    Empathy doesn't preclude professionalism. My heart goes out to Demona for her loss and I hope she will one day find her pain easy to bear. This doesn't change the fact that whomever is in charge of the team (someone in the ownership since they're assumingly calling the shots) should've appointed an interim CM or someone to communicate stuff since we're all on edge about wasting money on a game that isn't seeing any bugfixes, development or issues solved.

    First up, I apologise for the lack of communication lately. Several people within the dev team have had RL things that needed dealing with. It is also holiday season in Europe, which has others away currently. I appreciate that none of this is the player base's problem, and it's not the way we would have liked things to work out, but hopefully that provides some context. The dev team is aware of the AH issues, and they are being looked at. I don't have a timescale for a fix at this stage.

    There are very strong indicators (beyond the lack of patches) that all development for Wurm Online has halted. Completely.

    I'm sorry for your loss but it's honestly not our problem. You should have put someone else up instead of giving everyone radio silence. I personally don't think you are suitable for your position if you cannot make decisions as simple as. "I have a family emergency can someone step in for me."

    Excuses are not information. Everybody has extenuating circumstances in their lives, but life must go on, especially when money is changing hands. The very minimum you owe your paying customers is actual information. What is working as intended, what isn't working. What you think you can fix, what you're not likely to fix. Some realistic time frame on actually fixing it. A more appropriate response would be to immediately revert the patch until you actually get around to testing it. Obviously none of this is going to happen or it would have done so already. The fact that you won't even consider any of these things is why you're losing player base as our long term premiums run out.

    nobody *should* be blaming demona, she got handed a ###### show and handled it well the community is blaming the entire staff team all the way up to the ceo for underperformance and failure to deliver for a paid product/service

    Difference. We are paying for this game. We have Lost Months Of Prem Time With No Updates Or Bug Fixes. People Are Explioting And Nothing Is Getting Done About It. GM Tickets Are Taking Months To Get Settled.

    No excuses for anyone since I didn't get any, I didn't get to go to 3 family funerals last year cause of this lame overblown covid crap. I also have been customer support for both tax related stuff and xbox customer support, you learn to grow a backbone when you take up a responsibility.

    my alliance chat went from normal everyday nonsense to pretty damn negative in game since the AH update came out. if its not the breeders angry and upset then its the non breeders who are upset and dont want to travel because even after I imped everyones carts to 80 as soon as you have any real load in it you are slow enough a troll is going to kill you. it wasnt just the breeders whos qol is lowered by the patch. and I am ingame more then I am in the forums. trade was scrolling damn fast for the first week of the patch. now its common for it to go an hour with the same 3 people plugging their forum shop. ingame is more effected then you seem to think it is. granted we have 3 breeders 2 that have shops in the alliance out of some 30 odd people. but no one is happy with the patch. and the breeders are tired. do you know how many times I have had to link the patch notes? had to explain no sorry I dont have good stock to sell even my breedable good stock is giving worse and worse animals. very few players read the patch notes when they hit the browser let alone come from the forums. I came back to the game for the AH update. I regret it. also I swear by god that the lifespans on animals have been shorted by a solid third for horses. I have venerables dieing of old age a week to 2 weeks after hitting that life stage. use to take a month to two months. I have breeding stock that is literally dieing before I can get a usable foal or bison from them. almost all of my bison at this point have died of old age. I gave up on them. I am glad you are not seeing the effects as much in game. but you also are not seeing the silent majority that once they hit this brick wall they leave without comment. most of us here are invested in wanting things to get better. I am honestly tired of the various attitudes of "it doesnt effect me so I dont care, get over it" that keeps popping up regularly from non breeders and people that managed to care for their animals so things didnt change as much for them. it IS a problem in game. I am glad you dont seem to care or see it as an issue grats on it not effecting you but at least respect the fact it is effecting others and not just here in the forums either. I am sick to death of apologizing to people in game that come to me because I use to sell them horses and bison and come to port crescendo in general asking ask if we are selling "good 5 speed horses!" and having to explain the absolute dumpster fire that has been this patch to them. Players shouldnt have to be the ones carrying on the CA's and dev's job of F-ing informing players ingame on wtf is suddenly wrong with their carts/wagons/animals. If I didnt give them an answer I feel guilty because they are getting screwed over and dont understand why bare minimum I can at least explain why I just shouldnt need to. A dev by now should have at least set up a known bugs list and and a list of things being tweeked. That at least i could link to someone without having to spend half an hour going over all the ways the patch notes are not accurate and which traits seem to not be working or working in all the worst possible ways. I cant just link the patch notes and call it a day. Almost none of it is working as stated and it feels like I am just lieing to them if I just link it and not explain. any way. this has been your neighborhood causal breeder rant. Enjoy the rest of the day. edit I have one 4 speed stud and 2 4 draft studs set up ( the only adult breedable 4 traits I have atm) for the entire alliance to use for almost 3 weeks now. this week is the first time in a month that any of them are seeing 3traits at all and they are heavily using those studs. and its been like 4 animals between them. between us we have close to 50 pregnant horses any given day and that doesnt include cows and bison. we are brute forcing the numbers enough that we can sell some of the 4speed stock. but none of us is selling the female draft horses and we are using the males as studs and for carts we literally cant shoot ourselves in the foot and potentially failing to get more by selling them.

