Wargasm

Let me try to understand this correctly... Less than one month after the groundbreaking (and exciting!) introduction of large planter boxes, now is the best time to nerf favor gains from veggies by up to 60% AND trivialize the newfound ability to grow our own mushrooms? I demand a better explanation from the devs than "it's for the best". I also feel that the various conversations going on in this thread.... removal of player gods, nerfing chopped veggies, post-removal balancing discussion and third person camera.... need their own threads. Because posts like this one are going to get buried quickly.

Will the Steam PvE and PvP servers be connected to each other?

You know, that makes me think of something... Since HH hitched to hitching posts are blue (docile) I wonder if spirit templars set to kill aggressive creatures will ignore them?

Funny, I could have said the same thing about uniques, with regard to the built in anti-penning mechanics (destroying walls/fences, mining walls that are reinforced) and secret trickery to get uniques to walk in a cave to begin with.

Because then rifts would be privatized, like dragons are now.

Yes, there were writs for houses too.

Band-wagoning doesn't count as PvP experience. I'll also add that the somewhat recent PvP tenure of these two was when PvP saw the most [uneccessary] changes, and saw a larger decline in players (PvP) as a result.

+1 This is a nightmare for PvP boat captains, dredging and maneuvering in tight places.

Economy is irrelevant if you're playing by yourself. If that's what you're really going for, I recommend Wurm Unlimited. Then why don't you elaborate on your point? You were emphasizing that a thief can do one single thing and the adventurer does EVERYTHING else. It is phrased in such a way to suggest the thief is useless except for that one thing. But if you want to sit here and exchange insults instead, we can do that. I play 5 characters, and three of them can enchant. That doesn't mean they don't each perform other functions on a regular basis. Thank you for clarifying. Now if you're done correcting grammar and resorting to personal insults.... I'll quote from my own post above to get you to focus on the topic at hand...

So why do I have a brown boat with a black sail?

There are many good reasons that people have left the game. I don't count priesthood and the restrictions that come with it to be among them. I could also counter this ridiculous claim by pointing to the increased population decline after the "priest overhaul" that allows them to continue unfinished items and build houses etc. Seems to me that the numbers decline more sharply after priest restrictions were loosened. Yes, and I've watched you whine for changes like this through my entire Wurm career. First it was "Fo is gimp, Vyn has all the enchants." Then it was "Nahjo OP, only Fo should have LT!". You have since come up with some of the most asinine suggestions, some of which are laughable. False. "Simplified" and irrelevant. Your "thief" can only unlock doors. That would paint a picture of priests only being able to cast spells. Can't even farm, can't even saw planks, can't even chip bricks. In the imaginary world that you profess priests to (still) be in, you would have us believe that they live such a tortured existence, yet vigilant in their pursuit of independence.... yeah I can write stories too. You need to do better to convince us why a severely declined subscription base needs to be cut even further by allowing every player to be a priest. (From 5 to 2, in my personal situation) You are clearly prejudice thinking a character is "independent" for not being able to cast spells, but is not considered "independent" because they cannot improve tools/boats/etc.

Oh so you think we're agreeing on something? No, we're not. You think priests should be able to do everything. Including "casting" runes. I think, like 90% of other veteran wurmians, that one character being able to do EVERYTHING... is bad for the economy, bad for the game in general.

I could make the same argument for having a deed, owning a boat, or even simply having built my own house.

No, your issue, as it has been with every single suggestion you have made, is to in some way give more to priests because you feel they're gimped, not able to play the full game and somehow diminished by the rune system. Runes are a QoL thing. CoC is not. Next?

No rune is "proof" that the devs are turning away from priests. Runes consume limited resources, and require effort to obtain. Much more effort than walking to an altar, sacrificing 6-7 garlic and waiting 30 seconds on an unlimited basis. Oh and BTW, if you care for an animal, it never dies. No runes required, no priest required.

FTFY

So if someone has multiple premium toons, that's their prerogative. Well it's pretty hard to present an argument to someone who is constantly critical of any suggestion for improvement because "oh, it can be abused." You contribute to the conversation bringing up ways something can be abused, and I'm not knocking you for that. But we aren't having an "argument", so stop treating it as such. And how is this any different from current deeds disbanding to upkeep due to the owner's inactivity and negligence?

It makes me wonder if it is wrongfully checking only the corpse itself, or the items inside it (for example, 10 pieces of meat, couple eyeballs, etc) and you don't have 12 empty spots in your inventory.... not just the one.

Free deeds is almost better for the game at this point. If Joe's deed never goes away, it makes the servers look a lot more populated, like a new player would actually think about joining the community. It would seem like more than 10 people are playing on a given server.

It's QoL for things like horses.... but you should still have to tame a unicorn before you can lead ---> ride it. Same for crocodiles, scorpions, etc.

If you want to make money, go get a job... stop playing video games.

As much as I would LOVE to see this.... it aint going to happen. People will fire sale their accounts in fear of being left holding the bag.

One side costs silver to drop a deed, and another costs time. Different strokes for different folks.... Disintegrate is fine after the recent changes.

Xanadu - all gales, all the time. Retro keeps saying "no".... but I think it should be re-visited.

Thinking about it more, there must be some pointing reference somewhere that is broken.... otherwise, how does the launcher know her account name without me filling it in every time I install?
