If the team has ran out of ideas for skins, just take your time it's alllllllllll good.

Thanks to an anonymous finder for locating and donating this unique for a public slaying! An anonymous searcher has found an unusual creature: whilst dragon-like in appearance, it also has the green colouration of a reptile, and the beak of a bird! The creature has been identified as an Aged Green Skeksis Hatchling. How it came to be here is as-of-yet unknown. It was caught possessing some sort of crystal. The Skeksis has been safely captured at Bruce's Flying Circus at 13n. The crystal gives off a dark energy, and it is imperative that we prevent this creature from using this crystal. It must be defeated. Be sure to arrive early, if you're late you'll miss it! /servertime: Sun Apr 28 21:00:00 CEST 2024 Discord timecode: <t:1714330800:F>, which is <t:1714330800:R> Timer:

I've forwarded your feedback and you have been heard. Future skins will be more serious.

[17:50:58] You are now too far away to attack The venerable troll king. I know, him, you all know him. It's the king of all trolls in person. Found him, enclosed him in a mountain cell and now I need some, or all of you to help me make him scarce again. Location: Melody, K15, WEST of the 'Deme 234' Tower and the highway known as Tich Trail, near Pnut's Palace https://melody.yaga.host/#843,920 I'll be waiting, and so will he! Yours truly, Silviustrz of the Moonlight Shores!

It almost feels like a piss-take because so many players pointed out that the rabbit ears and rabbit backpack took the game down a stylistic path we don't want it to run with: This. This is the direction we don't want it to go in. The game is starting to look like a point-and-click adventure for toddlers who are learning all their animals and colours.

A Cozy Little Place to Work In

Roadmap says "a few weeks" until things reach test - nearly 2 months later and not even an announcement of anything going to test...has Wurm been secretly in maintenance mode the past year?

The silver shop skins rarely update/rotate through previous monthly skins. It would be great to have the silver shop on a monthly rotation schedule similar to the new skin release schedule. There are many previous existing skins that players would love to have but aren't able to acquire. It seems like a simple change that could help produce a bit of extra revenue for the team without much effort.

Is there an ETA for the server portals? I’m curious because the PVP side of the game would love to start planning and many are extremely excited.

I do not buy every skin and I will not be buying this one for the following reason: Wurm has an excellent art director and invariably the skins look lovely but; In my opinion, having a nest of birds on my head does not look right for the game- even if I was a teen (and i am definitely not!). I would purchase a bird nest skin- and possibly more than just one- if instead it had been applied to something like a pottery planter with the nest surrounded by the flowers. This could have made it a beautiful piece of decoration to brighten up a house or even place adjacent to village paths. Basically- and again, only in my opinion- an excellent piece of digital art but applied to the wrong item.

Someone took @Darnoksuggestions seriously, finally!

2 ticks to go until I get the last Tracking title, after more than a decade of on-and-off grind

Just look at all the latest pmk art. Goodbye immersion or at least following a theme. 😆 +1 for a phobia mode that lets us select and turn off particularly off-putting things we'd rather not see.

With today's patch the outdated text was removed from the portal map on the tutorial server:

I had to check the monthly skin post to understand what this meant.... yup It is horrible If you run out of ideas or couldn't design a new skin, just rerun one of the old ones.

Heya i threw together a tutorial on how to make a cluster for wurm unlimited servers. Its more or less rather an archival functionality, because every now and then i want to make a cluster and fiddle with it for days because i keep forgetting steps and sometimes the client just doesn't like me. So if you ever wanted to make a cluster and didn't make it yet, this video is for you!

An NPC driven large cart that travels the whole server using the highways. There would be several of them. They are like wagoneers but they carry people instead of bulk items. A newbie is given 3 free undroppable untradable tickets at character creation to take a free ride on that large cart. The character becomes invulnerable while it is a passenger on the noobwagen. The name is just for memes, not a name suggestion for the vehicle. Everyone else can also ride on the noobwagen by buying tickets from the silver shop or the marks shop (or both), which would be significantly expensive. The ticket has a 3h duration and that duration is only used up when the person is on the noobwagen. The player can embark and disembark at anytime but the invulnerability only works as passenger of the noobwagen. The player can't interact with anything in any way other than looking around and chatting while sitting as a passenger on the noobwagen. The primary purpose of this feature is to allow new players to easily and safely travel within the game to observe the game and the server they started, and meet and chat with people along the way. Unlike wagoneers, they shouldn't spam the local chat saying strange things.

of course the runes don't make sense and can be dispelled lol [13:28:45] A copper rune of Magranon has been attached, so it will have a higher chance to be successfully improved (5%) and increase the chance of increasing rarity when improved (5%) [13:28:45] A seryll rune of Libila has been attached, so it will increase chance to resist shattering when being enchanted (5%) and reduce the quality change when repairing damage (5%) Starting bid: 40 s Increment (minimum): 1 s Sniper Protection: 10 min Private Bids: not accepted

So many precious gems!!! Being able to store all of them is a chore with the containers provided. I would like to suggest a BSB that is exclusively for gems. Most players that use them go to one collection of receptacles, they are not stored all over the place. A cabinet, display case, or otherwise would be a huge asset, and remove a lot of unnecessary storage. Not essential, but would be nice 👌

Where is the promised trader replacement for deeds to be able to purchase?

