  1. Congrats Garf, I know how long you've been slaving away on that title. Well done!
  2. A big big ty for saddle bags! The #1? requested item over the years. Now how about that pack horse
  3. Ok so it's *really* clear, how is this any different then what you object to with "freedomers"?
  4. As is my wont, I got to wondering about A how this topic got reopened (doesn't really matter) and B a little something I like to call the pvp mindset quandary. Situation: Jon rolls a new alt and skills it up to 70fs on freedom while playing his main on chaos. He finds that his alt which he never had plans to use much has a large metal shield affinity (or cool stat aff) *_*!!!!! So he contacts his friend bob and asks for him to drop the alt over at the landing, for example. Now his alt is freedom kingdom and John is a pmk so he slaughters his alt and gains fs and affinity and after a bit invites his alt to the kingdom. Is it a win for Jon? Yes. Is it good for Jon's kingdom? Yes. Is it pvp? As much as freedom slaughtering their alts. Do we see anyone complaining from wild about such doings? No. Can anyone prove it was non legit pvp or some other bannable offense? Nope. So all is well and good and everyone walks away happy. Until people from freedom realize that they too can do this and suddenly shock and horror ring out! My concern: What's good for the goose should be good for the gander I feel like this thread has simply pointed out how to influence devs and change wurm if you don't like what other folks are doing. Oh and I can't see so well because my gas mask clogs up each time I try and view this thread
  5. So can we get this removed soon? I just started a grind and I expect to have trouble with this for a bit >.>
  6. That has nothing to do with what it actually counts it as, I just subscribed and got 29 days iirc last week. I chuckle and keep going. For years the website said you could ride dragons if memory serves (you couldn't), that was only amended somewhat recently lol. Wurm is kinda funny that way.
  7. You should know that a month of wurm prem time also is 29? 28? real life days as well It's some really random number decided on by Rolf? *Becket once told me he asked Rolf and was told the amount of days in a month of prem.
  8. Botanise could use some real help, go start another thread to utilize it!
  9. Hi all, I've got .38kg of white scale hide. Rather then just sell the stuff, I'd like to swap it for 18 sb powders. Hit me up ingame or on the forum. Pingpong
  10. This why is why crazies oughten't to be allowed on road projects, they might finish them. WELL DONE
  11. The only possible use of /fatigue I can actually see is to keep a group of folks from running 1 toon round the clock, that being said, wurm is a sandbox, and I'm not sure why that's a problem ?
  12. I'd just like to point out that being able to stack 5 body affinities sure doesn't equal 1 pizza affinity Alt farming has and can provide a serious leg up over the "freedom affinity boost" that we currently have. There is a reason people do it. There is a reason people have done it for years. Anytime you see a wilder toon for sale with 4-5 stars on those stats you should compliment them on being so "lucky" when out pvping
  13. I dunno, I used to talk to folks who ran multiple pvp toons at once, no matter "what" skill/stat based measuring stick is being used, it's always able to be looped around. It will take either fresh ideas or we can go back to ignoring it like we the community (devs) have for over a half decade
  14. I can well sympathize with this problem as a member of the oft out of /fatigue myself. I'm in the -+1 opinion bracket. +1 Need a way to boost fatigue levels. -1 Paying to simply unlock our toons that we already pay prem for is beyond stupid imo. When asked about it Rolf said "Fatigue is there to allow the rest of wurm to catch up to people who have too much time to play". Perhaps he/the devs would care to reconsider that stance?
  15. This is a pvp restriction from years and years ago (banks are unraidable). You might consider getting enough support and having the dev team relook at it
  16. This is interesting to me, I see nothing wrong with this idea at all....However it did prompt me to think, so if we agree to penalize freedom kingdom on chaos because of alt farming. Where's the shoe on the other foot? After a pvp kill you're not allowed on freedom for 24, 48 hours or even 1 week? Whatever is decided it has to work both ways *fairly*, otherwise it's simply a pve nerf (dreaded nerf word). Telling pve "you suck" and we're going to stick it to you because we don't like how you're using our server is beyond stupid. But I've seen a few ideas that look a lot like that, to be fair not all. I've nothing against forcing toons to be online to regain their affinity, I'd probably prefer them to have the option of either freedom or chaos. I've nothing against keeping toons who participate in any kill stuck on chaos for x hours. Ideally this would solve the insta run to freedom with loot as well.
  17. +1 seems good if we can use horses to hitch to it as well.
  18. Really hoping this works well at impalongs, thanks for the efforts on behalf of your players
  19. Nice forum alt After 4-6 years I find it really hard to believe it's not hear to stay. Especially after it's been raised in post after post and thread after thread. If someone else figures out how to do it better don't get sore, join in The best bet imo to get this issue changed is to slaughter 25 alts a day until the wurm devs can't ignore it. Each time the issue has been raised the person slaughtering the alts got the *'s they wanted and quit. Embarrassing the wurm devs does work and by simply showing them through actions how broken this is, you can force them to act If you like, keep track of the affinities gained by slaughtering alts each day and mail them in. Will it take some leg work? Sure. But no one in authority is immune from being embarrassed by how stupid this is and has been for years. Change is possible and good so long we don't punish only one part of the community.
  20. I really appreciate your willingness post your thoughts mclavin so one question that I've not seen answered yet in this thread, what makes a pvper, what makes a pver, and why do the folks from pvp land get to decide the difference? My understanding is that once a toon cross the border all bets are off. So long as it's game legal it's legal. What I am hearing from my side of the border is "Oh no, a person who plays mostly on pve is getting something that was reserved mostly for pvp players/exploiters/whatever you want to call them. Suddenly this is a burning issue". Do I think it's silly/stupid/gamey to slaughter alts? Of course. Has it been done by all kingdoms since I joined wurm? Ayup. So now we're back to that sticky question "What makes a player a pvp or pver person?" And why do people (pvp) who stand to benefit the most get to call the shots with shutting it down from the majority of players (pve). Would I trade affinity farming for a closed border? Sure. You farm alts and I'll farm everything else on freedom. Affinity pick up, hota, moonmetals, home server nerfs: all designed to bring pve to pvp. All failed. I sometimes wonder if chaos is just the failed elevation of freedom. Oh and calling people with other opinions greedy doesn't invalidate them, it's just....your opinion
  21. Happy Birthday Finland! Congrats on 100 years of birthdays, here's to 100 more!
  22. I thought I'd dig in the time machine a lil bit. 2011: Here's a similiar thread about chewing on alts for fs gains Stated as legit by chaos bois in 2014. I could have kept going but I wasn't that bored. Remind me to stop laughing when pvp says they'll police themselves. I don't bear a grudge against anyone. I just note what I've seen done and posted and played out. Best humor I've seen in ages, thanks all
