Come on down to the Black Hatchling's Bounce House! Come on down to Oops I Did It Again at K15 where, thanks to an assortment of Britney Spears themed stuff, you too can have her songs play in your head over and over even as you try to sleep! Extra bonus since this will probably cause Fabricant to have to play some MIDI Britney Spears songs too! We will be opening the Super Safe Bounce House at around this time: Remember to bring a tent for safety, and for even more safety, get there early! As ever, everything will be rolled! And look, for once I remembered a map!

So, the people in charge have made it very clear they will NOT be fixing this current overlap of rifts that was not caused naturally. This means it falls onto us, the community, to work together and fix it. I've seen too many posts about "It'll happen eventually just give it a year" and it could literally be next week if we really wanted. Lets do the Cadence rift on time and then give Melody one day, so we have Cadence on the 16th, Melody the 17th, and Harmony the 18th. We just need some people on Melody to put up signs around the rift location stating to wait until the 15th and maybe some alts in local on the 14th telling people not to finish the rift. If it doesn't work then nothing changes, but at least we tried. If we really do come together to fix this problem immediately then we could also push Melody to the 20th so that the rifts are separated by 2 days and after Harmony we aren't waiting another 7 days. The ~150 player Cadence rift and ~15 player Melody rift took the same amount of time, but with everyone on the Cadence rift being able to score WAY MORE rewards. #1 on Cadence had 821 points, and #1 on Melody got 244. The only argument I see for the overlap is that the ~15 player rift had a lot less lag, but I don't think that's a good argument for the ~150 people to miss out and for the ~15 to gain less rewards when it took the same amount of time. Also, one would hope the devs might look into having the servers run smoother during these rifts. Please spread the word, and try to make this work.

I can understand why for PvP it's good to have the chat display your faction like HOTS JK or MR, but on PvE I imagine it would be much more useful and less confusing for new players if Freedom was called Cadence, Melody, or Harmony. This does not apply to GL-Freedom, but also applies to SFI.

I will make a Britney Spears playlist just for this

Oh noooo. Not the compasses again.......... 7s

I don't believe there are any recipes that specifically call for nutmeg oil, but any of the recipes that use an oil in general (e.g. most of the curries) can use nutmeg oil. This gives you a way of adjusting the skill affinity, as well as another use for nutmeg. But yes, given the comparative rarity of nutmeg, some special recipes that specifically call for it would be cool - feel free to make a suggestion in the suggestions forum 🙂

This is a pretty good idea. I have alliance members who are in different time zones and would like to attend a rift event but cant because of the timing.

This is just a game. But real people play it, and what makes this game so incredibly awesome is the people. On these digital lands, we have laughed, cried, run screaming from scary things, gotten lost, rescued each other, killed each other, found dragons and giants, built empires and cabins, forged alliances, built bridges and roads, and woven stories with each other for years. And, like in real life, sometimes something really tragic happens, and we lose players to the death that you can't fix by running to go get your corpse. Those players deserve a place to be remembered. I would like to create that place, but I need your stories and memories. Please pm me with the names of fallen heroes you knew personally, and tell a 5k or less word story about them, so your words can echo across the valleys and oceans, skip like rocks across the lakes, leaving ripples that gently move us all towards moments of remembering those who helped build our world, and are no longer in it. When the page gets built and posted, I will post here and in game to let everyone know where it is. Thank you all. Please pm me with your stories instead of just commenting here so I have them in one place and can get them onto the page.