Could you make it so that when I put a forum user on ignore, their threads are no longer visible on the forum pages, rather than just hiding their posts within those threads? Thank you.

Darnok, I think we all can appreciate your passion to making the game better, but the last few suggestions that I have read from you would require a significant amount of time and effort from our already limited dev team. I would strongly suggest you take a look at the city hall section of the forums, look at the dev posts to get an idea of what they are planning for this year, and then think where they can slot this on, or what other project should be bumped. WU has a very friendly mod community, and maybe you can start there to see actual interest. Perhaps sirens some time learning Java so you can work on adding these features to WU. On top of interest and difficulty, you would also have a mod that could be worked in, code and art assets.

I've suggested this many times in the past and it has been years since I've last suggested it, so there it is.

At this point in time I don't even know if its AI, its mainly the approach or number of suggestions aren't even the egregious part of this spam - its the clear lack of understanding of inherent and easily digestible game systems that keep having out of pocket and ridiculous suggestions made to them. Out of the last handful of suggestions, the players in question have even suggested features literally promoted in roadmaps or update posts. Its literally spam and trolling. Thats all it is. Staff refusing to punish this player or at least banish the posts to woodscraps is now my actual major concern with this issue. A suggestion to a game mechanic that doesnt even exist or even function in the way the suggestion proposes isn't a suggestion.

Today marks an anniversary worth noting: exactly one year ago, we brought forth a suggestion that has since echoed throughout the community with unwavering resonance. It's been a full year since we emphasized the longing for log cabins to grace the landscapes of WO, yet here we are, another year gone by, and the dream remains unrealized. In the vast expanse of virtual worlds, it's surprising that the simple pleasure of constructing a log cabin, nestled among the trees or adorning a lakeside campsite, still eludes us. For almost a decade now, this idea has been nurtured, discussed, and championed by numerous voices, each echoing the sentiment that such an addition would enrich the WO experience immeasurably. We stand among those voices, firm in our belief that the allure of log cabins transcends mere aesthetics; it speaks to a desire for immersion, for a deeper connection to the virtual environments we inhabit. With each passing day, the absence of this feature feels increasingly conspicuous, a missed opportunity to satisfy the yearnings of countless adventurers who seek solace and adventure in the great outdoors of WO. As we reflect on the journey of the past year, we remain hopeful that our plea does not fall on deaf ears. We've compiled previous suggestions, a testament to the enduring desire within the community for log houses and cabins to become a reality. Let us not dwell solely on the passage of time, but instead, let it serve as a reminder of the perseverance and passion that drive us forward. Together, let's continue to advocate for the inclusion of log cabins in WO, knowing that with each day, we inch closer to seeing our collective vision come to life.

It's not about feeling pressured to buy things, it's about the fact that the game's visual identity is already hanging on by a thread. New items are imported from various creators, in various styles and with non-matching models and textures. It's a garbled mess that's gradually bleeding the game of any kind of uniformity. Eventually the game will have more shitty and ridiculous looking novelty items to define it than it has an actual semblance of identity.

I think the skin is fine personally, but I also think the cute/fun skins shouldn't be part of the monthly ones; just put those on the shop.

Couldn't agree more. Take a look on the monthly skin catalogue since the beginning on the wurmpedia.. Don't have to be Einstein smart to see that it really derailed and became a joke lately.. Bird hats, teddy bear backpacks, bucket helms, santa beards... oh well... to add on this, maybe scrap this monthly skin idea in general, and instead work on skins in bulk. People want character customisation options for years.. They want selection of skins to choose from for all helm types, for all weapon types, for all armor types, for horse saddles, for large carts, for anything it would allow them to customise the looks of their in-game character in the open.. Make it happen, put skins permanently in the silver shop to buy. Thank me later for increased wurm proffits

I agree. I think the graphics departments (Saroman?) time is better spent doing something else than birds in a freaking hat.

All I can say is OMFG I am speechless that someone actually thought yes this works

Making runes and keeping runes stored is pretty messy right now. They are sorted by the wood/stone/crystal type, then god, then metal type. Making runes is pretty annoying when you only need 1 to attach to something you need to get out all the lumps smelt them together etc., get the rune mats from wherever you keep em and make rune - try to attach - fail - go back to making - wait i ran out of mats. So my suggestion is add this new book type where you load up runes into store as many charges of a particular rune as you want, have them sorted by whatever you want and give description which does what and attaches to what (some runes attach to all types of stuff regardless of material). You open this book UI, select your rune and it activates, attach to your item and if it failed/succeeded you get the next charge activated now. Or just activate the book and on right click you would get all possible rune attach options based on what you have and the target Next level stuff would be loading up the grimoire with rift mats so that you dont have to keep em on an alt or magic chest or something. Or maybe a grimoire stand where you can keep all that stuff and then add runes to your grimoire idk. Not gonna lie the coolness factor is bigger than utility here, runes are cool. You would unlock the rune pictures as you add new rune types to your book.

