Samool, on behalf of everyone at Wurm, I want to say thank you. This game wouldn't be what it is today without you. Many of you might not know this, but years ago, someone else was working part time on the new renderer. Before they could finish it, they got a job elsewhere and had to leave the project unfinished. Finishing that was Samool's first big project. From the launch of the 4.0 client, to the modern renderer, volumetric fog, dye on armour and everything in-between. It has all had Samool's hard work bring it to life. Mate, I wish you the best in health and life, take care.

Hi everyone, I'll be stepping down from my post as a Product Manager of Wurm Online, due to a pileup of personal issues and health problems. It has been a great adventure and I've thoroughly enjoyed working on the game I've played and loved for over a decade, but it's time someone else takes the lead as I'm not fit at the moment to do it properly. There's no better person to carry this game further than Keenan so I'm certain it'll turn out great with him at the helm - you can expect a development update post from him shortly Thanks for the chance, and see you around Wurm! Samool

Hello all! As per Samool’s post, I’ll be stepping up as the product manager for Wurm Online. Thank you for all the hard work you’ve done Samool. Working with you has been a pleasure, and I wish you all the best. I do hope you are able to bring your amazing skills back to us in the future. I’d like to start by saying that I am working on an updated road map, which may take a little more time before it’s ready, to ensure accuracy. What I can say right now is that we are shifting priorities a little: the Exploration update is still on the radar but will be pushed back to allow more time to finish and test it; in the meantime, we will be focusing on smaller suggestions, as well as some surprises for Halloween, all coming later this month. There is other content brewing as well, but I’ll leave that for teasing later! Map dumps will be coming around the New Year, as per our normal schedule, but they will include Northern Freedom Isles! Defiance will have a map dump that is delayed somewhat, with the actual delay still being determined; this is to protect fledgling villages that are still working on defenses. Finally, as a thank you for being patient with us, we will be running a 30% skill-gain and affinity bonus weekend at the end of this month. This will start with the update on the 28th of October and continue until midnight, server time, on the 4th of November (Thursday - Wednesday). Thank you all and happy Wurming! Edit: Due to some recommendations, we'll be doing a full week of bonus instead of just a weekend. This is to accommodate folks of varying play times.

A suggestion I have is to include more clothing for everyday wear.😁 Things in medieval wear such as; Shirt, Chemise, Tunic, Bliaut, Herigaut, Houppelande, Surcoat, kirtle, Jupon, Gambeson, Tabard, Monastic Scapula, Cotehardie and Doublet. It might be interesting to have a larger selection of clothing with improvements in the subject of tailoring skills.

what does this change when basically everyone just crates it, and those who dont will be forced to so it doesnt damage their terraforming dirt is infinity creatable with a fo priest too, not to mention theres literally billions of dirt in terrain across the servers

Sounds like you've been through a really rough time this past year Samool. So sorry you've had to go through that. What's most important now is to take care of yourself and get better. Thank you for everything that you've done for Wurm. There are too many contributions to even list, but the one that really stands out to me is how Wurm transformed into such a gorgeous game those months before the Steam launch. Wurm has become something we can feel proud to show off thanks to the volumetric lighting, the new UI look and many other things you worked on. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you start to feel better soon!

OR is right, plenty of empty places in Wurm right now where you can level them to sea level. No fear of running out of dirt no more than we'd run out of rockshards.

So sorry to hear that RL is getting in the way. Thank you for all you've done. We appreciate you. Wishing you the best of luck, health, and happiness. ❤️

I recall you saying that if you had more of a say there'd be coffee in the game 🤔

We couldn't be in better hands, congrats Keenan. ❤️ Feeling extremely positive and hopeful for the future of Wurm!

