Personally I do not want a mapdump. I think with a new map the fun is to explore the unknown, discover resources by chance and get completely lost ;D Player made road maps is good enough for me once we get some highways laid down.

oh right

Yeah I been wondering why it's not there as well, perhaps both GV and new server will be added at the same time.

+1 love this idea this would be very use full for a lot of things. But I guess you would get dirt dept of the tile corner you stand close to? as each tile would have potentially 4 different depths.

I hope there will be a teleport option, as I do not wanna drag all my stuff to a raid feast at NT upon new server start....

Perji Hi! ;D As for cheating, I think as long as it does not affect others in any way it's all up to you what you do. But in mmo's most cheats will somehow affect others so it's a no go in my eyes. Personally I dislike to cheat.. games get utterly boring/too easy..

How about make it so that when you go to new server skills stay same, after all you did earn em Then whatever increase done on skill on "Hippy" will stay on hippy. If you return your skills will be set back too what they where before the move to hippy.. Not sure if this is possible to code etc etc. Apologize if i just repeated someone else above, did not read all new posts yet, but on it hm.

Have anyone watched decay on lesser foods like casserole, stew, gulasch? Does these decay faster now too? As for the change I think it's a good change. I did cook quite a bit before and i would always slam 10 pans and do something else ( making bread, farm the fields etc) while the meals gets done and then add the preheated ingredients for the next 20 meals in too and have 30 meals done in nearly no time at all. Note that oven is 60+ ql and pans 40. As for stressed out cooks, if your village wants meals for more skill gain, then perhaps they could chip in some work for the treat. After all they getting a bonus they did not before. if they just want a full food bar then I hope there will be some good alternatives on normal skill gain food that do not decay as fast. I do think we might need some good slow decaying 40-60 nutrition alternatives. Bread can last quite a while if it kept dry ( i did see a several 100 year old bread next to a salt bowl in a German castle, i'm sure it hard as rock by now) then dip it in gulash/soup and you got a nice meal. Some type of cheese can last long too, some cheese needs to "decay" for gaining a sharp taste. Not sure how the decay on cheese is after the patch Air dried salted meat could be something to use. Combining these into a new things might give a tad higher value of nutrition, like a sandwich. As for veggies, they hard to digest raw thus giving you less energy then they would cooked. I am sure there are lots of more things I can't think of right now. Edit sorry for repeating things from above, i did take my time typing ;D

Just wanna point out that being able to make "roads", or pave everything not on anyone's aoc, and then restrict road removal.. You might get the wonderful gravel hills we got outside FL on GV. I think its better to fix the roads now and then rather then having "roads" everywhere in the end. An option would be to have roads decay when not used at all for a set time, and perhaps more interesting have grass etc turn into packed dirt if you walk a lot there.

somehow this one got me to think about the game... http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgers Did not hear it in ages hehe

Thanks for the info Rolf. ;D I think limiting tower range would be a good thing, they affect a smaller area + that if you in trouble you might actually find a guard near the tower

I play it too and love it. Just hate the battlefield walls when my horse just crash into it ><

Will really miss you Guru! :'( We will take good care of the village, you welcome to visit anytime.

I would pack up my stuff and go there for sure. I think quite a few of my friends would come too ;D

Yeah, those that have logged out int he big blue will have a problem with no boats near...

As with all "big" changes, there will be waves and panic. But yeah like said above I'll sit on my new fence ( i wish I could paint it) and see how it goes. So far I think it's some bad, but more good in this. Ppl are flocking back the the village and it's buzzing like it have not in a long time. I also feel that some new excitement have been brought to my table. I am not a pvp player, but milking dolly and acoustically stinging my finger while imping leather was all the excitement I got. I now watching out over the bay and wonder what the dusk will bring. I think this will bring ppl together in new ways, and I really hope that ppl will see the new possibilities that will open up now and not just the negative. New needs in market etc I do however understand those that just want to create their lil paradise in peace, reacting to having their peace snatched away

Danny, I think perhaps once a year, on random server.. at a random time hm. I just find it a shame that "once they are here, they are gone again syndrome" we seen happening. I'd like them to be so rare that it's worth telling your grand kids you met one and totally forgot to slap it.

Sneaky rare dragon spawn would indeed be fun ;D

What then when you get different types of logs in same pile? Make a mixed log pile look too? But to the idea +1, I'd love to see more variation.

My best moment in wurm was on my one of my first days. I remember I did realize to my amazement thateverything was player made/destroyed. It was a "discovery" i never had in any other game before. All that work and time that others must have spent on making "everything", it was mind blowing So my favorite thing is .. the possibility of shaping the world. Terraform, build, mine, and then remove it all and make a dense forest or meadow.. or canal for boats.. anything.

I like the longer harvest periods, I lost count how many harvest i seen go "overaged" cause things just grow too fast while I'm at work, so in a way this update might even make my get more harvest due to less overaged crops. ;D But well, I'd rather have slower growth then less yield like others have said.

Bene JK

Pah! I lost :'( Did not think of this since 25.10.2008.... ( did check my msn logs..)

I guess so many ppl at the same place did make backup a .. tad more laggy then normal today
