Boom +1

If it were about creature counts... letting us bring horses cross-server would actually help. Hell I'd pay a chunk of copper to "generate a writ" for my 16 horses (8x pure-blood 5-speed horses refined from over 100 at a time) in order to bring them across. Without cross-server horse transfer, I'll start a new bloodline on Xanadu, sure, but I'll be having over 100 horses again at some point. +1 to animal carriers. +1 to some midpoint between small sailboats and corbitas too, like a 3-crate boat (large cart size) and a 9-12 crate one, aka sea wagon.

Some of us can probably still handle trolls ok........ but might wanna fix them back to normal before deeds start disbanding and looking for other MMO's.

Paving clay with something like slate sounds pretty good, and have it revert back to clay when unpaved... honestly if it goes back to clay, any old pavement would do and still be quite "ungriefable" ... would be silly to pave over a set of clay tiles you know ppl use as public clay, and not leave something diggable right next to it.

Looks decent from what I've seen, specially where I settled. Small patches decently scattered ..... granted, doubt I've seen more than 5% of Xanadu's coastline which in itself is A LOT =P

Weird, so for you it's everywhere BUT Xanadu? As in exact opposite of me?

As titles says, and if they reocurr, not a bad place methinks. Kind of a fix repository. My +2 1.5 to the devs for today... Release seems stable so far. MY BOAT ISN'T SHAKING ANYMORE <3 (that one was spooky, was waiting for reality to tear and blow up my boat and myself any second, apart from the eye pain) Edit: Moored a sec to fish and tame a bearshark for transport, when i raised anchor again, started shaking again. Had worked smooth at first when coming in from Release. Relogged with boat anchored, and boat unanchored and me disembarked, didn't fix it. Shake itself is now only myself, not the whole boat. Boat still does stutter but way way less. More data: Supreme Rowboat, really hoping rarity isn't at fault here or I may cry salty pirate tears. At least the initial success when sailing in from Release (where it doesn't happen, or Pristine) means devs are apparently on the right track.

Still laughing (I don't hate SPAIN, for all you confused onlookers.. it's a football thing, i really hate Spain)

While I do agree that a 2-hour sail is really "nothing to cry about", and also agree that "light breeze" should be done away with (don't think I've ever encountered such a thing as a "light breeze" on a large enough body of water.. I know it happens but generally speaking it's more of a climate fluke).............................. Is this kind of hostility necessary? Kuwani said the same thing without resorting to childish attacks. Btw OP... don't think Rauthr was being hostile.... a tad undiplomatic if anything ;-P

Let me get you some gems, this from ONE thread. ***** Actual quotes ***** Who even are you? You think you have a right to criticise, go and do better, please. no name noob who doesn't know how to make a well minded topic on the forums Yah, don't bother. You'll be even less important then than you are now. Waa Waa Waa ....i don't like the game so change it or i'll stamp my feet and leave LMFAO !!!! If i dislike a game i LEAVE and don't come back .....and your STILL here.....i don't get it. I mean WHY post here if your leaving .....just leave ....do you think your going to get any sugar by posting this here ? No one really cares if you're leaving... just saying. This tells me your still living in your mothers basements since you are replying back to every comment instead of i donno, Quiting wurm as you put you was. So if ya hate wurm soo much, go make ur own game, till then, you are a nobody, i never heard of ya or seen you before anywhere ingame ever.. ***** So I'm the troll now, fine by me. Anyone can mock and belittle like a 5-year old. Trolling is an art ***** Wonder if my trolling inspires more people to put a few miles between themselves and this community, or those responsible for the kind of quote above. Just saying....................... Edit: Gonna get a headstart on the many variations of the question "What's it to you if we troll people who're quitting or not?" Between Release crashing and some bugs on Xanadu I didn't even know existed until after crossing the border... kinda have one foot out the door. Holding off a few days to see what fixes are mentioned by game staff, trying to be patient all in all. But reading the toxicity in the community and how that kind of nastiness is apparently tolerated despite breaking a few forums' rules, suddenly paying for my sub and a 10s+ a month deed is WAY less appealing. Granted, my 40ish euro a month is not what'll make or sink Wurm, but ask yourselves when dumping all your ... whatever is the cause of your foul disposition.... how many Euros have you cost Wurm you claim to adore over the years?

Guess it's a good thing I sold my Release deed AND didn't deed on Xanadu. Kinda bummed because of all the plans I'd made for a new deed, AND seen some good spots... but the jitter on my ships combined with the Release crashes, I'd be squirming with buyer's remorse. January, I'd have deeded that 80x60 and gladly coughed up 10s a month for it. Now....... "Enclosures gone, expand your deeds! Good bo.... did you fire templars and wind up paying less per month? XANADU.. there you go.. good boy... no wait not yet, and we ain't saying when.. ok NOW!!! Doesn't work too well but wth eh, where da money".

Maybe Xanadu's hosted in Brazil?

