  1. Ok... here is what wiki says: "The only thing left to get started is to create your new Herd. You do this by Right-Clicking in the Active hers section and choosing 'Create new herd'. Give your herd a name and hit return. Now select your herd and it's time to get started." Is it me? Where is the Active Herd section? I've right clicked on everything and I do not find the option to create new herd. I've gone to both views (herd and regular) Why is this so hard for me???
  2. Just found your application and I can see it making life easier in wurm!! I have a question about Granger. I am using version 2.0.70.0 ..... I have to set up a herd but can't figure out how to do that. Could you tell me what to do? I get a blinking curser on Herds: but I can't put anything in that field. Help!! Really wanting to use your app!
  3. Same as above. Chaos. Tries to connect and it times out giving me the retry or quit options. Almost 7pm EST
  4. Wurm Crash?

    East Coast US.... I logged on at last!
  5. I have to give you a BIG HUG and KISS!!! Well done Dadd!! I will admit that I am the one who bet him.... Wonder what I'll bet him next! hehehe.
  6. First, I'd like to say that I appreciate Ayes for saying that Wurm is all about doing what you love doing. We all play our own way and for our own reasons. It's all about perspective! And... it's all about point and click. An obsession with mining may seem ridiculous to someone who loves to breed horses. To each his/her own! Me? I am an avid Gardener!!! Most of my time in WURM is spent farming, planting, pruning, harvesting. Skills: farming: 79.64 forrestry: 74.55. Why? Because I love it!! I have orchards and vineyards and groves of trees. I agree with Yarnevk. I don't see the point in cutting down an orchard just to replant it. You have to wait for the harvest season anyway. I wander systematically thru my trees pruning and picking sprouts. I keep the high ql ones and discard or give away the rest. As in real life, a gardener loves to share her rootstock! If I see a shriveled tree a week or so before harvest time I will replace it. Otherwise I just let nature take it's course and it will replant itself most of the time. I just reread your initial post....GEEZ....that's a lot of work!!! Not all of my orchards are on deeds, but I have high quality stone fences around them so that they can't be cut down. I put a vineyard on a steep hill....took a bit of terraforming but I have the sloaps at 24 so I can walk without climbing. I'll try to pay more attention to this too. The answer to your last question Yarnevk is no. I get no special insight....maybe that will happen at when I hit 75? Good luck with your project fractal! We all love projects in wurm....it's what keeps us going. I have come to the conclusion that people leave wurm because they become bored... they run out of projects. The guys love building their deed... but when it's done they get bored and go start another deed or leave the game. Have fun with your passion fractal!! Let us know your conclusions!
  7. My in game name is ruthie. I've been playing WURM for over 5 years. I live in Crystal City with Dadd. We talk daily on a variety of topics. Sometimes it's what is going on in our lives...other times I ask him questions about how to do something in game. Not too long ago I was reading an article about macroing. I used to play ATITD where macroing was allowed. So I asked him about it in relation to WURM. His response was that he doesn't macro because it's cheating, and that when you play WURM the doing is the playing. Since Dadd has posted his stats I can talk about his mining skill. Last spring he decided to grind mining to 99.99. He said it would take a few weeks... (chuckle). I was a skeptic! I had followed a conversation once on kchat concerning exactly this: Grinding a skill to 99.99. Because of the algorithm I knew it was going to take many many months! I'd ask him how mining was going and his response was always SLOW! Then he'd comment that the gain had slowed again... only getting .05 gain after 5 hours of work. There there were the messages of 'fatigue' so he'd have to stop and put dadd to bed. He did not macro. If you read his post where he talks about the way he plays you can see that he is a hard core player. He is at work while playing so he is often afk. (I know.... I have to wait for his response to my MANY chats!!! *grins*) He works on several characters at one time on two computers. He knows the keys so well that he doesnt' have to look when he is grinding a specific skill. I have known him for 5 years and know him as an honorable man. I trust him as do others who call him friend.
  8. I have to thank Crazybill for dragging me to WURM. We were playing ATITD and when I first came here I HATED it...... but it grew on me and now no other game will do! Because I didn't like the game I just stood around and chatted...with anyone who would talk with me. I had no idea what to do ... no idea about grinding skills... no idea about wiki! I have come a LONG way!!!!! One day this guy comes into local and I asked if he needed a drink or a meal.... That was the day I met Dadd. I'd be on autowalk and then lag horribly so that I was totally lost. He would find me! I 'organized' his house and he didn't mind! LOL He left me raw meat (I didn't cook... too busy chatting)! He traded my deed with one of his by a lake that was closer to him so that I'd be under his guards. He has been so patient with me! Teasing, encouraging, laughing, supporting, teaching. Others would try to explain how to do things (like terraforming) but I just didn't get it. Dadd explained it and I understood! I'm proud to say that my digging skill is 86.08! He would take me hunting to get experience. I think part of the reason is because he laughed at my antics!!!! He is my best friend in the game and I am so very glad we met. Maxamishtegreat and Violet are great friends too! Lots of time in Woodscove! Gatwick (where the heck did he go??) was always encouraging and I got my Orchard inspiration from him. There have been others thru the years that have taken the time to chat and have fun. Wurm is a great game...with lots of good people! .... ruthie (in game name)
  9. In game I am known as 'ruthie', and I'm in the over 50 crowd too. Someone said they never got older than 25! Understood..... I love playing WURM... have made some wonderful friends. After 5 years of playing I have some pretty good skills!!
  10. Zeeawk is an alt who has access to the house and the contents in the house. He (Rudie using Zeeawk) then mailed the items to an alt then proceeded to sell them. The goof was trusting someone with a password then forgetting to deny access. It's a mighty big lesson to learn! Seven Deadly Sins: A pound of flesh.
  11. There is a new update I gather since it did the Pack Updates. BUT>>>> I can not log on because of and Error. Here is the message I keep getting. Update failed! (Error: Could not copy graphics.jar to graphics.jar.bak Any ideas? Help? I really would like to play!!! Thanks in advance!
  12. Man this does not surprise me. As far as I could make out, this was almost certainly a genuine mistake and the person who inflicted the wound went about healing it himself! The point was already made at the time and there really is no need to try to conceal that you are trying to do exactly as you have been trying to do to me, ie stir up general bad feeling against someone that you have decided to target with your puerile resentment and dislike. Please do not attempt to turn this post into another excuse for your back sniping and flame baiting. This comment deliberately made publically rather directly to a GM as report and complaint of harassment because I feel it is necessary that both you and any who have not yet cottoned on to your mean minded tactics have clear opportunity to see that your malignity is not as 'invisible' as you seem to think it is. Any further negative comment by you toward or about me I shall consider to be clear evidence and substantiation of the deliberate personal attack and harassment that I already consider it to be. Any further unsubstantiated negative comment made by you about myself or any other player, will result in me immediately reporting your post to the forum staff. What they choose to do about it is their decision, but do not expect me to sit idle and silent in the face of blatant and immature nasty tactics. +1 This Flake seems so negative about all in wurm, from histroy seems to lead with their mouth, clutch in engage mind, let go of stick.
