Again, where was the post for that? All you say is, he never planed to include anyone else, neither did he reply to OPs forum post to say he had it planned before or talk of merging it.... so many ways to handle the situation better, he choose the selfish and such worst way.

Why did he not ask if he could join? That one goes both ways. He clearly said he wanted only the SB as well, you do not have to be with the casting group to get that.

Maybe, but that is no excuse for his behavior either way, he clearly understood enough to decide for a better choice but he only picked selfish ones. The people that had plans, the community and no one else but him mattered to him. Selfishness does not go very far in a MMO. As I said, instead of saying sorry, he rubbed it in, stired people up even more against him in public Freedom chat and poured salt out in this very forum thread as I mentioned before. He does not display proper behavior and thats what irks people and eventually ruined his reputation and will cause him less deals as well.

Again, it is a mild warning and not a threat, what happens right now is what he was warned about, this is common knowledge here.

I see no RoS post on the forums by him, also it was said he was still looking for someone to assist with the cast to get the favor required just before he did it.

The thing is, doing a public forum post and announcing a time, date and place has been the proper way for years, OP followed known rules. That is also why the situation escalated as it did and no one can claim the other side did not know, they run a market post there, the Cadence Forum on the main page is right above it and there is not so much activity in there so the RoS cast was fairly often on the front page. Stick to known rules and everything will be fine. I admit those "rules" or "procedures" are not known to new players, but when confronted Dragol should have reacted differently, instead of making fun of it wherever he could. He poured gasoline into the fire with his non apologetic behavior, making fun of people and basically just doing what he did, that is what made people who play by the unwritten rules angry and reulted in what you have been witness to today. Back when SB was only granted to people online during the cast, this was a far worse offense of course. What makes it different this time is the recent changes to rite casts, we have zero idea how long it will take for the next one to become available even, people wanted their journal tick... Dragol had it and walzed over everyone else, would there have been any harm to wait 2 days for his 5h of SB for the greater good of the lot of people who planed to gather, planed to burn their SB in time for it... now he ruined peoples plans, this trashes peoples real life time they carefully planed around the event. Trying to be considerate of your next person goes a long way, specially in tight knit community games like Wurm.

It does not take a lot of processing power to find that threat and many people posted the name of the person, the name of the "market" and one person but not the OP posted a link... mood point. And if the traders behavior is as nasty as shown then yea... I mean it is hard to cover up when he himself comes around in this post and is like "yea its been casted, have a nice weekend :P" .... if you consider that nice or proper behavior then I feel sorry for you.

As I wrote before, you guys confuse a threat with a mild warning of what happens when people go and ruin public events for others, to anyone who plays Wurm for more than a few months this is common knowledge. I apologize if you guys are new and did not know any better, but his behavior in public Freedom chat later did just add up to it, adding insult to injury and put him in a even worse light, no decent being wants to deal with someone like that. And that is what is happening now, you walzed over a public event that was announced in the public and sniped it before it could be done - most likely because you guys noticed this forum post. You behave like this in a community, you will reap what you sowed, simple as that. Just because game mechanics allow for it, does not mean it is cool to do it.

Point of view which depends on cultural background and other variables. But within the entire context it was a mild warning to the backleash and reputation damage Dragolls selfish actions would result in which is a known fact by anyone who has been playing Wurm for longer. Now it is a "told you so" situation, not to mention just a short while ago Dragoll added on to this by behaving pretty childish in public Freedom chat when confronted with the issue by someone else. Obviously he does not care at all for what people think or that he trashed a planned event that people with schedules and lifes wanted to attend to further progress their gameplay. This individual is not really a community person going by his actions, this may work in WoW or other MMOs where you can namechange but Wurm is quite different and here we come back to the mild warning given.

I have to burn 5h now before I can pray again, I planned with the Sunday cast but not this, this is a great inconvinience for my weekend plans. Also I agree wholeheartly with what gnomegates said. This is a small population MMO with no namechanges or alike, being rude to a chunk of the population while trying to run a market to make sales... yea good luck with that combination.