Congrats on the new role, we truly are in good hands. Looking forward to the new road map and exciting changes. I'm not personally much of a 'grinder' but the bonus, especially a week long, is a very welcome gift for the players for sure, so thanks! Halloween has always been my favourite holiday in Wurm, now really looking forward to it with whatever you have up your sleeve for us

It was built just before highways were implemented. It was built by myself, my villagers, some friends and handful of random new players who had just started the game, lived nearby and were looking for something to do. Had we known highways were coming, we probably wouldve built it 2 tiles wide and it might still be here today. The bridge had a massive height in the middle just because it didnt cost us any extra resources and we thought it'd be a cool lookout position. It was fun building that bridge. I'm glad it served its purpose in the beginning and im very surprised it lasted so long considering ive stopped playing wurm years ago and the bridge was also decommissioned years ago.

cheese

Shop pernanetly closer

as topic stated, could be wise to let us know if u want todo it or if u just had it once, many ppl talks about it but its talks no answers so Devs/GM's Owner of game how about some information? Take care ^^

Sometimes, people just need a project to work on. I decided to make a simple path up a mountain, and now that it's done anyone is welcome to come enjoy the views. In the end, a few bridges were required, like the 5 in this unhelpful screenshot: I quite liked the sights from the top, and wanted it to be easier to get up there. Don't open the next spoiler if you just wanna come and see for yourself! I'm not really sure how my neighbour and ally feels about the route since they are somewhat overlooked... ... but I did die a few times to make it happen so I think it's fair... If you want to visit, here's an expertly-drawn map showing the route up. It's really incredible how much time and effort went into the diagram, all things considered: I've left a container up at the top, with the idea of getting people to bring along some pieces of papyrus with philosophical thoughts to add to the collection. I've started it off with a piece about apathy, which will be ironic if nobody bothers to join in. p.s. I've discovered there's 1 spot where you can jump off the top and totally stick the landing in the Trigorn Tarn. It's a great base jump!

I'M HAVING A BLAST SO FAR! Feels like if I have found "my Ultimate Game". So much that i want to dedicate a partition to it so as to have the best performance as possible. So i'm looking for the best OS for it! So fai i'm considering Linux over Windows. (Specs: I7 4700MQ, nVidia 740M, HDD 5400RPM) OBJECTIVES: Wurm Online-Centered OS. Maximum OpenGL performance. As Lightweight as possible, with few tools like a light browser (Chromium? Midori?), minimalistic DE. TARGETS: Currently Lubuntu.Had some previous experience with it and liked it personally. I'm looking for "gamer OS" but i'm not sure how many "gaming ornaments" a gaming OS can have. My linux knowledge is not horrible but certainly basic. I fare quite well with PC's in general and have (low-level) programming experience, so i have a glimpse of things. It's just that I don't know the more Linux-esque things. EDIT1: forgot to mention the most important thing.. JAVA support/performance EDIT2: Found out about Drauger OS: even has a particular low-latency kernel that gives less priorities to more mundane tasks. I'm interested in that one! Thank you and Happy Grinding! Nicolás

Congratz keenan and for samool, really hope whatever issues you having get solved and wish you the best of luck goin forward. When that is said, you team getting smaller just make my concern grow bigger, not long ago you use 5 month to fix a broken update for one of your core mechanic, something many wurm players has built their playstyle around. So with the limited time you allready seems to have and now loosing another dev doesnt seems like a good match. a few words and some map dumps seems to make people dance again, atleast for awhile but from been a everyday player this made me totally cut off Wurm. Pushing back exploration update to allow it to get tested seems like a good idea, but i rather you mention fixing some of the long time bugs along side with adding some smaller things that has been suggested, my biggest frustration is the boarder crossing that ive lost many hours on. 1. Are you goin to hire a replacement? 2. Will you start taking care of the steam playerbase?(most player joining this days seems to be through steam but none of the devs has ever showed their face on steam making most leave this "dead game" 3. will you merge the playerbase soon? most of the servers has an unhealthy playerbase. 4. can we expect this devolepment updates to be monthly? Even if theres nothing new, just to say hey we still working on XXX helps alot. 5. will there be more of this events with 30% skill bonus? thinking more like having x amount of things to rotate with, so we can have this monthly and not just when you need to say "sorry", would work as a motivation i believe.

Would be great if we could attach a lantern (or lanterns) to our ships, wagons & carts. Here's a few pictures to give an idea. https://imgur.com/a/dr4z80L As for the Colossus, would be pretty near if we could either give it a huge lantern to hold that shines a bright line across a large area depending on colossus quality. Or a huge brazier bowl held in its hand. Would make colossi more interesting to build.