I would assume you have to grind out Arch to get fragments for them, assuming that is avaliable

As I burned a brush pile yesterday, in real life, I thought "we need this in Wurm! I'm gonna make a suggestion." In a novel moment of forethought, I searched to see if anyone else had suggested it yet... so I'll rez this thread. Bonfire Model is larger than a campfire, and has five different sizes/stages depending on the quantity of logs in it. Requires 2 logs to build. Lit with a piece of kindling and a steel and flint. QL is the avg ql of the logs added minus 5%. Produces ash based on the quantity of logs: 1.6kg ash (lower quality) per 24kg log. Will take up to 240kg of logs. Burns between 2kg and 5 kg every 5 minutes - a 1ql bonfire with 48kg of log would last approximately 50 minutes, while a 100ql bonfire the same size would last about 2.5 hours. Stages: Dying - less than 20kg - appears like a mound of hot coals - not very bright Fading - 20kg to 40kg - short flames, like a larger campfire - as bright as a good lantern Burning Steadily - 40kg to 80kg - medium flames - as bright as several lanterns Blazing - 80kg to 160kg - high flames - Very bright Roaring - 160kg to 240kg - Max flames - Bright enough to annoy if on an adjacent tile As you add to the bonfire, it will increase through the stages. As it burns logs, it will decrease through the stages. Anything flammable could be burned by putting it in a bonfire. In some ways could work similar to a trash heap. Adding anything wooden, that would immediately increase the bonfire, consuming the item. Anything added will average the ql. QL remains steady until the fire burns out, at which point the ash can be collected.

Dear Wurmians, Reaching out to see if there's anyone on Xanadu or on the southern freedom cluster that needs a helping hand. We have a newborn and times are tough (most likely for a lot of us) so to keep my small deed up and running I'm looking for any kind of work out there. Highway making, digging, whatever. Able to travel far to get some income. If there's anyone, please let me know and have a great weekend. RonB

It will not be fun if you have less than 50. You have two options: A ) Bring your own corbita you have imped to as much as 50 QL.

Just to repeat: a semifinal is mandatory if you want to borrow a ship, and free to join for others. Time: 2 hours before the main race, and 1 hour before the main race.

This is ridiculous. you guys give me another disease every couple of DAYS! If i was sick so much irl i would certainly seek to end my misery permanently. Are we not warriors, craftsmen, farmers, gatherers. An active and healthy lifestyle, right? Not tainted, corrupted invalids. Or is your world here so polluted that it will destroy all life even without the help of trolls and goblins? You're taking all the fun away. i have a lot of animals to groom, milk, sheer, feed, breed, and not enough online time to stand around sick so i don't contaminate them too. Stop wasting my precious minutes! Every time this happens i become more irate and closer to ending my subscription. What is the reasoning behind this "disease" stuff anyhow? Just to kill off my livestock?

The bid prior to that was withdrawn.

Me and my earworm hate you.

Hello Kierkegaard. I sent you an amphora with 19kg of the the T2 color. The price is 20c per kg with a bulk discount. Feel free to send it back if you do not want it. Hello Tanaris. I sent the black dye to Taranisss. Enjoy your black corbita :). Hey again Cista. I sent you the blue and the green is here ready waiting for when you need it. I'm looking forward to hearing about your next event. I regret missing the horse race.

There are multiple reasons. My reason is this. Since the market is always fluctuating, I do not know what it is worth in the current market place. So by listing it at lower then what is wanted, I am able to judge the worth of the item currently and gather interest in it.

always wonder why not start the bids at the reserve. why keep it hidden?

Bump! Growing well - Great player base and a growing economy. Hope to see you there!

Why do you think so? My personal point in that post : was so if we have more diverse rift timing then more people have chanses to participate, cos in Wurm we have lots of people with different time zones. And the more rifts spread over time, the better it will be for the community in general, especially now while people are still actively playing.

I see you are buying paint already rofl

[08:40:31] The items silently disappear from the spirit castle. You expect them to arrive in less than ten minutes. Thanks

I love this idea, it would now give people the option to do 3 rifts a week instead of 2. And seeing as you need to do 100 that would make it about 33 weeks to complete instead of 50. Thats a huge time saver.

I wish this worked. 😉 We are getting disease in weird ways, recently got one when trading with my merchant.