Sorry for the delay went to bed at midnight. ^^; [08:55:01] The items silently disappear from the spirit cottage. You expect them to arrive in less than thirty minutes.

Any foreseeable fix for this? I have had some hefty bluescreen crashes to Wurm now since I run it as Administrator. Wurm basically freezes up (eventlog only logs it as application hang), first the fullscreen client, then the other clients and then eventually the entire PC goes bluescreen if I do not manage to kill the Wurm tasks quick enough, avoided Bluescreen a few times as I killed them fast enough but when I do not look for 5 mins and thats when it happens then I lose. Any other game or whatsoever zero issues, never had issues before I returned to Wurm either. Java, GFX Drivers, Motherboard Drivers, BIOS, Windows and whatsoever is fully up to date. (Did a fully Update cycle after it did this for the first time, but apparently that did not fix a thing.)

Quite the post, I wish you guys all the best with getting this done in a hopefully good way. There is a lot of candy in this post that I sure like. :3 Looking forward to when these things materialize, thanks for the update - it was well needed. ❤️

Lovely idea, I have always been a fan of Alchemy in any game I played that had it (and cooking... and fishing...), so expanding the system already swings well with me. The writeup is not bad, but one thing caught my eye: Feels a bit odd that the same material would grind the other, either this would cause a lot of damage to the grindstone itself or maybe introduce a new vein like Granite? Or give Diamonds a use? Not sure, just felt a bit odd to me. With all the effects you listed however, I see how this could turn into a lot of work for the devs to balance it properly. The combat related ones could tie into a general combat overhaul PvE wise I guess? Just like with the cooking system, this one has a lot of possibilities to branch into other aspects of the game that would need some touching up then as well so that it all remains in balance. Love the idea and would love to see the system being reworked cooking system style.

Hello, I am trying to run the Wurm Online Steam client in windowed mode, but it wont start with windowed or windowed resizeable, both fullscreen options work but as I play more than one character this is kind of unplayble with all of them in fullscreen. It just sits there as a idle process eating 8% of my CPU doing nothing and I eventually have to kill it. Also I can not change the Hz down to 60Hz from the 100Hz it insists on having, when I set it to 60Hz, save it and reopen the settings it is back to 100Hz, every other setting it does save properly though. Console Log: Can also hit me up on discord (Minniemay - to align with my current Character on the Steam Server). Edit: Apparently doing a "Run as Administrator" on it lets it start up in windowed mode... the fullscreen configuration does not require that.

I just wanted to highlight and simply +1 that line, everything else you said is spot on as well.

Curse you for cutting in line while I was busy writing up my wall of text!

Honestly, I feel somewhat sorry for those people but then again they have only themself to blame for "investing" into a game to begin with and then believing this would never change. The community has been moaning about a steady decline of pupulace since how long? Ahh... years I guess, we are far from the numbers we had when Wurm hit "release" status. That people invest into a obviously declining system and think that what they put into it will retain it's value is almost like gambling the stock market, just the stock market is sometimes less transparent or not as easy to understand as the situation we have here. How many times have longstanding things (Fountainpans to name one) be changed, "values" been destroyed, in the name of the greater good for the game. Sorry, to think they would not someday remove RMT is a bit naive. /hug They have to do something to keep things going and they are trying to do their best I think (hope). Without Steam and those changes Wurm may have been gone in a few years time more, maybe it will be gone either way... we don't know but such is life. I threw a lot of money at the game as well, easily around 2k EUR over the years, but every cent I put into the game was to support the game / be able to play and this was done with my "toy around" money, a monthly stash of money I hold (or piles up if there is nothing to throw it at) just for entertainment - I put it into whatever brings me joy and with that I have to accept once it is spent it is gone forever. If you want something that retains value, I guess buy gold bars? I don't know, I am not a financial advisor of sorts - but "investing" money you hold dear and eventually want "back" by whatever means... anything is better than a game for that.

