  1. Sneak peak at the new office!..... I remember a picture of Rolf years ago in the first office, (wonder if that's still around somewhere) You've come along way in a relatively short time. Grats
  2. Bought.. nice transaction. Good seller
  3. Easy fix.. stop giving gifts (that are usually just old , anyway). We pay for the game. Extras are exactly that.
  4. Hold on to the account til you're ready to come back. And you know you will
  5. give em an inch...they want a mile
  6. Only on the day dedicated to "celebrating" spookiness and evil do we encourage our children to go to strangers' houses, talk to those strangers, and accept candy from them. Any other day we would call the police on these alleged candy givers.
  7. swiimng is a distance that drains a new player to 50%.. rowboats and cows are not strength or skill based. There is a vry short run but not enough to form ant advantage
  8. UPDATE: (initially posted at the top) Festivities ares scheduled to begin at 10:00 am EST. sorry .. auction timer was all I could find. Following a short registration and social period, we will open with a non-skill based triathalon, where everyone will have as close to an equal chance as we could determine. It will start with a short swim, followed by a rowboat trip, followed by a bull race. The afternoon festivities will focus on the Iron Man competition. This will have 3 stages: Stage 1: Tree Carry; contestants will carry a felled tree for 30 tiles. Stage 2: Cart pull up and over the hill Stage 3: Loaded Cart Pull: Racers will start with a large cart loaded with 30 rock shards. Every 5 tiles will be a pile of rock shards. Racer may add as many or as few rock shards (up to20) as he desires at each point, and may drop along the way. Score will be a combination of time and weight pulled across the finish. Final score will be determined by adding the time of the first 2 events and the score of the third. In the downtime, there will be a few forges and iron available for imping. etc as players desire. Following the Saturday races,, there will be a local, live auction, where players may auction their wares. Bring your stuff and cash. Items will be sold 1 at a time using a standard rl auction format. Buyer agrees to pay on the spot, or as requested by purchaser. Sunday activities will begin at appx the same time, and will consist of a bare knuckle sparring contest. This is a winner-continues, last man standing tournament. we anticipate this continuing for a few hours. Do not dismay if you can not make the start time, as events should continue throughout the day, and registration will be allowed.as available. We will supply limited housing and beds, but there is a large are for tents, and lockable chests will be supplied as long as supplies last. We could use some help tonight and throughout tomorrow, any help or donations would be appreciated.
  9. that's incorrect... If i had them all at once, then I could see the one I wanted and pick from that one time. But I didnt post to argue or defend myself, the category is SUGGESTIONS, and that's what I meant to do.
  10. I wasn't asking for no changes as much as save up and change them all at once.
  11. Although I have great respect and appreciation for the dev team, and appreciate their effort in bringing new and improved content to the game, occasionally a change is made that brings more harm than good. IMO the change of the maple hedge model is one such change. As with many wurm players, I build my areas to be uniform and consistent. That is important to me, and I spend alot of time making stuff straight and flat and aesthetically pleasing. Imagine my surprise when I logged on, and splattered around my beautiful dark green hedge row are several light green hedges. After relogging twice and asking for another player to verify the nonconformity, I moved to anther area before my head exploded. My problem is; I can't leave them like this. My options are to move the animals that are inside this enclosure to a different area, or build a temporary fence, and replace the maple with conforming Cedar or another hedge type. I can do this, but fear that next week, another sin will change, and Ill have to do it all over. Now, I would like to see flowering hedges.. maybe from a fruit type that currently has no hedge model That is a change that adds something. But to change a dark green texture to a light green just screws with the meds. Please, guys, if you are going to change them, change them all at once. Or give us a tool (pruning shears) that would allow us to change the hedge type. Flame away, Ivan
  12. Although the response has been positive, I still have have no one saying they will show up. This feels like a fun event to me, but will suck with 4 participants. Please let e know if you are considering participating in the events, so we can determine how to move forward.

I Wurm lacks in a couple of aspects, but we can all agree, there is no shortage of E-Peen. In celebration of the end of the fall season and worldwide celebration of Octoberfest, we will attempt to hold the first annual Wurm's Toughest Man (or woman) Competition The event will be held over 2 days..Saturday, October 18, and Sunday October 19. October 25 and 26th. Saturday's Mornings festivities will begin with a coast to Deli rowboat race. Participants will leave the shore at Lilly Beach, and sail south, across the border into Deli, and back. Rowboats will be supplied. This is will be a Single Tier Competition, with heats held based on the number of participants. Saturday afternoon will be the Mouth of the Bay Triathalon.. consisting of 3 legs.. a swim, tree carry, and cart pull. Sunday's Celebration will be a skill-tiered, no-holds barred, bare knuckle, butt naked, sparring contest, held at the open Lilly Beach, to eliminate lag. I see this a Last man standing event, meaning the winner of the first event continues on until he is knocked off. Participants will be allowed only 1 loss, and a match ends at the first man wounded (appx 5 minutes in recent test). This could be followed by challenge matches if desired. There will be individual event titles as well as overall champions based on strength/skill levels Success will be based on participation. I estimate, for this to be fun, we need at least 30 participants in each event. To get a feel for interest, please respond to the poll. Recommendations for other events and call-outs/challenges can be added below, until the thread is locked.
  14. The original discussion started on the 11th of September. That , of course, got derailed, so another discussion post was started on the 18th, and the poll was added 3 days later with this, There appears to have been no other submissions since then. To say you didn't have ample time to submit your deed for consideration is unfair at the least.
  15. Do to the atmosphere on Xanadu resulting in many votes being cancelled, and the closing of the discussion thread, I request a recall.
  16. This is the US way of planning an attack. Give the enemy a 60 day heads up that you're coming.
  17. Seems like a good opportunity to train war machines if the walls are off deed.. just to match e-peen
  18. the old way was to drag it into your inventory... then into the bsb. This eliminated a step, but still takes your strength into consideration. I see it as an improvement.
