Hello all, please bare with me as I try to explain my idea. It's one that I have voiced to several pvp players and had good feedback and thus it was suggested I make a post on here. My suggestion is based on Defiance and the NFI cluster. However I'm sure most of these ideas could be adjusted (somehow) and implimented on SFI or epic as well, however for this post I'll be specifically talking about the NFI cluster. BATTLE RANK Firstly change it so there is no battle rank decay. Long gone are the days when any pvp server had enough population to sustain the current system. A select few people who put in a lot of effort and roamed daily in the kingdom that was doing the best on the Defiance launch were able to make the cut and got the Warrior title (10 players got it in BL). Only two players have had it in JK with a great amount of effort way beyond playing casually. I realise it is meant to be a difficult achivement however that was just the first title unlocked where you only need 100 rank. At 500 rank is the next title and then 900 for the 3rd! Even with players actively roaming daily on a pvp server where it can go weeks (or months) between major fights some players have lost out to the battle rank titles due to reasons completely out of their control. One player got banned for about 2 hours accidently because a GM made a mistake, the ban completely reset their battle rank. Also during the full raid ban (that one time Friede become mayor of Malice after Johnny dropped the deed writ on death lul) a lot of people were close and by the time the raid ban was lifted almost everyone was back down to 0. So my suggestion would be to completely remove decay and even add it in so that claiming a battlecamp, draining an enemy deed or looting a roaming depo gives +1 rank. PVE COSMETIC REWARDS For those that play on NFI there is no way to bring back home their trophies and loot. On many MMORPG's (take WoW for example) they offer a system to earn cosmetic rewards over time to reward the players for taking the time to actively go out and pvp. Anything other then cosmetic rewards would just be too much and I'd hate to see item transfer between Defiance and Freedom. However what if we had a reward system like the premium marks or like the Rift Points? What if we used battlerank as the counter for how many points you have to spend? It could be a system exactly the same as the other two. All you would need to do is right click on the mailbox.. select pvp rewards and there could be a list of cosmetic items such as skins. We already have the graphics for the different wagons ingame, the kingdom skins for wagons could be on there as well as flags, banners, military tents. Hell why not even have some super high point rewards for having the crown as a skin to put on an open helm since the model is already in the game. These are all just ideas of course. HOTA TITLES Before the HOTA (hunt of the ancients) changed there used to be several titles available for the winning team. 5 titles in total rewarded for being part of the winning alliance 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 times. Because the system changed these titles are no longer working and it would be nice to see them changed so that now perhaps if you capture a battlecamp that results in a win that counts as 1. Do it 20 times and that's all of the titles. I'm not sure if the hota titles not working is simply just a bug but if it isn't it would be nice to see them in the game again. So that's it, would love some feedback or other ideas. The whole point of this suggestion is to try to offer incentives to come over onto Defiance and PVP and to try to make the server a little more active. Give people some goals to work towards whether it's for title hunters or cosmetic hunters since aside from skilling (which arguebly is better on freedom because of PoK) and hunting for sleep powder (which is a rare drop) there is not much of a reason to play on Defiance especially for someone new.

So... How many PvP based players have WURMed there way over to PvE based side as of recent ?

In short, players are heavily rewarded for playing on PvE servers, whilst a lot of people feel there is little reason to play on Defiance unless there is an active PvP engagement occurring. This is super unhealthy for the PvP community, and if changes aren’t made, the population on Defiance will eventually die. Some of the reasons people frequently choose to play on Freedom rather than Defiance include: More frequent rites, and therefore more sleep bonus. There are a lot more rite casts on Freedom than on Defiance due to the higher population and more concentrated number of Vynora priests. Risk free crafting. Risk free hunting. Items you make can be sold for silver, whereas on Defiance people are more likely to provide items for free. Ease of crossing between Defiance and Freedom. Instead of the Chaos/Freedom isles relationship; where you must sail between servers (which is a risk in itself), portals currently allow you to cross at a moment’s notice in order to respond to PvP. The Path of Knowledge level 11 ability which grants 25% bonus skill gain. This is unattainable on Defiance. Essentially, playing on Freedom just makes a lot of sense for the individual, but if everyone does the same, this has a negative impact on the PvP community. Usually high difficulty is rewarded in Wurm, as it should be, which is why I suggest adding incentives to play on PvP rather than removing features from Freedom: Hunting should ALWAYS be good on PvP. Right now it is terrible, particularly in the south. Spawns should be crazy high. Starter zones could be spared so new players don’t get overwhelmed. Rites could have halved requirements on PvP, and scale with number of active priests in that religion. (Or a timed cooldown, half requirements on PvP might still mean more casts on Freedom). Looting battle camps could give 1 hr sleep bonus to all in local. Valrei missions: If the Defiance server rewards are as the same on Freedom it’d make no sense, as there’s no risk to completing Valrei missions on Freedom. On Defiance, these missions should be more frequent, they should encourage going into enemy lands, and they should give lots of sleep bonus and other rewards for all participants. (My suggestion is keep Valrei missions the same as they currently are on Freedom, but buff the rewards on PvP. Note that this DOES NOT mean adding moon metals or similar to the PvP Valrei rewards.) Exclusive skins that can only be acquired on the PvP server. These could be gained through Valrei missions, HoTA rewards, or maybe as rewards for having high battle rank. These skins could be transferable to the Freedom servers to allow people to show off their pvp-gotten-gains. Some sort of penalty to using a PvP portal, a timed CR nerf or similar. Increased skill gain? Nothing as drastic as Epic, but instead a 10% bonus to all skillgain. These are just some ideas thrown out there as examples, as there are plenty of other ways to increase incentive. Feel free to add more suggestions, like, comment, subscribe, etc. It should also be noted that this thread links up with this one here:

