Silver candlesticks strike simultaneously!

Thank you for the suggestion - I intended the above as a suggestion of where to locate such goods, but this may not be necessary at all. Thank you for the input

Good evening folks, There has been much controversy over this topic, and I would like to clarify a few matters. Now, my time for Wurm is quite heavily limited with real life commitments, and thus far since the concept of 'Academy Project' was introduced, I have not been communicating with villages, and I am not too aware of what Elwood has been saying to the villages. I am going to discuss these things with him later. The intention of this project, is to intertwine villages that aspire to assist new players in Wurm. My specific desire with the direction to take this project in is, or was, to clarify that this project would be used in establishing connections, both useful for the Village Mayors and the Veterans trying to assist New Players, as well as the New Players themselves. With the publicity our village has gained, we do get the lion's share of New Players in Freedom. Not all of them are interested in the area we have at the Academy; perhaps not interested in our methods or our general state of affairs. Perhaps they seek out alternatives that we simply cannot provide. This is very understandable, as we have never aspired to gain New Players to our village and force them to stay. We stay as unbiased as possible in letting these players decide their own route to take in Wurm. Leading on from this, that is part of the usefulness of this Academy Project. I want to gather all the members together, get all the Mayors of each Village that is a part of the project to write a few lines describing what their village is looking for, what they can offer etc. So New Players have much easier means of being able to locate Villages that offer what they are looking for, and for Villages to be able to seek new members more quickly. In addition to the above, I had been toying about with the pheasability of opening more trade routes for New Players and the connected Merchants, allowing New Players to aquire the items they need at reasonable prices, another advantage for Villages that are a part of the project. (This is intended as a suggestions list of places where one can obtain items from certain craftsmen, although this is not wholly necessary. This will be addressed at a later date.) We feel that as a single unit, we would be alot more effective in achieving our aims of being able to help New Players out in Freedom, and not even necessarily just Freedom - we were hoping this could extend to Wild, with villages from wild signing up to the Project, to offer New Players the means to the world of Player vs Player combat. By being a single unit, we have the combined strength of all the members of the project to be able to aid New Players in ways much more effective than just the Academy ever can. The Academy, on it's own, is one village - although our specific intentions are in offering New Players the means and facilities to at least a basic education in Wurm common knowledge, and the experience of being a part of a Wurming community. Through this Project, with enough members, we would be able to offer so much more to New Players in, effectively, having the extra facilities, the extra staff and the extra support to be able to narrow down what New Players are looking for, open up more oportunities for them, and give them a Wurming experience much closer to what they joined the game to experience. We also see it on a 'win-win' basis for the Villages involved, because they can more effectively gain new players to their deeds, they will have more routes to sell their wares through the project, and they will be able to use the project and other members of the project to support the warm welcome that many of us recieved into Wurm (All those eons ago!) and pass that onto the New generation of Wilders and Freedomites, in time to come. I can accept the view that certain individuals have fabricated in relation to the project; I can empathise and see how perhaps this is interpretable as a power-grab. However, I assure you that this whole thing has only been done with the best intentions of New Players and other Villages in mind. It's not like the Academy consequently owns these villages, it's just the reassurance that these Villages are all dedicated to the common cause of assisting New Players, and that they can use the project to advertise their village in order to appeal to New Players, that seek an experience similar to what they offer. I also wish to clarify that being a part of the Academy Project is not the only way of being a helpful village on Freedom, although I see that perhaps that is a downside to this. To overcome this, I want to go creating lists of villages Not a part of the Academy Project that are also willing to help New Players. If not, perhaps emphasising the point that nearly all villages on Freedom are new-player friendly an will help out. Whatever works best. If you have any suggestions for how I can do this best, please inform me. If you help me, I can help you more effectively, and we can work together to resolve any existing controversies. I hope this clears up any doubts in relation to the project, and if you have any remaining problems, questions, queries or concerns, feel free to ask below. I intend to create another thread, in time, when I have communicated with all interested participants, that will summarise all the villages, through the few lines advertising their village and what they offer, as well as any available pictures of the site and extra comments from the staff involved. If you are interested in the Project and have not yet signed up, feel free to leave a message in the thread, or send me a private message over the forums if you do not wish to speak publicly. Thank you for the time, and I hope this clarifies any existing problems. Yours formally, and with the best of intentions, Dannyiron, Academy Founder.

