  1. +1 for moving animals across water, though I think the "livestock crate" suggestion floated in the replies to this thread would be better, allowing any ship large enough to carry the crates to use them. Another thing that bears pointing out (yet again) is that the devs really ought to check their facts when deciding whether a particular animal can swim or not. Most of the things that can't in wurm, can in RL. For example cows and sheep can swim very well, for long distances; an ability that is utilized by farmers to move them to new grazing land to this day - back and forth from small coastal islands, and across flood plains. Won't go into that too much as there are several threads about this already!
  2. I would still play. I googled and googled and couldn't find any other Wurm Onlines!
  3. please close

    ah, I was not aware of that either. Sorry about that. Auction has ended in any case, please close
  4. please close

    bump, less than 24 hours now
  5. Smoked Giant Spider meat, anyone?
  6. +1 lovely idea. Anything to make the usage of ships less painful!
  7. as per title. Can make the trade at any starter town on Xanadu, preference to buyers wishing to buy them all! pm on forum or ingame (by the same name) if interested
  8. I agree, I just thought I'd throw that perspective out there
  9. Neither are giant scorpions or beetles the size of a small child, but there they are
  10. Agreed. Scopey creepy, aren't we sneaky! I think this thread drifted out of constructiveness somewhere in the first two pages.
  11. oh well, can't hurt to give it a friendly bump every now and then The squeaky wheel and all that... Better to keep it in one thread too, so we don't get too much litter on the board
  12. While I don't have much desire to play Wurm in 3rd person, I think it would be nice to have *some* kind of 3rd person option for people that have trouble with 1st person perspective. I personally know a fair few people who find it very difficult to play games in first person due to issues with vertigo, nausea etc. Some who are unable to play at all without 3pp. While it isn't a common problem, there are people who would have a much more comfortable experience playing in 3rd person. Whether it can be done in such a way that does not disrupt the game too much I don't know. A fairly 'zoomed-in' 3rd person or over-the-shoulder view sound like a fair compromise, to avoid peeking. "~1" if that's a thing?
  13. It's a very interesting idea, but a -1 from me. This system just sounds far too exploitable for my liking. Basing such powerful decisions on player testimonies would open the door for collusion and frame-jobs. Aside from that, it would be extremely difficult to gather other necessary evidence without GM powers, and I do not believe that sanctions should be imposed on players simply based on hearsay. This would not offer enough protection to players against malicious and prejudiced use of the system. To make it anywhere near feasible GM, oversight would be necessary for every decision made by the council, which would in turn add to the GM workload. In any case, it would be so easily circumnavigated by use of alts that it would prove pretty futile as a barrier or deterrent to griefers and thieves.
  14. +1 light source OR guard managed - either would be far better than the mechanics as they stand
  15. +1 Hickory is one of the best firewood trees out there too. Increased burn time?
  16. +1, my white-dotted flowers thank you!
  17. Oh boy, am I glad I saw this post. I had no idea this was already implemented, thank you!
  18. +1 to this from me, but my repetitive strain injuries say -1, they love extra clicking

  22. o.o that maul is a thing of beauty - Belated happy birthday Rolf!
  23. +1, I always appreciate more options to agonize over when I'm planning a construction project
