  3. Xarban and I made a deal on my old account today and, thanks to Xarban's patience and honesty, everything went great. I'm always nervous when it comes to account transactions but Xarban was very honest and understanding. He had every opportunity to take advantage of me and he didn't. He even stayed on with me for over an hour trying to get everything straight on my end. I would recommend a trade with Xarban anytime, in game or RL. Thanks again Xarban, and I hope you enjoy your new account Cheers!
  4. *gulp* well, not much sense in logging in now, I wont be able to see the armor anyhow without my eye...
  5. LOL, rolf goes on vacation more than obama. It's always been that way, I've seen servers go down for an entire weekend because rolf was "on vacation". Just one more reason I'm in the process of quiting. How long ago was 1.0 released? I haven't played in a couple of months, but I'll bet my right eye that horses still don't have visible armor lol. I'm sure I could find many more examples of changes they've promised and never bothered to implement, but I'm just going by memory atm. They want to charge WoW rates for lemonade-stand services. What a joke. I've been watching it go on for years, and guess what, not a darn thing has changed. Each release brings a flood of new bugs and very few improvements, but fear not, sleep bonus makes it all ok, lmao. All these issues were acceptable back when the they charged us what the game is actually worth, but at the new rates it's completely unacceptable and you all should expect more. If you really want to know were the devs priorities lie, ask yourself how many times you've ever seen the "Shop" offline lol. They may not be able to keep the game servers up full time, but they always find a way to accept your payment, they never make mistakes when it comes to their money...
  6. A deal has been struck.. Thank you to everyone that showed an interest.
  7. I stopped playing Wurm a few months ago and have no real interest in returning so I'd like to try to trade for something I can enjoy with my friends, who all seem to be playing Guild Wars 2. My needs are simple, I'm looking for an active Guild Wars 2 account, that's about it. Starting from scratch is half the fun so I don't really care about gear or levels. My Account is currently not prem, comes with Merchant and coastal Deed on south shore of Exodus - size: 37 x 17 w/mine(iron/silver/copper), 7 story wooden fort and 133 days of paid upkeep as of 8/26 QL- 24 Corbita w/41 rafts, 2 sail boats, 2 row boats and tons of misc. materials and epuiment, too much to list, some enchanted and a few rares. Deed is at 24x - 48y : If you look to the map it is between South Sea Pearl and Sheriff = http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/85299-exodus-deed-map/ Skills dumped at Aug 26, 2013 ----- Religion: 0.0 0.0 0 Alignment: 0.0 0.0 0 Faith: 0.0 0.0 0 Favor: 0.0 0.0 0 Skills: 0.0 0.0 0 Paving: 24.042692 24.042692 0 Tracking: 10.01008 10.01008 0 Milling: 10.789056 10.789056 0 Coal-making: 20.339037 20.339037 0 Prospecting: 6.5960956 6.5960956 0 Thatching: 1.3662328 1.3662328 0 Healing: 11.897754 11.897754 0 First aid: 24.385796 24.385796 0 Archery: 10.128606 10.128606 0 Medium bow: 3.4574964 3.4574964 0 Short bow: 7.4765654 7.4765654 0 Thievery: 1.0 1.0 0 Traps: 1.0 1.0 0 Climbing: 6.545155 6.545155 0 Shields: 3.7761827 3.7761827 0 Medium wooden shield: 1.913015 1.913015 0 Large metal shield: 3.7256212 3.7256212 0 Medium metal shield: 1.6370913 1.6370913 0 Axes: 23.051722 23.051722 0 Huge axe: 3.7161958 3.7161958 0 Hatchet: 27.950895 27.950895 0 Swords: 16.84163 16.84163 0 Shortsword: 9.4868765 9.4868765 0 Longsword: 26.50295 26.52795 0 Knives: 21.132801 21.132801 0 Butchering knife: 20.2431 20.2431 0 Carving knife: 25.998756 25.998756 0 Woodcutting: 44.504627 44.529625 0 Mauls: 1.4336597 1.4336597 0 Medium maul: 1.9392614 1.9392614 0 Carpentry: 61.532925 61.532925 0 Fine carpentry: 20.636395 20.636395 0 Ship building: 35.1496 35.1496 0 Fletching: 12.869537 12.894538 0 Bowyery: 10.477563 10.477563 0 Nature: 37.837463 37.837463 0 Gardening: 32.742546 32.742546 0 Fishing: 31.563717 31.563717 0 Papyrusmaking: 1.6405565 1.6405565 0 Animal husbandry: 19.70827 19.70827 0 Meditating: 17.453506 17.453506 0 Farming: 38.303085 38.303085 0 Forestry: 42.877823 42.877823 0 Botanizing: 26.31401 26.31401 0 Animal taming: 6.749297 6.749297 0 Foraging: 25.252733 25.252733 0 Cooking: 18.911226 18.911226 0 Hot food cooking: 30.650244 30.650244 0 Baking: 10.953864 10.953864 0 Beverages: 13.203155 13.203155 0 Butchering: 18.881502 18.881502 0 Fighting: 25.716667 16.337757 0 Shield bashing: 1.2718534 1.2718534 0 Taunting: 1.0 1.0 0 Normal fighting: 28.29788 28.29788 0 Defensive fighting: 16.524237 16.524237 0 Aggressive fighting: 12.146897 12.146897 0 Weaponless fighting: 1.7552197 1.7552197 0 Alchemy: 11.349163 11.349163 0 Natural substances: 24.789953 24.789953 0 Miscellaneous items: 58.81923 58.81923 0 Stone chisel: 17.14083 17.14083 0 Hammer: 45.673927 45.673927 0 Sickle: 37.78911 37.78911 0 Scythe: 4.9648576 4.9648576 0 Repairing: 31.857725 31.857725 0 Saw: 18.371311 18.371311 0 Pickaxe: 74.12702 74.12702 0 Rake: 26.137575 26.137575 0 Shovel: 38.87859 38.87859 0 Pottery: 20.417683 20.442682 0 Firemaking: 20.066212 20.066212 0 Digging: 62.11957 62.11957 0 Mining: 70.79526 70.79526 