+1,000,000 WAY better than "teleport at server borders"

Sailed around Pristine, Release, and Xanadu, tried a few different graphics' settings. On P&R, no problem. On Xanadu, however, boats (rowing boat and knarr) shake when moving. Same goes when riding animals. No problem if stationary (moored, or mounted and not moving), but second you move, the jitter starts. Also noticed that when leading animals, they slowly go shifting from one's 6' o clock to one's 3 o' clock, making it tricky to figure out their real position if re-embarking and re-leading them before they wander.

If it's about anti-penning... Have uniques try to reach an arbitrary number of tiles away when moving. If it can path there, no need to bash. If it can't path there (meaning blocked off from all 4 sides), bash until free. Shouldn't, +in theory+, be too tricky, given how mobs will chase one around a fence if there's the opening nearby enough. Bit of if/then/else too.... basically so they smash trying to get AWAY from a deed, and only move onto deeds if there's no barrier in between (in other words, not try to smash their way IN to a deed, only OUT of it IF there's no viable way out). I do kinda pity the dev who'll have to write up that algorithm, but hey, can't be worse than trying to code the 3D in bridges =P

Closing Xanadu, not exactly the solution... But Xan connected and Release has crashed at least 4 times (if you try to relog, "you're still moving, connection denied"). If you log another character that was online at the moment, you end up for a while on flat dirt right below water level unable to move. On Xan itself, I've asked Windows, Mac, and myself the Linux user... ships and mounts get a weird jitter when moving. Also, if leading animals, they slowly go from your 6 o' clock all the way to your 3 o' clock. When we were asking for some form of update regarding Xanadu, "it's still glitching" would have counted as an answer. Rageconnecting (it's just my personal guess, i'm not stating it was a rageconnection, just the impression I get) doesn't seem to be working too well. Found a nice 60x80 island, opened Wurm store to buy the silver, alt-tabbed a sec to deal with a bearshark i heard attacking me, saw the shaky boat........... ended up hitting Cancel.

Gratz, Baron =D ------------------------------------------- Why is Release crashing and burning since Xan launched? -.-

*pats self on back for wisely mistrusting ... well.. the whole thing.. and not deeding yet on Xan*

Maybe the orange text will be discussed sometime next week..........

+1 OP shouldn't be dealing with this, much less paying for it. I'll even go as far as to suggest the week's upkeep for that deed he planted, be it a 1s a month deed or a 20s a month deed, that 1/4 should appear in his bank in form of silver. I wouldn't suggest this last bit, but the guy doesn't know and won't know until "sometime later this week" if/when a horde of 70+FS players could come sort the issue, and then that leaves the uncertainty factor of whether that unique will respawn someplace different, as intended, or will just keep respawning ad infinitum on his deed.

I've said to people and people have said to me, regarding this and many other games... "When it becomes a source of stress, take a break. You'll know if and when to come back to <x> game" As PR-Marketing guy, I'd worry if something as potentially awesome as Xanadu was starting to generate responses like "I'm gonna let my subscription run out", or in my case... I'm gonna drop everything if this aura of uncertainty permeating the whole thing continues much longer. Gonna pack as much as possible on my alt, cart, wagon, 2 rowboats, and knarr, plant a 1s a month deed in some otherwise unusable corner, leave 4 months of upkeep, and just fuhgeddabaddit for a few weeks. Would be sad... for a few days until the force of habit wears off. On that note, gonna do some IRL recreational activities, bbl.. not in that much of a Wurm mood atm. Would rather be raging about the soft breeze hitting my boat straight from the direction I'm trying to head in on Xan.. justsaying.com

Everything on a video game is a waste of time. As for "dumb example" and "be careful what you're saying", your tone only states what I was saying earlier... lazy kid who wants instant gratification. In fact let's extend your "semi-afk" logic to imping... CVCV wait... CVCV wait... I'd like an NPC that refreshes the queue for me. All that time spent making a mallet better is stupid, it's a piece of wood connected to another, they should all be Q80 off the bat. Semi-afk sailing for hours is a "trade" in Wurm too, hence hauling fees. Hell, been looking at the Xan map plotting shipping routes, maybe grab a few like-minded people and run the sea lanes hauling cargo back and forth for a modical fee. I do agree that "light breeze" could be done away with altogether, that said, but if that happens some still won't be happy and will want airships like on Final Fantasy.

I'm still winning

"This fixes a lot of issues, including teleportation like issues which exist in the current travel system once Xanadu is connected up. Are you on the NE point of Independence and do you need to get to the south coast of that server? Why sail south for an hour or two when you can get there within a minute or two, no matter the wind. " Any "checkbox", "drop down list", "sing to the border fairy", or such, that takes you several km away from where you were is a TE-LE-PORT. Why have Xanadu in the first place then? What we'd need is a bunch of 1km x 1km mini servers all on a 12x12 grid to ALSO accomodate those that live in the middle of their current server. After all, why would anyone live anywhere BUT the server borders, much less set up a market there. If you guys get cross-server teleport magic boxes of "game is too much effort!" (wonder how you do at your jobs.. just sayin'), I want a portal on every square of the server's maps which will allow me to enter it and pick any of the other portals. I also want Pegasus that requires no more than 30 taming and 25 Body Control so I don't have to WALK to said portals.
