Cerberus

In order to prevent gate hopping, house doors will now stay open for one minute if you pass them while there is an enemy closeby. ^ Not a good update honestly. You stated one above an update to encourage change in behavior. Rolf you fully supplied the means to counter gatehouses long ago. We have catapults. takes down a building very quickly. You have always provided counters. The players are just to lazy to use this. Thus laziness should not be rewarded. But epic is easy mode compared to the real wurm. Why make anyone put effort into it. Oh well.

Some players will take me longer to match, Im speaking of the average front line account. Yes Xallo would still own me without any chance. There are several that would. Im not expecting to catch the TOP few any time soon. But I am content with having caught up in the limited time Ive had. 40+ on most stats now. I am far from finished due to my obsession to raise every skill to 90. Im a title :'( 'Do we get to have meetings like AA?' What I am saying is it does not take years to have a viable account.

Yes I remember that! haha. Was when I first got to wild. Went to help dig defences, I had about 40fs, crappy chain armor, and had gone afk to smoke. Announced that in local like a newb. no enemies were currrently in local. Hey Maximus Im going to step outside for a smoke, afk a few. Came back to red screen of death. Since then I have drastically skilled up stats.. Ive compared my stats to many who have posted selling, or silly enough to show skill tabs during youtube videos. Yep Im such a nerd But I have passed them in stats..... so it works.

Yet again, I am a fairly newer player. I have stated several times, It does NOT take years to catch up. I have already caught and passed many. Its the amount of effort you put into it. I was working 7 days a week, for around 7 months last year, and I still was able to accomplish this in my spare time. They thought I had quit playing because I was hardly online. Never on during the peek times, just for 2-3 hours after work. 70+ FS was one of the EASIEST things to accomplish, hunting is awesome on Wild. Hardly any new players get killed because majority of them have common sense to join an existing town and not try to hermit. Have a few that build a shack next to the starter towns on the coast lines...... they are the victims in most cases, not having a lick of intelligence. You guys envision wild as some scorched earth? We have our carebears, our crafters and farmers also. Who never see combat, safely within the established cities. Your so afraid to lose your gear, when it is very safe here. You join a city, you skill up. You dont go out to the front lines until you feel your ready to do so. If you do happen to some how manage to lose your gear, more than likely be replaced within minutes by asking the other players. I know at HoM we have plenty of gear to pass out to new players. Im sure JK is the same way. You have this strange thought that when you get here, your on your own and everyone is out to get you? That wild is no place for a newb? We have a handful that showed up we recently accepted and helping get established, by the time you get brave enough, they will be a long established veteran also. Thats if you even intend to come.

Most have stated they will return to Wild. Many went to epic after we were freedomized to continue to pvp. Not that they love it there.

We dont go to epic, because that is NOT the style of game we enjoy. It is far to easy. We enjoy the skill difficulty, no silly missions ect. Epic appeals to a certain crowd and their mindset of what they enjoy. Not because skills reset to 0. It takes no effort at all on Epic to gain high skills, then you have all the curves as well making it far easier. That is what appeals to most gamers, but not all. But many of those sort of players who want things fast paced are also those who burn out faster and leave. I had tried Epic, joined a PMK. It went from 60+ players to 3 remaining just 2 months later. They moved on. Those of us remaining on Wild/Chaos are those with more patience and rather enjoy more difficulty. There is a huge myth that scares new players, even I had fallen victim to it for a few months. That you can not catch up in skills to participate. That is completely incorrect. Within 132 logged days now, I have high stats, high skills. Because I put effort into my character. It is effort not ammount of play time. I am glad I was talked into joining Wild way before I had intended to. I love it here and look forward to an unrestricted pvp server again if that is what Rolf intends for us.

You CAN catch up in a few months. My God people. With effort. My account is 131 days old now. play time thats just over 4 months. That was with me working a job that allowed me very little time to play. Was working 7 days a week for over 7 months there. Or my account would have even more skills than it does now. It does NOT take years, just takes actually working on your skills. Thats the wonderful thing about this game. Its on you and the amount of effort you put into it. My account is better than some who have played for 3-5 years. This game is not for everyone. If your wanting easy mode. Go to Epic, stop crying for wild map resets and item resets. Stop trying to ruin our gaming experience. You want to catch up? Grab your tools and start skilling. Sick and tired of the whining "I cant catch up" when I not only caught up to many but passed them.

