The big problem is that the game was released with zero documentation and checks for such things. No good error reporting, no dialogs warning you that something is amiss, just the crash and shutdown of your server.

Annnndddd, Creative default server is now having java exceptions again and won't load. Needless to say I am done with this crappy product and won't recommend it to anyone.

Found it. Apparently, a custom server was having issues with the source fountains and wells the default database config allowed, so I deleted the sql for it and had to rebuild the server. That sucks.

I was playing a custom creative map and it worked great for a week (and this seems to happen to me every install) and then it starts to have a java exception on load and won't load. None of my servers now load and the window closes before I can read the error so I can post it. This is getting very frustrating. How can I find out where it's encountering the error?

So, in Combat changes, I didn't see "Do away with the horrible text-based watch-my-character-fight crappy combat system and make it more interactive." After this many years, don't you think that should be number 1 on your list? Your combat is the worst in all online games, I just sit there and watch my character fight, and this turns off a lot of players.

Aintit?

So, I have two monitors, and my wife plays Minecraft with me. On my main monitor I have our Minecraft Realms server we play on, and on my side monitor, my Wurm Unlimited creative server. I just queue up some actions in Wurm and switch back to Minecraft to keep working on my tower. I have issues.

Actually, that is why he chose it. I have been in the Wurm community since before the Freedom Isles, and I remember reading an interview with him that stated Java was chosen just for that reason (and he had experience in Java helped the choice). Why they didn't go with their own launcher like Mojang did with Minecraft is beyond me, Steam was probably an easier, faster solution.

Much love coming from me.

I can't seem to connect or do anything. What's up?

So many doomsayers were running around like Chicken Little when they announced Unlimited. Maybe they can STFU now.

Back on Linux and waiting patiently.

Sadly this is unusable on Linux apparently (not sure about Windows) with the latest build. The field to enter the Size of a biome is off the screen, and no matter how I resize it, it stays off screen and I can't see to edit it.

I'll wait. Not playing Wurm isn't killing me.

I went back to Linux, so I hope this becomes a reality soon. Its really sad that a java-based game, designed in java because of its ability to be coded once and run anywhere is now on Steam and Windows only due to their limitations on distribution through said deployment system. You really should have went with a launcher like Mojang. Much fails on your part. Shame on you Code Club.

I have tried everything in this thread, and this is really frustrating. I made my map, saved the map files...once. Made a copy of my Creative folder and inserted the maps, overwriting the files in there. I deleted the gamedir file as one has suggested (don't do this, it causes your launcher not to see the new server folders you make). Re-built the sql databases, modified the insertwurmitems.sql and zones sql and still the server hangs and does not start. ARRRGGHH! I really wish someone would do a proper write up on all the steps, in order, step-by-step on how to properly do this because I am really freakin' frustrated.

I am contemplating continuing my work on a Unity3D game geared towards role-players.

And need to kill players in PvP, right? How does that help?

So how many of you gave your character your stats and skills from Wurm Online? I did, I am role-playing as if I left the Freedom cluster and found my own island, hidden away in a separate pocket dimension. I didn't want to lose the years of development I put into my character.

Not sure why you're having such problems. I set up and started playing as soon as I downloaded the game. The LAN server works flawlessly out of the box as long as Steam is running first. Maybe you should ask for help before throwing in the towel and asking for refunds. That said, a tutorial and some good documentation on how to use WU should have been made before release.

Yes, I was wondering how I was going to do enchants without someone else or another account. Please give us a checkbox to eliminate priest restrictions.

I was considering this myself, as I love to role-play. I would open my server up to RP if there was serious interest.

Been using the latest build. Still buggy and crashes a lot. Too crashy for a real development platform. Had to bite the bullet and go back to Windows until its stable.

Okay, love my own server so far, something I asked for years ago, but I want to be on Linux. You and Unity3D are keeping me on Windows. Please work on the Linux build, please, if you aren't already. I am sure the Mac people would like thier version as well. Cheers.
