Hello all, Today’s post topic is regarding bugs and exploits. What is a bug? A bug is a small bit of code scurrying around in the system doing something we did not intend. A lot like a roach or cricket crawling around in the shadows in your kitchen. You don’t really know what it gets up to until your party guests are lying on the floor in need of a doctor. It’s no secret that bugs exist within Wurm Online, but our focus going into 2023 will be to address them as we can. An exploit however, is when a bug can provide a material gain or an advantage in skill or ability beyond what is intended. It’s not always easy to determine a bug or an exploit, but when your gains vastly outweigh the effort, you can be sure that you’ve found something unintended. If you choose to use a bug for whatever gain it may provide, then you are elevating the bug to an exploit and you are cheating. Normal bugs should be reported on the forum so that we are aware of them, but exploits or more sensitive bugs can be reported by placing a support ticket in-game. You can access this by typing /support or pressing Escape, then finding Support under the Tools menu. If you are unable to put the report into a support ticket in-game, then you may send the information to us by email via support@wurmonline.com, or by contacting Pomona via forum PM, or her work email pomona@wurmonline.com These are the official methods for reporting bugs and exploits that will be considered for potential rewards. These exploits will be reviewed for severity, and a reward may be offered to the player who first mentioned it. Please keep in mind that making the details of exploits public will exclude you from the rewards mentioned above. You will also be subject to moderation as per the rules as we do not want the exploits to proliferate while we correct them. We are strict about abusing exploits and will take action against the accounts in question, up to and including permanently banning the account. As part of running the game, we log quite a bit of data and can often use statistics to prove who may have been exploiting a bug. This means that we will take action appropriate for the offence. Wurm Online needs honest people to let us know when things seem wrong. Abusing exploits can have an impact on many areas of the game. It’s up to all of us to keep things fair and help fix the problems in the game. Do not assume that we are all knowing and automatically see everything and will magically come fix it. We rely on you to alert us to most bugs that we have not caught in testing and to alert us to anyone exploiting any bugs. Finally, when we penalise someone for exploiting a bug, we will always reserve the right to review the severity of that exploit and the severity of the punishment. Don’t complain after the fact, when someone you have an issue with is actively playing again because you knew something about them and did not bother to report them to us. If you see something, say something. All reports are confidential and we always investigate. We are here to help, so make use of us and report bugs and possible exploits to us so we can continue to improve Wurm Online. Thanks for reading, and happy Wurming!

I know I will ruffle some feathers with this post, and I honestly don't care. This is a topic that means a lot to me, and I have some things to say about it. But.... I realize this is an opinion. This doesn't come from a place of putting anyone down or judging anyone harshly. We all have different playstyles. That being said, I'm going to wade into the deep water.... I am first and foremost a looter. I always have been. My *reason* for looting is nostalgia. I have not sold anything I have looted ever. I search for items with signatures for the museum and have since day one, even before I knew I was going to make a museum. The signatures have always mattered to me more than the items. Mats I get go to impalongs and new folks who need stuff. But I need to state here that I am not holding myself apart from those who loot fallen deeds. I do it. I love it. I love the rush of a wall coming down and ooooooh what is Inside there?! I've done it for 7 years. What I have found in that time is Most of the time, and by that I mean over 70% of the time, if I have found a deed that has fallen that has a ton of very valuable stuff in it, the person who owned it has suffered a tragedy or crisis irl. We can absolutely do better by each other than to have an alt stand there until a wall falls down, for weeks on end, not making any attempt at all to contact the person who owned the stuff. It is easy to check signatures on the items in the area and find who lived there. It is easy to go to the forum, GL, pms, whatever, to try and contact that person or their friends. Folks I have personally talked to who lost everything that way - here is what they were doing....Taking care of a parent who suddenly went on hospice, hospitalized themselves with serious illness (multiple cases of this), losing a house, losing a loved one (miltiple cases of this), battling mental illness (multiple cases of this), losing access to internet. Imagine going through something like that, and then coming back to Wurm, to see your friends, or even just your nice deed and your stuff and finding it all gone, looted, with no way at all of ever getting it back? People have Often lost things this way that they were holding onto because they belonged to players who have Died. Please. Please, if you are ready to loot a deed, take some time to find the player first. Please. Some of these people have spent years making this game what it is, and no one deserves to come back from an irl crisis to having everything they built gone. Ask around. Contact alliance members. PM them. Check the forum and write a message. It's the kind thing to do. It's the Least we can do for each other. This is all about PVE. If you are looting on PVP servers....well. Good luck with that. LOL Have at it. It is great fun, but expect to die any second.

