  1. Wyvern

    Using the fixed Items DB, I'm getting a "bind" error when starting the server. Anybody know why? Error snippet below: [11:39:32 PM] INFO com.wurmonline.server.Server: Shutting down the server - reason: Problem running the server - Cannot assign requested address: bind [11:39:32 PM] INFO com.wurmonline.server.Server: Shutting down the server - cause: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: bind at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Unknown Source) at sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Unknown Source) I've looked up the error, and it seems to be related to a port that is being used by another app, and failing to bind that port for the server. I can't find any other instance of the default port being used by anything. EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out. Needed to point to local IP instead of *actual* "External" IP address.
  2. Finally!!! My precious is returning! Love the Challenge changes. Simply can't wait!!!!!
  3. Glad to see so many ethically impaired people... and not even in the Horde. You are correct, but I didn't claim that. I said it would reduce the number. Perhaps the rules should be changed... ya know, for those who can't win in a fair contest...
  4. I assume you mean portal transfer. To that point, I would like to see this as well. However, making it pay-to-play would greatly reduce the number of spy alts, and I'm all for it regardless of how it is "connected".
  5. Free-to-play allows for far too many alts, both enemy kingdom and same kingdom. I'm in favor of anything to stop enemy kingdom alts. I'm sure it was common, but we had one guy that had about 6 alts just for mules... and arguing with CAs in the Global Chat tab (aka CA Help).
  6. There were usually plenty of horses in BL territory, we just had to take a boat to reach them.
  7. Smoother slopes Thinner dirt layer No islands More hell horses or faster breeding schedule Horses don't swim unless being lead No local tab, replace with "spidey-sense" indicator Global chat tab 2 kingdoms(white vs black, ie: good vs evil) Adda/glimmer veins with high rarity, low yield(100-200 actions), no spawn drops Drake/scale only drop from dragons, 2-3 full sets worth Some static supply depots(normal items), some randomly spawning, guarded, supply camps(rare items and coin) Twigs spawn in rare supply camps 2-4 per 24 hours 5 item max corpse looting, no picking up/burying enemy player corpses unless empty Personal tents work in kingdom land, military tents work anywhere and can be used by multiple players(permissions based)
  8. I'm clearly in the minority here, but I LOVE this idea. The problem with PVP in Wurm has always been the grind to get good enough, only to lose a chunk of it in moments. Skill loss, and especially gear loss, has always been a limiting factor in PVP activity. With this type of gameplay, that becomes a non-issue. You get back what you lost in perhaps hours, and are ready again. I left Epic because of two things, drama and being out skilled due to others who had more time to grind. With this game mode, at least the second one will be gone. Until more testicles descend, the drama will most likely continue... It's a game, this mode will make it feel more like one, and less like work. And to those whining, it's just a trial. If nobody likes it, the numbers will reveal that. But, just like all the haters of every new game, each of you will still line up to try the new shiny. Give it a chance, let it fly or die.
  9. I've been trying you too, haha. But I'm in America, so our timing is going to be way off. I will see if I can find a fence to leave him in. EDIT: As requested, I left him in a fence at Poolsclosed. However, he is on deed and I don't think you will be able to get him without help from a villager. He is in a pen close to the water, overlooking the market.
  10. Cool! I figured the owner may not be the one caring, but would know who was. Wasn't sure how well a forum post would work, but sure enough. When are you online? I play pretty late, US Central time. We are south of you, down the path, by the first lake. My Release character is Trekker. My friend RCrusher and his alt Riest are online a bit more than me, and he can get the horse for you too, if you are in the area. If you can send a tell and catch me on, the run is short, I'll gladly deliver. Can't speak for him though.
  11. I was in the area, got the attention of a troll, called guards on him, and they fought next to a fence. The troll bashed the fence and set the horse free. I have the horse now, and am wanting to reunite him with his owner. The horse's name is Wingcloud, color is grey. There is a name for the person who is caring for him. I assume that is the owner. Give me that name and I will return your horse.
  12. That 7970 must be a beast. I run two 6870s and only get .6 silver over 24 hours, fans @100%.
  13. I'm curious what your speed is to get this. I was getting a silver a day back when the reward was double. Was running around 500i/hr. What setup do you have to get similar results now?
  14. WOOT #1!!! And, seeing as how I ran it for a few days as "birdmansback", I'm #20 also!
