Bugfix: Fixed an issue that was causing cedar items to decay much slower than intended. Bugfix: Another fix to allow proper triggering of multiple journal goals by one achievement. Bugfix: Fixes to UI lag issues. Bugfix: Moon metal archaeology fragments will now transform into proper moon metal materials when the item is completed. Bugfix: Can no longer place merchants on a bridge without a stall. PVP Change: Must now place a merchant within your own kingdom’s influence on PVP servers. Champions on Chaos With champions having been removed from Epic and never introduced onto Defiance, the topic has also come up several times about removing them from Chaos. We feel that this is the best short-term solution until we have a chance to rebalance and reintroduce them. We will disable champions for Chaos during the maintenance reset on July 12th. When this happens, any existing champion that logs in will dechamp shortly after, with -5 to all characteristics instead of the normal -6; everything else functions as a normal dechamp. We hope to bring champions back in the future, but in a way that makes them less of a requirement to remain competitive and more of a fun gameplay choice.

They get +5 to all of them when becoming a champ, and normally they would receive -6 when losing champion status so all we did was remove the -1 penalty you normally suffer as we are ending it early.

It would be nice if we could drag an item (or multiple items) from inventory onto another toon and have it open the trade window with the item already inside of it

Just remove Chaos and Epic 🙃 and let SFI PvPers portal to Defiance for PvP. Consolidate the player base and stop the dev team from being pulled in multiple directions trying to balance multiple different servers. Edit: Also please remove rare speed horses from PvP as well. Surprised they're still in over a year later. Oh yes and give us 25% skillgain on Defiance so I can grind there instead of Freedom too please, thank you.

How often have you accidentally tried to put a weapon on your right glove slot, instead of the right held item (main weapon) slot, and got the following message: [19:15:48] The longsword will not fit in the right hand. This is confusing, because of course the weapon will fit in the right hand - that's crazy! What the game means to say is this: [19:15:48] The longsword will not fit in the right hand glove slot. Please place it in the empty right hand held item slot below. Or similar. I find it's intuitive to drag a weapon to the glove symbol - I still find myself doing it after nearly 9 years of play! Is it just me?

Old good "Delete everything except my server" attitude is back! And spoken from the very young server, to remove old servers, what a surprise. Just reminder: Defiance is Epic/Chaos, just few years earlier. But who knows, maybe in few years we gonna have next "fresh" pvp server that could became the only one. Of course after removing old servers that just waste devs time. Much.

agreed

There might be some disruptions to your travels around the area of https://celebration.yaga.host/#952,1126 while we undertake major road works. We will try to minimize any issues you might have on your travels through the area but please note that the highway network might be disrupted from time to time we apologize and will fix this as soon as possible. (Typically within the same day if possible) Construction list A canal around the mountain of n15. A connection to the deadnoob sea (underground cave + highway) A connection to the underground cave canal that connects up to the great plains(not shown yet will have to think of where this will be connected when the project gets to this stage) A junction at the split off between the canal and the underground canal(see further down the post for more details on the plan) A dock in the most southern point to allow for docking of boats for easier access to rifts in the area(not planned yet how this will look) A dock at Lunar docks(Already made) --Green is currently dug and able to be sailed over(not finished paving/terraforming the road) --Red is currently being worked on and is not set in stone exactly how it will look Canal design A 2 wide slate brick highway connected road on the outside. A 2 wide canal deep enough for every boat. A 3 wide road that will be mainly used to access area's/houses along the mountainside and otherwise will be seen as a private road for the sake of what is highway and what isn't. Junction list A guard tower. A small plaza dedicated to all the gems and rope and pickaxes and shovels that have given their lives for this project. Some possible rope makers union propaganda(We need a backer after all) Multiple merchant stalls that you are free to plant your merchant into(not shown on the plan due to terrain height and rock layer needing to be checked before this is made) Possible mission objects. Plan of how the junction will look is below Please have a Moonpie on us while we work as hard and fast as we can to redesign and reconnect the area up to the highway network where needed. And sorry for any possible steppe that might be lost temporarily when the project goes through it we will work on restoring it after the project is finished. Any bridges that we might have to relocate will be planned out for first and designed an alternative for and ran by gm's to get their approval so that there will be minimal downtime for these connections to be gone. When we run close to/into the tunnel canal in the south of the mountain we hope that it will be okay to move it over if it comes down to it if this is needed and hope that the original creators would not mind it. As part of this project a lot of dead end roads and unused roads/fences will be taken care of to try and restore nature back to a more pristine state(Leaving behind obvious old settlement areas) as the area has had so many rift pens created over the last few months that this is a thing that needs to be done. (Please clean up after yourselves people) Work in process picture album Click me This is far from complete on what has been shown but shows the process from the last 2 days

Nice change, lets continue with no artis,war bonus , and nerf the Wrath of mag.

