Recently leveled a Mag to 100 faith. Performed a ridiculous number of sermons to get there and much to my surprise, my PREACHING skill is only 7. What? I have reached 100 faith, so there is no reason to keep doing sermons. Shouldn't there be some usable preaching skill now? [09:13:42] Preaching increased by 0.0914 to 7.322 Look at the skill gain while still only level 7. Ridiculous. Do I want higher skill gain? Not really. What is Preaching used for? To help a new follower's starting faith be just a tad higher than zero? Pointless. Example: Follower starting faith is the priest's preaching skill/5, so in my case, I can get a follower to... 1. Hmm, let's see. So I just saved a new convert all of 20 minutes of praying cooldown timer? Can't really change the skill gain rate of preaching, because it would be unfair to all the folks like me that have run all the sermons they ever need, so only new priests would see preaching skills of any value. Even then, let's say you make skill gains massive and someone gets to 100 preaching. What value then? I can convert someone with a starting faith of 20, which can be reached in a week of just clicking "pray" a few times a day. No notable impact in the life of a priest or follower. So I say, just nuke that skill. Let the servers have a lighter load. snip out that code and toss it in the recycle bin. I certainly don't mean to get rid of doing sermons, just why have skill ticks on something nobody cares about, nor has a reason to care?

this continued instability is going to really devalue horses and their equipment. Just too easy to lose a horse. Had to round up 4 of them yesterday and 4 a couple weeks ago. I got lucky. Let's hope I get lucky today too. 4 more stray horses I expect...

as the title says

dragging 3 horses...

completely awesome.

From what I have heard, if you have animals hitched, they won't rollback to a random location it was in recently. I now always travel hitched when outside of my fences - this after having several horses wander off a couple weeks ago on another server crash. edit: and when done, leave them hitched for a day, before letting them lose in corral.

ty for the quick response

same here. I had accounts on pristine and release. All out and none can get in: Network error, failed to connect to the game server

looks good. If the performance is strictly for the client and you can disable it, there is no reason not to enable rendering. As for the mine vision, being able to see things through mine walls, I love this "feature". Without, it would make mining in an old forgotten area quite a chore.

Thank you for taking this on!

What exactly is a battery priest? Sorry for the noob question.

I like it. I would love to see highways with better accuracy than we see on the current community map (I'm Pristine) and would love to see a coordinate system where the cords are always listed below the mouse pointer, as you move it around the map. Would it be possible to capture the current map in a combined effort via individual clients? Some file we could all upload that would contain all our travels for the login period? Stich them all together to eventually make a complete, current and detailed map of the terrain? I have no idea, but would love a detailed map someday.

I just signed up for photobucket, uploaded a pic to them, then copied a link they make specifically for forum posting, pasted in my text box here and it worked great. Prior to that, I was having some trouble.

Dammit! I just peed my pants.

not any lag on Pristine yet. Loaded really fast this time

back in Pristine... 1st

use Wurmtools for server stats if you don't want to keep reloading your launcher. Just keep hitting refresh on the browser

Pristine took a few min to get past lag and just started working great for me, then boom, Crash to desktop

I see 17 on Serenity now... not my server, but this is so exciting!

Well, there are 13 of those switches around the globe, if you time it just right...

Unfinished boats that aren't on deeds, just laying around... send me cords please

mine won't update either

Well.. If the attack is at Wurm, it is most certainly his problem. Why do you think the ISP and Hosting company are shutting us down? Also, I've been in IT for 20 years, providing solutions to some of the largest businesses in the world. I might be just a small bit above noob level here. How many 100bil+ revenue companies have you consulted for, working directly with their CIOs? Maybe your comment was just a smidge personal. Just think about flippant remarks before you post?

Many hosting companies do not provide DDoS prevention and they also have a responsibility to their other clients, to protect them as best as possible, when one of their clients gets attacked. Also, smaller companies generally have much faster support than large ones. Most of the big players (AT&T, Rackspace, etc) have tons of hoops to jump through for any major issues or changes. One of my clients waited 2 months before AT&T would let them drop in a hardware appliance that did load balancing, app firewalling and DDoS prevention. So, there are pros and cons to moving up to the big players.

At 50 do you get the title "Margaret"?
