  1. As this thread keeps venturing into theory, conjecture, insults, and non useful information.  It will remain locked until we get official word from Rolf to settle this issue.  This will not be automatically assumed a bug, and it will not be automatically assumed normal based on theory and hearsay, only Rolf may decide if this is intended or not.

    Thank you,

  2. The servers have not been down at all so far outside of regular updates and maintenance.

    We are being affected by some internet backbone or service named Cogent.  Apparently many businesses and services are suffering the same problems because of Cogent and this lag is way in front of the Wurm Online servers.

    Please be patient while that company gets their problems solved.

    edit... umm apparently wild is not as affected...  so umm,  ignore me..


  3. I know this news won't help any,  but the servers are not the problem.  This lag is being caused by a backbone or service called Cogent.  If this were Wurm related Rolf would likely have had this sorted for us by now.

    Please be patient, Cogent is apparently affecting thousands of businesses and services across the net so hopefully someone is doing something to get this issue of their sorted and out of our way.

    edit:  apparently wild is affected differently so ignore me.


  4. Horton might be the best, but only if he doesn't use Who to help him (or MR) ever and no one will ever know if or when he ever has done so.

    The Human factor is far to complex to give someone.

    1) Leadership of a kingdom they have vested interest in

    2) A GM or CM account they could use to benefit the kingdom

    So Horton might be a honest fellow and a straight shooter.  I do not know but he has the capability to use certain tools no other kingdom leader has access to. It is like playing chess against yourself and favoring neither side. Or concealing your superpowers to play football with normal kids.  Draw your own analogy.

    We get accusations against us on a fairly regular basis, and  I can tell you first hand that Horton does everything to the best of his ability to do right.  He does not use his moderator account on wild while he is playing and always defers issues to the rest of the team so that there can be no reasonable claim of abuse.  He posts here in the forums as a player supporting his kingdom.

    The accusation of him being able to hide his activity from the rest of us is unfounded.  Oracle can investigate any claims, and Rolf has logs of all our activities.  Rolf and Oracle have a good moderation system that does not allow any of us to hide claimed activities.

    So I would state that Horton is an honest fellow and a straight shooter, though that doesn't mean I think he is the best kingdom leader  ;)


  5. Yes Wild is currently down.  Please do not make any more stressful remarks about Xallo causing this event.  It is not his fault and Rolf will have Wild server up and running as soon as possible in the morning.


  6. Goodbye Aab.

    I have been around long enough to know many people die during the course of this game, and sadly I cannot remember them all anymore.  I try to remember their names, but for the life of me I cannot.   Perhaps someone would be so kind as to add a respectful sign near the WL sign to commemorate Aab and to keep us reminded of him.


  7. About your disconnects...  are they shutting your internet down as well, via your modem/router?  or is it just the game is disconnecting?

    also what kind of internet are you using and please post your console.log


  8. This is likely going to be a temperature or a voltage issue.  It still could be memory,  you would need to run the new multicore Memtest86 for 12 hours non stop to know for relative certainty that your memory is in fine shape.


  9. It is intended that compass quality should have an effect on the compass.  Eventually you will need to stand still with a decent compass to get a good reading I believe.


  10. GM's should not hold any personal feelings toward any player against them.  We work on facts and information.  If anyone has any legitimate issue with a GM, you should talk to Oracle.  He will always investigate and legitimate concerns brought to him.