Digging dirt and sand and let it decay is currently removing the dirt from the game. At small words it will lead to rocky planet. I suggest that instead of dispear, when decayed piles let on ground flows with a similar process as drop on ground. As a pile can have 100 items, drop on ground will make an incredible strange high mount. The pile could flow on the four corners of the tile. 25 high may be even to much maybe flow over next corners too: surrounding tiles (9 tiles in total, 16 corners). Example could be: drop at a corner, turn around the 4 corners of the considered tile to drop 1 at each (max 4 items). Make two turns(max 8 items). Then start with the surrounding tiles, with one of the 12 others corners and turn around theses. (max 12 items). Then restart process with center tile. This will make a small smouth mount over theses tiles (max high is +5 at corners of the center tile). An other is there are sand and dirt but also rock and veins shards. Maybe rockpile outside could flow into dirt or into sand. In mines neither dirt nor stone shards can return to ground and raise floor. Only concrete can. Maybe should that be reconsidered too ?

Right. I found this and that. May be more.

I suggest that some small animals could be hitch to small cart. No driving mode added, requires leading of the hitched animal to go on (related to my other post). Only reduced set of animal considered, not hitchable to large cart : donkey, deer, (adolescent cow bull mules horses).

Tower guards very rarely leave a mine on their own, once they are inside. The best solution is to kill them and have them respawn outside. Then attach a mine door to prevent this from happening again.

Big thanks for all of your work over the years, and all the best for getting some well earned rest and recuperation!

Congratulations on the new position Keenan. Look forward to what you have in store for us Thanks for all you've done and are going to do for us Wurmians

Thank you Samool for all that you have done for us Wurmians. Wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Hope to see you back here soon

Well then, it seems my request has already recently been taken care of. Good to know!

Thanks for all your work, Samool. You have been an outstanding asset to both Wurm and to us players. I will never forget how you patiently explained to me that contrary to my knee jerk reaction, the 3D person camera in Wurm will not take away from "that Wurm feeling". And you were right. Expertly done! 😀 So many other memories too. This game benefited greatly from you at the helm, so thanks for your hard work and see you in game!

Good wishes and thoughts your way

thank you for what you have done with wurm and I hope your RL improves!

Won the RL battles as fast as possible and hopefully with little effort! It was really the best experience for me all the time when you were involved in strange glitch hunting ingame and I really hope we'll see you around yet.

Many congratulations Keenan. You have made great efforts to keep all of us players as updated with Wurm news even when difficult to do so and for that I give my thanks. You are most definitely a 'safe pair of hands' and we are fortunate to have you here.

Thank-you for everything Samool, I hope you get well soon. ❤️

what you have in your mind doesn't change the fact that imping nonstop without having to move while people bring their stuff to get imped is great for skill, woa or no woa. looking forward to those quality of life updates you talked about recently.

That is perfectly ok... impalongs aren't great for skill-grinds, you go there with different purpose in mind. I improve items with woa tools at impalongs. 30% skillgain for ~6days, you can burn all fatigue in ~2-3 days, then burn on fumes What I wonder is if.. small suggestion focus somewhat includes the one to fix affinity food management, removing existing buffs, resetting and taking first-bite buff timer, and having nibble option rather than maniacally pumping escape button like a savage when eating to get affinity buffs; also wonder what happens with the bug report from obi and gorski that code ruins rarity windows when we right click or do some other kind of server sync action(this probably needs to happen if/when rarity system is reviewed and made to be actually engaging rather than bott spamming creation to print money as it is currently); additionally could be nice to get a woodcutting buff.. as getting only 1x ql100 log per tree if rng allows the player to get a good felled tree is just sad and completely unrewarding end-game, the 100+ rolls just return junk log qls and whole grind for high skill turns into a penalty. Unsure how much that applies for mining, but guessing it's the same and 100+ rolls harm the resource gathering(judging by mining iron with supreme runed 97ql pickaxe and getting avrg ql90.50 with 99.86 mining skill.. sure there should be some "salt", rng or whatever but.. if the tool and skill are high.. so should be the results.

I went right to 80. All my speed horses have USH, and I'm slowly switching over to getting full USH & spark on the breeders. My draft bison all have either USH or spark, now I'm working on combining the two to have both. Getting consistent second trait is tedious.

I can see my hat lol!

isn't this already true? pretty sure the only way a lantern will decay in your inventory is if you log out without snuffing it.

