  1. A long time ago there was a bug crossing servers that would show the previous servers decorations in the same place on the new server until a relog, wonder if it's similarly showing the other servers nodes.
  2. This right here is the problem, why does there have to be a loss. New features and content do not have to come at the cost of old ones and none of the reasons so far have convinced me otherwise.
  3. Goodbye

    We've had some great times and some pretty crap ones but through it all I have some amazing memories of hanging out with you man, one of the funniest guys here. Good luck with your family and I wish you the best for wherever life takes you. Never forget Chandlerz and what you made him tell his mum
  4. I've got a handful of 100s, getting to name one, collected all the tomes on 2 of 3 clusters and lived my best wurm life. I've become a God, a GM and a chancelloress. I've built a heritage site, major infrastructure on many different servers and been part of several wonderful communities and their projects. I think my favourite thing is all the people I have been able to help over the years and the most recent accomplishment is joining two servers together
  5. KellyT forever a pirate.
  6. They don't need to know where the skill is or what it does but fact is they are the ones who will benefit most from the initial skill for exactly the reason you say but instead of simply looking for cotton in their now safe space while askng for help they have to venture back out to find a node and get crap ql longer because their skill isn't climbing.
  7. Thanks for that, at least it's not just me. It shouldn't be that hard under the new system and you shouldn't be suddenly skill blocked. Obviously rng will always vary the outcome but it's still too time consuming and difficult IMO
  8. I did test it, setting skills to a modest 50 and got none of them, saying super common is a massive overstatement I'm sorry.
  9. Just spent 45 min on test setting out with the goal to find nutmeg, sassafras and nettles. I found no tropical nodes, I got no nettles from any undergrowth nodes and no matter how many types of nodes I came across and used lore on I'm still none the wiser where the nutmeg is. If this were a work night I would be stranded a long way from my deed with no time to get home, no resources to say "well at least I got that" and having achieved nothing for the night. For resources that you cant get any other way you might need to consider giving them more node options or something, especially if you feel the need to remove game mechanics.
  10. I wasn't really thinking about grinding when I made my post, you usually grind when you have time to devote to the task. I can appreciate that, but I can also check a few tiles around my deed when i need to quickly find something currently vs traveling looking for nodes in the new system The most recent development update mentioned a focus on quality of life improvements, I'm only saying that I think removing the current system would be a step backwards in that regard and I'm not seeing a reason that would make it necessary.
  11. It would be nice if this feature could be used to enhance the current system rather than flat replacing it, we don't have to take things away to have new toys just as I don't have to set fire to my closet the next time I want to buy a new shirt. The nodes look cool and add flavour to game play but unless they are spawning on every tile it is taking away time which is often more valuable than money.
  12. Being unable to pvp because you have no horses is more stupid than breeding too many. I'm sure we have all had a proper giggle after raiding some capital and slaughtering all their horses but then really you just ended pvp until they can get back some kind of heard.
  13. The camp I found on harmony were tethered fine
  14. Was hoping for those docks we were teased with quite some time ago 😜 I'm not sure that I enjoy shipbuilding enough to make freely available knarrs though others could do it I suppose, however, I am far from finished with the project and could lend a hand if someone spots me in local.
  15. It has been added to the community map \o/ the big line down the bottom https://harmony.yaga.host/
  16. Have you ever wished that you could walk to another server? No? Neither have I, but I have often wished that I could ride my horse over because being at the mercy of the wind just sucks. Obviously we cant ride either because your horse wont cross servers outside of an animal cage but I can now announce the next best thing is possible. Bloody Long Bridge The bridge connects southern Harmony to northern Melody, you can ride to the server edges and park your horse on enchanted grass to wait in comfort for you while you visit the other side. The Harmony side is pretty deep so there is a small 5 tile swim and so long as you pass between the buoys you will teleport onto dry land. The Melody side is shallow enough that no swimming is required, just park your horse and drop off the edge of the server! If you do not have a horse available to you on the other side there are facilities to pick up a cheap throw away to service your needs. Both servers have deeds that can be found on the highway system, 'Through the Never' on Harmony and 'Edge of Forever' on Melody and Cadence has been fitted with a couple of sandbanks to help prevent people plotting course onto it. Harmony side crossing Melody side drop off Would like to give thanks to Snurps for helping with a fair bit of digging and materials, Cavemannn for some dirt and most of the logs, Josklin for helping some of the large dirt drop sessions and finally Bipolarbear for his donation of a few thousand dirt and logs so that he could receive credit. Some infrequently asked questions

  20. is that just the discord overlay because discord is down
  21. I can see that it would be nice to be able to put a limit on it but it still wouldn't fix the selective breeding issue, I really miss being able to take two horses with traits that i want to blend and essentially crafting my version of a perfect horse.
  22. I didnt push for overly high skill, my sample was taken with the right amount of skill for the type of horse I was looking for. There is simply just no selection beyond the dominant category and not even that one at times, the misc ones are totally random irrespective of the parents it can just seem related because there are only so many to randomly assign.
  23. The problem you are seeing is that there just isn't selective breeding like there used to be, what the parents have makes no difference beyond the dominant category https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QUXNsUGKn8mkL9ix-kafZ_KJZJOAzdLwqwMAf53hT84/edit#gid=1189716159
