  1. I was a day late on the sub too, mine ran out for the first time in a long while and I waited a week to renew because I've been busy at work. Sort of sucks after playing so long to miss out on an anniversary thing.
  2. It can go join the "Please fix the creature spawn on Xanadu" thread in the congrats for one year of being ignored bin.
  3. I don't see why this is a bad thing. As long as the end result is a ban then let people attention seek all they want on the way down.
  4. My parents were eaten by a bear, please remove bears from game, tia.
  5. This game would be perfect without the players, can we have those removed?

  6. Fishing net

    Depends replied to a topic in Suggestions & Ideas

    If someone bumps an old thread people cry about thread necroing, if they make a new thread they are told "this has been suggested, learn to use the search" The only winning move is not to play.
  7. If the brightness was toned down, the textures changed to make it easier to see the difference between tile types and the snow removed from my house floors I'd not HATE it but I still wouldn't like it. I have yet to see anyone say " I don't even want to log in during the summer" but I have seen a lot of people say that about the winter. I don't really care for the fall textures either but they aren't as bad as the winter ones. The long distance grass one is the worst. If it ends up being balanced out in length just add an option selection to another season, winter people are happy, summer people are happy.
  8. Once there is an expectation of behavior that is openly enforced it becomes easier because people know they won't get away with what they do now. It's terrible and mildly confusing that you were forced to read and contribute to a discussion you weren't interested in.
  9. Stopping the bickering, troll or derail when they start instead of letting the thread go from a discussion to an argument then locking it would do wonders. More visible moderation would also improve things, instead of hiding posts and behind the scenes clean up, say something. Point out the bad posts and use them as examples of what not to do.
  10. Both locking and removing posts should be last resort. Normally you'd see moderators guiding the conversation away from the point where a thread is irredeemable. The main purpose of a moderator is to keep discussion going not to stop it. That said, some threads start out irredeemable, and some posters are known for trolling a thread with the intent of derailing and getting it locked. Curbing both of those earlier instead of letting something run to the point that they tend to get to around here would make things a lot friendlier.
  11. This has been my experience many times in the past. Semi-recently I asked someone who had moved a highway near me what their plan was. I was told I'd better get used to change because as he said "More of my friends are coming and we'll own this whole area soon enough. After that no one is coming through." Sure enough about 2 months later I came back through and all the small deeds in the area had been disbanded and it was 4 or 5 huge deeds with the entire area walled off. The local people who'd lived there before said they were harassed and closed off until they either quit or moved.
  12. I wouldn't hold your breath.
  13. Alternatively, fix bug rendering the ducks invisible.
  14. Don't forget the broken spawns on Xanadu, hunting sucks in the southern half of the map.
  15. Do what Noiz said for optimal gains. I think you've mentioned this in nearly every post you've made since.
  16. There has to be an economy for it to hurt one.
  17. So your solution is adapt to the bugs rather than fix the bugs? I moved to Xanadu the first day of the server, mob spawns were fine. Anyone new coming in now would be unaware of the bugged spawns. That is two groups of players who have to adapt to your preferred play style. If the situation is fixed and there are hostile mobs near your deed, you can build towers and hire guards. What is my solution? Move? You are also assuming that once (if) it's fixed, the entire map would be blanketed solid with mobs. On Indy this isn't the case at all and it wasn't like this on Xanadu when the server opened. I've spent many hours in the past running around on a naked alt exploring the server, very rarely was I not able to avoid mobs. Usually the only time I would die was when I was trying to climb a mountain and something saw me.
  18. There are ways to deal with too many mobs but short of moving away there isn't really a way to deal with too few. My get info earlier had 1 hostile mob, on top of a mountain, no one hunting there in months. 2 more days and this thread will be a year old. About 8 months before that is when Erik was looking into the problem.
  19. I just assumed people in Wurm were amphibians which explains how they go through so much water.
  20. Wurm's economy has never been doing well. I would like to see new uses for different metals though. Being able to make tools and weapons from some of the other ores would make things easier for some people.
  21. There were threads in the past suggesting to disallow those type of replies but most people are lazy and the mods didn't want any extra work. Would sure make things nicer though.
  22. Especially after even a few tiles of random sloping you can have a serious mismatch where 2 tunnels meet even if they started at the same level. I mined a 50x50 square once and made the mistake of mining around the perimeter first, when I mined back around to the starting spot the floor was more than 20 slope difference. I've posted a couple threads about it over the years but was accused of either trying to take away business from Mag priests or trying to turn the game into easy mode (because everyone knows that crooked floors make the game challenging and fun).
  23. Both Guild Wars games do it. I know I've been able to do it in other games but can't remember any names off hand.
  24. Food decay really needs to be a little less random and the penalty for keeping it in your inventory should be removed. It was only added because people were storing all their hot meals on alts because they'd never cool down or decay in your inventory and instead of fixing the problem properly someone just made it more annoying for everyone.
  25. I thought the suggestion of a lunchbox a couple years back was a useful idea. Something that would keep a single medium sized meal from decaying for a while in your inventory, maybe keep it warm for longer.
