  1. Thanks Zach, and all the favor is done now, thanks to champagne dragon and thicket!
  2. no, i think 24x rare 95q forges is good enough.... Thanks anyway thoe lol
  3. (Under construction still, mostly accurate) Well its nearly that time of year again, yes of course I'm talking about the good ol' days of always looking over your shoulder in case 12 trolls escaped the arena, casting yourself off a cliff for prizes, trying to figure out which dragons are real, remembering which forge your pants are in during an emergency, or watching 10 templars mow down misbehavers and other such great Friendalong past times, so prepare yourselves, this year will be predicable deadly, but I'm sure you all have come to expect nothing less... And if not, welcome to the party, pants are optional! This years event, lucky #7 (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) will again be held July 20th to the 25th same date/time/location as previous years. But on a more serious note, This event is as usual brought to you by Dragon Beard Markets, the Elysian Academy Alliance of Pristine, and the donations from the community members like you! Fun and games aside we're really all here to imp/cast stuff and enjoy each others company riiiight? On that note... If you want to contribute your labor, please make a post including the skills that your want to work with so we can get a general idea of skill coverage, If you want to contribute with materials or prizes please contact @VirusMDor @Goldfinchwith a DM or leave a post here. All material/prize donations can be viewed on the Event G-doc which will be available soon. Some of you are new to wurm this year and might be asking what is an "Imp-along"? as these types of events are generally called. Well basically is a community event supported by a player host or hosts, who provide resources and facilities for the benefit of everyone, it tends to turn into a party. Each host's style is a bit unique so each "Imp-along" varies greatly. But basically its a place where everyone gets together to improve and cast for each other in a freeform labor exchange with resources provided. It the case of Friendalong Its a week long party, packed with all sorts of fun and games, prizes, booze, coffee, food, a very active PVE battle arena, and a ton of other events/games created by players! Anyone can come, anyone can help imp. Often people just come to grind there skill for free. You don't have to be able to get to maximum quality imp, just do what you can and someone else will finish up the work! Of course there are limits on equipment amounts that will be spelled out in detail below. You do not HAVE to contribute, but its certainly welcome and appreciated, and you can work your skills for free on other peoples gear. The only real restrictions is on channeling skill which should be at least 70 to help prevent shattered items. The arena should be infested with all the monsters and probably way too many of them again, but we will deal with it! This is also an important time of the year for the GM's. Its important to give them there chance to kill you, lets face it, you probably hassled one at some point this year, and they have a year of frustration to vent! So be sure to partake of the arena! As I always say, If you didn't die at the imp-along you did it wrong! Hit it hard and you can get a months worth of fighting done in a few days without the exploration! Eagle Eyes! I just wanted to take this moment to thank everyone for the diligence and effort you all put into keeping things fair and on the level, reporting suspect things/item violations and generally helping keep this and other player driven events on the level. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to keep these things going without your help. The moment people start to feel taken advantage of with the donation of there personal time/effort/skill/resources/prizes etc. That is the same moment people no longer want to contribute those things anymore, and these things are dead. As annoying as it may be, every report, every time we have to take action, is an opportunity to reinforce to those players that we're looking out for them and the integrity of these events. Thank you all. When: July 20th - 25th 2024. Where: Pristine, T16, Friendship Bay deed. Map: In game Map View. Map: Terrain View. You can also plot to Dragon Beard from any highway, then just follow the highway west a few hundred tiles to the deed. Discord Details coming soon, still working on some renovations there. Ship Parking and Ship Imps: What we need: A DRAGON EGG, GIMME, STOP HORDING! The sooner you offer me one the less likely I am to be broke The stuff below not at 100% Cool stuff to give people! Sanity? Some folks interested in streaming bits of the event. Materials on hand: (Updated 3/25/24) You all make this too easy anymore, often on site donations after the event starts, once added to the inventory, exceed the material we started with, so thank you all for your generosity, resources not used will continue to roll over year to year. Huge thanks to @thicketfor the very generous donation to the tune of 460,000 Favor toward the events goal, or almost half of the total amount! *rounds of applause* And another round of applause for the great @ChampagneDragonwho does the wemp > cordage conversion for us every year!

  4. Tried to dm you today, will try again a couple more times before i log today.
  5. imp cost will vary depending on the material and current quality. Examine the chart find your material and subtract its current q's value from the desired q's cost for an estimate. The rest of the work wont be a problem.
  6. is this gonna get fixed or what? i see it was on the patch notes that there loadable, and yet i cannot load or move them at all.....
