  1. Economic statement for Gratsalot. Kings coffers: 45 silver, 47 copper and 1 iron (454701 irons). Total money at traders: 13 silver, 11 copper and 5 iron. Trader - 12s, 97c, 99i. Ratio=1.4317966 Trader - 13c, 6i. Ratio=8.4940717E-4 These numbers have not changed in a week's time.
  2. Seems this is still being a problem. Any word on this from a Dev?
  3. Would be nice to get some feedback on what Sklo put here.
  4. Come on Sme, you've been HoTS before. Healing on mycelium while out hunting? Joke. Never knew anyone in HoTS that would go out hunting without cotton. Zombies with half the CR? Joke. Once the age of 70 archery came about, that ended zombie trolls. Mycelium for food? Joke. Once you take half an hour of SB and get 30 HFC, who gives a damn about nutrition. Facts are facts. The one thing that made Libila attractive was what made all four faiths attractive...their individual uniqueness. That all went away with the introduction of player deities. Meta gaming has always been the Achilles heal of Wurm, and player made deities just completed the cycle. I know I've advocated complete wipes and restarts of whole servers before and looked extreme saying that. However, I honestly don't know what would bring back old players at this point short of exactly that.
  5. 0/10 Trolling not your forte' I can see the powers that be have stolen some stupid pills from Rolf's stash before he left. If anyone like me is thinking of trying to come back to this game, THIS type of crap ain't making it happen.
  6. Thanks for the answers. Guess I'll check back in another 6 months. Rest easy mods, I'm not back to be a thorn in your sides just yet. There has to be something here to care about for that to happen.
  7. ...but not sure if this game is coming back or still going down the crapper? Anything being done with PvP other than adding more garbage to pad the stats of the ancient accounts?
  8. Sorry, but everything that can be done to "fix" Epic involves leaving in place the one thing that is stopping people from playing there and stagnating the PvP servers...windows of opportunity. I had a couple characters on Epic that were perfectly fine to go up against the other accounts there, however the accounts would curbstomp newer players, and that's what sucks. There is no fix for the eventual stagnation that comes with the PvP servers aside from a complete wipe and restart on a periodic basis. After a certain time frame, a newer player cannot compete, pure and simple. Let the PvP servers play out for a set amount of time, developing the usual exploits, politics, and terraforming. Hot fix what you can and work on permanent fixes along the way. Reset after the set time frame allowed, or set up a win scenario and apply the permanent fixes for the new round. Turbonerds can turbonerd, and casuals can be casual, without the possibility of accounts getting out of hand and making people feel like there is no way to catch up. At that point teamwork becomes a priority instead of grinding. You wanna hermit in this game, I suggest playing PvE.
  9. They also aren't exactly convincing anyone to play on Epic either. But good try with that biting wit. How's that working for ya?

    Carm killing the joke before it even starts. You are getting better with age buddy. Love ya.

    Do what? Seriously Carmichael, I can't even fathom.
  12. I've got no more love to lose for this game, however, this article does not paint a pretty picture of health for Wurm. I'm not sure the author was looking for someone to highlight Wurm in any positive manner. Instead, the article looks like a hit piece, with an unsuspecting boob at the butt end of the joke. In all my experience dealing with Wossoo, I've never found him to be one who could be considered to have even a rudimentary command of the mechanics nor the politics behind the game. His delusions of a long struggle to start a kingdom of his own made me laugh all the way through this entire article. He was a GM that started the first thread to make a PMK in Epic...that about sums it up. Within the first 24 hours of planting the deed and making the PMK he started losing control of the situation. There were at least a dozen people, if not more, that had a better understanding of how to run an operation that large and also organize the huge number of trolling assbags like myself that just wanted to see what a PMK was all about from the beginning of the server. Is there even a PR department at Wurm anymore? Because all I ever see as far as exposure for this game, is hit pieces from disgruntled ex-players and the odd revisit from gaming mags that are clearly having a slow news week.
  13. Once a server gets past the 18-24 month age, PvP goes down the shitter. Tinkering with all these numbers and the bloated equipment list that is useless won't help a damned thing. Sorry, but I've given up entirely. Peace
  14. Negative threads don't hurt this game. ###### like this does. This is comical.
  15. A lot of people already dealt with years of that type of gameplay near Valhalla on the Wild server. It sucked then, and it sucks still. Can't blame them for leaving a server that was basically more of the same ###### they left 3-4 years before. I spent a few hours at the landbridge pew pewing and said, "I must be insane to think this is fun". I left, went back to deed, logged out, and haven't been back in game since then. The tactics of old returning on a fresh map was the perfect cap to a long list of horrible crap to go down on the PvP servers.
  16. I'm going to assume English is not your native language. However, I think I understand what you are getting at. Here's the problem with the points you make. They are anecdotal and not indicative of reality. The numbers don't lie and there are several glaring problems with the game that are making people that were fanatical about playing this game drop it like a hot potato. Those people, like myself, have invested a lot of time and effort using the forums to voice their concerns over the years only to be ignored. The consequence of that apathy is the current decline in the numbers of people that actively play this game. The fact that some of us are still here on the forums just shows how passionate we are about the game and would love for it to bounce back. However, a lot of us have reached a breaking point on waiting.
  17. Reasons this game sucks: ZERO fidelity in development and moderation. This is the #1 reason why people run from this game these days. Limited choice for the PvP servers. Call it meta if you want, however, I look at it from the perspective of a customer who goes into a store and the shelves are full of the same product. Overloading the game with lots of meaningless choices does not increase variety. An inability or unwillingness to remove advantages gained by verified and acknowledged exploits. An inability or unwillingness to reset servers to remove gross advantages by players that invest more time in the game than others. This is a hotly contested point. My thoughts remain solidly in the camp that asks for periodic resets of whole servers to wipe the slate clean and let everyone enjoy a fresh start. Having more time to play the game than others does not equal more skill in PvP. However, some super buffed accounts can not be overcome, and in reality that is what kills PvP more than anything. There is more, but I think this is enough for now to let the delusional fanboys to flame for a few more days.
  18. Yeah, Wurm Unlimited is really taking off now. WU = Players in the last 2 weeks: 3,731 ± 1,520 Dino D-Day = Players in the last 2 weeks: 12,167 ± 2,745 Bwahahahahaha Dino ###### D Day has more players than wurm.
  19. The game is running on four flat tires through quicksand and someone has pissed in the gas tank. Sorry, but the days of having hope while the devs and "PR" make empty promises ain't cutting the mustard anymore. Time to stop checking in and seeing if the game is making progress enough for a return.
  20. You'd be amazed at what I get away with on these forums. If I was just a simple troll who wanted this game to die for no other reason than to meme, then I suspect I would have had twice as many forum accounts banned. However, that still doesn't make up for the typical fascists tactics employed around here. And trust me, if you think that this game loses any playing value simply because the stuff you made in game goes poof, then you have hoarder personality traits. One more thing, any of you puds out there that want to say you didn't have the time of your Wurm lives when Epic opened and every account was noob and the world was untouched, you are only lying to yourselves. (of course this is meant strictly for those that started on Epic that first month)
  21. I'm going to just assume that people who play Wurm are hoarders IRL. Just bite the bullet and wipe the entire game and start over from scratch.
