The small server is over run by fog spiders and there isn't much else there. How you are supposed to buy and pay for a deed with such a small critter population and poor bounty payoffs is beyond me. They also say you can earn silvers by trading and selling at token. To trade you need people. That rarely happens on the small server and the large server has five deeds total. Not much trading there especially for a noob. The big server does have a decent number of critters but deeds are expensive to start and expensive to pay for. Looks like the same you would pay for in WO. Not a noob friendly policy at all. I know, I tried it. If they would both boost the bounty on critters and make deed creation free it would go a long way towards attracting people and keeping them. As it is there are very few players at all.

You can't blame this on heavily modded servers. It also happens on servers that are lightly modded or not modded at all. There are problems and they are many that will probably never be fixed by CC because "it's not our fault, it's you". BTW, if a server is not used much some of this stuff never happens. That should tell you something.

Could you guys please increase the bounty on critters? A handful of irons just isn't worth it. Thanks. BTW, good server. Hope to see more folks playing on it with increased bounties.

The release of Wurm Unlimited. No griefers. No thieves. No worries. Well, except the fact that Rolf is a horrible programmer.

The title says it all. Why we should not be able to is not evident. Would be nice to be able to move them when things change instead of destroy and make another.

I was told that Rolf makes things difficult so the game will be fun. That leads me to believe Rolf has fun by hitting his thumb with a hammer over and over and over again. Stupid things like this is also why so many will never come back to WO.

This is not a reason to take fun away from playing the game. If you are worried about deed size simply limit the size people can make a deed. You have the tools for it. Do that instead of forcing people to do work they might not want to. I will never understand this.

Perhaps a public forge in the public mine would be helpful.

Great concept, wonderful map. High skill gain and action timer will make for a relatively short game. What about deeding and upkeep. Zero is always good imo.

Ya know these servers would be a lot more fun if people stopped making people pay upkeep. If you are worried about running out of space, something none of you will ever come close to, just limit deed size and if they exceed that size charge upkeep for those. Upkeep equals drudgery to pay for it equals no fun.

Yeah cuz the vast majority of people play pvp. LMAO. This is a long needed fix. Thanks. Get all me news from forum.

Ah, more stuff to create more work through maintenance. Less effort to make this thing a JOB and more work to make the game FUN.

How big is the server? 2048x2048 or bigger? Creature count and a look at the map would be nice too. Thanks. BTW, how big is one grid? It's different size for different map sizes.

Once again I see people saying mining isn't bad "once you get the skill up". It's the 'once you' that is the part that has to be dealt with. I'm on a WU server that has everything set as low as possible to emulate the Online version. And still, while my character was noobish, mining is the most difficult chore to have to face. I've tried these games where one or two whacks and you're done. I've done instant mining on WU. Either of those are not good ways to do it. Mining should take time. I don't know what the answer is but it is one of the most, dunno i guess painful things in Wurm. Everyone in this thread has already been through it and they are still here so they were ok with putting up with it. These are not the people who need to be addressed obviously because they are here. It's the ones who did not put up with some of the work like aspects of Wurm who need to be thought about. Also, someone someplace or places said the tut needs to be reworked and that is very true. Force people to go through it and to heck with the people who whine because their alt has to go through the whole thing again. Show noobs the tools they need to make. That they need a pelt and what animals are easiest for them to take down for that pelt. A file for imping. A whetstone. A mallet. Show them what they need that first week. That they can use a cow for milk so they can move away from water. And make them prospect and mine before leaving the tutorial so they know how to go about it. So yeah, better tutorial would help.

And this attitude towards the game is part of the problem also. "If I had to suffer then everyone for all time has to suffer". Yeah, that will sure attract people. Mining has been the same for 8 years and for 8 years it has been sheety. I don't care what you did, when you did it, how you did it, why you did it or who you did it with. I'm talking about noobs which you are plainly NOT. Rolf is trying to get new people into WO and keep them for more than a day. Some current things make that difficult at best. At the same time you have to be careful not to change things too far because the game will lose it's 'flavor'.

I've seen noob after noob having a great time playing Wurm Online and Wurm Unlimited. And then they have to mine. They are never seen again. It is so slow it hurts for a noob to do. Yeah I know, all you old guys don't give a crap and it's not really that bed blah blah blah. It is that bad for new people. It's also one of the things you HAVE to do, like it or not. So they quit.

Is this still active? Can't find it on the launcher list.

This is a good one.

Sounds like a fun server. Too bad you have deed cost and upkeep.

This is not a 24/7 server. With no notice it will go down and not come back up for several hours. Not reliable.

Why do people open servers and demand players pay for deeds and pay for upkeep? If they wanted to do that they would just play WO. I hear some people say, "it's for the economy". Really? You can't have an economy with five people. WU is not WO. Just drop the money for deeds and let people have fun instead of working to pay for a deed. It's all about fun.

Dude, if people wanted to pay upkeep and pay for deeds they would just play WO. Seriously, the servers that do this need to stop and they might get more traffic. Just my opinion.

lmao, and people wonder why it's hard to retain people. With this attitude why stay?

WURM Unlimited.

Looks like a lot of people want an easy button so they can kill everything without dying, a super drop button so great loot is dropped and a 'I'm stupid' button so their stupid mistakes don't cost them. So I guess the best balance would be an 'Easy/GoodDrop/I'mStupid button all wrapped up into one because looks like most don't really care about balance.