Hello I'm Knople, I'd like to suggest the ability to use the myriad variety of traps available to us on mobs as well as on players. (we have so many trap options, it'd be nice to use them, not only on players) My reasoning is there are likely players similar to me who are either not very good at combat, prefer to gather sprung traps, or like to bait hunt. I am unaware as to how coding would be used to implement the ability for traps to be usable on mobs, but perhaps it might be possible to add and additional "if, then" for the trap to recognize mob code as well as player code as an addendum. (I believe it should be fairly easy code wise, but again i don't know what I don't know so take my super simplified idea with a grain of salt.) Thank you for your time. -Knople

Discord | Niarja | Twin Peaks Map | Legacy Map | Arena Map Basic Server Information Action Timers: 5x Skill Gain: 3x Map Size: 2048x2048 PvE, 1024x1024 PvP Creatures: 50,000 PvE, 7,000 PvP Field Growth: 2 hours Wyvern Mods Bounty - Bounty is calculated off creature strength, not pre-set by set values. The stronger a creature is, the more money you will earn for defeating it. This is algorithmic and not pre-set. Strong creatures also have a chance to drop special Crystals, which is a subsystem within itself. Champion creatures can drop special loot, including enchanted tools, moon metal, masks, and even a bone. Currency is deposited directly into your bank. Mastercraft Achieving 90+ skill and then going further is now more worthwhile than ever. Skills over 90 affect skill checks, reducing the difficulty further as you increase skill above 90. At 99, the curve increases, up to double the effect at 100 than you would have at 99. Rarity of tools now provide a similar bonus, decreasing the difficulty of skill checks per rarity level. These changes use the player's actual skill, not epic curved skill. Custom Creatures - New and existing creatures are enabled on the server, adding variety. Typed Creatures - Creatures can spawn with random types even outside of a den. This includes bred animals. You can randomly attain a champion hell horse from 2 non-champion hell horses. Epic creatures: Sol Demons and Worgs have been enabled as natural spawns. Lava Fiends spawn naturally in sandy areas. Charger - A large, spectral hell horse. Non-aggressive, and capable of being lead without taming or dominating. It spawns frequently in steppe and rarely in sand areas. The charger is very specifically meant as an easily obtained "speed" mount. It is also a large stallion, giving the player a higher seat and providing a height advantage in combat. To offset the ease of use, there are two drawbacks: It requires 37 body control to mount, and has negative natural armour, meaning it will take more damage than even an ungeared horse would. Chargers can also be equipped with gear, so their potential speeds can be higher than Wyverns. Chargers can be bred with other chargers. There is also the possibility of dens for chargers, allowing them to be typed (fierce, greenish, even champion). These can of course also be bred into the Chargers. Large Boar - Low-Medium difficulty creature. Spawns in deserts and forests. Inflicts crushing wounds. Forest Spider - Medium difficulty creature. Spawns in the forest near grass and trees. Can inflict poison wounds. Spirit Troll - Medium-High difficulty creature. Spawns in snow. Can inflict frost wounds. Giant - High difficulty creature. Spawns near grass and trees. Can inflict acid wounds. Avenger - High difficulty creature. Spawns in tundra. Can inflict frost wounds. Horned Pony - High difficulty creature. Spawns on enchanted grass (haha good luck). Inflicts internal wounds through the magic of its horn. Can be tamed, dominated, mounted, lead, and bred. Climbs up to 80 slope as a mount, and is between horses and wyverns in speed, but can be equipped with both saddle and horse shoes. Requires 35 body control to ride. Facebreyker - A custom unique creature, dropping a unique item and blood when defeated. Wyverns - High difficulty creature. Different types spawn in different areas. Wyverns are small dragonkin creatures that serve as mounts. They are amphibious mounts, and can be ridden across water without dismounting. Wyverns are small dragonkin creatures that serve as mounts. Wyverns generally inflict elemental wounds according to their color. Wyverns can usually be tamed, dominated, mounted, lead, and bred. Climbs up 100+ slopes as a mount, and is slightly faster than Chargers without gear. Wyverns require relatively high (30-45) body control to mount, depending on type. Custom Items - Many custom items to improve quality of life, or simply give players end-game gambling to create that truly epic item they've always wanted. Affinity Orb - Grants the player a random affinity when consumed. Enchant Orb - Comes with a random enchant. Can be consumed to transfer the enchant to any item. Depth Drill - Drills a tile corner, revealing the amount of dirt until you hit rock. Beyond that, it can also locate nearby ores. Disintegration Rod - Sold at a merchant, this removes 1000 hits from any vein (no ore is provided), or instantly destroys a cave wall (like the Disintegrate spell). PMK Wagons, Banners, and Flags - Art from PMK's in Wurm Online can be crafted on Wyvern Reborn. Like the art from The Crusaders? You can make it here, then mix and match that with an Ebonaura wagon. Chaos Crystals - Dropped from powerful creatures, this is a volatile crystal that can be infused on items for a variety of outcomes. It can increase rarity, or destroy the item outright. Uses the "Artifacts" skill. Enchanters Crystals - Dropped from powerful creatures, this crystal can adjust the enchant properties of an item. Uses the "Artifacts" skill. Mass Storage Unit - A massive storage unit designed to hold multiple BSB's, FSB's, chests, and crates, all in one neat window. Crafted with over 70 Fine Carpentry. Arrow Packs - Craft 40 arrows and a quiver into an arrow pack. Improve the arrow pack, then unpack to receive a quiver with 40 arrows of the QL of the arrow pack. This also transfers any enchants from the Arrow Pack to all 40 arrows. Titans - Legendary creatures exist exclusively on Wyvern Arena, obtaining special abilities and dropping epic items. Titans are designed to cripple groups of players attempting them. If you are interested in looting easy-to-kill players, look for the messages in GL-Freedom and interrupt their attempt. Titans cause lightning in the sky from where it's being fought. A single player should be capable of killing multiple who are attempting a Titan. Titans have unique abilies and "raid mechanics" that players need to be aware of. Many are not telegraphed, but they do need to be reacted to. Mindlessly hitting the the titan until they're dead like a normal unique is not a viable strategy. Titans will drop a single "Titan Weapon" upon defeat - these weapons generally break the rules of the game and in general have higher stats than normal weaponry. They do, however, come with a downside of being un-improvable. They can be repaired. Titans