Sanctions on players do get reviewed, and can generally be appealed. Sometimes, this process results in a reduction or downgrading of an applied sanction. When taking such a decision, the team take into account all evidence before them, including much that is not public. Per Enki's post (linked above), if you have evidence of poor behaviour, bring it to the GM team, and it will be reviewed. Nothing has changed regarding what is or is not acceptable under the rules, and evidence is required to be able to make good calls. This thread started as a request for information, but has quickly descended into rumour-mongering, straw-man speculation, and KvK posting, none of which has a place here.

Looting on PvE is more cut-throat than PvP.

So been doing arch for some time now. Noticed there are still quite a few items that are not on the Archaeology list for finding with frags. Bows Anvils Needles Crowbars and much much more is there a chance we can see more items added in future?

Server Changelog Bugfix: Fixed description when examining Nogump. Bugfix: Fixed a text error on bait in the tackle box. Bugfix: Fixed a grammar error when examining a barrel of fermenting whisky. Bugfix: Fixed a grammar error when examining a vehicle with an Adamantine rune attached. Bugfix: Fixed a text error when receiving rift points. Bugfix: Fixed a text error when examining items. Bugfix: Prevented size runes from reducing an item’s size to zero. Bugfix: Fixed treasure map images when being mailed. Bugfix: Added discord/server feed integration to missing area, condense unique slaying messages into 1 message for discord/server feed but leave as normal for twitter. Bugfix: You will now receive the message on the first page, that you are not able to send mail cross cluster, when sending mail. Bugfix: Prevented rift points being added before a rift has started. Change: Examining or inspecting a creature will now show three possible levels of hunger instead of two: Not hungry, hungry enough to eat, and very hungry. For clarification, the amount of hunger needed for a creature to be called “Very hungry” is the same threshold previously used for “hungry”.

All priest owners rejoice! Say a prayer for our Grootyboy and his legendary persistence! Long may he chase treasure maps! As promised, Southern Harmony Alliance has yet again trapped a unique, this time a dragon and made the slaying available for the whole community. All are welcome, even those who *cough* keep their slayings "close to their heart (and wallet)". Red dragon blood makes a ropemaking imbue. Alts policy: Knock yourself out, let's crash the server, who cares. 🙂 Sermons: Altars will be available and queue will be maintained, please be respectful and don't try to ninja a sermon. Fo priests will be available to cleanse your cooties, so non-priests please dismount and huddle up around altars. LOCATION: https://harmony.yaga.host/#2931,3023 Location revealed a bit earlier than announced, If you activated any alts please send them to help sermoners! VYN FOLLOWERS, ENSURE YOUR SB IS BURNED, WE'RE HAVING ROS AT THE SAME TIME! Not sure if timer is right. Slaying is at 21:00 GMT on Saturday, 25/02/23 http://

Simple change to taunting to give it some more use as it's pretty useless in pve atm and borderline useless in pvp and make it not awful to grind - Allow taunting same target, if taunt is successful and target is already attacking you target swaps to aggressive and is locked in aggressive for duration based on power - Add taunt keybind - Scale timer based on stance/skill, defensive should have lowest timer, normal average timer, aggressive same as it currently is. (PVP) Give resistance similar to stuns to prevent chain taunting - Make the skill check actually check the defenders mind logic as it's supposed to, it's currently broken and you can taunt 90+ ML toons with no taunting skill - Fix taunting/changing targets resetting the 20s before you can focus, it worked like this for over a decade before it was broken when you fixed the new ui being unable to focus/removed the non-functional characteristics checks from it - (PVP) Prevent swapping from target after they're taunted for duration based on power. Currently you just set up a wurmassistant screech for "You see red and turn to attack", instantly retarget your previous target and the enemy spent 7 seconds to interrupt your swing Gives taunting pve uses as forcing mobs into aggressive makes them much easier to hit at the expense of the tank taking more dmg, makes it actually useful in pvp outside draining tokens/breaking someones focus timers as the 7 seconds it takes to taunt just for them to instantly swap back to their original target is laughable and is straight up a waste of time outside of the times that it'd just bug out their combat window and make them unable to fight until they relog

One easy implementation would be removing the weird requirement to be a God's faith to build its colossus. They aren't tied to domains or anything so i dont see the reasoning behind it and it makes building a difficult item a pain.