Welcome everyone! Village check: Ultimarus is now an Academy-Owned Satellite State of the Academy of Enlightenment! Villages that are a part of the Academy Project: Free Bears New Vagrant Solace Underworld Welcome to one and all involved!

Make samling a maze with no exit!

It was only messed up for a month, because JKH closed a month later.

I agree with the above. The theory of this village and it's cause is noble, but without the support to carry it through, it's useless. Elwood and I cannot run the whole thing by ourselves, and we struggle with the help of our higher individuals such as mandrade and terzor. We need new staff, or this project may have to be reconsidered entirely, or to a more managable level. Yours kindly, Dannyiron, DI

What is this!?

/me weeps gently... I have that effect on people. D:

Damn... you beared well given the situation ;D You simply wolfed through those animals! The poor deers! At least they aren't trolling you after that one. 8)

Big update! Ultimarus has now officially become a satellite state of the Academy of enlightenment! Would like to welcome Soniczap as an Elder of the Academy of Enlightenment. Welcome aboard, buddy!

Welcome to the world of Wurm I won't be your tour guide this evening, but I'm sure you'll work something out

I got to 8... ... ...% loaded, then realised it would take forever and closed it again.

It should automatically start frozen when you log in, always and immediately.

Why don't you give the referal(s) to the person(s) that brought you to wurm. That's what there truly meant for. By selling the referral it's abuse of the system, I'm surprised Rolf didn't nerf them Sooner. When you refer a future employee to to your employer and your employer has a referral program, you should get the bonus. The New Employee does not have the right to sell the bonus to the highest bidder. Who's saying that I didn't give my referral to the person that bought me wurm? Can only give them once, and I've purchased others who have decided to sell theirs.

Well, this is saddening considering the 6 unused referrals I have mean I have 2 months less of premium ¬_¬ So, referrals are worth like 4.5s now?

What I would love to see each special time of year, is a unique weapon, item of clothing, piece of armour - something like that! Potential ideas: -Candy cane, identical stats to a 30ql longsword, but doesnt suffer damage? -Santa hat -Santa costume -Reindeer costume -Elf costume -Reindeer around christmas time, for a certain period. Tamable, neutral non-breedable? (Similar to deer?) -Elves around christmas time, for a certain period. Tamable, neutral non-breedable? (Similar to neutral goblins?) That sort of thing Something fun and unique! Something interesting to have I think the last two would be fun to have variants of each year

Cloth: isnt considered armour imo Then an 'other' option should be included. Drake: too rare Then an 'other' option should be included. None: then dont worry about this post Then a player might vote what they would wear, rather than what they do wear if they had to wear something, which is slightly misleading. Scale: also too rare Then an 'other' option should be included.

Congratulations you two! Dear all concerned, From the Management Team here at the Academy, I bear a very important notice. The face of the Academy is going to change. What we believe, in the three months or so we have been in our current location after our re-location, we have been so focused so hard on just teaching new players, that we have lost all basics of the game. Things have stopped being so fun, but so much more objective. That is a seriously bad thing. Who wants to come home from school or work, just to do more learning? So what we are going to do, is Change the face of the Academy. We will stop being an establishment of Education, a school. We will be a Village. A Village is somewhere fun, enjoyable, and a pleasure to be a part of. When we say this, we will NOT stop teaching players. We are merely changing our deed concept - we are, of now, a village - not a school. In this, we intend to Teach and help new villagers of ours through a Village lifestyle and scheme, and as a community, rather than through a school-like deed and lessons. (When I say lessons, I don't mean like actual school lessons. We might say, for digging, take them to somewhere appropriate, show them all functions associated with digging, give them some tips, answer questions, show them how to construct dirt piles etc.) We hope this will also make our village more attractive to experienced players which will help us teach players better and more effectively than before, but most importantly, will make sure everyone has more fun than ever before. Wurm is a game, and by forgetting that and turning it into more of a chore with the teaching than a game, I think we were starting to burn out from being objective in trying to teach people, than having fun and playing the game. To conclude, in this move to being a village and focusing more on village life, we aspire to be a more attractive prospect to experienced players, and to new players, so that we can all work together, to achieve great things, and most importantly, to have fun and play the game. All whilst, in the long term, being able to provide education and fun to all our players, new and old. Thank you very much! Yours faithfully, Dannyiron, Academy Boss.

You didn't include: Cloth Drake None Scale

Certainly, it would be a pleasure to have you join us, Owen PM sent

You mean the Room of Requirement. : This is right. Sheesh Zarma : ;D
