Hakim

In the meantime I talked to Zalifear, Snoo and Foreverskyz and we came to an understanding on the matter. We are on very good terms now and together we agreed on a compromise to reforest a part of the desert around my deed and connecting the new forest to the cedar plantation to the west. Everything was starting to look up and I even got to like the idea of having a desert in my neighbourhood. Today I logged in and saw what Kordane did to our work so far. He childishly destroyed all our planted sprouts and poured sand on all dirt tiles that we planted in the last few days. I think this behaviour is highly destructive and not at all justified. I contacted a GM but since he didn't do anything against the rules it seems perfectly fine what he did. I'm pretty sure that any attempt to have an intelligent conversation with Kordane to come to a friendly understanding will probably be futile and I don't expect him to react in an appropriate way to this post. I'm sorry this thread got highjacked by these events. I'm really starting to think that coming back to Wurm was a mistake.

Update: Zalifear and I have talked in game and are discussing the matter. Thanks for the support guys I'll take it from here!

Hello. I am not a regular Wurm player but a passionate one and even after longer pauses of playing wurm I keep returning to the game. I like the creative aspect of the game and think that the open world sandbox character of this game is only going to be successful for all players if the actions of the players are based on respect and the regard for the needs and feelings of others. I just returned to my deed to see if everything was still standing and looking as beautiful and quiet as I have left it. A small bakery inside a large forest of beautiful birch, lemon and maple trees. The rural and forestry landscape directly beside a nice green moss field was the main reason I settled there. Being a considerate wurm player I asked all the neighbours (Monktonclown, Zalifear and others) if it would be ok to settle in this forest - I contacted them ingame and through a forum pm. Everyone was very polite and said it was ok to settle there. Now imagine one day you wake up and see your little deed surrounded by an ugly wasteland of gigantuan proportions (Yes the deed right on the left hand side of the picture near the middle of the 'UNCLAIMED land' is my deed): I was shocked to see such a destruction and inconsiderate behaviour on Deli. I expected more from Zalifear. Even a quick PM saying: I don't care what you think of my project I will destroy everything of the area around your deed you like so much because I like deserts. Then at least I would've been able to try to stop it or find a reasonable compromise. But I guess not being a power gamer and being a considerate person means nothing in this game or at least this area. Since I can't do nothing about it now I guess my weeks of work building my little patch of heaven was all for nothing. I know that this post probably won't achieve anything but at least I wanted Zalifear to know that this ruined my day and my motivation to come back to Wurm. Considering that we did have contact several times and I found him very polite and willing to help I am very disappointed in him now. Hakim... owner of 'Hakim's bakery. Now just an annoyance in the middle of a big patch of square sand. Thanks for reading. PS: At least I can keep paying the upkeep so that the bakery will be a little patch of beauty - sort of an oasis in this atrocity. And if that happens to annoy those responsible... all the better. Maybe I'll even plant a few trees, that would be nice! After all this land is unclaimed, isn't it?