do not regenerate. Keep this in mind when attempting one, as it may be wise to back off, regroup, and re-enter combat in some situations. The titans specifically move extremely slow, so outrunning them, even on foot, should be possible. All Titans spawn minions to aid them. These creatures have extremely high sight (meaning they chase very far) and move very quickly. Armoury: Weapons & Armour Rework - All the weapon and armour systems have been reworked from the ground up for Wyvern Reborn. Minimum swing timer is 2 seconds instead of 3 seconds. This opens up the opportunity for extremely fast-attacking weaponry to make its way into combat. Knives are now an acceptable weapon. Armour Damage Reduction has been reduced - No more 80% flat damage reduction. The highest available is the new Glimmerscale set at 72%, and it is extremely hard to obtain. With values now lower than before, it opens the opportunity to actually use the glance rate and damage effectiveness bonuses from the lower damage reduction armours. Dual Wield has been reworked - There is now a reason to wield two weapons. The offhand now swings at precisely 1/2 it's normal speed, and that's it. No more crazy amount of checks and balances and random numbers being thrown into the mix, just a really simple dual wield system that works and is effective to a point. Weapon Rarity - Weapon rarity matters, reducing swing timer by 0.2 seconds per rarity level. Shield Enchants - Aura of Shared Pain now functions on shields. However, you will need to cast a damage enchant as well to make it function: Rotting Touch, Flaming Aura, Frostbrand, or Venom. The damage aura determines the type and amount of damage that gets reflected on block, and Aura of Shared Pain power determines the chances the reflect will work. Phasing - Shields are absolutely required in vanilla mechanics to remain competitive in PvP. This is no longer the case (sort of). With the dual wield changes and a new spell, "Phasing", you can now penetrate the shield of a defender quite easily. The Phasing enchant competes with WoA/BotD/Nimbleness for an enchant slot. As an effect, it increases the difficulty of the defender to block with shields when attacking with that weapon. This, combined with the faster swing timer, makes shields much easier to penetrate and deal real damage to the opponent. Weapon Rebalancing - Polearms have been buffed. Axes have been improved. The whole system has undergone drastic adjustments and the weaponry meta is entirely different on Wyvern Reborn. New Weapons: Warhammer - 1 handed weapon, uses Warhammer skill. Slow attack speed, but hits extremely hard. Knuckles - 1 handed weapon, uses Weaponless Fighting skill. Extremely fast attack speed, somewhat weak damage. Club - 1 handed weapon, uses Huge Club skill. Moderate attack speed, moderate damage. Long Spears are now 1 handed weapons. New Armour: Spectral Armour - Crafted from the hide of Spectral Drakes, this armour is lighter than any other. Requires high leatherworking to create and is generally quite scarce. Glimmerscale Armour - Glimmerscales are crafted from a metallurgy between dragon scales and glimmersteel. Once created, 10kg of glimmerscale is used to create a set of glimmerscale armour, the highest damage reduction armour available. Movement speed penalty, however, is inbetween plate and dragonscale. Spellcraft: Spell System Rework - All spells have had a balance pass and been tweaked to custom server settings. Maximum faith increased to 200 - This opens up a whole new world of possibilities, including casting high-favor spells like Life Transfer without a link. Minimum Priest Faith reduced to 10 - You can now become a priest at 10 faith. You'll be able to cast spells and work on channeling earlier than ever before. Favor Gain Rework - Favor regeneration now ticks once per second, instead of once per 10 seconds, for smaller amounts. Overall favor regen has been increased. Rite Reworks - Rites now have special additional benefits to encourage casting them. Furthermore, they require less overall prayers to cast, and can be cast more frequently. Examine Creature Spell Effects - You can examine a creature and see it's spell effects. (Truehit has been cast on it, so it has combat vision and aiming. [28]) Improved Negating Effect Messages - When casting enchants, the message explaining why you cannot cast over something else is now very specific. ([21:01:43] The longsword is already enchanted with Blessings of the Dark which would negate the effect of Wind of ages.) Spell Changes: Light of Fo has increased cast difficulty, reducing its effectiveness in combat. Scorn of Libila no longer requires enemies to be damaged, and instead heals 2 wounds on all allies on every cast. Dozens of spells have had their faith requirement, difficulty, cast times, or favor costs adjusted. New Spells: Harden - Enchantment for any item, reduces the amount of damage the item takes with use. Phasing - Enchantment for weapons. Defenders will have a harder time shield blocking attacks from a Phasing weapon. Competes with WoA/BotD/Nimbleness for enchant group. Bag of Holding - Enchantment for containers. Increases the size of the container, allowing it to store up to 4 times the initial amount based on power. Summon Soul - Allows a player to summon another player. Very useful for unique slayings. Replenish - Vynora only. Cast on a liquid container to have it automatically refill with water. Works on fountains, barrels, buckets, waterskins, etc. Libila Enabled - Libila is completely enabled across all maps on the server, as well as all features that come with her, such as mycelium and zombies. Kingdom Offices - An item called a Creature Token will drop from aggressive creatures you slay. These can be crafted into other types of tokens which can be "bid" for offices. These are the Kingdom Titles generally reserved for PvP Kingdoms/PMK's, such as Royal Priest, Royal Avenger, etc. A minimum bid of 10 is required to obtain the title. From that point forward, whoever has the highest bid obtains the title. Custom Deities - Two player gods have ascended, Breyk and Cyberhusky. These deities were hand-crafted, from their passives to their spell lists. They are not randomly generated. Breyk - White Light, Industrial, Nature-Focused. Designed to have some of the best enchants the gods have to offer. Oakshell, Excel, Truehit, and the plethora of other combat buffs in Breyk's arsenal are meant to be utilized in conjunction with their enchants. Combined with Cure Light and Scorn of Libila for a minor off-healing role, Breyk is intended as a "support" role for other players in combat. Cyberhusky - Black Light, Warrior, Combat-Focused. Starting with the "Warrior" attribute for 25% increased damage in combat, it's immediately clear what Cyberhusky is meant for. Designed with the unique combination of Dominate and Rebirth, you can bring a powerful creature into combat, then use it again after it's slain. Backed up with some of the best combat spells including Drain Health, Drain Stamina, and Light of Fo, Cyberhusky is meant to be in the fray at