"I know myself that if i lost Chaos because a bunch of NFI wanted more people to deal with I would sit there making sure my group would have sets upon sets to throw at you to destroy your deed to drain it 5 times in a row no matter where you found your new deed no matter how quick you try to rebuild, it is not a threat it is a simple fact." thats what defiance is for, so please try.

Would be curious about this too. Believe the wiki just says "reduces decay compared to other woodtypes".

I Acualy said the exact same thing in our discord earlier today. Edit: Also awsome uppdate ❤️

Delete Chaos and Epic. We already don't have this on Defiance 😄

acid pot nerf when?:)

I sneezed while ordering my terraforming project and he was asking for payment with it complete when I looked up 11/10 freaky fast!

Can't complete a trade without the other party dragging item and you confirming the transaction. Those are 2 actions involved. It's a simple QOL thing that is much needed in Wurm and has been present in MMOS since 2003.. Tired of right click windows tbh.

Hello Fellow Wurms of Release. Scout #2 has finally completed his mission on Independence and has now arrived in your lands to explore, visit your deeds, take some selfies and publish pictures of the sights we see and admire. (Oh we removed the nicking and yoinking any decorative ideas we see.... nice) Anyway we hope to see more of your lands, if our Scout does not perish from being eaten, trapped by staircases, falling off cliffs, being changed into a monster by Wurm Gods or alas drowning or getting imprisoned. All hazards a Scout has been thoroughly trained to tactically extract themselves from (Or so i’ve been told) We will announce our presence in Freedom with a Cheery hello o/ before each stream. We do understand that not everyone wants to interact in our travels and that’s all ok. Feel free to send the Scout a pm just advise so if you do not want to. Our general rule is if our wave is not answered we will leave you alone and pass on thru. But I do hope that if we do meet you will say hello. If we don’t respond immediately it could be that we are experiencing a life threatening situation or frantically *ahem* tactically running away or just lost in the moment taking in the view. Anyway we hope you enjoy these as much as our dedicated Scouts do and we hope you will join us. Scout Two Deaths so far Update - When do we stream? - I stream every Tuesday and Friday around 10:00pm GMT but alternate between the Scouts on different Servers. You can find the channel on https://www.twitch.tv/josuhacalvert

Does anybody have any plans for authentic medieval farms? Or know where I could find any?

There are a lot of things in this game that are overly complicated, and not easily deducible. Thanks to the help of CA Help or the Wiki answering this question everytime one of the sacrifice missions comes up. Otherwise, people would have to randomly sacrifice items of varying qualities until the mission progressed. Which is most likely what the the first of us had to do. I can understand the question "What is a mission?", but having to ask why one particular works over another? I would request that the "decent" text be replaced with "30+QL" or at least "decent 30+QL". This would also allow for higher tier missions where it could be 50+QL, 70+QL, or even 90+QL. Without the need of saying above average, highly above average, and excellent. Which would create even more confusion for New Players. Benefits: CA members don't have to answer the same frequent question over, and over, and over New Players don't need to ask for help in order to figure out how to progress these missions I also know people who are too anxious to ask for help, and will often just struggle instead which sucks EXTREMELY easy fix. Only text needs to be changed. No real coding needs to be done. Just one line of code from "decent" to "30+QL" or at least "decent 30+QL" Note to the devs: If you implement my suggestion or others please credit us in the changelogs. It will not only show that you are listening, but will encourage those of us who took the time to post our suggestions, defend them, and find support for them, to continue doing so. Also, people should just always credit their sources.

Hooked me up with a nice set of steel chains and now I fight trolls and hellhounds with my 22 FS. Glad to not have to resort to running away anymore, and that set kept me alive during my last rift. Vouched

I don't like pvp games. If I can choose, its always PVE. But, Wurm is different. If you have a nice group of people on a PVP server, you can have impalongs every day. You don't feel lonely. There's always this weird feeling behind your neck when you go off deed or see a white name in local. All this makes me want to play on a pvp server. But only Epic. Because on Epic rebuilding your destroyed deed is quicker than destroying it. Remaking your gear, breeding horses is faster. All of this makes PVP more fun and accessible. That's why only Epic is good for pvp. (for me). The only reason I don't play on PVP server is, because there's not many people

Epic had a lot of cool concepts that basically were killed off because freedom wanted them. It made it unique and a separate arena feel. Unfortunately a lot of those mechanics were removed or incorporated into the mainstream servers. Removing the feel of it being unique and making it bland. It really just isn't unique enough anymore other than the grinding scene to interest anyone. The other issue is the same thing that has always happened. A majority of the players just flee one server or just return for a short time. Never really allowing a long term healthy balance of player pop for any pvp server. Even back in 2016 when the servers had a somewhat healthy pop. Obviously NFI needed a pvp map so defiance makes sense but yeah. I really just don't keep seeing the need for Pvp map shuffles. Only to have a lot of people quit when they don't want to move.

thanks ❤️

Hi Playtime, I added it to the queue but forgot to acknowledge it here, my humble apologies, we'll let you know when the Order is ready to be delivered as always Hope you enjoy your new canal, and thankyou for your continued generosity! Most of the credit should go to Solinswith and her demon pickaxe and surface mining skill

I’ve never wanted to kiss a bunch of devs more

Leaf it be.

