  1. Can't believe we were crying about this 3 years ago bahaha
  2. Guys, it's happening
  3. Locate Soul range has been reduced to 200 tiles. Beyond that range you will receive the message “No such soul found”. Yes!
  4. WO should be free. I still don't understand why people pay for WO when you can get the same experience on a number of 1x action 1x skill WU servers that are available. With mods that make the game so less tedious, I'm utterly surprised people still pay for WO at all. (Sure some of you will argue that it's totally worth it and your having fun, but not everyone new player wants to spend 8 hours building their first 1x1 shack)
  5. I prefer Wu's skilling. Your always going to have people with two sides to this. Also those who possibly hear about this on WU and go " oh hey look epic got a change let's go nerd out there.. are going to realise that WO skilling is far different, and possibly tedious. Epic was meant to be fast skillgain, and I think this will help
  6. In my personal opinion, body stats need to be capped at maybe a max of 50 or lower, tomes removed, local reduced, map size small. And you got a good start
  7. The population is so small (or was) that you'd be more likely to be in a 1v1 90% of the time. Currently if your not atleast 40-50 body it's almost a waste of time roaming solo. However, it is worth noting, you can get away with a great deal just by playing it smart, no matter what skills you have.

  8. (Please Close)

    I used to live on top a mountain on serenity, nothing beats being thrown out of your house, and half way down the mountain when you went afk and a nogump thought to say hello.
  9. Same thing happens in PvP if you start as a new player on elevation, where there is a good chance higher level players will see you and say hi
  10. WO version of the game, especially freedom.. is geared towards community. Sticking with a new player village early game is the best thing someone could do. Sure it's not impossible to go out on your own, I myself have managed this easily before as a basic newb. But not every server is easy Some have very little mobs, some have loads in areas. All depends on where you start.
  11. It's honestly not worth the effort
  12. Death tabs will now be broadcast in GL-Freedom. Now the whole server gets to laugh at you when you die. You are absolutely savage! Haha
  13. Sounds like your hinting something here ?
  14. Free garden gnomes for everyone if it gets implemented? ?
  15. Biggest problem ended up being late game elevation with all the forests, amoung other issues. I didn't mind how flat it was but I guess that resulted in less choke points. 90% of its choke points were where the islands connected and it was just horrible haha.
  16. I second this, it'll be the first time id have done so since early last year
  17. new map, and pls ,make it 2k x 2k or a max of 4k x 4k. Anything larger is a waste of time. Even if there is a large player base, it's just so much better with the enemy at your doorstep rather than an hours horse ride.
  18. Last I checked I was over 600 hours in WU ?
  19. From the beginning this server was absolutely amazing. The sailing wasn't that flash hot but the land was amazing to stare at for 2 hours just sailing to a coastline hehe. All that aside, I've always said this server was way too large.
  20. Personally, while I was all for 'merge' at one stage, I never mentioned why. And a year ago my opinion was different to what it is now. Now that I have a child of my own I believe being in the PvP community would be too demanding while I have to leave my chair every 10 seconds to see what he's up to! A year ago, my needs and wants for the merge were entirely selfish, but now all I want to do is enjoy the game. With alot of the new features added to the pve side of the game I've come to love this part of the game. While I still like PvP, I simply have no time for it unless it's a fast paced challenge like type of play, and even then I'd have to be quick at what I'm doing haha. I'd pay for this game again if I were to move my epic account to freedom and keep its skills. I happily donate to WU servers often so in ways I'm still paying for wurm! So re subbing isn't my problem. I simply don't want to invest another 3 years into the game.

  21. Sklotopolis - PVE

    Drastox replied to Sklo:D's topic in PvE

    New server ?
  22. I was wondering how to fix this issue and hadn't even bothered to look into it. Sounds so simple haha
  23. Been struggling to get into wurm again.. After almost 5 years of playing off and on there is little incentive to really dive in haha. Recently logged into this server after 2 years of being inactive from it ( was there at server launch 2 years ago on the original map). Once I get over the hurdle of reacquiring starter tools after having lost all items at some stage, I'll most likely poor hours into this game once again. Had a little walk around town while I was there... Pretty well layed out!
  24. Delete /who command entirely, but have the hour delay via website. You da man worksock
  25. I've bought and payed for wu once and will never have to again. I don't even mind having to 'start again' if a server closes and in my experience its the PvP servers with the highest likelihood of closing prematurely. I'll never go back to grinding on a 1x skill 1x timer ever again, which I think is the games biggest draw back. Sure by the time you build your first 1x1 house you feel pretty accomplished.. But that can take quite a long time to do. For some money isn't even the issue.. Its the tedium and time involved that's the problem. Only vets stick around because deed work doesn't take 16 hours to do to have some sort of visual impact on what you can accomplish. Sure this idea is perfect for those without money to pay for premium, but without faster skill gain or timers the game gets dull fast for most. There are a lot of other issues in new player retention but time and money in a game that takes forever to get anything done has to be one of the biggest issues. However this game has come too far with older players feeling hard done by if timers or exp boosts were added. So the game will continue to decline...
