I'll go for Willow saplings please! Ig=Moltenclaw

It's great to see someone do something different, I have a couple of questions, so what happens if you travel to an island server then log out, and then that server storm hits, you're basically not able to play for the rest of that month? Also, what is to stop someone using the plot course option, has this been disabled?

Done, thanks!

Hi all Thanks to @Substr and @Yaga the Exodus Community map had a major UI update today which is more streamlined now and will work much better with smaller screen sizes. The map legend can now be shown as a pop-up window when moving your mouse pointer over the question mark symbol in the upper right corner. Left-clicking that symbol will pin/unpin the map legend. Enjoy! https://exodus.yaga.host/

Hi @denullyboth updates made, thanks for reporting them!

I like the journal pathing, sounds like a good idea to me. In terms of the bringing the community closer to the Development piece, having worked in Software for well over 20 years, I can tell you it works both ways. You definately want community feedback to understand if your ideas will hit the spot, but you also have a direction that you as the business owner have in mind to take the game. Lets be honest, when new community ideas are posted on here there is almost always a split of opinion with some very much in favour of a certain feature and some dead against it, its not like the community will ever be in total agreement, so the Dev team then have to make sense of that dilemma also. What is also clear is that you have to balance all of that with the amount of Development and Test/QA cycles you have available to you as a business, whilst also providing a sensible mix of bug fixing and short term and long term features. Add to this the work that has been done to move us over to a new host and the fact that Java isn't exactly a modern language and then you start to see a more complex picture than perhaps is apparant to those who have not had the pleasure of working in a software business.

best of luck with this endeavour, looks great!

Hi, I enjoyed reading your heartfelt and honest appraisal of your Wurm journey. I can definitely recognise some of this in my own story. I feel I have too readily focused on skill gain at times, rather than enjoying the game for what it is. I wish you well as you continue to learn about your own playstyle discovering more about what works for you given your own personal circumstances.

I am a sucker for server launches, its always interesting to see how they differ and how they are set up. Best of luck with the relaunch, looks very much like a labour of love!

Hi @Steveleeb, the deed has been removed from the Exodus Community map, thanks for the update

Hi @Wilussall those changes made, including adding the Virtues Bridge label, thanks for the details

Happy to pop over and help after work today!

Exodus map dump updated accordingly

Huge thanks to @Yagathe Exodus map dump has been updated In order to make the new dumps visible, the browser cache may have to be cleared!

So the usual mix of "omg its so hard, please make it easier" and "omg you made it easier, the game is going to ruin" Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