all times. Unique Creature Improvements Rapid Uniques - Uniques spawn very frequently, allowing uniques to be slain on a near-daily basis and making drake/scale more attainable. Treasure Boxes - Any player that deals damage to a unique is granted a treasure box. These can be opened for a cache of random loot, so players are not left with simply a blood to show for their efforts. Moon Metal Vein Blessings - When a unique is slain, it blesses the world with 20 adamantine/glimmersteel veins. This improves moon metal availability as the server progresses and makes moon metal a "renewable" resource. Reapers & Spectral Drakes - After a unique dies, in its wake spawns a special creature. Spectral Drakes for dragons/hatchlings, and Reapers for the rest. Upon defeat, they will grant an affinity orb (consumed for an affinity) and enchant orb (random enchant from 90-120 power with a 1-time transfer to any item of your choice). This allows players to get multiple affinities outside of PvP, and gives players an alternative to casting for high enchants. Increased Armour - Uniques have had their armour increased across the board. They're not as trivial as other servers, and will require effort to slay. Extra Corpse Loot - Dragons and hatchlings now have extra chunks of hide and scale on their corpse, providing more loot to give away than just a rare bone. Movement Tweaks Mounts and vehicles can now climb significantly more slope, up to 150 in some cases. Boats are much faster and generally more affected by wind speed. Vehicles have had their speed increased across the board. New mounts are available to hitch to your wagons and carts. Quality of Life - There are over 2 years of QoL changes from Wyvern. Here's a few: Fatigue Action Override - You can now make fatiguing actions from vehicles and mounts. Improve from a horse. Build from your wagon. Sow from your cart. You no longer need to "be on solid ground" to do that anymore. Leather and Logs can now be combined, allowing you to save a good enchant. Rarity system has been significantly improved. Fantastic items are now more attainable. Life Transfer no longer clashes with damage mods. Life Transfer stacks with every other enchant. Sickles and Staves can be crafted from moon metals. Statuette QL and rarity now impacts spellcasting. Shields can take less than 0.01 damage when you block. Added a "Receive all mail" button to mailboxes. It will automatically accept up to the first 100 non-CoD mails that were sent to you and place them directly into the mailbox. Added an "Unequip all armour" button when interacting with equipped items. It will... well... unequip all your armour. Eye and Face shots are redirected to head shots. This makes open helms and similar headgear viable, not a handicap. Food and drink timed affinities are now universal. If you get a Fletching affinity from a drink you make, so will everyone else. Damage taken by items over 90 have been re-scaled. An item improved to QL100 is immune to damage and will never decay. Loot Assistance messages are broadcast when a unique creature is slain, randomly ordering participants for loot distribution (if it's wanted by the slaying group). It also displays rough estimates of how much damage each player did to the creature. Creatures born on enchanted grass have a random trait removed immediately on birth (like an auto-genesis). Mailboxes, Trash Heaps, Altars, and Bell Towers can be loaded for transport. Body action to check your bank balance. Public Mods Ash Produce - Ash will be automatically generated over time from forges. Bag of Holding - A spell for all priests that enlarges the size of containers. Better Digging - Dirt is dug directly to your cart/wagon into crates, or dropped directly on the ground. Bigger Houses - Doubles the maximum size of houses you can create. Bulk Transport - Removes the limit on moving items to/from bulk storage containers. Craftable Pauldrons - All pauldrons are able to be crafted, with the right amount of skill. Creature Age - Bred creatures grow to the Mature stage faster, enabling players to ride sooner after they're born. Crop Mod - Fields do not wither. Fire Burn Time - Shows an indicator when examining a lit object of how long it's expected to last. Harvest Helper - Announce harvest seasons on player login. Inbreed Warning - Provide players with a warning if they try to breed related animals. Increase Merchant Items - Merchants can hold up to 100 items. Meditate Mod - Guaranteed meditation success, no 10 tile movement requirement, and 1/10th path delay. Spell Mod - Removes priest restrictions. Stable Master - Allow for animal transfer between islands. Starter Gear - Improved set of starting equipment for new players. Timer Fix - Improves timer actions and removes bugs related to Wurm Unlimited regarding enchants. Treasure Maps - Players can find or buy treasure maps and go treasure hunting. Once they find the marked spot, they can dig up the treasure, defeat the mobs, and unlock their loot! Wyvern Arena Wyvern Arena is our 1k by 1k PvP environment. It is meant as a hunting/roaming server, and not as a kingdom warfare server. Epic Curve. Players on Wyvern Arena enjoy the benefit of the epic curve, increasing skills to allow them to fight more in line with higher-skilled players. Kingdoms and Deeds are disabled. You're free to build if you wish, but it will not be defended by NPC guards. Bounty and Fight Skill increased. Creatures in Wyvern Arena reward 2.5x bounty and fight skill when slain. Faith and Meditation on kill. Creatures in Wyvern Arena reward a meditation tick and mild faith gain when slain. Crystal Multiplier. Creatures in Wyvern Arena drop 3x as many crystals as those on the PvE environment. Farwalker Twigs & Stones disabled. Due to the nature of the Arena, twigs and stones are disabled. Teleport and Escape. Players on the PvE server can teleport to the Arena using a 1-minute channel body action. They can then escape using a 2-minute body action from the PvP server, returning them to the PvE environment. The escape is blocked by enemies in local. Server Rules Intentional Griefing will not be tolerated. Macros are allowed under the condition the player is actively monitoring their character. Our definition of "Macro" is when the game is being impacted when the player is not there. Using mods that do multiple actions is fine. Something that automatically does those actions when you are not present is unacceptable. You must be present and playing, otherwise it may be considered a macro. Be respectful - we wont be removing anything, except seriously offensive or pornographic material. Feel free to express yourself, but common sense is key. Client modifications are allowed. I personally encourage the use of client mods that make life easier, such as LiveMap and All of Bdew's Client Modifications. WurmESP and similar are also allowed. Any client mods which negatively impact other players are advised against and will be dealt on a case-by-case basis. Flyhacks, speedhacks, and similar are forbidden and being caught using them will result in immediate ban without appeal.

