the "Aggresive Expansion" one beeing far more advantageous then your to ignorant for your own good. If MR wanted to put down a deed on that location or a location nearby they would already of done it after they bashed the towers. But some people dont feel the need to have a deeded minehop or wait. "A safe place". And yes "A safe place" like that is actully killing PvP/Roaming. People dont wanna go in to JK anymore and i understand them it's a struggle. 3 deeds smacked in a small cluster+several guard towers. Like you could see this morning/evening And yes "Village" is the Capitol of JK but the purpose of that location was to push BL back with "a safe place" beacuse we couldn't keep up with BL in open fights.

There's a lot more to address than just "take the higher of the two" especially since many people have worked on them both at the same time. The reasoning is solid, they have definitely had their benefits diluted across other areas, but skill merges aren't something that has been discussed at length. If the decision to add new skills in the future is made, I'm sure some existing ones could be candidates for merging, and this would be one of them.

+1 One for delayed Death tabs

Have you heard of the sims medieval? In that game you could send messages to other npcs with a pigeon. It had its own little pigeon box for sending messages. Also another game that I used to play that had a mail function in game was called Perfect world. In that game you could send messages to people through the mail box and it would show up as a new message when you went to check your mail at this certain location in the game (I think - I can;t remember fully) The messages in the mail box, I think they only lasted for a few weeks. Was a great feature for if you wanted to send a message to someone who was offline and you could even send them items through the mail along with your message. Also the suggestions from others, not just you, to use the ink and paper...ect to send a message to someone offline, I have this to say: I am lazy and if I want to send a message to someone offline, I would not be bothered with skilling up and learning new skills just to send a letter through the mail box. That and also having the mats around to do it. I did not even actually know that such a feature was even around either. Oh and I have only wanted to send a message to someone who is offline on very rare occasions. going along with my lazy attiude, I would prefer some cute little pigeons or something like it, to fly off with my mail to the other person. maybe a small fee to pay as well for the service. like it currently is to send mail.

yeah, gonna go -1 on this idea. if you're looking for some veggies you forage, if you want herbs you botanize. if you combine them you'll end up with a bunch of pumpkins when what you really wanted was belladonna

use pen, ink and paper, and send him a letter.

+1 I wholeheartedly agree!

Yes, please. In fact, there is a ton of stuff that IRL you can do sitting, so should be able to do sitting in Wurm. Crafting actions in general need a quick rethink regarding whether you should be required to be standing on the ground to do them. EG: blacksmithing & carpentry, standing pottery, leatherwork, tailoring, sitting ok filleting & chopping, sitting ok.

Unique corpses cannot be buried. Added to the list, thanks for the report.

Probably 'owned' by somebody who will kill it with alts or a small private group. Love wurm content, good times!

Any idea on when a map dump for Northern servers may come out ? Thanks ..

Why does it have to be one or the other? Why can't they do both?

Would love this, then I can become a traveling bard - especially if it allowed my midi guitar or midi keyboard input

deed it or lose it

I discovered that if I place a light source on top of a magical chest the light source gains almost triple the brightness. The basis of the scientific method is repeatable results. I have tested this out in a few locations with different items. I was wondering if any of you would like to share your results as well. And maybe we can figure out what kind of voodoo is being done here. Looks like it works on Golden Altars as well.

last work at tundra camp, then marble garden

Hi @Zao I'm going to release a little update soon, where popup can be moved to upper right corner. I wanted to make the choice of position totally free, but it was considerably harder to do. So something simple instead. Please let me know after update, if alternative position is good enough.

Don't suppose it'd be possible to add 10% create ql bonus, 10% ql rune and 10% skill bonus runes to the calculator?
