Mines are a different game layer while buildings are the same as 'outdoors'. I doubt very much it's as simple to turn it off in houses, or it would have been done when mines were 'fixed' for rain. It would possibly be relativey easy to turn off rain while a character is in a completed building, but this would likely mean anywhere within the completed ground floor plan of a building, meaning you could be on a balcony on a house and not see rain while there IS rain (it would also affect bridges as they're structures too). THis would also mean you couldn't see it was raining while it actually is. Some people might say 'great, so no rain while in a house and I can have nice views while on my balcony', but personally I prefer what we have now than that situation - personal perference though, I like variety in my weathers, whether they're in doors or out

WTH? That's staggeringly slow. Took me no time at all to get to 20 fishing as a non premium on golden valley (I've not done much in the way of fishing since). So unless something has radically changed with fishing in the last few years, somethings wrong there.

I usually read a lot of Terry Pratchett books (and start again when I've finished them all ), but I've taken a bit of a break. Recently read No Damage by Kathryn Hodgson. True memoir of 4 to 5 years of her life going through all sorts of difficult circumstances (2 runaway fiances, her mum getting cancer and ending up in jail in South Africa!) and how she dealt with it all to come out the other side - very inspiring whist also tear inducing and hilarious at times. Currently reading The Hiram Key. A fascinating book about the origins of Freemasonry, Christianity, The Templars and more which also goes in to huge detail and uncovers very interesting links between Sumeria, Ancient Egypt and the current Christian and Jewish faiths. Very fact heavy book which is not an 'easy' read. Well worth it though!

Hardly, it still gives JK two chances to gain powerful items per scenario instead of 1 as per every other kingdom. Allowing only followers to completemissions would also stuff up the many players who are follow other gods for various reasons. I can also just imagine the uproar when everyone on Freedom can only do 1 mission, though the fact that that could have come about because someone wanted even more missions made a suggestion would be hilariously ironic

It wasn't a case of there being 'room', it was a case of being unbalanced in favor of JK template kingdoms for rewards etc. As such it's a no from me.

No thanks - tedious if you accidentally let prem slip then have to get a lift 'home'. Especially if home is the far side of Chaos. Better to just lock the account out until it pays than tele to Deli.

Heh, and I've just seen a skinny cat with a moustache standing on the nose of the 'dog/bear' thing I outlined in my above post.

There was a whole thread devoted to imagery in walls from a year or two ago, this was my contribution:

What error message are you getting when you try and log in?

Then you're typing the account name incorrectly because that's the message recieved for trying an account name that has not been registered.

I can see my house from there! One day I might tunnel through the mountain to reach that highway - thanks for your work

Well seeing as boats decay really slowly as it is, that doesn't have much of an impact, and as the news mentions, there is the possibility for graphical skining for wood type in the future. Of course we don't know which type of wood will look the best after such an update, so it's all pot luck when that happens

You registered a game account here? http://jenn001.game.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp?c=register Forum and game accounts are not the same thing.

No Rocky.

Aha, that makes sense

Ride, not command. Can't do any of those things with just the permission to be a passenger.

To be honest all of our comments were in your interest. Considering your responses, your leaving the the title alone is more a reflection of you than Kmoufle at this point and I'm not here to step in directly to protect people from their own consequences.

While no one is suggesting the thought behind your actions is wrong, people are commenting that labelling Kmoufle as the thief is a very wild supposition as you have no evidence to support it. He could be entirely innocent and you could unwittingly damage their reputation through making assumtions.

Well at least then you can point your fingers back at the relevant thread and say 'well we did say...'. I'd also suggest that given the lenth of time bridges have been on test, and the amount of bug processing going on, it's seems to be a pretty concerted effort to make the release as bug free as possible whereas if I remember correctly, the things you mentioned weren't on for very long before being added to live if indeed they were on test beforehand at all.

For the first part what you said made sense, I was just pointing out that just because someone files a report, doesn't mean that person has done something wrong. As for bringing in the knarr incident etc, you're the one who used police examples before, I wasn't talking about any particular incident in Wurm. Since you bring it up though, yes, I am somewhat familiar with both the cases you refer to - it was me that issued the first warning. For the latter part, you seem to be assuming that players we catch breaking rules don't get punished. That's an incorrect assumption. Just like RL, punishments escalate with repetition, we don't often start with the maximum penalty, just like a first theft case in RL won't net you life imprisonment. That doesn't stop people being repeat offenders in RL too - THAT is up to the individual involved, NOT the police. The police just have to try and control matters, rehabilitate where possible, and cut out what can't be saved when it's completely clear that's the case. It's not so bad, I use IRC chat rooms in game to stay in touch with various groups, and as staff I have a myriad of other concerns to occupy my time. I'm also a hermit in game, so prefer peace and quiet on the whole You're making considerable assumptions about the entirety of punishments dealt out. Incidentally, if someone in RL took something, was then forced to pay for it and served a punishment for the crime; would you say they're not then entitled to sell the item on later? Of course they would, it's theirs legitimately by then and they can post it for sale if they like. The GM team isn't here to hand out the death sentence to every crime for a first offence. There are very few things we ban for straight off the bat. We first try and get the player to understand the spirit of the game and give them a chance to change and become a valued member of the community. Players who don't learn fast, find they're not welcome pretty fast.

LIkewise, and it's why I'm not in any alliances.

What if the police punished that person for the first law breaking and need to gather evidence for subsequent events? the fact that it happened again is the fault of the police? There's also a difference between a theft report and a conviction for law breaking.
