  1. Unfortunately, I am cancelling the 2023 Impalong at New Festival Cove, effective immediately! I am tired of all these woke ######s starting drama, and I will not be a part of it. Instead, I am out. I will be shifting my entire assets to @Thicket, who is a villager in my town, and stuck by me all these years. I will work with my friend, transferring my assets to him. I imagine he will be willing to help others, as I have, all these years. This will not be a RMT transaction, simply a gift to my friend, that I met in Wurm. Please do not contact me, while I'm in game. I am out!
  2. Unfortunately, I am cancelling the 2023 Impalong at New Festival Cove, effective immediately! The CEO is a dumbass for treating our great former programmers, and others, like ######. At $350,000, it was a great deal for the buyer, and taking it to Amazon was awesome for the buyer, another million! He's laughing at all of you, while he fires important people to the game.

  3. @Nirav I will be there! Best Regards, Vooch Mayor, New Festival Cove
  4. SirMuttley, No, but the pic above suffices as docks... As far as, "stop doing the insane dirt docks that look horrible and endure long after deeds have fallen"... Our docks are not dirt, and they have wooden planks along the side (again, not dirt), because we had to get rid of the marsh below. The top is a slab of some sort and a different type of terrain on top. If you attend you'll be able to see it first-hand. Sand is actually best in deep waters, such as ours. You can learn more about our project here: https://newfestivalcove.com/?p=715 After you disembark, you can have the sand slowly slope upward until the end, so you can walk out easily. Best Regards, Vooch
  5. We've already got boat docks in the game:
  6. Some are saying, they want "Freddy" as the NFC Leader... We'll see about that! Respectfully, @Vooch Mayor, New Festival Cove
  7. *** WORK IN PROGRESS. I WILL UPDATE THIS POST REGULARLY. *** INTRODUCTION Hello Wurmians, Thicket and I, are proud to invite everyone to our 3rd New Festival Cove Halloween Haunted House Impalong on the Independence server! An Impalong is a community event where Crafters (Impers) and Priests from all over Wurm come together to Improve and Enchant player tools for Free. We all spread the LOVE around in order to improve game experience and knowledge for everyone, so whether you are young or old, this is a type of event to attend! Let me remind everyone that in order to get here, many players dedicated their time and/or items for free in order to help create this incredible event! This event will be held from: Friday, October 20, 12:00 AM (Early Morning Midnight) Central Time USA (GMT -5) - Sunday, October 22, 11:59 PM (Midnight) Central Time USA (GMT -5) NEW FESTIVAL COVE New Festival Cove is located at O16 on the Independence map of the Freedom Isles servers. If you use Albia Maps [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kHuvWv-8Sha5nsRgow9LSLrNxwYbHFpL/view?usp=sharing ], New Festival Cove is located at 30x 44y. Our website is located at: https://NewFestivalCove.com For older players, New Festival Cove is located where Festival Cove was located - the location of one of Wurm's first Impalongs. When I first arrived on the shores of of the old Festival Cove several years ago, it was abandoned and decayed; but I admit, it was the seven Collosus Statues that caught my eye! After some research, I learned this site was a very special place, so I took it upon myself to return this area back to its former glory, and throw in some special extras along the way. I know many players remember this area, so this is my salute to you! We're shortening this year's event to a 3-day event. We believe everyone can knock out the imping within this time frame. DISCORD During the event, we will be using this Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/dAhEQ5UPVH MAPS SCREENSHOT SPOILER TODO RULES EVENT SCHEDULE TODO ROOM RESERVATIONS TODO STAFF IMPALONG IMPING TEAM This is the initial list. Please respond in this forum post, or PM me, if you would like to help out imping (70 Skill required to join one of these Skills below) and I will add you to the List. We really need impers interested in joining this list in order to make this event a success, so please let me know! PRIESTS FOR ENCHANTING AND SERMONS We need Priests from all religions! We also need said Priests to spread their word (via Sermons), and we need Priests to Enchant items for everyone for Free. If you are interested, please reply in this Forum post with your Character Name in-game and Channeling Skill (above 70) please. CURRENT INVENTORY Our current inventory and inventory needs for the event looks like this. Click on the pic below to enlarge it: BEVERAGES, INCLUDING BOOZE ( via @reddragon6450) While plenty of beverages will be located at the top floor of the Tavern, located at SW NFC Impalong building, @reddragon6450 will be roaming around providing beverages again (eg. sometimes near the tent entrance, and sometimes next to the fireworks show) as he did at the NFC Impalong 2021! Please be sure to tip him for his kindness! DONATIONS If you would like to donate, you can PM and/or mail it to Vooch. You can also send items to Vooch via Wagoneer Berkshire at New Festival Cove. If I'm missing donations, please let me know so you get mentioned properly. These are the donations for this impalong: We've received donations before the last Impalong, which we'll also be using this year as Prizes, so please do not consider the Donations List above as the Prize List! We're actually in good shape in terms of Prizes, and fortunately, we have a few people that are Hosting events this year that will be bringing Prizes that we don't even know about yet! Respectfully Yours, Vooch Mayor, New Festival Cove https://NewFestivalCove.com
  8. @VirusMD , I would love to help out at your impalong!!! Please assign a room for me. I'll be helping with Blacksmithing 85 and more! Thank you so much, Vooch
  9. @Leilue Please give us names of the same toxic old players that you are talking about. I want you to give us the names!
