Personally I go slackware with e16 for wm which works pretty much seamlessly with the wurm right click menus for both game and OS. you can probably use any version of enlightenment on any linux though if that is the only part you care about. I run slack because slack is and always will be the best core philosophy distro, wurm just happens to run there with no issues because its a *nix.

Samool, I know I have been, at least at times, a harsh critic of some of the changes under your reign, but please know I have always respected and appreciated you, your professionalism, and your dedication to the game through all the hardships that come with the job. Kudos. I wish you nothing but the best in your health, happiness, and general good fortunes. I hope you'll always be able to love and enjoy Wurm. Be well. Keenan, Wurm is waiting...

What if like I mentioned in the other post it was boat link of Epic and Defiance. Seems like no safe carebear loot allowed and more people to play with, or would that also spoil things?

Board of Skilling (or Grinding)

Well I haven't died while meditating recently, so pretty good. Yourself?

Good point, but on further consideration, why not? Whats the harm of sharing a gold pool? Its not like it would introduce skill or item leaks into their respective "economies" to dilute or contend. If people wanted to trade coin between the clusters that way does it impose harm to the players on either side? The game company? It isn't like you cant trade SFI coin for NFI coin now you just have to go through a player with a presence on both sides instead of somehow conducting an exchange in an alternate dimension full of angry players with sticks and swords who want to rob you while you try.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but for the effort this would entail wouldn't it be better to just revamp the chatsystem entirely and allow arbitrary groups of people to form/join as many publicly-listed/private channels as they want without worrying about village, alliance, or even server/cluster?

Thoughts on what it woudl be like if Defiance and Epic were linked for boat travel?

you have wooden bins in scotland?

Let's find out. ARCH CAN YOU HEAR ME?

This should be extended by allowing a player to build out their deed in deedplanner then upload it to the token and with all the materials are in BSBs on deed the entire village should build itself as long as the player is logged in on the server ...

I note that the conversation seems to keep coming back to what do freedomers bring BACK from going to epic. I'd have thought the question would more often spin off into what can we give players from freedom when they go to epic to encourage them to try it out. Its another world through a magical door where you can live and play without consequences or losses in the "real" world. This already does interest people. Then they arrive iun a new world with no goods, no tools, no friends, and no home, get bored/overwhelmed, and unless they're trying to complete personal goals and "Win the game" or are jsut trying to bank sleep bonus without having to find a bed... theyre gone again back to freedom to talk smack about how dead and pointless Epic is to help ensure it stays that way. So I ask rather than how can we exploit Epic for the betterment of Freedom characters, how can we make Epic more accessible and enjoyable for people who want to step away from the grind and the chores so they can go enjoy an afternoon of fantasy and fun and bring back stories to encourage others to do the same? (and without losing their prized fantastic purple dragon scale armor they like to flex in while fighting wildcats and hellhounds)

I'm inclined to suggest titles that mock the small and insignificant nature of the protection and yet how it doesnt matter becasue you can now effectively tank a dragon with a woodscrap... Look Ma I can block with ANYTHING Driftwood Defender A Peel Man (peel being the wooden pizza scoop) Cutting Board Master Little Shield Big Man Woodscrap Warrior

If I have to watch the launcher validating all these graphics files every time it updates they might as well be used for something +1 to fancy woods!

Thats reasonable... So what if every time you meditate theres a 1/100 chance it summons Enki to your location whereupon you must defeat him in a battle of checkers else you will be attacked by 100 rabid gerbils?

Sometimes its better to lose than have to join a bad team.

Hahahhaha nice. I like how many rift mobs are in yours. I'm missing out on content it seems =p

So when you cross a server and your boat goes without you does the rowboat go or stay? What if you and your boat cross but your rowboat doesnt and you don't notice for a while? This would get especially messy with the tow one boat behind the other idea. This isn't to say I'm not for it, I've suggested the same thing on more than a few occasions in the past, but I'm not sure how viable it is to add more complications around boats until we can actually stay on board them while turning or traveling.

If I didnt think the crafting window was awful and should be removed I would be 100% behind this suggestion. -1 (I dare you devs to do it!!!!)

pls remove wagoneers and highways, thanks

Just go spend 5 years practicing your java skills and writing WU mods so you can apply for the dev team and then ask for a trident skin for your christmas gift.

Now I think I may be confusing some things at this point (conflating some bits of Challenge with bits of Epic) but back when it was all just words and ideas, I remember having the impression that Epic was going to revive the old concept of home servers and revitalize PvP because people had been deserting Wild and focusing on Freedom. What had most interested me was how there were supposed to be periodic wipes of the cluster so that people would have opportunities to get in on the next restart at equal footing. The hihg spped skilling and the shorter lived world were an appealing alternative to help supplement the grind and the projects at home on Freedom. It was also far more appealing than jumping into a PvP situation with 500year old immortal accounts with 888skill in every characteristic. I was pretty excited to join, so was my mayor/friend. We missed the start by about a month due to poor timing of the launch with RL stuff, but we had planned to go jump in after the first reset. Of course then there wasn't one (until they redid the one map 50 years later) so we never did. The repeating, predictable, scheduled resetting to provide continuous opportunity to join in on equal footing was the one thing I had really wanted to get out of it. Granted this doesnt solve the issue of what to do with all the years of effort invested by people since the idea of doing the resets was dropped, but it was the only thing about Epic that ever encouraged me to go there vs Chaos or just staying on my deed. </0.02>

You forgot to remove the timestamps and deduplicate the messages: grep -h guard\> players/*/logs/_Local.20* |awk '{$1="";print $0}' |sort -u