Defiance doesn’t necessarily deserve PMKs, and chaos doesn’t necessarily deserve defiance-like features. We’d be unwinding the work of the devs and the community. Defiance was a concept that community agreed on before its inception. “What would an ideal PvP server look like? “ They decided on removing the junk from chaos to create a concept with a low barrier of entry for new players. Like no bags of keeping, no tomes, no war bonus, limited med paths, etc. Things that new players would NEED to be competitive on chaos. The long term solution for this is wait for the portal system and hunt on defiance. You want changes cause you now refuse to play on a server that has what you want. That screams entitlement which is what the staff have to deal with daily. Trash brought up a good point which would be to unlink Chaos from freedom if the devs decide to go down this slippery slope. Otherwise, -1. Keep chaos chaos.

Ive never really understood this, does what someone else wears or uses impact your game play or is it simply some kind of pve measurement of who is winning the game since you cant smash each others face in to decide? If its about haves vs have nots then wouldnt this help things become more affordable for the have nots? Not that I think that would happen either tbh, people cried that having dragons as a renewable resource would tank the market when previously they had been finite but it didnt really change that much in the end either.

I am sorry Darnok but this is the most ridiculous one you've come up with mate, its glaringly obvious you don't play this damn game. How can someone that cried over some ###### marble veins be so happy to "Field, tree, bush or animal, it is turned into a shadow, a dark tree or dark animal, which also disappears after eclipse ends." Why would people want all of their veins they are busting to just fill up suddenly? Do you even understand what the hell stealth is in this game? Or how there is no movement restrictions on the armour you've mentioned? Please for the love of god staff this is getting ###### ridiculous at this point.

What a terrible suggestion. It is amazing you put all this effort into creating suggestions that doesn't fit in with Wurm at all ever.

Just curious how many folk are hoping to be able to travel or transfer between the clusters - if/when this becomes an option! Please let me know your opinions below, or if I've missed anything.

When I log in as a deed owner, could I see additional information in event window, such as upkeep time? Besides, if there were more animals on deed, a list could be displayed with those that are new since I logged out, something like: New animals: [horse], [dog], [sheep]... with those tags/links we use in trade channel to show items. If mine tile collapsed, owner could also receive information about it or village plan should also allow viewing deed's underground. Maybe also information on how many decay hit events there have been for a given deed since last login. How many fields need our action and how many are already ripe for harvesting.

Radagast wants his hat back....

I won't be happy until we get a Pokemon onesie.

Wurm has teleportation, how exactly is paying an npc to slowly taxi you on player-built infrastructure 'a walk in the park' or dumbing it down? This doesn't make sense to me. Heck, brand new players even get a free one time instant teleport when they join a deed, and if they do some missions, they can teleport with karma. A taxi system is more immersive, it's not a simple easy teleport, and it promotes developing infrastructure. If you want wurm to be easymode, if you want a walk in the park, if you want it dumbed down: Use summon soul

PLEASE can the Master cape be re-looked at on NFI. We have currently completed the games highest achievement and we are stuck with this on one server. There is no way to achieve this goal for a second time to ever gain the cape on both PvP and PvE on the NFI servers yet on SFI they can simply travel between the 2. It is a non drop/untradable item. What would the harm be having this on both freedom and PvP?

It is primarily for newbies to have an easy and quick way to go sightseeing and see what people are doing or what they have built without dying to the first hell hound after the first 300 tiles. It is called noobwagen, not vetwagen. It is not specifically designed for people who have priests and friends with priests with high faith all around the game that would summon them. It is specifically for newbies while it is also a benefit to everyone else. Most people only have access to priest summons while large events such as public slayings or rifts are going on. I believe it would help player retention significantly. Note: I don't think anyone in their right mind would ever implement it on the PvP servers so PvP players have nothing to worry about.

Whoa slow down friend, i somehow slept long enough that 3 new suggestions were posted by you, I can only handle so much sadness per day! O.o

I'm not moving to another server, have deed on SFI and staying. I support unrestricted Ship Travel rather than a portal system; I am in favor of Ship travel between ALL servers... SFI, NFI, and "Theater" (let the "Theater" PvP rule set remain on Theater server Isles ONLY.) I am not against portals if the Devs put them in... It's just my opinion the Devs should use the transport system Wurm already has... Ship Travel and should build the access to all Servers based on that existing system.

Just to mention that practically all "NFIers" screaming over the outlook of a merge are alts of Freedom veterans who colonized and dominated NFI sheeple from the steam launch.
