  1. [13:07:08] You need more favor with your god to cast that spell. [14:07:24] You sense that Vynora is brimming with power. Maybe you can channel it somehow? Usually it gives a "cannot grant that power right now." "or "The god needs more power" message - so I think this means it's ready to be casted. We'll put it off a few hours, but we're definitely going to cast it today. If you need it for benediction, contact either Viceren or Nahimana since we're going to be the most likely casters. You can also post in the forums if you need a spot. We're going to set up the cast within six hours, so Nahimana can be on in case we need him to do the casting. Location of cast: https://cadence.yaga.host/#2811,1812 Summons are available. Current Benediction Priority List: Acrescadence Aaleahya Druidia Niloc Current Helper List: Antireunion Nahimana Azzyj Priority is first come, first serve. Current main caster (Antireunion) has 97 channeling. So up to 10 links.
  2. Rite of Spring

    That can be explained simply by two groups having their interests align. The non-priests who wanted to get the maximum sleep bonus value out of the cast, would coalesce. Not only would they coalesce, but they would vehemently discourage ninja casting through shame tactics. This offered up a great opportunity for actual priests who needed the journal entry - because the intense protective nature of the non-priests who wanted to maximize the value, offered reliability. By taking away the incentive for the non-priests to care. The 'shame' tactic has zero effectiveness. Non-priests are now saying, "Why should I care? I'm not a priest" - While other priests say, "I already got my cast, and I'm Libila so I don't care about Rite of Spring" If this unfortunate side-effect bothers you, the only way forward is to create a coalition of priests who do still care, and enforce shame tactics on ninja casters. Although, with the incentive structure effectively gone - don't expect non-priests to give the slightest crap. Especially since organizing came at a reputation cost as there was a very small but extremely vocal sect of priests who despised waiting for casts who actively denigrated the organizers. If Gamechest/Codeclub actually cares, and wants input as to how to get non-priests to care again - the easiest and fastest fix would be to simply give all players access to the sleep bonus regardless of religion. Of course, this will just anger that small sect of priests who hate waiting again. You can't really win in this case - someone is going to be angry. Another simple, and extremely easy fix, is to give advanced warning. Maybe when the prayer value reaches it's climax for a god, you then include a small timer for everybody to see when the cast is actually castable (1 day? 3days? 7 days?)- and people can organize around that. As for me? I don't care in the slightest. Faith swapping was a pain, but the sleep bonus made it too important to ignore. Now that it's gone, I can just stay Vynora, earn my 10% XP, and leech off of Rite of Spring casts without any effort or input. I am the average non-priest.
  3. Rite of Spring

    People will never understand what they have, until it's gone. Take away the incentive to organize, and people will stop organizing. Luckily for you, you aren't forced to use the global cast for Benediction anymore, it's pretty much just a shortcut to avoid going for 70 Prayer. It's now up to you to decide which poison pill is less painful.
  4. Simply wanting something, does not entitle someone to it. Simply existing, does not entitle someone to what others give. Wurm has always been the type of game that rewards hard work above all else. Everything in Wurm must be earned through painstaking grinding. A haves versus have not argument will flatline here. If you wonder why it is that we support Wurm monetarily in it's current subscription model? It's because many of us are old guard gamers, who absolutely despise Freemium, Pay-to-Win and Gambling models offered by so called "Free to play" games. Many of us pay hundreds to thousands of dollars supporting a game that we get thousands of hours of entertainment and socialization from, specifically to showcase that we're willing to support this game in spite of all of it's flaws, because it didn't give in to predatory monetization schemes that abuse their fans. If you're wondering why you don't get freebies as a "never premiumed before" free character? It's because that is ripe for abuse by bad actors who could make hundreds of alts specifically for the purpose of filling their pockets with the free gifts should those free gifts actually be worth money in game. (Sleds, Elf Statues, Picnic Baskets, etc.)
  5. The moment 200+ people started to climb all at once, the server went haywire. I'll come back in a few hours to see if I can log into my main, because he's stuck in "You're still moving" limbo when trying to log on. Also:
  6. Two lamps. On the exact same corner in an area with ZERO other interior lighting. The saturated colours come from outside lighting. Not interior lighting. On the exact same corner. Standing precisely 3 tiles away at an angle. Using a cauldron as a space for me to stand: 19ql: 52ql:
  7. I just got 90 plate armour smithing and made myself a set of 90ql armour... I'm finally done the grind! ... ... ... No, no, no comrade. You must make 99 more sets of 90ql plate armour before you're done. Otherwise it's back to the brick making gulag for you.
  8. WTB Red or White Tomes at 25s each. I also have the following tomes to trade for them: Blue Tome of Magic Tome of Incineration Libram of the Night Libram of the Night I will be willing to trade tomes one to one. Even including the Librams which sell for more, if it nets me the tomes I want.