Would have been nice, had someone done that instead of looting my deed when it fell while I spent a year in the hospital yea. 😕 In the end I knew the rules, my 1 year of upkeep was not enough as RL struck me so I sucked it up and spent 200euros on buying most of what I lost anew. I know who did it or was a part of it, as they made a storage unit to organize for easier looting and a crate rack at the shore, but whatever really... rules are rules and I just happened to be double unlucky and have meanies loot my deed, wish it would have been you Nirav. Personally I never looted, I don't leave my deed much if at all and even when I do, there are not many deed close by my place and I don't pay attention to the announcements either, I just don't care as much really.

Similar to Bulk Storage bin 1/4 the foot point 1/4 the storage why. not everything requires 16,000 volume storages. this isn't a essential item. but would be nice for crafting stations for that don't require high Volume storage for crafting and the time isn't just giant bins taking over most of the floor. what would I use this for. near my dye station, near my runes station, and any kind of thing that doesn't require large and cases where a Crate or crate rack item count doesn't make sense for storage.

As someone who stores tons of items from gone players I want to say: Well spoken!

Feel like that is related to this topic, especially he said "Please keep in mind that making the details of exploits public will exclude you from the rewards mentioned above. You will also be subject to moderation as per the rules as we do not want the exploits to proliferate while we correct them.", "Finally, when we penalise someone for exploiting a bug, we will always reserve the right to review the severity of that exploit and the severity of the punishment. Don’t complain after the fact, when someone you have an issue with is actively playing again because you knew something about them and did not bother to report them to us. If you see something, say something. All reports are confidential and we always investigate.".

Part 1:

Kinda random. Seeking a Wurm friend I could receive and give great music Youtube/Soundcloud/Spotify links to, from the heyday of electronica/acid techno/rave music. Kinda isolated in that regard and hoping to find it here, perhaps! I was 15 in 1995, when I discovered this great love of my life, musically speaking. EDM is still my #1, but oldschool electronica had something extra magic in it. Are you out there, pal?! 🙈

Make Hens and Roosters Omnivores like in real life.

We recommend leaving Holy Sites off PvP (at least Defiance) for at least the first few weeks, until the balances are more real world tested.

Shimmering Sands Stables at M9 on the server of Melody, has been lucky enough to produce a brand new colt named "Dogwhinny" with the "It is unbelievably fast" trait. This little guy is a 5-speed Blood Bay colored male horse and is looking for a good home! He's available in stall #92 for the price of 1 gold. If you've been looking to get your very own unbelievably fast riding horse, come on over and grab him for yourself instead of fussing with the hassle and stress of auctions and bidding wars. Interested in other horses we have for sale? Check out our forum post for more information.

Andddd.... SOLD! Congratulations to Sheriff for the purchase of this fine steed. He'll be tearing through the meadows leaving a trail of fire behind him once this colt turns into a stallion!

Improve the ingame maps. Fairly sure when I asked it's because the resolution isn't very good and that's why the H and K look very similar. Would love to have a pass done on them to maybe allow them to be sized/stretched or maybe just redrawn totally to be more up to date, with better scaling in mind from the start.

I can provide Bowyery and carpentry

Have a repeat order - 1k pottery bricks, 2k marble bricks, 3k mortar, thanks!

send to Smwoodburn please thank you very much!

No wonder it is slow if it does things two times! Guessing a slight problem with the latest fix, I'll take a look soon™. For towers, there is no api's to fetch these, so only way to get them listed is of some explorer adds them to the map.

Congrats on win, who do i COD to?

