  1. Often because people forget to adjust what they're grinding and how to account for the effective skill they're using. Skillgain on Epic at any given skill level is ALWAYS faster than Freedom if you're skilling in the optimum manner.
  2. -1 for this comment alone being as it is, so incorrect

  3. How to: Auction

    Hordern replied to Legios's topic in Game Guides

    I agree with Wonka. Using the incorrect forum board is "How NOT to: Auction"
  4. I forgot to bump for Round 4! Well Round 5 (the final round) has begun - Happy bidding!
  5. I use Unstable - I'll update the topic title. I never have any of my account passwords saved. Partly I prefer not to, and partly it means no one can happen across my laptop and log in to an Arch-GM account.
  6. Please - for the love of Magranon (or other deity of your choice) - make it so pressing 'Tab' once again shifts the cursor from your account name to the Password window... I thought I'd get used to it but I still have to type my password twice about 95% of the time
  7. As with just about any community in the World, the unhappy minority are usually also the most vocal. If the unhappy were a majority, WO would not be here.
  8. Well on the whole the game and what it delivers is better than ever. Last 2 years... Bridges? Not sure how long they've been in now. We've recently had a massive cooking overhaul which has added a load of new veggies, fruits etc etc and made recipes matter more with the inclusion of carbs, protein, fats and sugars giving you buffs. This update also came with bees for honey so we've got mead in game too now! Loads of bug fixes and a few bug inclusions too Siege weapons (I know we had catapults before, but now there are rams and trebuchets too). Plenty more too. As far as WU goes, yes the WO population has diminished since WU was released but it's still very much alive, though Epic is quite quiet these days I believe. Devs are looking at combat and UI as a priority for major overhauls along with the tutorial so Epic may see some resurgence with the combat changes. If you're looking to come back, you may like to [shameless plug coming] look for some deals on bits and bobs in the official auctions where we're selling off items seized after a particularly bad scamming case over a year ago. The proceeds are going to be given to the people who were scammed.
  9. Bump for Round 3 and some really cheap Round 2 items.
  10. Bump for re-run of Unsold Round 2 items with starting prices halved (note that the OP of each auction has been edited to show the new starting price).
  11. Great improvement over the 2 they held until only very recently!
  12. That would presumably be the hatchlings that give drake hide. Theoretically there is something called a Wurm in WO and I'm sure I've heard rumours of some people seeing them as hallucinations on the path of Insanity but they're most likely just rumours.
  13. Bump for new auctions and lower starting prices for unsold items

  14. Fair Warning

    Hordern replied to Hailiah's topic in Xanadu

    A Dev would have to make that call and we would respond appropriately based on the verifiable facts of the case and the dev's answer.
  15. Bump. I had to help out another puzzled follower just now.
  16. Very generous, thank you
  17. Now we just need the ability to pave a rock-like texture outside!
  18. Please see the following board for the rules, reasons and the auctions! http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/296-official-auctions/
  19. Currently when you become a priest, you still need to gain a faith tick to get the favor bar to appear. If you're on Chaos and following Libila it's also important for the server to remember you as a priest should you wish to leave the server (to Freedom) and come back - highly likely these days with the border hopping mechanics. Not much of an issue generally assuming you arrive at the BL with 30 faith and a faith gain left for the day as you can pray at the BL. However, this is not always the case and it seems silly to penalize those players making that effort just because of the timing of their prayers. If the act of becoming a priest gave the player 0.000001 faith, this would alleviate the entire issue and is hardly game breaking in so far as faith gains go. Obviously I'm suggesting all gods should receive this 'boost' upon becoming a priest for fairness though it's only really needed to Libila for server hop purposes.

  20. What do you look like

    Hordern replied to a topic in Wood Scraps

    I've been busy...
  21. Ooooh, I won a carving knife! Thanks @Evening! Many thanks @Nestangol for arranging this public slaying, nothing ever goes completely smoothly but thankfully all that hiccuped here was getting at the dragon's cave - stupid iron vein... Hopefully you're online when I next log in, but if not no worries, I'll post here and ask you to send my carver CoD
  22. So I've reached Hermit's Hunting Lodge - is that the right place, or do I need to go further?

  23. Rift 6th Nov

    Hordern replied to Wulfmaer's topic in Xanadu

    I've arrived, I've chopped some trees and imped some stuff for a couple of folks who were prepping the place - I'm all set for tomorrow morning, see you in 12 hours (ish)!
  24. I may be able to make this. If I can find the time to travel there on Thursday (slaying is Friday morning for me), I'll join in Incidentally, if people who win charges want the charges and are not sure about trusting each other but are willing to trust me to handle it and they have valuable items with them - such as drake armour etc. - I'd be happy to hold those items as collateral while they use the charge. Might not come to it, but it's a thought if I'm there and it keeps things smooth

  25. Rift 6th Nov

    Hordern replied to Wulfmaer's topic in Xanadu

    I've not been in Wurm since Rifts were added, and this one is about 30 mins travel from my deed (with a bit of luck), so count me in
