@Zundy I have lived as a pretty visible hermit in the Gold Coast area for 7 years. It has always been a dream of mine to have that area be kind of a free zone for people to come and hang out on chaos and even maybe a marketplace. The problem is I have no idea how that's going to work. If you have a server where you can kill people and steal things and cause mayhem in general for good reasons or bad LOL, it becomes really difficult to kind of carve out an area where suddenly that's not allowed. At that point it becomes PVE. The two things that challenge noobs the most are first the fact that pretty much anybody who isn't affiliated with a kingdom is immediately suspected of being a spy for good reason, and killed. Secondly there really is not any infrastructure for someone starting out on chaos because if you're not connected to a kingdom and you don't know what you're doing in the game, you're dealing with some pretty intense mobs and an area that is fraught with constant danger on top of already having to learn a bunch of pretty complex game mechanics. There have been a lot of kingdoms who are fairly open to new people joining. At almost any given time at least one Kingdom that is active is open to letting new people come and contribute. You're going to end up doing grunt work but for the most part you're going to be appreciated because making tons and tons of support beams, while a very miserable job, is providing something invaluable to the kingdom. Even with my own pacifistic nature, I tried to join a kingdom and I managed to hang in there for about 3 months. It was a really great experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I may want to do it again someday. But nobody would have kicked me out if I had said I refuse to fight. There's so much that needs to be done, it's almost a relief to some of the kingdoms if they have people who are not interested in the PVP skirmishes. But instead are interested in building and repairing and infrastructure. I really don't know what the answer is, but I do think there have been strides taken to break down some of the stereotypes that PVE people have towards PVPers, and that PVPers have towards the PVErs. There are toxic communities in both places. And unfortunately a server that basically says you can kill people and steal their stuff is going to call to itself a few people who are not nice people LOL. But everything that I have seen over there has shown me that for a kingdom to function you just can't operate that way, and most of the people over there are very cool. I would like to sit down and maybe shoot back and forth some ideas about how to make kind of a starter area that was safe. But again I have thought about it off and on for the last 7 years and I still haven't come up with a solution. This is a really interesting post and I like reading everything in the comments. Thank you for posting about it.

@Yagaeverything you said regarding your philosophy is also mine. Somehow I have managed to play on chaos for 7 years as a pacifist. I love the PVP community, but I know if a corpse ever appeared on the ground in front of me because of something I did, I would just be devastated. And like you I'm also very embracing of other ways of seeing things. Other ways of playing. The community, camaraderie, astounding building projects I've seen, and incomprehensible things I find in the forest keep me endlessly fascinated.

To reply to everyone - This is something we can all do. The possibilities are kinda endless. We have ornaments to use, also. I have no idea about decay. I will be finding that out. As to the lights, they add to the image rather than detract from it, in my opinion, though not everything made would be like that, for sure. I think it is really cool and I want more festive thingies to make more murals *wanders off to go forage

Spacy asked us to tell stories of who he was. I didn't follow directions with my first post - the news had hit me too hard. But I will now.... There are 1300 items in Rockcliff Museum. Aaedean had a hand in imping over half of them for longevity, and for finding signatures. He is the reason for so many people being remembered there. I could send over things I found any time of the day or night, and he would imp them in less than 48 hours and tell me to send more any time. His dedication to the Museum, and all the work he did there was astounding, and would have been a legacy just in and of itself. But it was just a tiny drop in the bucket of all he did for us at impalongs, ingame all day long, just being who he was. His generosity was so profound that imping hundreds of items for a museum for two years was one of the many little things he did in between everything else he did. It was a huge honor to know him.

Few things have hit me as hard as this news tonight. My words will fail me. Wisdom would ask me to wait until the tears have dried and time has allowed me to organize my thoughts. But there is also a wisdom of the heart in the moment of impact, when a light that was constant goes out. The world is darker, and for this moment, the loss is blinding. I never knew Aaedean to do anything other than give, as if for him giving was the same as breathing. With every blow of his hammer, the gentle lesson he taught us all was there like a song, a heartbeat, that has now stilled, and in the silence, the deafening silence, I am brought to my knees in the face of this loss. When I stand back up again, I hope to honor everything he taught me in learning how to be as generous in my own life. But tonight, I mourn. We lost a beacon of light. And this darkness falls heavy.

You said, Most of my friends long since stopped playing only logging in if we had a special project. My guess is this is the real issue. The others are all about changes to the game that aren't great, and while totally valid to be disappointed by that, Wurm has always been a game about community. If the community isn't there, the rest of the issues are glaring. I'd love to see you stay. You matter to a lot of folks here. But making new community is hard.

Did you sell it yet?

I have a small bucket. I can put 1.22kg of addy in there no problem. More if I want to. And any other metal. But I can't fit my lump of .62 empyrean in it at all. [23:07:22] The lump will not fit in the small bucket. The bucket is entirely empty. I can drop a lot of lumps in a small chest. but only 2.5 or so Empyrean in one. Is it fluffy like cotton? This is a bit annoying, and makes it hard to store.