  10. I was not referring to DRF. Thank you all for the ideas! I love many of them, and I'll try to incorporate some of them!
  11. Hello @Madnath, Thank you so much for taking the time to speak out your thoughts! It goes a long way to share our ideas around. It's not because I agree with you on every point, but I agree with almost everything you're saying! I love it! Your ideas on heavy Hot Food Cooking (HFC), Botanizing, and Foraging don't seem appropriate for an impalong, and I can understand your reasoning, so thank you for that input! I totally agree on your opinion that an impalong should NOT be done every year, at the same time, unless it provides some additional value. Just hosting an impalong every year, for the same experience, does not make sense, and I agree! I don't understand why some last for 10-14 days. In my opinion, 4 days seem to be the max. If you disagree, speak up! As you know, I am very much in favor of rethinking the impalong process! Perhaps, we get speakers, such as yourself, that show up on a live stream and talk about weapon and armor builds... Not stuff that works for you particularly, but a series of builds that allow new players to try out things, and perhaps they adapt it for their situation! Recently, I met a blind guy that plays another game, but he listened to the best player in that game, and revised it so it's workable for his own needs. I thought that was incredible! Another idea is to have Wurm Devs and even Community Managers to show up at impalong events to give live speeches, and talk about either current events, answering player questions, or perhaps discuss designs for the future. I really would like people to think about this deeply. How can we redo impalongs, where we serve the needs of new players, and simply not give out prize rewards via event games? I think we're onto something better now after discussing this with you @Madnath! Let's keep the conversation and ideas flowing! Thank you all, Vooch
  12. Folks, Think about revising anything you ever thought an impalong should be! Think about the new player's demands: they need serious help at an impalong. Should the devs install a temporary entrance into the game, during an impalong, for everyone to help them? I know new players are shell-shocked when they arrive in this game because of the complexity, but I'm thinking outside of the box. What do you all think?
  13. Hello Everyone, It's @Vooch, from New Festival Cove, on the Independence shard, and I'm looking for new Impalong event ideas! After speaking with many players and getting feedback, some complaints have been about how impalongs have turned from imping new player items, and more into games, and I can agree with that. I know it costs me a lot of silver to host one. But more importantly, I'm looking for "group activity" ideas, where people can work on things such as, "cooking", or shard wide "fishing competitions"? For example, instead of filling a Larder with high-quality food, before the event occurs, I'm thinking it would be more fun if people worked together to add high-quality food during the event. I've also heard an opinion that people wouldn't attend the event if there was low-quality food at the start, so please let me know your ideas here. I'm also thinking of events where New Players learn about Botanizing and Foraging during the event, perhaps, at the beginning of the event, and help we help them in any way they can. We need new, funny, and/or interesting, ideas new players can understand. Are our Impalongs teaching fishing, cooking, surviving, weapons, and armor properly? If not, we shall work together to achieve this for our player base. I do not want asks for help at this time. In July, @thicketand, I will determine if we're able to host an impalong in October. Assuming we do, I do know I need to work on a calendar that works 24x7, and I will be working on that. I do admire the Deliverance impalong team for redoing DealOrNoDeal, along with other things. I'm still watching their Day #1 at: https://www.twitch.tv/fabricant/video/1787305992 If you have any ideas on this post, let me know! Thanks, Vooch Mayor, New Festival Cove https://NewFestivalCove.com
  14. Thank you, to everyone, for fixing this tonight.
  15. I'd like to know why this Yaga map is useful. When i look at it, it does not show New Festival Cove, Independence, on the map, even though it has a history in Wurm. Please advise.
  16. Thank you, @Keenan. You rock!!
  17. Well, @John9992or, the winner of this auction, I'll buy two of the kingdom flags for 2s and two of the kingdom banners for 2s each. if that helps you or another bid. I'll bid 20s for the wagon, but no more. So, mix-n-match, I'll buy these pieces at these prices and reduce costs for anyone.... Of course, I'll either need these mailed to me cod or delivered to New Festival Cove at zero coast. - Vooch