    wasnt the whole purpose of redoing the community relations/whatever role into what it currently is was so that we didn't run into these situations? the whole purpose that was stated was to make it a fluid role so it could be easily filled

    Why don't all new accounts come with the Say Help command pre-bound to a key for new players? If this is not a thing, then why is this not a thing? It seems every new player who enters Wurm ends up typing "help" in the wrong tab - I know I did - and it's not their fault. ...and then every new player has to be taught by other players how to properly call guards for help. Why does arguably the most important command for new players not come pre-bound to a key? Is calling for help or binding a key in the in-game tutorial yet? Just in case you missed it, this is what we try to encourage every new player: Press F1 and then type: bind [key] "say help" This will set the key you choose to call the guards if you have a monster targeted and it is in range of a guard tower! ...and welcome to Wurm - you are valued!

    Which is it, was she working or was she having an excused absence? Almost all of her posts are vague and/or contradictory. The lack of clarity is what I'm complaining about. Even in the post where she announces stepping down she's deliberately ambiguous about when she did so. If you cannot speak clearly and maintain a consistent message you have no business being in a communication role.

    Changed hands quite a while ago. I don't want to speculate on what the devs might have been told or not but there isn't any world where you have a subscription model business and you ignore your customers that leads to a good business outcome or practice. If we'd have a magazine-monthly subscription service for example, and the last magazine arrived 40 days ago with half its pages missing then you didn't hear anything from said service this month, would you think twice about cancelling that subscription?

    No, I think that is a little unfair. The CM is not responsible for content development, or even generating the information about it. What if the old one left due to lack of information to pass on? That is not something an incoming CM is really going to have a good handle on for some time.

    At the very least, it's an indicator of HORRIBLE customer/player relations and acknowledgement, which, in turn, breeds true player/investor concern, whether you agree or not. Lots of concern due to all these circumstances. See comments above. Also, when you look at dying games. These are all the symptoms - what is happening now. It looks really really bad. Don't fault players for thinking so, if you know something otherwise. Please share if so.

    Well, when there's zero communication/interaction, fewer and fewer updates, no much-needed fixes on horribly broken systems, no contest winner announcements, no steam anniversary acknowledgement, with a game already in decline, in an age where healthy games have constant dev interaction with player base, it's not unreasonable to draw some bad conclusions. You disagree??

    At the beginning of the year it was said that updates would become monthly. Last update was nearly two months ago. One before that was 3 months. As a paying customer I'm worried about the state of the game and would like some insight on what's going on. I believe all of us have a right to know. Is something being worked on? Why have exploiters stopped getting banned? Getting rather tired of the radio silence when most of us are scared to reprem as it feels wurms shelf life is coming to and end.

    I don't understand what are you going on about. The problem is the staff. No one is bashing just pointing out what is wrong and you are covering your ears saying "NO I don't want it!" We are trying to discuss what is wrong with the game and what is going on with the stalemate of development. Please do not derail my thread.

    I wasn't frustrated at people. I was frustrated myself about the update. And yes I have been absent due to IRL being absolutely insane, grieving the death of a good friend, and dealing with mental health issues.

    What are the issues? What can we expect will change compared to today? It would be wonderful to know what the devs consider as bugs and issues, before I kill all the horses that I would suddenly need after a "fix". Horse breeding is not like imping hatchets, where you go "Oh I need to use water now instead of a pelt after this patch? Hmm wonder if I can find water anywhere". It literally takes 3 months to get back to horses that I maybe killed yesterday.