With MR getting steamrolled on Chaos right now, I can't help but remember the many kingdoms that have quit the server. Usually it ends with a marathon siege of deed disassembly and repeat kills of defenders until defenders have no gear to fight with, or no desire to lose anymore. I think it is unlikely new players can defend their deeds against this zerg play style that characterizes well staffed, experienced kingdoms. What if defenders, while on deed only, received a CR bonus for every pvp death in the previous 24hrs? I don't fight in my good gear, but when my deed is under "final siege" I'm more likely to fight in my good gear with a defenders bonus ondeed. This might help with player retention too, at least for basic survival. You could swap this stacking bonus out with any other stacking bonus for repeatedly killed defenders ondeed. This is just the 2nd thing that came to my mind. You could further limit the bonus by making only ondeed deaths count toward it. Also, I wanted to suggest a 72hr bonus, since the hardcore raids I'm talking about are usually multiday efforts, and the average defender might only have 2 gear sets on hand for herself. DA

Aesarius Aesarius, a very small humble world, for eons has closely guarded a great secret. This secret was passed from king to king through the eras. Each king vowed to protect the secret knowing that if it were ever found out, the world would be altered forever. The fourth era was ruled by Hardwin son of Adlard the Mighty. His careful watch during the time of the dark wars earned him the title Hardwin the Vigilant. Although there were occasional whispers, no one from outside Aesarius ever proved the existence of the secret. Through 4 eras, the kings managed to maintain peace and the world was one great kingdom. But Azohra with her ability to sense and locate power listened to the whispers. Through veiled channels she hired the Ebony Wolf Band to search out the secret. She was not disappointed. They discovered gemstones with the power to stave off death and protect warriors from the impacts of death if they were to die. Although these gems were rare, they provided significant advantage in battles. Throughout the dark wars, the Black Wolf Band never chose a side. They were available to hire for both sides. When Azorha sent her best generals and wizards to Aesarius, some of the Black Wolf Band went back on their contract and made it back to Aesarius in time to warn the king. Hardwin the Vigilant sent word to the high priests to call for help from the light gods and began preparing to stand against the intruders. The battle, known as The Withering, was fought mostly with magic. As the wizards and priests used up their own powers, they began to call on the earth for more. Deserts started to form. The battle ended when the entire world was so devoid of life that no one could survive it. Many of the priests and wizards were able to retreat to other worlds to save their own lives. Aesarius fell only a few months before The Last Battle. With the king was always a small band of his soldiers known as the Sanguine Sentry because of their fierce devotion to the king and their belief that they could protect him even in the most hopeless situations. When he fell in the second wave of The Withering, they took him to Grentia the world of healing. He survived and has been watching over Aesarius from a distance. While most of his resources are gone, he has slowly built his small band of soldiers for the day when Aesarius is whole once again. The Ebony Wolf Band has also been watching Aesarius from a distance. A few of the members still remember the gems they found and are waiting for the time when they can try to harvest them and sell them for profit or use them. As time has passed, the world has slowly regained it’s strength, and seems to be habitable once again. Both of the organizations have sent individuals and teams to survey the world, discover if it truly is habitable again, and determine if it still produces the gemstones. What part do you play? Are you part of the Sanguine Sentry? Are you hired by the Ebony Wolf Band? Are you unaffiliated but you’ve heard the world is habitable again?