Hello! I'm waiting to hear back from our parent company who is reaching out to the company sponsoring and taking care of the payouts. I hoped it would be a quick process but it's a bit of a game of telephone. I'll reach out to the winners once I know the next steps!

The Freedom Isles Society for the Prevention of Cruel and Unusual Dismemberment of Dragons, Drakes, and Creatures of Royal Lineage, or FISPCUDDDCRL for short, (Game Masters) has been closely monitoring all black market activity with regards to the sales of body parts that that have been seen coming from several chop shops that have set up in the region. After much investigation,(log reading) and many doughnut heavy stake outs,(actually this one is pretty much accurate) we have witnessed and recorded events and rituals that are otherwise impossible without the use of forbidden magics!(cheating) We have known for some time that something unusual was going on and had to assemble an elite team of mercenaries and spend a huge amount of time to collect enough information to determine what is legitimate, by the mechanics, unique hunting and slaying, and what is definitely not. Some hunting groups we could clearly tell were hunting unique creatures as intended and then there was the other group... .....yeah.... During many months of detailed work of collecting physical and logged evidence, we witnessed members of this group on multiple occasions, sail onto a server, land on a section of shore, then travel directly to where we had manually placed unique creatures for monitoring. Once at the location, they stopped, looked around for a moment, then went directly back to their boat and off server. These uniques were not at their general spawn areas and were fully protected by our team. There is no possible legal way for anyone to find these protected unique creatures with the normal client and yet more than once, this group demonstrated they could via the use of a third party cheat. Needless to say we are not happy at all with these people, using a third party hack, as we consider this to be an egregious violation of our Terms of Service as well as a despicable theft of an enjoyable part of the game that the entire Wurm Online community should have equal opportunity to access. There is still some discussion concerning some of the people involved, but a rather large group has already been permanently banned from Wurm Online for profiting from these cheats while robbing our greater Wurm Online community of natural opportunities to participate in a very fun and engaging aspect of our game. Thank you for your time, Enki (Chief Bison of the FISPCUDDDCRL Lodge) (Head Game Master)

Mythmoor is still up and running strong.. still fun.. and still the best WU server. So, why are you still not playing? Seriously, come on over and try a great WU experience!

MailMerchants allows you to list and trade with player merchants from afar via enchanted mailboxes. Merchants must be connected to the network by having an enchanted mailbox somewhere on their tile. Merchants on permanent deeds will be added to the network regardless of mailboxes on their tile. Players will get a 'View Merchants' option on any enchanted mailbox that will list any merchant connected to the network allowing them to select one to trade with. Notes: This doesn't override the one-at-a-time trading that already exists for merchants, and due to distances the trade window will be cancelled out of if you move at all with it open.

what a smile..

I have bought and received my orders as I have requested many many times. I have over 150 pizzas crafted by Borstaskor with Zero issues and I'll be ordering more soon with his new fancy 40+ hour one bite affinities!

To begin with, I refused to resolve the issue amicably? Private chat between us: Trade chat: According to the timestamp there, I offered you a refund for the pizzas 15 minutes before you started spamming trade chat that I was a scammer. I'm not the person here who's not trying to resolve things amicably. There should be logs with time stamps of all of this to be found. And I thought you were the one accusing me of being a liar.. Second of all, you started posting screenshot to me of a larder containing like 20 or so slices that you bought from Caolon. Makes me question why you even needed to buy CCFP food from me to begin with. I don't want to seem paranoid, but there's a small part of me who thinks that you were sent to try drag my name through the mud since you clearly didn't need to buy CCFP food, didn't accept my refund offer and you opted to play that kind of game instead. Screenshot in question: https://prnt.sc/1190tp3 My version of the story: He bought 5 slices of the small CCFP single, I sent him 5 slices of the same pizza, meaning he got the same affinity on all 5 slices. He complained that his slices weren't random and compared it to what Caolon sells. I told him they were. He proceeded to do this instead of trying to resolve anything. I don't know what more to say, really. Extra edit: I edited my merch post right after all of this happened to add some extra info that it's very possible to get the same affinity mutiple times by buying that menu item. I dunno if it was clear enough or not, but I had assumed it was.

hi, here is my small Pottery town, I will be able to put there most decor wurm items, just not fit :)
