Out with the new, in with the old. Older was much better.

Wrong. Britannia was 16x16. That's four 8x8 maps. Took a very long time to sail from the far islands to mainland. 😛

No free deeds. Good idea. Give people something to do.

Is ok. Got it sorted. Thanks for all the help.

Would have to be one of those files is sqlite folder.

Yeah, you don't understand what I said. 😆

That's exactly what they did and problem solved.

So, me and a friend are setting up a private server hosted by Ping Perfect. We are getting a six second lag every 90 seconds. Any ideas what may be causing it? Likely PP will tell me it's on my end but I don't know since I know nothing about networking, etc.

I guess this is the real question. Is there any point in starting a new server? See enough empty ones as it is.

I didn't say it was wall to wall trees YET. I said it will be unless you keep the tree spread turned down. This is from experience. But hey, if you like dense forest after a couple of months fine by me. And simply looking at the mountains tells me you didn't bother with erosion. And while I was there others complained about how bumpy the terrain was so it's not just me. 😆 These are only opinions. No one is the same. Also, if you are offended then you need a little thicker skin. Not everyone is going to like what you do. I'm not the only one in this thread that has talked about what they see as bad points. 🤪

Far too bumpy. Okay not far too bumpy. Some people like it that way. Probably should have done some erosion passes. A good map is hard to make and takes lots of time, not just running the random generator and calling it good. Sometimes you even have walk around on a partially completed map to see if you got it right then go back into the editor and 'fix' things. Another thing. It's rare anyone settles those huge inland spots. They typically stick to shores. So all of that space is wasted. Rivers connecting all of those lakes might have been a good thing. Ok for a first attempt. I would look at some existing servers to see what they have done and talk to the server owners for some tips. The mix of trees is ok but I'd turn down the tree spawn to something very low like 1 in 10000. If you don't the whole place will be wall to wall dense forest. 😉 Should probably let people butcher what they kill in noobtown. Bounty on bury or burn to keep down the corpses. The messages in the events tab can cause lag when they appear.

It would seem to me that the lack of WU updating would be a golden moment to make all MODS stable instead of having to fix them constantly. Not only that but make more custom mods for WU only that might be time consuming but now possible since they too will not have to be constantly updated. Instead of cup half empty this is more a cup half full moment imo. I don't know anything about modding so this is just speculation on my part. 😉

Is this list still up to date?

Creation QoL Improvements. I'm really having trouble wrapping my head around this. I suddenly get stupid and start making 1ql stuff? But to get around that I make an alt who can make better stuff than my more experienced character and imp it. Wut? Oh, and forget that my more experienced character sometimes fails to make something completely while my new alt never fails making a thing. Can't you come up with something that does not encourage a thousand alts?

They don't want money sucked away from their Steam WO so they abandon WU and hope it dies? Don't really understand the reasoning myself.

Don't expect this to get fixed. Ever.

Not playing the server at all. A friend was there for a few days and I watched for a bit. The deed size puzzled him as well.

I love the open spaces. Far too many servers set the tree spread so high that the entire map becomes dense impenetrable forest. If someone wants trees it's easy enough to plant them. Very nice map. Good to see someone realizes people settle along coasts and generally leave the interior unsettled. All that coastline makes for plenty of opportunity. Also a big fan of snow capped mountains. Adds some flavor. Only downside I can see for this particular 1x1 server is the limited deed size. It's an 8k map with a huge coast. At least give people a 101x101 deed max regardless of number of citizens. Maybe larger with more people but 41x41 jsut because it's one person? Really? Still scratching my head over the logic of your limits.

I'm not bashing anything. I'm telling the truth. 1x1 is tedious. And the number of 1x1 servers that are successful over the long haul are very few. That is also the truth. The rest end up fading away. So yes, it's difficult to know that this will be nothing more than a waste of time. There is nothing wrong with telling people of the risk. I'm sure your intentions are nothing more than good and I hope people who use lots of their time on your server are not disappointed.

"This is a server that some will consider difficult." My review of this server and others like it: What is meant by "difficult" is that this is a TEDIOUS server, not hard. Mobs are easily enough avoided by newbs. But the 1x1 snail crawl makes this server extremely tedious. And then after you invest all of that time these types of servers vanish. Only an exceedingly few are around longer than six months. They are not worth the risk of losing the time invested at a 1x1 pace. No fun at all unless you like watching grass grow only to have it turned into a parking lot.

After playing here for a few days I find this server is typically down for long periods of time. Not much fun with that. 😛

So do we get sun lamps with the underground planters? My experience with caves is that is no light there. 🤨

I've been playing on this for a few days now. It would be nice to add a handful of mods. Like checking your bank balance from the character window. With this huge map free deeds with paying upkeep would be good. Maybe limit the deed size to something like 151x151 tiles. Faster cart and boat speed. A portal in each corner of the map. Some other things would help draw people too.

Hopefully some day this can be implemented as an optional but permanent part of WU instead of a mod. It adds so much to the game.

So that little red circle is pve and all the rest is pvp? Should probably be the other way around so if you want to destroy someone you don't have so far to go. Seriously.