Hello! I've got a server setup as pvp, home kingdom mol rehan, and non epic. Recently someone wanted to start a deed but there was a building that belonged to another player (who is inactive). There was no option to bash the walls and destroy structure needed permission. I have a code of honor for me and my gms to never delete any structures whatsoever because we want everything to be developed by the players and done with their own hands. Is there any way / setting that allows me bashing (not destroy the entire house like in management settings, i mean wall by wall, like if you would attack it) other players structures WITHOUT PERMISSIONS if theyre not part of a deed? Many thanks in advance and have a nice day! Arathok

1 Kingdom PvP, No Champs, Hota enabled with some custom rewards and alot of other custom changes from wyvern mods! Notably, Random spawns until you have a deed. No need for towers, Drop a deed anywhere you like. Any player not in your village is an enemy. Also watch out for titans The only rules currently are no exploiting, Macro Allowed, and don't destroy the rivers.

(picture soon i been lazy, sorry) What is HOTSNPVPPHD? Horde of the Summoned New Player versus Player Players Housing Development. It's a free pre-built and stocked housing area (2 individuals per house) with the necessary items to help get started quickly such as forges, bulk storage bins, and beds. We're aiming to encourage new players on the Northern islands (Harmony, Melody, Cadence) to come over and try out Defiance and PvP. If you are currently on the northern islands, and want to try PvPing, send me a private message with some basic information about yourself (name, discord, experience, time zone, pvp experience, any past kingdom history, what interests you). We have a portal right outside the house ready for use. If you are enjoying it, you can always create your own house too! Note: You do not have to commit full time to living here on Defiance, we're happy to have you hop between the PvE server and Defiance. Why try Defiance? You have a chance to gain permanent affinities from killing enemies and always gain a temporary timed affinity. One affinity = 10% skillgain in that skill. You gain karma for each kill. Defiance is a full loot system, and you gain easily acquire valuables off players. There's no cooldown between transferring between Defiance and the other islands. You can come over and PvP when needed. A unique different perspective on the game. See how to work together in a large kingdom. Daily PvP, both large and small skirmishes. What do you need? A forum account Discord Working microphone Helps to speak English, but we have some Russian players Contribute in some way. While we want to have new players, we can't provide with everything. A good village requires everyone to contribute in some way - smithing, crafting, farming, breeding Again, if you're interested, send me a PM on the forums!

