    One thing I never understood about Wurm, is the lack of decorations and furniture. Granted that I've haven't played in almost a decade, but as I go through the deeds of people I see almost the same items we had way back then.

    And I have to wonder why? save space to keep the game light? save in polygons to render? assets too expensive?

    Wurm looks like the perfect game to have tons of decoration and furniture fluff, either free or gated behind pay 20+ level characters or DLC.

    Even on Deliverance, the most deed-crowded server we have, there is quite a lot of lakefront space un-deeded to this day. Large bits of bear lake in the north and most of Nightmare lake just as two examples. These are accessible from the sea via canals. You can have a lakefront deed a few minutes by boat from the server edge.

    I don't know if this map is up to date. But 90% of the coastline is either built or has a road plopped down.

    Didn't expect some answers(and even less their mocking/condescending tone).

    As a new player you check servers and walk either a little or ten miles(I spend 5 hours sailing with my new SFI character) and everything is deeded, built or fenced off and with what looks like a protected highway(which delimits what can be built or not). It is specially so in coastal areas.

    I have played in Minecraft anarchy servers that were more pristine than what Wurm PvE servers offer.

    They've added Canoes, very easy to make, travel at like 10KM/H by holdign forward, actually damn handy. They are meant to be used then thrown away too. 

    Well then I'm gonna log in and try to make a canoe. Thanks for the information.

    I'm on Independance currently and can boat you back to Deli if you come to the west coast where I am, bit of a trek.

    Thanks. But I'm currently waiting if I'm accepted in a deed in Deliverance and wanted to scout the place while the mayor logs in. So don't really know if I will accepted, and if not I received an invitation to another deed in Independence..

     

    Also I haven't played in 9 years, how viable is making a boat on your own with a fresh character?

    Is there any other endgame for PvE besides building?

    Is there free land in the servers or there are still kilometer long fenced deeded areas, and people that get angry if I set up home near them?

     

    I remember having fun grinding stuff for combat as the end goal(not doing the PvP myself, just enjoyed the logistic aspect). I wonder how things have changed in the Freedom islands, and if there's new end game things to do besides building and having a set of drake. armor.


    Also kinda nostalgic looking at the pics of the game now, guess everyone I knew is dead now. Hell even my toon that was on Epic is dead as it seems I didn't transfer it to Freedom(RIP 80 smithing).

    Indeed.

    "They're made out of meat."

    "Meat?"

    "Meat. They're made out of meat."

    "Meat?"

    "There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

    "That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

    "They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."

    "So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

    "They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."

    "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

    "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

    "Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage."

    "Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?"

    "Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside."

    "Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through."

    "No brain?"

    "Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you."

    "So ... what does the thinking?"

    "You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat."

    "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!"

    "Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?"

    "Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat."

    "Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years."

    "Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?"

    "First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual."

    "We're supposed to talk to meat."

    "That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing."

    "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"
    "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

    "I thought you just told me they used radio."

    "They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

    "Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"

    "Officially or unofficially?"

    "Both."

    "Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."

    "I was hoping you would say that."

    "It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"

    "I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?"

    "Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact."

    "So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe."

    "That's it."

    "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?"

    "They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them."

    "A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream."

    "And we marked the entire sector unoccupied."

    "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?"

    "Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."

    "They always come around."

    "And why not? Imagine how unbearably, how unutterably cold the Universe would be if one were all alone ..."

    And that's all folks, hope you liked it(tbh idc). And I think y'all got the 肉 joke, I couldn't help myself, and I could found a better pic of 肉ã•ã‚“, but for obvious reasons I have better ones of å°é³©ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“ anyway.

    I'm using it more or less since the first week of it being up, so I would say is a good file hosting.

    Also I would point out to the obvious joke, but I would prefer not to, even thou I know there are lots of normies around here that wouldn't get it.
