Just back as of yesterday from a long hiatus. The first thing I noticed (other than of course my deed being looted down to the bone) was that the remaining wooden items looked... odd. Prior to said hiatus, all the unique wood colors had pretty much been stripped. I don't suppose it's possible to just go back to that originalawesome unique wood system and skip the rest of this?

I managed to clean the file and it came back 1 kb smaller than the previous file. And now it no longer works. Boots fine, goes to connect and just vanishes.

Java.Trojan.GenericGB.20072 was detected in my client.jar file. Is this a known 'False Positive', or could it actually be infected? I tried cleaning the file after backing it up, and the antivirus program just deleted it outright.

Wow! I haven't been this excited for an update since.... I don't know when. The walls look absolutely AMAZING! I can't wait to build a round stone cottage! The new pavement types are also highly anticipated. Question: Will this be coming to WU at the same time/soon after it's launched to WO? P.S. Thank You, Warlander, for all your work on Deedplanner. Seeing these new walls and pavements in Deedplanner will be absolutely wonderful.

So, if ye have 45 favor, and the cheapest spell is 10 per whack, you get 4 spells off then have to wait forever do to this again? This can't be the best way. And the skill gain is minuscule.

Ok, fellow WU'ers, I have a question for ya. My channeling is sitting at 20.051. The 20 part was gotten by using Vessel on some 1ql gems until my skill raised. the .051 part, was achieved by casting Opulence quite a few times, but this is severely limited by the fact that it's 10 favor per whack to cast. So the question here is, what's a good way to level channeling past 20? Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Ok, if this was changed due to a bug, if I log OUT, at say, the 5th floor of a building, and then it logs me back in on the first floor, do I take any damage seeing as how I've just zipped 5 levels down, or does it effectlvely just 'teleport' me to the bottom floor? Thanks for all the responses, I really appreciate it!

Hey there folks. Is this a known issue in WU/WO, where when you go to sleep on the second story, it pushes you through the floor to the first story when you log in? I've moved by bed away from the wall and tried it and it still pushed me through the floor upon login. Is this a 'bug', or is this just 'how it is?' I'm concerned as I'd planned to put some beds on the third story of my building and don't want to log in just for it to crunch and kill me from a 3 story drop. Thanks in advance!

Logging in to see this today has been amazing. Thank you all for your votes. I haven't made it yet, as I need the bacon and the eggs, but looking forward to doing so later today!

That hellhorse model looks amazing. Can't wait to see it in game. Looks like I've got some fishing to do. Thanks Mordraug!

In WU there are plenty of smaller servers. Without the mod to allow priests to be both crafters and priests, the communities would be utterly screwed. There's simply not enough players to justify limiting them or penalizing them in the way WO does. Even if you allowed people to do that in WO, not everyone would. And even if they did, what would be the main effect? Probably a certain small number of people who have almost a complete monopoly on crafting due to the ancient toons that have traded hands a dozen times, would slowly start to come to an end and *gasp* new players could start to get a foothold in the enchanted items market. It'll likely not happen, even at 2x Premium cost, but methinks the aversion to this is more about people 'maintaining' the monopoly. Otherwise, who would care if someone else's toon was a priest AND a crafter or not?

My thanks to everyone for their votes. I am extremely humbled and gratified. It made my day yesterday to see that my recipe was selected to be in the top 10! I chose maple bacon pancakes, because I thought there was a lack of use for maple syrup, and I do so love tapping the trees in Wurm every maple season. It's one of my favorite 'gathering' activities to do. Thus, the idea for Maple Bacon Pancakes was born! Thank you all, and may the best Pancakes...err, recipe, win!

I've been on this server for a little over a week now. Hand's down, it's the friendliest bunch of people I've ever met in Wurm. Come check it out, if you are looking for a nice, laid back group of people to play with. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks I just backed up the entire server folder manually. If it borks, I'll restore from there.

How does one back up the server data, such as characters, world map, etc in WU? I hadn't played my game for a while, logged back in after a few patches and my character and world were just... gone... and had to start over from scratch. I don't want that to happen again with the upcoming patch Monday.

Like for example, when I mine, mining will go up, but not Body Strength, etc. I've tried it both normal wurm speed, and faster speed to see if that makes a difference, and it doesn't seem to have any effect one way or the other. Am I missing something here?

Ok, maybe I'm just derping, but I can't find where or how to create a wand, or any other item for that matter. Made my toon level 5 gm, so that part is good to go. Now just how to create wands and items?

Excellent, thank ye! Also, I think the critters are a bit harsh around the starting area. I had two venerable bears, a sly wolf, a hellhound, just around the little starting town area. No way a noob would survive that. And no guard towers. That, and the starting town's templars are useless, as the edge of the deed to perim border is gated, thus, the monsters will never step on deed, and thus never be targeted. They just sit there and watch you get wasted. That needs rethought a bit, methinks. Move the town edge a bit further out from the walls and give the poor players a chance to live.

The real question, is if there's no pvp how is anything non-monster hostile to me?

I didn't set it up with kingdoms... Maybe it's because I selected 'Adventure' mode. Is 'Creative' building only, or does it have other options, monsters, etc?

Hostile NPCs that talk crap in local? Are you kidding me?

Ok, so I start up a new private server, passworded, max two players. Fire it up... and there are 3 other people in the world. I was like... whaa? So I did it again. Same thing. Made sure to log on to lan, even changed the name and changed the PW. click lan on the new server, login, put in the password, and there are several other real players logged in talking in 'local', and one of whom is threatening to kill me, even though I checked no pvp in the game. What's going on? Oh, and wild boars seem to be hostile in WU now. Don't remember that from Wurm Online.

Awesome list, Jberg. Thanks for that!