Some quality of life improvements for kingdom mechanics: 1) Colour coded local list Other kingdoms and villages that have been declared war upon appear with red names in the local tab aswell as local chat. Thus showing green for allies, red for enemies and white for neutral kingdom members. Removes the need to mailbox check, etc... which is currently just a very odd, clunky and slow workaround that pvpers use to achieve the same result. With this its easier for the newbs and more intuitive. 2) New modifiers dictate the likelyhood of becomming king. 1% is the base chance regardless what the kingdoms size is. +0.1% chance per 100 battlerank above 1000. +0.01% chance per FS level. 3) New mechanic to the duel ring feature For those unaware of how the duel ring works then read the spoiler below. In addition to the current abdication mechanics a player can announce himself as a contender for the rulership. If a ruler remain for the 30 min they keep the rulership. If the ruler fails and there is no contender who has spent 30 min in the ring, then the ruler abdicate. If the ruler fails and there is contenders who have spent 30 min in the ring, then the contender with the highest ammount of time in the ring gets rulership. All contenders can be listed by checking the dueling stone. 4) Village alliances can be made at a distance Similar to how we got /vinvite i suggest the implementation of remote alliance formations using /ainvite. Requires both persons to have the diplomatic role, otherwise a basic "You need the diplomatic role to invite a village to the alliance." or "The person doesn't have the diplomatic role and can't form alliances" is displayed.

Currently pet orders arent combat actions and thus are unusable while in melee combat. Considering its use is almost always for combat engagements i suggest this is changed. I also suggest a change to allow pets to target neutral animals such as horses being ridden by hostiles without having to engage them in combat first.

Latest release This mod provides a convenient way to customize PvE zones in PvP Wurm Unlimited server Color scheme Create a colored image to specify PvE/PvP zones for your Wurm Unlimited server: Color(r, g, b) Description Green(0, 255, 0) Always PvE Yellow(255, 255, 0) PvE with scheduled PvP Pink(255, 128, 128) PvP with PvE at deeds Orange(255, 128, 0) PvP with PvE at deeds. Scheduled PvP at deeds. Red(255, 0, 0) Always PvP Map format The map must be 24-bit BMP image named "map.bmp" and located in "%SERVER_FOLDER%/mods/ZonedPVE" directory. The image size must be equal to server map size. Top left corner of the image corresponds to the north-west corner of the server. Example image: This map is created for a very small (512x512) server. There are peaceful north and south with little PVP at the center. The yellow zone will have PvP only at certain times. The pink zone has PvP outside of any deeds. Orange zone is the most complicated - PvE on deeds with scheduled PvP (and constant PvP outside of any deeds). The red zone has always enabled PvP. Schedule format The schedule can be set in the configuration file using UNIX cron format. Very good site for creating schedules is here. Here are some examples: UNIX cron format Human readable format * 20-21 * * SAT Every Saturday between 20 and 21 hours */2 * * * * Every second minute Put your schedule string to "%SERVER_FOLDER%/mods/ZonedPVE.properties" file with key "pvpschedule".

Wurm University is a training Player Made Kingdom (PMK) in Wurm Online that exists to train new players in the basics of life on the Chaos PvP server. The University will build a strong PvP reputation in HOTA, roaming PvP and raiding when required. It will have robust management with Chaos veteran players to help build knowledgeable lecturers (instructors) and quality students. The heart of the kingdom resides in teamwork through PvP, kingdom events and cooperative help in the alliance chat channel. Wurm University’s objective is to teach players how to play Wurm Online on Chaos and create more content for all players on Chaos. In order to accomplish this mission we will constantly adapt, evolve and change as Wurm changes. Players are welcome to join us to learn what they can and either strive for a higher position within the Kingdom to help with the newer players, or join another PMK that they are interested in. Wurm University can provide guidance and knowledge on how to survive and thrive on the Chaos server. Our experienced players known as Dean's, can help newer or older players to establish themselves and gain know-how to play as a successful Chaos player. The Kingdom can currently provide: an escort from freedom servers to Chaos established deed (currently the capital) - with room for player built housing. horses kingdom armour sets kingdom weapons basic tools food (nutrition and CCFP) Other kingdom provided wares can be added as the kingdom grows and we have more players to share the load. Wurm University wants newer or older players that are willing to give the Chaos server a try. We want keen and enthusiastic students to learn all there is about Wurm Online and we want the experienced freedom players to shorten the newer players learning curve; and possibly learn a thing or two about the different game mechanics that the Chaos server provides. Our only requirements for player involvement in the kingdom are simply that you: have a premium active account; can ride a horse (21 Body Control); and have a minimum of 70 fight skill. On specific request, we will accept very new players without the two skill requirements if the person is requiring the knowledge or assistance to grind these two specific skills. However, these skill levels will be mandatory before a player can receive Kingdom armour or weapons. If you are new to the game or a veteran freedom player that would like to experience the rush of full loot drop PvP, then consider joining Wurm University. You can apply to join on our forums at: http://www.wurmuniversity.com/f2-applications