Strength Sacrarium added, thanks

Every crying about spilled milk is moot. I do not even see the creation of the new cluster a mistake, as it gave a chance to all lovers of land rush, be it "old" or new ones, a chance to grab and develop a plot, and start a new character. And of course, it was an economic success. Even now, participation is significantly above what it was in the "crisis year" of 2019. What was done wrong from the beginning, was to solely concentrate on NFI, for some time even mainly on Cadence, and actively to discourage start on SFI. There were pinned postings in steam forum (no idea if they still exist) denigrating and denouncing SFI, Xanadu in particular. Also, in times of serious overcrowding of NFI, it was missed to create a one way portal to SFI for those who wanted as proposed several times. Instead, initial population of NFI dropped to less than one tenth of its peaks in late summer after the launch. Having been 6 to seven times more than on SFI at peak, it is now down to par, sometimes less, sometimes more, denoting that the community is roughly split in half. I do not see that sustainable in a longer range. And I fail to see dangers for SFI in a merge, or financial risks for the company. What would be important now, would be some transparency about the code split. What exactly are the differences, and how are they felt in everyday's gameplay What effort is needed to fix the code split Is there a roadmap about that

It is now back online.

should be able to activate woodscrap and combine it with another piece. Same with kindling.

At this point I am fully convinced that separating NFI from SFI was a mistake from the beginning. You split playerbases, for what? "Omg the new people will be preyed upon by the vets in this huge economy ..." vs the reality "The new people are preyed upon by vets on NFI selling the same things for overinflated prices. 90 coc casts that are cheap as hell selling for waay more on NFI.". Some players did offer warnings this would happen, yet no one listened. Keep servers separate, see what happened to Epic? Open NFI or Defiance to SFI, know what's probably gonna happen? A lot will migrate to SFI or to servers with higher player density. Prices will go down, ultimately benefiting the players in the disfavour of greedy sellers. Such a tragic thing. We had thousands of free square miles on SFI and Epic alone when Steam opened and people were complaining they had nowhere to settle on NFI....jesus.

Just let us know in local when you arrive, and me and a couple of goons will come introduce ourselves.

Yes please

I think the economical consequence of merging SFI and NFI might be a litte overestimated right now, i don't think it will be so big, and we have many chars with 99-100skills in everything here already. As i posted before, we might need some kind of mechanic that serves as a sink for rare / supreme items. And/or a new rarity tier that is actually obtainable, so that the endgame tool market doesn't get saturated beyond hope. (many people like me have 2 sets of rare-supreme tools, one in SFI, one in NFI, and who would need both? ) The rest of the economies will probalby be fine, not so many people seek profit with RMT gone. Maybe there will be a huge spike on PMK stuff demand for decorating purposes, so good for them, i guess? Maybe scale/imbue market will get hit a bit (even if it still makes a bit more sense, to keep a set of scale for every character, unlike tools), but is that really enough to stop a merge? I don't see "hordes" of newbies taking over SFI because that is just extremely unlikely. There probably will be, as a consequence, a bit too many linked servers, but i guess it's a bit too late to fix that anyway, as even too many, unlinked servers, is still bad.

"Divide and Prosper" has been a staple income strategy around here since Notch left. However, I think it has reached the point where it is giving diminishing returns... Someone PLEASE make the decision to merge the code and the player base while you still have both.

You left out 'have no interest at all in pretending to fight other people.' Your survey has the bias that assumes everyone would if any of the things you listed were different. But that isn't accurate. I have zero interest in it. In this game or any other. No change made would change that. Lots of people feel the same way. Which is why no pure pvp MMO succeeds. Ever. And look at the reality. Look at how many people 'say' they like the pvp servers but spend most of their time on pve servers. Or 'ragequit' regularly and go to pve servers - 'for a while.' Even THEY don't REALLY like it as an environment for gaming full time. The 'pvp servers' are really just the equivalent of battlegrounds in other games. I suspect treating them as such might get more activity. Set, scheduled times and locations for battles with lockout outside those times and locations. Though even that won't get many more players pvping regular. But at least it will concentrate those that do to participate by knowing when and where to be.

My Epic Home on Serenity is still accepting players both old and new. Serenity is waiting for your adventurous soul to battle the aggros, plot your own course, start a new deed, excavate old deeds, explore a wide open server! Join me and my alliance on Serenity, and lets get this server hopping again!

Scout Two takes in the views, makes a plan and heads out. Not sure we got very far though lol EP1 Available on our Twitch and YouTube Channel

Good to see a scout has made their way to release! Where are you starting from?

Great doing business with you, and it will continue in the future. I did have another order posted here, but plans have changed so I edited it to just say You guys are the best. They don't give us a delete comment button or I'd use it for this one lol.... So I guess BUMP
