  1. Map Dump

    I don't know how far back Rolfs backup of JKH go but that could be a great source to create a film of its development. Once the server is closed there is not much of a secret to keep there so that information could be made available to a person who wants to work on such a time lapse.
  2. That's what the quotes are for. I was referring to the exact quoted statement and was pointing out where your idea is flawed. That's not trolling, thats owning in a discussion. Calling me a Troll is just childish "Gnah, I'm not talking to you anymore because you have a different opinion " Showing the planks nailed to the wall... That's an animation that shows how to nail a plank to the wall. And then there's another model that shows a wall with one plank. In total that's 19 more 3D models for the house wall (let alone window and door) and then the animation is off because it does not nail the plank at exactly the spot where the plank is in the 3D model. 19 more animations... Just an example. With the limited resources available for developing the game I think it's a fair tradeoff to simplify some visualizations
  3. What? The game suc erm will never make it because you can't see your char sawing on a log for 2 minutes? I think it'll get annoying too like hearing the sawing sound a few hundred times while building a new house. Great gameplay IMHO is more important than great graphics
  4. the new avatars.

    More like 1250s skirt. I think it fits pretty well into the setting Visible armor ftw. Then you can see your studded leather armor or the chain armor or whatever
  5. I prefer "more challenging".
  6. or you take less water. A flask with a potato and 4 rye will add a drop of water so 1 filet is fine again. If in doubt check if the result will be gulasch or dishwater
  7. Mother was a champ dog and father an alert dog. the mother is listed in the examine message but the father is not maybe because he already died. Since the child is male I might try to breed it with the normal dogs and see what the result will be.
  8. The way it looks

    Is there a timeline when the changes will happen? There is currently not much else to do but hunting, grinding and preparing for the move. *puts away the pickaxe*
  9. Nutrition FAQ

    tea is still possible. 1 camellia + very low amount of water in a sauce pan gives tea. tried it before. For the water I used the potato + 4 rye in a flask trick to get 0.005kg water. With this low amount of water it's possible to create gulasch from 1 filet too.
  10. try to make a gulasch and not some runny soup. 11 filets + water gives gulasch
  11. Food change feedback

    I have 18hfc now and so are my meals. I can very easily supply myself and my alt with food. A 3kg meal will fill me up pretty well and is easy to make in batch. Inside a large barrel they did not show the same insane decay as in then inventory. And for those who have very low hfc they can work on gulasch and casseroles. I think it's easier to cook and eat lots of gulasch to fill to 100% than feeding the pigs with it because your body refuses it at 40%.
  12. Well, I'd rather buy 10s from the shop than dig sand for a week. If you have a rare item (eg a gem) which is worth a bit then even new players can make a little fortune from it. I'd rather make the gem random level and not tie it to the players mining level. Edit: In Eternal Lands, another MMORPG, a precious rare item would prevent losing any stuff you carry on death except for the stone. This item is found while mining and new players who find that item suddenly have some badly wanted money. I'm thinking about something like that. I don't expect people to start foraging to collect like 10 of these items. But 100 players foraging from time to time will yield some of these rare items and redistribute some wealth
  13. You want to move money from the top player to new players. They can't supply anything useful than time and work labour. So you'd need something that's extremly time consuming to produce from the raw ingredients. Someone mentioned self lighting lamps. Those could for instance light because of a substance found through foraging maybe 100s of bioluminescent mushrooms. If someone wants such a lamp he'd most likely pay money to newer players for foraging that stuff. This moves money from the players who have money to those who are pretty new in the game an thus creating a circulation of coins. Other examples are possible too like with gems.
  14. Disabling imping would totally whack the economy. The main difference between RL and Wurm economy is the skill gain. People are spamming stuff to gain skill. Luckyly you can still improve them and get skill too otherwise we'd end up with a massive overproduction of swords, arrows and everything just like we have with bow strings.
  15. Sounds!

    It would be great to be able to adjust the sound options in game. sound_al_gain is good to adjust the volume but sometimes I'd like to switch off the ambient sound or the tool sound too
  16. Got that? Discussion and a timeline. Not a quick decision while having lunch and a rushed implementation with bugs.
  17. The change came without warning. Some tokens were freely accessible before and easy targets. Now we had two laggy days to to build first defenses according to the rule set which now changed again. That work is pretty much useless again. This game was supposed to fun and recreation in your free time. Now you'll have to be able to get online anytime to be able to push back an raid?
  18. But the EU laws on consumer protection apply. Regardless of GB, Luxemburg or Sweden. It's all EU
  19. Paypal has registered as a financial institude in Great Britain too. GB and Sweden are in the EU so legally this is basicly one country. And the EU has pretty strict laws to protect the customers. I think complaints with Paypal could harm Rolfs business pretty bad. But about the legal grounds one can only speculate. - You have virtual posessions you've invested in which value changed because of this change. Although this is hard to prove. - The offered service did change severly. This should give everybody the right to cancel the subscription with a refund of the remaining subscription fee.
  20. Raids on Homeserver

    LOL , sorry it will be a loooong way off So two weeks are a loooong time. Hope other features that are promised in a loooong time like bridges will happen as quick as this.
  21. Unfortunatly that's not what people do. They read "free to play" and don't intend on paying at first. Once they've changed their mind it's already to hard to move on. I started like this on JKH too, played a feew days and thought it would be much cooler to be able to do the prem stuff to. Luckily that included keeping my little crappy farm. I think the solution of offering those players a new free home in expanding villages on MRH is a pretty good way of "luring" them from GV to the open spaces of MRH