I don't get the p2w debate, the only thing that changes is you can not buy silver anymore from players. Otherwise it's the same game, you could buy silver before and now just the dealer changed for most of the sales and the new dealer even adjusted the price per silver to the old player value soo... nothing changed but that all silver sale revenue is going straight to the game devs which is good imho. So why all of a sudden the "wah wah pay to win" outrage? Imho it's just disgruntled people pi***** on the game for no real reason, could have made a own thread about it years ago if it upsets them so much.

@Samool@Retrogradethanks for these positive changes! However, two question remains for me. 1. As we will be able to use the same client for both Wurm "Versions" - will we also be able to make a new Wurm Steam account via the usual Wurm Website way and just select Steam for it, or do we have to make multiple Steam accounts and will those be entered as login to the client then? I guess the later, just would like some clarification. 2. How will people on the Wurm Steam servers be priested? I recall in the past there was 2 ways... iirc one was to travel to some altars on some server, I recall doing that for my first Vyn - was a cool memory! Then I heard people were also sometimes initialy be priested by GMs until a certain threashold was reached and then people had to do it as we do it nowdays still - be priested by another priest. Any idea by now how it will be on Wurm Steam? Thanks in advance.

So much positive feedback and just a few disgruntled people that you can probably count on a hand or two. I am surprised... I would have expected a far larger fecesstorm, yet there is still a night to go... something to read in the morning yey. Well done guys, truely spectacular news. 👍 I am curious what was going through Retros head when he posted this...

I know that it was said. But it is up for everyone themself to make the decision to stick to WO or WO Steam or whatever WU Server they might play on and the group of people who is like "welp, they lied a bunch of times to us" still can decide if they want to play or give up on the game entirely as well. It's called freedom, people can do whatever they want; hence why I said that Retro also said they can't look that far into the future and promise things longterm. Considering things that looked like "long term promises" had been said may have been a misstake, you could also say that people blindly believed that was a misstake as well thinking about it all things considered or maybe just wishfull thinking on both sides. Right now it all comes down to wait and see how things turn out and what options will be on the table. When things happen you can consider it as a window of opportunity, Wurm had a lot of those. Right at that very point in time people will have the chance to play on new official servers, if they want to or not is up to them. And those who just hang around to complain, keep repeating how there are only lies and staff can't be trusted - why bother? (I mean, the trust issue has been brought up time and time again in multiple threads by now... it's the dead horse thing.) Personally if a game or whatever ###### on me I take my wallet and leave for good, not worth the stress. Nowdays there is little to no reason to keep preaching negativity (you only stress yourself out by arguing with white knights or be banned on forums and so on and forth), because eventually the misstake will be repeated over and over and the playerbase will shrink until the game disappears. (see what I did there ) It is not easy, but I still have some hope left and if it fails me ah well... what gives, at least there is a chance to have the fresh start experience once again - it will be around long enough to enjoy that - if the conditions that would make me play there end up true anyhow. For now I just read here and post a bit here and there but I stick to what happens right now and what is a fact right now and not what has been 4 years ago or could be 4 years from now. I get your point and the saying "who lied once is not to believed again" (at least we have that in germany anyhow - "Wer einmal lügt dem glaubt man nicht.") is there for a reason, damaged or lost trust is very very hard to gain back - you mess up once and you pay for it for the rest of the time you are around. However, imho this should not stop anyone from having a look at things or giving things a chance.

Here Retro states that WO and WO Steam will both go down at the same time to get updates, so maintenance and such would be no reason to ditch one or the other. About not shutting down WO in favor of WO Steam - I haven't looked for that part tbh, but I recall it being a concern of people specially in the light of them cuting new content updates to WU. But it has been said, that they won't ditch current WO. Took me nearly half an hour to find the one post... if you really need to read it from a official source, use the forum search as I did, sorry I really need my time off work to relax these days. But also as has been said that they can't promise to much looking that deep into the future and their decisions will always be in the interest of the game, which is understandable - we lack a time machine. But that is pretty much why I sit back and wait, I made my mind up to wait for their calls with WO Steam and depending on how they will answer to open questions about it I will make my choice between the two "worlds" (or deployments, if I got Keenan right ).