0 Smithing: 37.636627 37.636627 0 Metallurgy: 6.790835 6.790835 0 Jewelry smithing: 30.072828 30.072828 0 Locksmithing: 4.9044585 4.9044585 0 Blacksmithing: 52.100758 52.100758 0 Armour smithing: 18.189909 18.189909 0 Shield smithing: 6.744894 6.744894 0 Chain armour smithing: 41.258938 41.258938 0 Plate armour smithing: 12.652846 12.652846 0 Weapon smithing: 14.081413 14.081413 0 Blades smithing: 14.045191 14.045191 0 Weapon heads smithing: 10.211985 10.211985 0 Ropemaking: 9.033955 9.033955 0 Masonry: 36.669407 36.694405 0 Stone cutting: 27.638102 27.638102 0 Tailoring: 12.611165 12.611165 0 Leatherworking: 15.92406 15.92406 0 Cloth tailoring: 23.301155 23.301155 0 Characteristics: 0.0 0.0 0 Soul: 25.67272 25.67272 0 Soul strength: 27.400982 27.400982 0 Soul depth: 23.382248 23.382248 0 Mind: 28.764278 28.764278 0 Mind speed: 20.24598 20.24598 0 Mind logic: 32.866154 32.866154 0 Body: 35.282352 35.29235 0 Body stamina: 29.190214 29.190214 0 Body strength: 32.160088 32.17009 0 Body control: 25.098114 25.098114 0   PM or post here if interested
  8. I figured about the same, but considering the poor quality of the lock and the fact that I can't deliver, 7s seemed like a fair mid-ground. Thanks for the heads-up though
  9. Selling Corbita with 41 small rafts. - 7s Located in south Exodus, near Sheriff Mt.. Delivery is not possible for me atm, buyer must be willing to pick up. [11:07:56] A ship with square sails steered by two side rudders connected to each other. It is locked with a lock of very poor quality. It is made from cedarwood. It could be improved with a log. Ql: 24.25191, Dam: 0.0. The name of the owner, Haab, has been etched in the stern. [11:07:56] You can barely make out the signature of its maker, '.aa.'. Post here or PM if interested.
  10. I notice that you failed to mention exactly what it is that I can't get anywhere else. Perhaps you'd like to elaborate so that I may help you understand what I'm talking about.. I can try to guess, but about the only thing I can come up with is the ability to raise and lower land, but then again, minecraft and xsyon offer that too. Land/Housing ownership? nope, been done for years. (AC1, EQ2, Vanguard, Uncharted Waters etc, etc.), Crafting? i'm pretty sure that's been done too (too many to list). PVP? there is waaayy better out there (again, too many to list), Mounts? no. Mining? nope. Fishing? been done too. I can go on and on but I think you get the idea. I'm not trying to say that WURM has no value, on the contrary, as I previously posted, I had no problem with the idea of a price increase until I saw how unreasonable that increase was. I enjoy playing WURM, but I'm not going to pretend that it is something more than it really is just because it costs more.
  11. The simple, undeniable fact of the matter is that for the same monthly fee (or less) I can subscribe to any number of games which feature better graphics, better tech support (even on weekends and holidays), more content, tons more grind-free content, bigger community, less glitches, fewer exploits (intended or otherwise(ie;Traders)), Balance ('nuff said), and a boat-load of minor perks such as avatars that hinge at the waist, mounts with visible gear, quests/missions, the ability to jump, furniture you can actually use and much more. I wasn't opposed to a slight price increase when it was first announced, but such a drastic increase is simply unreasonable. In the current game market, WURM simply isn't worth it. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but if one draws an objective comparison between WURM and the many, many games on the market today, it's plain to see that you can get more for your money elsewhere. WURMs greatest appeal has always been it's price. Through all of the glitches, nerfs, missing items, years and years of "beta testing", etc, etc, etc.... the one thing that made it all semi-acceptable was the price. Even then, I always considered Silver to be over-priced, but premium time was reasonable therefore I was willing to overlook the occasional hiccup. That is only my opinion though. WURM has many unique qualities I'll admit, but none that justify such a sharp increase in price. Like Rolf, I too work very hard for my money and I intend to get the best quality product for the money I spend. The more I spend, the better quality I expect. Also like Rolf I perform a service for others for which I am payed a rated fee. If one of my competitors can offer better services at the same rate as my services, it's reasonable to assume that I'm not going to remain in business much longer unless I either raise my level of service or lower my rates. It's dillusional to believe otherwise. Personally, I've dumped all of my remaining silver into my deed maintenance and fired my Templar. There is little I can accomplish on my deed without going premium and I refuse to go premium until the price-to-quality ratio changes signifigantly. I'll keep checking the forums for as long as my deed remains paid, but I have no intention of returning until things change. Sadly, I'm not the only one who feels this way, and it's a real shame....
  12. [14:44:02] The items are now available and you have been charged 2 silver and 10 copper. Thanks again
  13. That would be great Thanks. Just let me know if you come up with something, I'll cover CoD charge.