  10. Bite my shiny metal...
  11. Furious is an apt word, and it will likely be one that won't fade. I've never once bothered to do another map since then. I probably gather around 20 or 30 maps every week, and I just trade them for sleep powder to offload them. At the very least, it could've given me a worthless, but still fantastic nick-nack like that rare papyrus sheet in return, to serve as a decoration to replace the fantastic map I wasted. Instead, I got nothing. Not even a measly upkeep token. Sadly, rarity does not matter. Neither does clarity, as at the time nobody really knew that rarity didn't matter. I'm sure there was a by-line written somewhere in one of the development update/city hall posts. However, everybody, especially me, expected something wonderful out of that map and that extreme fail pretty much snapped me out of any semblance of fun or enjoyment from that system. I now regard it with vitriol, when I used to praise it. **** the loot boxes.

  13. In real life law, the Statute of Limitations exists for a reason. Facts and proof get muddied the longer a case goes cold, making it impossible to determine anything. I don't know what spurred you to suddenly desire your account back now, but you're well past the point where any honest GM could justifiably make a decision. That means it most likely defaults to you losing your case. If you had your account stolen, it sucks, I'm sorry you had it happen to you - but the possibility that you're trying to reclaim sold property is too strong and barring further proof beyond your word, you might not be able to truly convince anybody to the contrary. Even if you do manage to get public support from the forum community, we're so far removed from the actual case of alleged theft, that the rules and onus on the users have drastically changed in Wurm, so I doubt the GM's could do anything about it anyways. Regardless of how this case ends up. My suggestion is to avoid pestering Enki or the GM's on their ruling. People have been perma-banned for similar stunts in the past.

  15. It's amazing what you can create by removing all forms of context, and cherry picking only what you want.
  16. You aren't a victim if someone loots your defunct deed. They are performing an action that is allowed, and even previously encouraged by the game's original creator and designer. It's mindset of play falls under the realm of exploration and it serves as one of the only two methods for exploration to be profitable in Wurm. Unique locating/trapping being the other, equally contentious method. Taking care of my account, and deed is no different than me making certain that I have a bare minimum of one year's mortgage covered, health insurance and personal injury insurance - that way on the rare chance that I end up in a coma for a year, when I wake up I still have a home to go back to with a family that's been taken care of. Nobody else is going to do it for me. There is no hand-holding in life. Personal responsibility goes a long way. I advocate you take measures to protect yourself in the event of accident or tragedy.
  17. Harsh truths learned from cruel lessons in the past: The game is designed for deeds to be looted. If someone doesn't loot your deed out of guilt. Someone else will out of greed. If you lost your deed's stuff to a looter. It is no longer yours unless a GM intervenes. Mr. Rogers isn't your neighbor. Expect your ruins to be walled up if you have a fantastic forge waiting. My suggestions to avoid this unfortunate outcome: Enlist friends in game to maintain upkeep during unplanned absences. Enlist friends IRL to contact friends in game, to maintain upkeep during emergencies. One year upkeep minimum. Sometimes not even that is enough, double up if you have a history of health problems. Smaller deed sizes last longer. If you only have an oversized deed for the aesthetics, maybe consider downsizing for longevity and cost-effectiveness sake. Mentally prepare yourself with a "Deed it or lose it" mentality. Expect to start over if you break this mantra in any way, shape or form. That's just how the game was designed.
