In the past 10 days I have had three animals "escape" from pens on my "zoo deed" - luckily I have found them quickly but that isn't the point. First was a hell horse, then I have had a couple of my cave bugs escape (luckily I have them double gated, so they got out of the pen, but not the cave), then there was one of my gorillas (whos gates are obviously locked to prevent them just walking off) and today one of my lurking rams fancied a walk.. Looking back through the forum, it seems that I reported the same thing at the end of oct 2021 and was told in 2023 that the team were aware and were "looking into it" - I am just really looking to see if it had been fixed but has returned or if it is the same issue. I have (with the help of many friends) got a good collection of statused/GM named animals on my zoo deed and I am concerned about loosing them. Many thanks

please can I take the rift crystals at 75Ql please (the 28) - thanks

As my husband (Moteandbailey) has already said, I logged in, saw "the mess" and logged out in despair.... I was actually excited for this update, the nodes in principal are a fab inclusion to the game and can make "flat" landscapes so much more interesting visually.....BUT when I have spent an age getting a pretty and tidy deed, to log in and see "junk" all over the place broke me, I am more than a touch OCD so things like this really bother me, and before the chorus of "just hire a templar" no thank you.... I have lost several of my bred aggro pets to templars despite the "no attack" setting being on, and despite it being a glitch have been unable to have these retrieved from beyond the veil. As Mote said, I breed Aggros (mainly hell horses, but also bears etc for sale) and have a zoo showcasing all kinds of creatures, including unique mobs from events, and if I have a templar on there, and it goes rogue, I would quit the game entirely (now given we have in excess of 2g a month deed upkeep, you can imagine how hard this would hit pockets if we just quit) Is it really too much to ask to have a non-combative NPC that could be hired to keep things tidy, why make it a templar? it doesn't make sense when so many of us keep aggro animals... QoL updates are by definition meant to improve players lives... well this ones poorly thought out implementation has destroyed mine and my drive to play... please, for the sake of all of us with OCD who can't or won't hire templars, come up with another solution so we can get back to playing the game we love without risking the "lives" of our pets.

Hiya, Don't know if this is a problem but since the hotfix, a lot of the spawns from the wishing tree have appeared dead [16:05:08] A hell horse has been called into existence somewhere near the Wishing Tree.. [16:09:20] <Cariad> [16:07:48] You get a corpse of aged hell horse. Nothing in combat, no-one near them, just dead.... several of us there are collecting the spawns but now are collecting corpses... This is just the latest one, there have been wolves, wildcats, and bears too - would really appreciate someone taking a look

HEADS UP! The timer is out - the slaying is in approx 35 mins or so.... IGNORE the timer - and go by the typed time of 2PM

As it is my post you have highlighted as the turning point - I will respond. I was not there, I was not involved in the slay in any way other than knowing the finder. I wasn't objecting to people wanting an explanation of why the slay was delayed/moved/postponed - I was asking them to show a little compassion in the light of the FACT that no-one knew exactly what was going on... and certain statements by certain individuals were coming across as an attack on a friend whom I KNEW would have been there if he possibly could be. I know some of the "man behind the keyboard" I know about some of the things in his RL, so I was making the point that as none of us KNEW what was happening, there were any number of situations, that COULD be happening... as sadly, was the case for Trison... it could just have easily been the situation for Kardi... I understand the disappointment, I understand there was frustration, but as has been pointed out, there was no need for comments making accusations like "wasting peoples time" - Kardi didn't waste anyone's time, no-one forced anyone to stay, that was a personal choice of each player... and I observed that the making of such comments made it clear to me, why so many people are starting to decide it is better for private slayings. I have since apologised if I offended, it wasn't my intention, I was angry that a friend was being attacked for something that I was certain wasn't intentional. The point I was trying to make is Real Life always comes before a game, and for Kardi not to be here when he said he would be, meant that there was something very wrong in his RL... be that ill health, isp down, power cut, whatever...

Firstly I am glad that your mum is doing ok, and I am sorry your family have to go through this! I can't imagine how scary that must have been. Secondly, thank you for sharing your story - it proves exactly what I was trying to get across yesterday, I am certain that explaining your sudden departure was the furthest from your mind until you had made sure you were doing everything you could for your mum. Its sad how easily people forget that there are real people, with real lives behind the characters we play in these games - and that people become so disconnected from that fact that they feel it is acceptable to put their game experience before any thought of anyone else.

Glad you are ok hun, and good luck with the rescheduled event! I will see if I can make it this time 😉 To those who have issue with my earlier posts, I am sorry if you felt offended and yes I possibly could have worded it better - but with phrases like “stop wasting everyone’s time” put my hackles up - I am rather protective of my friends and don’t react well to anything I perceive as an attack on them. Also my final statement in my original response wasn’t directly aimed at the two quoted, but more of a general observation on the whole public vs private debate… So in closing, Kard, you are welcome - if something out of character like this happens I will always have your back. Everyone else, sorry if my protectiveness offended you but I stand by my comments about private versus public and that people need to have a bit more compassion for other who’s RL circumstances are unknown and remember that Wurm (or any game) isn’t always the top priority.