My hat off to you, Nirav. Great points.

A very nice and considerate idea.

At least they could share the exploits and cheats that are legal now with the rest of us..

Can't wait, hope to be there with my newbie friend in tow ❤️

That is how it works, yes.

Sweet! Will help out with carp, shipbuilding and tailoring

+1 Lets undo some wogic!

Weren't you upvoting every post your cheerleader squad was making about bogus moderation/no transparency and "unbanning the Non Toxic players" ?? How is this any different here? That's exactly what happens if there's no transparency people start to question why was he banned and why was he unbanned? Is staff involved? Is there any priviledges for some and not all? Is this game fair to play?

I've always thought perma bans are to harsh. I know some baddies have had long bans and came back and continued, there's also players that love the game and get carried away. For these players a 1 to 3 month or even a year ban is punitive.

Mr. Wuf, May I send you a Gold sickle for imping to 95? Revanthebutcher in game

i forgot horse tools. like a pull behind plow that allows 4 tiles to be cultivated at the same time. I think wurm unlimited someone coded 4 tiles or 9 tiles at the same time. just think it would be cool to one day add horse type tools. oh and a tree hulling wagon. mainly a wagon skin to look like logs/trees filled it.

I was just looking at my character page and noticed there is some redundancy under the "deeds" and "mission structures" sections. I thought maybe it was a loading issue, reloaded, same result. Checked the page of a friend I know also has a deed and had completed structures and encountered the same thing there. According to this record, I have deeded 10 times, rather than 5, and did the same mission structure 2x rather than once. edit: I also notice that this does not record my one guard tower.

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not a problem. Everyone has jobs, tasks, responsibilities, RL important things to do. People don't have time to login for 2 hours just to travel from point A to point B on Xanadu. Most people will not define that as fun. You might extract pleasure from it. Doesn't mean it's for everyone.

Added, thanks ❤️

I love you devs! Is there any chance that "ride" keybind will be added? That would be so smooth to jump on horse together with "start_leading" bind.

Should be fairly soon.

@Darklordswhat happened to the map dumps, is there ETA for the release

We all know the deal; grind 100 faith and all magic is at your fingertips. By 50 channeling, most spells are pretty effective and enchant shatters are minimal. But what if higher levels of channeling opened up new uses for existing spells, some examples being: Casting morning fog as a helmet enchant at 70 channeling to make the wearer immune to beestings Casting strongwall at 60 channeling on statues to reduce their decay rate offdeed. Casting pillar of ice at on larders at 70 channeling to spawn snowballs in their iceboxes. Casting cleanse on a player at 80 channeling to remove disease etc Little uses for existing spells that unlock with higher levels of channeling (reflecting much more fine tuned control on the priest's part). Nothing aimed at PvP, just little extra uses for spells one may not cast too much.

Terrible idea. Foraging provides mainly foodstuffs and resources, botanizing herbs and seeds. Keeping that apart makes well sense. Moreover: Crippling these skills means doubling the territory a player has to check for the same amount of experience, material, and last not least, chance to get coins. That way it not only dispossesses and disenfranchises starter and medium level players, but also increases the chances of inter player conflicts, and, even more, the chance to be killed by mobs during search. Also, players in bit higher skill range would have to double the effort when searching for resources in the wild, for example when cotton has run out and they need to heal up. And as to mobs: It would be a shame to nerf the helllhound. It is one of the most interesting and best balanced hostile creatures for medium range players in the game. Yes it is deadly for lower skilled and poorly equipped ones unless they find a guard tower soon (part of learning the game), but it is a high damage and poor defense creature. Range and speed are similar to wolves, but it justifies its dangerous look. Moreover, it is a tameable creature. Please do not touch it.

+1 Seriously These would be ideal gifts for the founder mayor, villagers, and anyone who was once part of the old deed. Come to think of it, we need something similar for mayors, villagers and past members of existing deeds, including those players who have left, drifted away or logged back in somewhere after a period of absence. If we want these players to return - they ought to find an official town sigil in their inventory when they log in, as a reminder which way to go to return home. We don't all live in the past, and it would be nice if these returning players can log back in to see some graphical proof that they are still part of something current.