Skills just takes effort. My account is fairly young, 140 some days, yet I have skills and stats matching those who have played 5 years in some cases. Its not how long you play, it is putting forth the effort. My poor alliance mates have to suffer from my constant posting up new skill gains daily. Oh look, another title! Put forth some effort.... for once. Want easy mode go to epic.

Chaos. Im at the town of HoM right now.

I even tried /suicide to see if I could reload. but the moment I type anything, reconnects.

it shut down for update while I was in a cave, now when trying to reload I log in, but I do not come back down from 'flying' or fully load back up. I just sit in the darkness waiting. I can not type in chat without it instantly disconnecting/reconnecting me. Maybe it would load if a CM could move me from the cave? Its been loading now for over 15 minutes and its frustrating.

This is pathetic. We spent the time to fortify the area. Instead of coming down days ahead of time to make a breach and secure the light for recharge, the enemy decides to cry to Rolf to attempt to get easy mode recharges. The recharging of the artifacts was implemented to promote pvp yes? Failed, JK is not willing to fight to recharge the artifacts. Since they failed to attack the area, the artifacts they were unable to recharge should go back into the wild, if they recover them first....... ok if not, their fault for not at least trying to attack. Rolf please stop giving into the lazy instant gratification generation, they did not even attempt to break into the white light to recharge. Is that not their own fault? If you want an easy game, there are plenty of them out there.

I think this would be good to promote more pvp, like the weapons racks, we can now store spare weapons, should also be able to store additional sets of armor.

skilling up on freedom before joining wild really is not needed. I thought the same before coming over, waited about 6 months grinding skills on freedom first, was not needed. I found quickly that unless you go to the front lines, it is actually extremely safe deep in your kingdoms lands. The effort to travel the distance to raid deep into enemy lands, ride through tower guards ect... its rare to see a raiding party go far from the coasts where they can easily jump back on ship and get out. Most of us will assist you in getting set up with tools, most cities even provide housing when you arrive.

I would love to see PMK implemented on wild. Wurm is a game for the patient players, skills should take time and effort. If this is not your style of gaming, there is always WoW or EVE. Please stop asking to have the game nerfed so we can get 90 skill in 2 months. I work 2nd shift, so only on early mornings, late at night and I have no issue skilling every thing up. Sure it takes time, but I am patient and I love the game, going to stick around for a few years.

Stop nerfing the game please. I am sick and tired of great games being nerfed into the ground. It is not the game mechanics that need to change in order to inspire and encourage more pvp. The players choose to pvp or not to pvp. I ride a long the front lines often, and if I see an enemy in local, I ask in village if I should engage or GTFO. Its not the fear of losing gear, its the fact, I want to win, and if I can not win the fight, I do not engage! That guy will kick your arse before you get a swing on them, time to GTFO lol. I come to the front to pvp yes, but I am not suicidal about it. As it should take time and effort to be able to match those players who have played for years, stop nerfing the game and wait for us newer players to skill up to match them.

Still open for new recruits. Seeking players who desire to actively PvP and bring the fight to the enemy. Plenty of resources available on hand to craft with enchanted tools. Great hunting grounds for fast FS gains. Soon to come, archery ranges and catapult training range. Coordinate a section of catapults, range verified by spyglass to quickly level buildings with extreme accuracy. (Yes you can still destroy your own buildings and gain skill) Will be using either TS3 or Vent soon.

I would explain it all on forum, and even give a detail of the fortress plans on forum, but I may as well hand MR and JK the plans and open the gates for them. Oh and give them the exact day and time we are headed over. Plans are already under way with advanced scouts.

Im looking for members who want to train here then go to wild, improve the layout? what do you want some pretty colors and eye candy in a recruitment ad for a town you just grind skills at? How about promises of you can plant flowers all over and ride unicorns? Do not want that kind of player....... Looking for players who want to grind skills here, then go and fight.

I am now opening The Gates of Hell for recruiting new villagers. This is primarily a training ground to raise skills for players wishing to join us when we go to wild. Plan is to skill grind until summer or fall of this year, then go. Not accepting everyone. Speak with Cerberus if you are interested. We intend to join The Horde once at wild. Why? A challenge, more fun, fight with the under dogs. Would suck if it was not going to be a good fight.