    she gave an explanation to her absence and got attacked seconds later. If a person at work is sick or has days off, do you still expect them to work ? Its the "top managements" fault they dont have more then 1 community manager or have their Dev's inform the community manager of what is going on, which it seems they aren't. and everyone should know that its very very rarely that you find a developer / programmer that's willing to talk to end users, unless they directly work for them. 😛 I have worked in Support lines myself and i know what a pain in the @$$ it is, that you have a customer yelling in one ear, while no one further up, gives you any updates in a timely manner and the second you blame management, well then its out the door so if you need to freak out at anyone, then it a few steps further up the chain, so the people sitting sucking in our money. I highly doubt they all just abandon the game from one day to the other, so im sure they are working on issues somewhere, but forgetting to inform the people who has volunteered to be the middle man been the angry mob and the silent nerds

    This isnt good enough. I know you guys aren't paid but to sit and just watch the game fizzle out is rather savage. If they were going to take a vacation they could have atleast rolled back their disgusting changes. Also what does the devs not being here atm have to do with the last two big updates being a dumpster fire?

    The camps idea is a good idea. The skill lock is just terrible. And your whole mentality of Veteran players being evil is just wrong. I know a lot of veterans that give an arm and a leg helping new players grow and learn the ropes.

    Did a stint as an assistant PR manager, a lifetime ago, part of the contract is that you can't communicate stuff that isn't pre-approved. It's not her fault, plain and simple. It's like being a product safety inspector, if there's no product, there's nothing to inspect. Again, even if her title isn't PR manager, her role is similar to one. You can't bash your own company in any posts or communication, it's obvious why. Doesn't matter if you're an intern, volunteer or full time employee. Sad part is the step in a right direction to fix this is someone from upper management to make a post beginning with "We're sorry, we've screwed up....". Owning up to mistakes in my book gains 1000x more respect than pretending no mistakes were made. This would humanize the whole situation, since none of us expect perfection, just decency and it would help with mitigating / do damage control on the situation. It happens rarely with companies or institutions nowadays (if ever in history) but anything less than that is not acknowledging the root of the problem. At the end of the day, wurmians will vote with their wallets, when prem runs out.

    As my old teacher used to say "truth is proof", and while Archaed's rhetoric may sound convincing, there is no evidence to support it. In summary --- This is about where the majority of players are at the moment; everyone is running on hope, and from the tone of the posts here, the evidence suggests that it is fast turning to despair.

    Still no contest winners announced. Still no steam anniversary stuffs. Still no animal update fixes. Still no "monthly" updates. Still no communication. Are the players all that remain? Not a good feeling about what's happening - TOTAL neglect of the player base.

    With no linking to EPIC Clusters, we are stuck with the dirty green Wagon, Banners & Flags!!!!!!!! Since Defiance doesn't support PMK's there is no way to get or make those cool banners & wagons that we all loved back in SFI. We had a discussion in global chat and I received some amazing ideas! Let us make PMK in NFI itself as Defiance isn't much active and it's just 1 map which won't be great for PMKs, or let Alliances have their own banner designs for wagons, maybe rename or create Alliance Banners same as Kingdom Banners ! A Competition for Banner & Wagon designs like we had for tapestries back in the day and pick 5-7 designs from them ! For Wagons, make a dyable version so we can color them ourselves, even if just solid colors, maybe some basic 2 color stripes would look really cool ! The same designs for Tabard would be great too ! Archeology has a lot of stuff so why not PMK banner & flags too and maybe cloth that works as skin for wagons! (Papapazza) Talking of Archeology, scroll fragments to rebuild the scroll or parchment which gives the reader the ability to create all or specific artwork from the PMK it belongs to! (Papapazza) This is a personal recommendation that I think would be great, skins for Huge Axe and plate armor as those are the most used in the game and honestly, trident might make us look like Aquaman, but hardly anyone I see using spear so a skin just to show and not use in a fight isn't something I personally would go for. If anyone has more amazing ideas regarding the topic, feel free to pm me on forum or Wrumdragon ingame and I would love to add it in. Don't kill me for not mentioning the names on the initial suggestions, it was a big discussion and tough to remember who suggested it in the first place.

    Which is very effective, even if immoral, except, it requires no skill or training or experience as opposed to training in martial arts to be able to win a fight. If we are comparing Wurm to real life, i think we should make a petition to make sure soldiers who are better trained and equipped that the opposing side must fight with one eye poked out and their hands tied behind their backs. You know, to make it fair on the other side. Same goes for sports. If someone trained their whole life in martial arts, they have an unfair advantage over me, a software developer who barely leaves his office. Make my opponents lie down and fight me blinded so that they don't have the unfair advantage of *checks notes...* EXPERIENCE.

    Keenan does his job nicely (keeping servers going) but its up to the other devs to push and develop Wurm, he isn't the PR guy but still does his best in terms of server issues reporting. Sadly he seems to be the only one that posts anything regularly.
