Let me get one thing straight: You don't need to abuse any bugs to have 99+ in any of the skills this time into the server. Especially with the current state of the world and a lot of people being able to be online most hours of the day. 90+ woodcutting especially is fairly easy for an experienced player. I've really enjoyed the new servers, though I have spent almost all of my time in the north on one of them: Defiance. I never really spent any time on Harmony, and instead I hopped over to Melody when that opened and now Cadence if I ever feel like playing on the PvE side of things. All of the new servers, even Harmony, seem a lot more alive than the proper old servers and there's always someone I can wander into. It's not packed like it was in the beginning, but I'm sure nobody wants to have their deed literally surrounded by other deeds. Help me understand what you're trying to say. The Northern isles are still a lot different from the Southern isles.

Through science, it has been proven that the Valrei board is biased towards Magranon winning. I think Alexgopen made a few posts on it some time back.

It's the price you pay for not travelling to the buyer.

Having to travel over long distances are one of the appeals of Wurm for me. It's not fun, but it facilitates "local artisans" and such.

A great initiative I'm looking forward to seeing the result(s) of.

Shouldn't this be in https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/26-technical-issues/ ?

Problem still persisting. Seems to apply to young horses.

Disease adds fun to tower construction and bashing alike. Does it even do anything other than the status effect?

Bump. Issue still persisting.

My upkeep is 5s and 22c and it has plenty of space for the villagers I have here. Been a while since I counted but there's usually 10 people online. Keep in mind I'm paying for a few guards as well, as this is on a PvP server. edit: I have 50% off because my deed is the capital of a kingdom oops

You already can, sort of. /random 1 will give you a value of 1 or 0

"They didn't do anything bad!" - about the TREACHEROUS converts

Why not? You could always just sail over during the 24 hour window and pray there to get the sleep bonus, if you don't want to live there permanently.

In the past you used to be able to right click on players and go "what's this" and it would send you to an in-game wiki. You'll see some pages like Player:Ols for instance as well. I'm pretty sure you could right click on tokens as well and you'd get up a page for something like Settlement:Silent Hill.

We already have zones similar to the yellow area in your suggestion. They are called the starter areas and they're pretty safe - especially if your deed has people online during the 2 hours your deed can actually have its buildings damaged.

Would be fun to have some tours with the mayors of the larger settlements on the NFI servers - even Defiance if you can get someone to agree to that.

On PvP servers, the reward for exploring is treasure chests. These contain items ranging from high QL leather to strange bones. I'm not sure how well a similar thing would work on the PvE servers though, but you do have the rift scout camps.

Being part of a village in WO and seeing a lot of progress on whatever project the deed is working on is always quite nice, even if you can only "afford" to log in for a few hours every week. You're not missing out, you're just laying back and watching others do the hard work

I want to clarify: You don't lose skill when dying in PvP - only fight skill and body strength. So it's not for PvP.

Some sort of "everyone goes here and we have a rumble" would be fun. The new HoTA is more tactical, and I like it more than the war deeds of the old HoTA. But I do miss the rumble.

We're about a month into Defiance now and none of the kingdoms have a ruler. If the devs want to see rulers, something has to be changed. Ideally a mechanic with less randomness should be introduced - preferably PvP related as the king's main power is a boost in combat.

Surface mining is boring, but that's not a bad thing. The impact is pretty much permanent - your reward is your mark on the world and the ability to flatten mountains.

Would be cool to see some caravan raids on the PvP server. I like the idea of hitching a horse to a horse, but have it be stuck on a timer so we can still use it for PvP without the 1000 backup mounts. Have the amount of animals you can have in a caravan be restricted by animal husbandry.

Kill a tower guard. That's a human corpse.

Make it so people with "manage item permissions" can manage the names of buildings and gates too while we're at it.
