  1. Pick all my deed keys up from my cart in the woods. Then probably get some sleep.
  2. Continued Downtime

    Looks like they managed to get Rolf in to an escape pod. Crisis over for this thread. "Bah, foiled again!" - Doughboy
  3. Serenity too. Can;t remember lag this bad since pre-Epic days.
  4. Great event in a lovely setting. The organisation was spot on and impossible without a lot of GM magic so thanks to all involved. You have set the standard now, I hope you enjoyed it as much as the guests! Think I have a bit of a Freedom tour in store to visit some of the Wild and Epic friends that went AWOL. Good times. Wurm needs a little bit of genius code so it's possible to turn seemingly random things in to fun events. Whichever dev has the vision for that would claim the grand prize
  5. When you have a small collection of female corpses under your bed.
  6. Practical psychology would point out that there's 2 types of children, or even people. One kind does things to get away with them and the other kind does things for the rewards. You can guess which is the most desirable and it's relatively easy to put your kid in the right bracket. There was undoubtedly more but I wasn't a parent when I read it so forgot. Aeris, love that vid.
  7. So Sad

    Just level down 60 slopes while watching a few movies, easy 10s.
  8. You're easily one of the most headstrong, action seeking players I've seen so not surprising Wurm doesn't always cater for your style. I'm quite surprised you stuck it out this long so you must have found enough in the gameto give you hope that it would improve. Anyway, you've entertained and amused me a lot (in retrospect ) and your enthusiasm with same kingdom enemies was not totally unappreciated x) Hope you bounce back from wherever you go and find more love for Wurm. BTW what was that damage on the smaul headshot I gave ya? I've wondered a few times. GL man. o7
  9. Emulate old consoles etc. I'd get a copy of UFO Enemy Unknown for Playstation or Alundra, Megaman Legends, Tomba 1 and 2. Loads of others for that are great. I used to collect platform-RPG games, still do sorta so if you like those try Popful Mail, the better Wonderboy games, Adventure Island series. Can't fail with emulation if you find a few good games. Paradroid/Quazatron and Starquake if you want to try 8 bit. http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/arcade_action/games_q_re/quazatron.html Let me know if you don't get it, well worth a blast
  10. Love it. I'm almost there with ya. I find you get the same adventurous feeling in Wurm no matter what your skill is, essentially creating and influencing the game for you and anyone that you meet and even people you never will. At all levels playing Wurm can be an intricate opera and the game's continuously getting better. I'd definitely suggest going to a kvk server to do this, whether you're involved or not you'll get a vast uncertain dimension where your safety is not a constant guarantee, that an external tsunami could take a swipe at your easy idyl. Likely wont happen of course but it does to some and you take that in to consideration and you value terrain and structural strengths because one day you may be tested for it. That may sound ominous and off-putting but you can't list all the differences and elements it adds to the game along with the kingdom unity you share with those around you. Preferable over the simpler, safe terraforming experience which although satisfying in it's own way must lack in scope. Just my opinion, don't even know where you are. Don't waste time, go Epic with 2x skill gain or Chaos with it's excellent kingdom structure. Sorry
  11. Did Orthob Rithol quit? Losing Chewius to Freedom was a travesty, I can only imagine he became unsung king of the entire cluster after about a year like a giant mycelium.
  12. Anyone looking at new player retention as the main solution no doubt has at least few ideas that are probably hard to out in to words easily. I'm very glad the devs are focusing on this and it's exactly where I think effort should go. Hard to be confident in the outcome with no knowledge of what's being implemented but at least one correct target has been identified. I have about 10 separate ideas on how to do this myself, things like allowing new players to immobilise mobs 10 times within the first 24h of gametime, it would make them as good as invunerable if used right but so what. One of my favorites being how a new explorer could use existing deeds as a short term haven and get a few essentials if the place caters for it (remember the public coffins with odds and ends in that were so useful but prone to greedy takers?). That's part of larger ideas on the social aspects of deeds. Currently there's no incentive or reason to visit other deeds other than curiosity. I would love dev thought put in to this and come up with exciting reasons to travel socially. Exclusive and public feasts, games, events, rare gains, even just enjoying the deed's settings, please discover more potential reasons. That's a big and vague ask but a hint of what a socially developed kingdom could become. On that note small changes in things like archery targets to enable competitions, introduction of jousting lances, idk what else really One of my own deeds incorporates a fighting arena, racecourse (wip) and a high diving spot from one of the server's highest points in to a 3x3 pool. So hard to get perfect I haven't succeeded yet without a severe but possible I'm sure. I've read comments that a lot of people don't want games in Wurm as such, those are about all I could come up with with no additional code added but I know they will make good events in time, a reason to travel for people. Since I'm typing I may as well comment on the alliance tab. Good that there is one but I'd rather see interest groups as tabs. Whether it's village elders, alliance elders, kingdom mayors, sheet slitters, foragers. To log in and have the Weaponsmith tab pop up with fellow ws grinders would be a great addition to Wurm. Perhaps a player should be limited to starting 3 of these and joining 5 or something or maybe it's a bad idea. Either way I think the Alliance tab is deeply flawed as it is. Apologies for the irrelevances here and the poor delivery. Edit: Just to add, a Room tab would be a great feature in a social setting. The difference between Local and a /tell, it would allow any gathering indoors it's own social aspect without telling anyone within 80 tiles or using the awkward and personal /tell.
  13. So few events on Epic, I'm going to try to get there, an adventure in itself.
  14. I've said it from day 1. I also have a rather nice place if ya want to deed it. I'd rather see it populated. You could fit Bashurs army in it I reckon. I was a bit tempted to offer but she needs better handling Shoot me a pm mate. I'm sadly too antisocial to populate it. You should be able to fill it with anyone inc enemy alts and have it self clean. Also could be part of an area aliance of satelite deeds so ppl can deed the area. Best I could do, should run like a heirachial hive. Go for it
  15. I can't see how it's not a petty, trivial thing. I don't want to be offensive but is a large part of this fear? Of the unknown, of where it will lead? Rolf's nice, fair, hard working, he cares a lot and he's stuck to his role through God know's what. Never had the means to do everything at once (Don't we know it) but the structure's clearly improving. It's a name change to someone on a server that you're probably not on that does need constant tweaking to maintain and improve. I'm pretty sure Rolf feels he's on lockdown here. Well done maybe, but why? Clearly there needs to be some points given about why you halted the head dev/creator when he has vastly more important things to do than get stuck on a (needed imo) name change. I'd like to know, it it such a huge issue relative to every other issue, or is it 'getting points across on the forum'. People ragequitting, wtf.
  16. dwnq is the post editor not working for anyone else?
  17. Good Night Mods.

    Someone should exploit this as a perpetual energy source.
  18. Story being Rolf gave some guy a needed name change? Y'know I don't think there's too much more we can extract from this one. but I could be very wrong.
  19. Uhuuhuuuhuhu uhk? uhuh uh uhuhuuh uhuhh uh uhh uhhhuhh uh***K OFF!!!!!!!! I'm over hating Moyles these days but everyone else seemed to just be fine with it. I can't hear one Moyles sentence without slagging him off so I can't hear it. Not just me then Bart? Always seemed like