Update, Some one on Xan today mentioned that they couldn't find a rare maul of theirs. In addition I logged an alt of mine in today (Kelisea) and realised that her rare open fireplace was gone, /support ticket in.

Love what you doing, takes me back many years to Inde, keep up the good work!

Transmuting a clay tile is impossible without tin lumps, which are impossible with no metal veins. So basically never any forges. I did get up to making iron tools at a campfire but it sounds like there is not a lot farther beyond that you can go. And with no source of iron beyond rummaging, even at a campfire you can only improve tools, weapons, armor a very small amount. (Besides which, transmuting a clay tile even under perfect conditions like fast server, clay jars, tons of apples etc is such a horrific PITA that I swore I would never do it again). So much bare rock face is great for rummaging bits of iron rock but that, plus the exceptionally jagged terrain and very thin dirt, is going to make terraforming a decent deed quite a pain also. And 10 body strength severely limits what you can carry. I think there was some sort of bug making body characteristics really hard to raise without a mod but i can recall the details there. Anyway long long time till anyone will ride a horse or drive a cart. I like the basic idea of a challenging PVE server, although it has been done before. I always love seeing new ones though. Anyway I'll continue to poke around a bit more and set up a deed and all, but do not see much future here. I am curious to see how far I might go if I depend mostly on wood spears and leather armors, and very minimal use of iron.

I've been asking for something like this for a long time. Wurm Unlimited is possible to play single player, but it's just downright boring being on your own. Even on servers players tend to go off and do their own thing, NPC's that do nothing but mill around the settlement would make it a bit more interesting and also make it worth building a settlement that is more than a house for yourself and maybe a workshop as well. Creating a small village or even a town would be worth doing if it wasn't just a ghost town.

I believe small buckets are the optimal container for fragments. With all space used issues, you want to find whatever container holds slightly less then 100 of your item (fragments in this case). This is so because every container will consume its full volume in the magic chest regardless how much of its space is used. Backpacks are very inefficient for storing fragments. A backpack will consume 75 L of your magic chest's available 300 L and it holds 100 fragments (containers for the most part have 100 item count cap). Whereas a small bucket will consume 12 L of the chests volume and hold something like 96 fragments. Many container volumes are here: https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Container I know its very annoying that this kind of information is not right at your finger tips in game but unfortunately Wurm has some bad game practices when it comes to information sharing.

Update! Added a 4k server to the North for hunting! Hunting server also runs the survival mod. It has custom spawn and rift mobs for hard core people and is PvE. Because you can still see those damn kids on your grass Livemap Link

I did once:

I would completely disagree with that. "Grinding methods" are sort of meta-gaming, but that's fine for those who want to do it. As to "number go up is the most important thing in Wurm" that may well be true for you - it certainly is for some - but not for others. I could not care less what my numbers are. I am a sailor, mountain-climber, explorer what have you. I have much more joy in the achievement of discovery than in the accumulation of numbers. Digging/terraforming is a definite need - despite the tutorial I only really learned how to terraform in WU. Construction versus crafting, as well (although maybe it would be better to have ONE consistent method)

Lots of great ideas for player owned/controlled NPCs ! Have some of you seen KatsPurr Ultima Project? - recreating the cities of Ultima within WURM Unlimited. Here is one episode that shows how NPCs can bring WURM to life: Wurm Unlimited - Recreating Ultima Online - Part X - Building Nujel'm For the nay sayers... It is hard to understand why NPCs on a deed can be a bad thing. The main argument that I keep hearing is that they want players to fill the deeds and make them living breathing villages. We've had 15 years of fantastic projects and we fill our deeds with items to make it feel more "lived in" but never quite succeeding without other players visiting or being part of the deed. If you could consistently gather enough players to keep a deed lively then why isn't it done on a consistent basis? Its because we are human and we strive to explore and create from our own mind's eye. I can travel to 10-20 deeds in one day and never meet another person despite 150 people playing on the server. It is for this reason that we should have Deed NPCs developed for the players.