  7. Both orders are in the forge, should be in your boxes in 3 hours ish, Vynora willing
  8. Lol this happens because often people wait until they arrive to make donations, and i never add it to the count until i have it in hand. So by time i get it we already have the goal amount. Sometimes the amount donated exceeds usage.
  9. Ok, I hope everyone is ready for this years summary of events! As usual well start with thanks for all the admins and Staffers who showed up to help us out with various things. Admins were Myself, Goldfinch Battygirlsback, Zachariah, Smackeddown, Promirdia, Explora, Ladygodiva, Kindashae, and this year we also welcome Atheline to the team. As usual Evening provided the bulk of the chow with a large amount of 99q Pizza's. Reddragons bar got some upgrades this year and as usual his role playing fits right in with these kind of events. He provided much booze and some excellent food choices as well! Reddragon also wants to remind you to "Drink responsibly. Don't want to spill your drink." Now onto the GM's. Sadly we seemed to have much less GM activity this year and I'm not 100% sure why. I'm assuming its mainly based on all the staff loss's over the recent months. Witch is very sad But regardless I wanted to throw out a huge thanks to Pomona, Vayu, Belisama and a couple others who showed up to fuel the arena and murder us. Of course this event could not have been possible again without the tireless efforts of Champagnedragon who does our favor conversion every year, she is just amazing. We had The Sermonator bot again this year and it went even smoother then last year using the Priestpalloza system Raybarg has built, and the system just keeps getting better! Ok now on to some stats! We had a lot more granular data this year with some local logging and alts positioned around for log catching, and it help out a lot in the summary of the stats. Some materials we came out a bit ahead on again this year when adding the during event donations to the roster again. Usage stats are starting to become quite predictable now. Drama this year....... Basically none! My biggest grievance is the people who either cant or wont read the damn thread! Really I get that its a lot of information, but this is a huge event and there is a lot to it. So many PM's with questions that could have easily been answered in local or simply by reading the thread. I did receive some good feedback in regards to the thread and organization witch we will implement next year. >>Ticket Breakdown<< Guest Book Entries: Event Stats: Screenshots: In summary I just wanted to thank you all for coming. Honestly this event is the reason that I still play regularly. I fund a huge amount of this event via my Dragon Beards Market Shop and without all your support there I would not be able to keep going at the standards we do! I hope you all had a good time, I know I did! - VirusMD
  10. @Kristerthat thread reads like the biggest pile of ######. My translation "I knowingly stepped on my ###### and don't care I ###### all your staff." All these staff losses in the last year are just absurd. It should be obvious to you by now your going the wrong direction! You have greatly underestimated the community of this game and should be ashamed, Get your head out of your ass. Thoe to be honest it may already be past the tipping point now. The full extent of the fallout of this debacle has yet to be revealed and more staff will inevitable step down over your money grubbing, ###### the players shenanigan's. I've tried to give you time to proof yourself but you now made it clear to me that you are a terrible CEO for this company. You may have squeezed a few more dollars out of it for now, but at what cost. Just because wurm has been around nearly 2 decades does not make it indestructible. From fraudulent AI artwork that is not at all representative of the game on the website to the my way or the highway attitude with staffers.... Those who fail to learn from there mistakes become the lesson. You have been warned. Locking the initial thread of replies just comes off as a childish "i don't see it so its not a problem" attitude, and you should have fully expected this type of response. At this point I cant help but wonder if this ###### brewing in the background the last few days is why we had little to no GM activity at this years Annual Friendalong the last few days. Many people were quit disappointed by this as one of the main activities at these events is the challenge of the Arena's. I think we had 2-3 visits over the course of the last 72 hours witch is well below normal. If this is a sign of things to come, were all ######. This is also not the first time your lack of give a ###### has negatively affected these types of events. Two years ago even thoe I had the dates posted 6 months in advance you guys decided to do the steam release the same ###### day practically as Friendalong thus forcing people to choose to play the land rush game or go to this annual event. We saw a significant decrease in attendance that year, even thoe I pushed the date forward a week to accommodate it was till an incredibly shitty move that I hold you responsible for. This move alone screwed up a bunch of ppls vacations etc they had put in for to attend this event all week etc. This is just one choice of many you have made over the last couple years that are pushing wurm in the wrong direction. We are not teenagers you can just shuffle around.
  11. Room 401 Room 402 sorry guys i guess i missed you on the next page! Ill set them in the next 15 minutes.
