  1. Sklotopolis - PVE

    Hardware change ahead - Testing required Three years have passed yet again and some of you know that we change our server hardware every three years within our lifecycle management. Therefore, it is time again to test. The new hardware is again much faster than the current one. We already managed to set up an old backup of Sklotopolis on the new server. Most of the things that are needed are finished, and we have a whole new way of hosting our servers giving us more options and better flexibility in the future. (For the people speaking tech, we use Docker and Ansible to automate almost everything on the new server) Test the server now by connecting to the IP 176.9.149.249 port 3724, or just search for silopotolkS (Sklotopolis spelled backward) in the server browser. Make sure to give us some feedback 🙂 We currently plan to change the servers on the 15th of August 2023, which means up to 8 hours of downtime on this day. We will post details once we know if this release date goes as planned.

    Yes I agree, some players are clearly taking deed size as an endgame goal and take it too far. But, this is a problem of the Wurm franchise in general and not unique to our servers. Whenever you play in a big shared but limited area some people will achieve to get more space than others. It is not different in real life.

    Great that you found a good spot, welcome back I agree that you need some time to find a good spot to deed on our servers. The ideal server would have hundreds of players playing and almost no deeds, but that is just not realistic. If you want to play on an active server with a big community then there always will be a good amount of deeds. We have maps ready to introduce new islands in case one of our worlds would really be full at some point.

    We are monitoring player activity very closely. Empty grass deeds will be disbanded after only 14 days. Both our servers have so much undeeded space left that there is currently no need to put stricter rules in place, as such changes often come with the risk of making existing players upset. Sklotopolis is 100% transparent about deeds by showing last activity and size on the map. Trust me when I say that the high populated newer Wurm Online servers would look far more crowded if they would implement this kind of transparency. With the upkeep system deeds can be paid for an almost indefinite amount of time in the future without having to enter the game ever again.
  5. Not sure if any of them would come back after the recent incidents. If they are done, they are likely just that, done... They are not bound to the game.

    Tired of drama? - Join Sklotopolis In our world the players matter, we put a big focus over the last almost 8 years on making Wurm Unlimited beginner friendly. We have not just 5x skill gain, we also have 4x action time which means that skill gain is more than 5x faster. You start out on Sklotopolis with food, pelt, ropes, higher QL beginner items, and 2 horse eggs that will spawn a horse in your inventory. You also have a full sleep bonus at the start. New players get a free deed worth 4s (equals 9x9x10x10) without ever having to pay upkeep. We also have various ways of earning silver coins, without having to spend real money. And a big amount of unique game features like animated models of dragons you can decorate your house with Can you imagine a better place?
  7. What NOT to do

    More than you think and still a handful modders who would push Wurm forward. How many actual Wurm devs are left? I can count them on one hand....
  8. 1) depends on your PC, I saw people with crazy high numbers 2) not with this mod
  9. Glad that it worked have fun with the mod
  10. Yes make sure that you install the server mod on the server and the client mod on the client. Otherwise either will stop working.
  11. Which linux distro do you use?
  12. Let's remember where we came from
  13. Sklotopolis - PVE

    Update Added an untame action when you right-click a creature you tamed. Renamed treasure chests/maps to loot chests/maps to avoid confusion with their value. Added more items as shop items which will be available soon.
  14. Sounds like some faster Wurm Unlimited server could be something you might enjoy playing on. There are servers from same speed as WO to 100x where you can achieve everything in like a few days in case you just want to come back for a few weeks.

  16. Sklotopolis - PVE

    Update Added recipe double chocolate s'mores cookie Added recipe maple walnut cookie Added recipe Lolabelle's oatmeal raisin cookie Added recipe chocomint cookie Added recipe danish rum cookie There is now a "welcome back" window when you have been absent for some time. Treasure maps will now tell you which server they belong to when you try to locate them on the wrong server. You can now find a summer hat in a treasure chest. Fixed some minor problems with wax sculpting Excluded some more items from damage warning Made sure that if the server crashes the exit code is non-zero to detect server crashes for automated restarts
  17. A basic VR mod for WU would indeed be possible.

    Update You can now find wax sculpture kits in treasure chests. These can be used to create mini versions of all kinds of items to use for decoration. Credits go to danky for writing this cool mod. Thank You! Fixed a few administrative actions in Meteor mod.
