    Token is in the same place I founded!

  6. It's been 3 days. She is fat and old and well fed on grass. I know a few others are having this problem.
  7. It isn't a permanent ban, btw and like I said, I get why the ban happened I think it's dumb curbed lawns shouldn't be considered a road. It looks very much like a road, connects to two-lane bridges and all, and looks nicer I think. I'm not changing it though, so the ban is. I accept and move on.
  8. Glad I got the old place to you Cecci! Yea, all toons associated banned!
  9. Yeah. I'm not complaining on the ban. Like I said earlier, I understand it. I am just giving my account of things on a thread I was asked to make. I just wish I would have been quicker to pack, but work has been busy. That's not on you though. I didn't think a 20x30 paved area constituted a highway, but I also didn't look at the road rules before modifying. I'd certainly never block anything. I also don't remember agreeing several times to repave it. After the curbed lawn roads were rejected, I did begrudgingly agree to repave it, but in the end, just settled on the ban as I just couldn't ugly up an area we'd worked so hard to make nice, "There could have been a cave re-route as you speak of, if you had put in a request to modify the highway after you completed the original/re-route as you had agreed to" Had I'd known that I would have certainly done that, as I would have done anything to keep the lawn roads and the cobblestone off. Hindsight is quite meaningless though, so that doesn't really matter. I'm told the deed was disbanded. I am curious as to what happens to the upkeep money that was in it. Anyways, I am more disappointed in the waste of money and wasted "wasting time" time. Thank GOD for the Olympics!
  10. I think I should add some clarity to this post as I don't mean to appear that (1) Don't care about the ban and 2. think the ban was necessarily unwarranted. I stopped playing the game half a year ago, maybe longer, because I was just kind of bored with it. Seemed at the time that it just kind of ran it's course, but had had a fantastic run! Last month I came back because I missed a few people. After like 10 mins I was hooked again lol. I met an old friend in Indy and soon found a place where I could finally make the cool closest thing to a river that I'd always wanted to make! It was on what was probably an abandoned deed. The dirt had been leveled and likely shipped to another server. The area just looked ugly, used and abandoned like much of Indy looks. There was an area (the one in question) that was about 20x30 that was paved with cobblestone. I didn't really think of it as a road, but I guess the GMs disagreed. I quickly got to work unpaving the 20x30 area, and started teraforming the deed wanting to bring back a more natural look to the area. The deed was called Fo's Forge and I wanted to theme it in line with Fo's lore. The next day I awoke to a sign saying to contact the GMs. I did so and was told I had 24 hours to fix the road or be banned. I was super disappointed with this because I had just dropped $50 on my prems (I have a priest) and dropping the deed and just wanted to bring some life, pride, and little creativity to what was an ugly and abandoned area. Being busy with real work the GM (who was awesome btw) extended the period to 70 hours. My nearest playing neighbor is about a 5 minute sail away in good wind. I've never seen anyone in local..ever. I tracked and found that the nearest neighbor had been there and likely called the GM when he saw all the teraforming and taking out the cobblestone. I have no beef with this. It's totally understandable. As he is the only player that I have ever seen around, I asked him if he was cool with a curbed lawn road and he seemed cool with the idea. I had a day left to fix the roads (I had to go to my old deed on Xanadu to get the bridge building tools) so a friend came from Xanadu and we worked all day the make the 3 bridges and curbed lawn roads that connected the highways. The GM looked and likely wasn't sure what to make of it. They asked me to make a forums post, link it to the ticketand that's what where this post came from. A few days later, I was told that the curbed lawn wasn't going to be highway and that I would need make one in the perimeter to connect everything. I begrudgingly agreed, but the next day I just wasn't feeling it. We'd worked hard on the curbed lawn and bridges, it looked great and it was something different on a server where there are highways EVERYWHERE. The whole Fo theme was slipping away and I was seeing less and less of the point of deeding and fixing up the area or even playing the game. The whole allure of the game to me was that it was a sandbox. We'd worked hard making this ugly and abandoned area nice and it now seemed I would have been better off just leaving it abandoned. I suggested making a tunnel along the northern mountain in my perimeter and connecting that with the highway, but was told no and that I'd be banned I didn't surround the deed with pavement. I decided to just take the ban. I logged in Sunday (thinking I had until sunday) to grab my stuff so it wouldn't be looted, and saw I was banned. I still like the game. I would still like to play it, as I like the my friends here and the community on Indy, but I'm left feeling like I did 6 months ago.. just $50 poorer. I imagine the deed has been popped (or will soon due to upkeep) and all my stuff will be looted, so I don't really see myself coming back after that. I think GMs in WU have a little more flexibility in dealing with things like this....aaand it's free. That's my story!
  11. Eh. The ban is. Tried to log on today. I did offer to reroute the paved part of the road into a mine road to keep it off my deed, but that was a NO I guess. Would have been neat to do something different, but I understand it and it's fine I guess. WU still works.
  12. It lowers running speed a bit. Not on horseback or cart though. Poppy, yeah, it was just like 20x20 pavement before. Just an abandoned ugly area, Cecci, it's still passable. There are no walls on my deed!
  13. Eh, didn't work out. They insist on the highway being connected via paved roads and want me to remake it in the perimeter of the deed. Ugly. I thought it would be cool to do something different. I guess they are going to pop the deed, ban me and remake the road as is. It's cool. I guess WU is a little more sandboxy, so I'll just go there I guess.
  14. Hello Indy! A week ago I made some changes to the NW/SE roads around G10. I got in a bit of trouble from this from the GM team and was told to fix it or be banned. The deed is called Fo's Forge. In line Fo, I decided to make the newly deeded area a bit more inline with his lore. This meant me changing the road (parts of in paved with stone in 20x20 blocks) with a lawn road. Like I said, before it was just an old abandoned village with paved stone everywhere! Sadly, I don't have any pictures of what was there before, but the pavement DID connect. Here is what it looks like now. The GM's have asked me to get the ok from Indy on the forums to do this, and this is my post to do that. I'd honestly rather just take the ban and play on WU if it means paving it back with boring cobblestone. There is a highway every 30 tiles or so on this server! Thank you!
  15. I know Cecci is going to make that huge place absolutely lovely. Great pictures Jaz!
  16. Wurm 2016

    It's not the cost to play. People don't mind paying for a great game. Folks paid when the numbers were high. I just think most games have a finite life to them. I think wurm has had a GREAT run that in all likelihood has for the most part run it's course. The whole WU and division of the community likely hastening that.
  17. Bump for a good guy. Some great skills and even better body stats. Put a nice sword it this toons hands and get him to fighting!
  18. Plan for a Plan

    You probably need to advertise better and think out of the box with it. A lot of Americans for example haven't even heard of wurm.
  19. What sad news. I knew him more as Barakus and can attest that for his last year at any rate he most definitely kept his sense of humor. RIP buddy.
  20. Would love a way to get back to the old site, tbh. Was a lot easier to read and navigate.
  21. It would appear that the original poster was somehow dating someone in game (whatever that means) and that the fellow they were dating somehow..cheated on them with another female player (whatever THAT means). OP is wondering if somehow the staff can intervene with this type of cheating? This is how I am reading it anyway.
