I agree wholeheartedly. The crafting is the main point in wurm, however the entire crafting system is in an alpha state at best and it has been in that state without any change for so long that the players even accepted it as Wlogic and tell new players, "thats the way wurm is (or even is supposed to be, deal with it."

I think the only valid solutions are either complete seperation, or complete connection between freedom and wild. A wishy washy solution like that intermediate water server will only cause too much problems and complains. Like illustrated above. Complete seperation would be having different inventories and different Kingdom afflictions between the servers, So that players can both be member of Freedom and one of the Others. the skillset between Freedom and Wild would still be the same though. That would be the status quo. Make the Wild portal buildable like the epic portal though. So you can have those weekend PvP-lers without disrupting the balance between the servers. And now for a completely new idea: Complete connection. This would mean that the intermediate server is a full server with an actual landmass. Freedom Kingdom would be a valid Kingdom alongside the other Kingdoms. Regular conversion rules apply. Freedom laws would apply within Freedom influence. Other Kingdoms would either be KoS or would have to abide by Freedom law, same goes vise versa, War is possible (severly limited or impossible on actual freedom isles). One Freedom law could be no or limited use of Libilla related items and skills, enforced where guards are present. Thism (with some modifications probabyl) would serve several purposes: It gives the option to transfer. (Though restricting it) It limits the flood of items mostly to an innitial transfer and fair trade. (except maybe for alt abuse) It severly limits the spread of Libilla to the Freedom isles. (without completely obstructing it. Tolerance anyone?) It would keep the save heaven of freedom isles. It would give the weekend pvp-lers a place to act. It would limit the raids out of the save heaven. (need to reach and raid the Wild core server and get back) Pirate nests and the like would mostly be on the intermediate server, not on Independece itself. (also don't string up the servers on a long line, either relocate exodus to the east of independece, or put wild west of deliverance, or something, or better even: put exodus to the east and put wild south of exodus and east of deliverance) One thing that is a problem with all solutions (my two and the water server) is the actual revival of the wild server. One of the biggest points I see here is that EPIC was supposed to be a quick scenario that should be over after a few month (If I understood it right). However a lot of Players aren't aware of that. And those that are aware don't know what happens once the scenario is over. (will there be another scenario on the same servers will there be a reset, will their char be saved etc.) So I believe a lot of people left Wild for good, because they were not aware they might need a place to return to once Epic is over. (if it is gooing to be over, I think it should) What I would advice here is that you should emphasise Wild as sort of longtime kingdom warefare and also include the custom kingdoms. All the actions and the end results of the Epic scenarios would then influence the Wild kingdoms.

I think one of the biggest problems Wurm faces in marketing is that is so incredibly complex and complicated, especially for beginners. Plus you need quite an effort to get anything done. While that makes for a very good game it's usually not very popular. A majority of customers seem to be kinda dumb and/or impatient. I Don't really want to hack in old wound (not sure if there are any) but Minecraft used to be a pure sandbox game with a bit of PvE for quite a while. But it is incredibly popular, because it is really simple.

One nice thing would be to not to have to dye everything in one uniform color. For the other ideas I give full support. (;

Need a Tool set: Hatchet woa, Shovel woa, Hammer or Mallet woa, Saw woa coc, Carving Knife woa coc, Pickaxe woa coc, Everything ql 40 with enchantments 60. (note: I'm a newb, and this is more about getting things done then efficient skill gain. A few points don't matter, if you have stock. Just watch the price) Destination: Deliverance 31x 7y Sunshine Docks, Kledun (note the letter switch) time doesn't matter much (I'm GMT +1 though), just notify me in advance. CoD if you must.

I got the stuck weight in inventory today again. Logging out and in fixed it again.

I can confirm this issue still persists. I had an Anaconda chase me onto our deed and it was ignored by the guard. I pulled it onto another deed which ignored it as well. Both guards would normally attack anything else.

I got problems as well. OpenAL produces no sound whatsoever. Software Sound on the other hand is perfect, but got a massive memory leak. After about one hour the game becomes unresposive.