THE IDEA: This Wurm Unlimited server project is my attempt at doing something for the gaming community and building something big online. Best thing that can happen is a community of players finding new friends." This is a server open for everyone who is looking for like minded players, enjoying a round of wurm or finding new friends to play with and build something meaningful together and serves as a place where you can retreat from the stressful life and dive into the world of Wurm and be whoever you want to be. THE TLDR: This project is not particulary designed to be hardcore, but the stacks are against the player when you are starting out. To do good damage you need to hone your item skill of choice ( you can use almost anything as weapon now) and your fighting skill. The quality of your Weapons and Armor are important as well! The DUSK combat mod completely overhauled fighting! (read the mod entry for more details) Lets say it like this: you wont be able to fight even a rat in the beginning. Morrowind Style! There is already a few people signed up and all of them are super friendly. If you are planning on doing some RP yourself introduce your character on the discord! THE MAP: The Map is a 4096x4096 custom map designed by Count Zero and has geological spread ressources. Which means you will find no olive trees in the northern colder regions! Likewise you wont find gold and silver, where there is no mountian, and some metals are only regionally available. (There is a little bit of everything everywhere though!) Spawn is in the Capital City and we highly encourrage you to stay with us, but if you want to go out on an adventure, by all means do so! As ressources are spread far and wide, we will need settlements and outposts! Server Features: -Open PVP out in the wilderness PVE around and in Deeds -Light RP: Local and Capital City chat try to stick to a certain character Global and PMs: Off character away! - Custom 4k Map - X3 Skill, X3 timer - 22h field growth timer, crops protected from overgrowing. - 10% Aggro, 30k Animals (going up systematically) - Free living in the Capital City and one guaranteed plot of land, mining and foresting in the Public Forest/Mine as long as you add to the City you are welcome! - Meditation Fixed (normal WO type skill gains) - All deities available for everyone - priest restrictions (Unlimited Prayers per day, but at least 20 minutes apart, other restrictions, named in the wiki to your selected faith apply -> still need to figure out if gains are fair, feedback wanted!) - Bounties and burning corpses for Karma! - Treasure Map Hunting! - Get your/one crafting skill to 50 and get a free Merchant! - in-game meetings - Events - Evolving Map as in-game Map (shows tile changes accordingly, updates once per day) - Economy based on wurms prices (HIGH QL > Item numbers) If you are a hunter you can get money by killing mobs! - Friendly GMs and community! - optional Discord: https://discord.gg/cDraB6f Start: - All Skills start at 1. - Characteristics start at 18. - Starter Gear - Basic Tools Modlist: - announcer - bagofholding - betterdig - betterfarm - bountymod - BountyOnBurn - BulkOptionsMod - bulkseparated - buyermerchant - creatureagemod - cropmod - discord relay - DUSKcombat - Doorbell - eventmod - hitchingpost - inbreedwarning - Location Command - moonmetalmining - PickMoreSprouts - roll - servermap - Server Tweaks - skillmod (Meditation) - spellmod - starter gear - taxidermy - templar replacer - timerfix - Treasure Hunting - waxed food EDIT: 1 Month has gone and so far the capital city grew but we also have some deeds popping up here and there! Why don't YOU join in on the fun?

This is a general point about PvP which involves balance, account sales, and priests. It is merely an objective observation. To start, the recent changes/reset to Elevation involved rule changes that included meditation nerfs and characteristics suppression; presumably to make it easier for noobs when encountering vets. If the objective was to balance PvP a bit, then this is all fine. It will have worked insofar as it went. Except there's a fundamental problem with balance in PvP, and even to some extent in PvE. Traditionally what a player would do is use a "crafting main". This is the toon that makes all the gear, and therefore gains a whole stack of characteristics; body strength, stamina, etc. And this toon is typically the one a player would send into PvP. Priests were typically used in a support role, for casting tools, hanging back with heals, or whatever. Back in the day, most players I knew were doing it this way. Now it seems players can buy strong crafting accounts and priest them up, while keeping their "crafting main" for crafting/imping. This means there are some pretty strong accounts running around, with all the advantages of a long history of crafting with regard to characteristics, fighting skills, etc. Except they also have the advantage of being a Fo/Mag priest. So this seems a bit overpowered if the original intention was to balance things out. You can suppress characteristics/meditation to even things out a bit, and that's all good. But all other things being equal, if the other guy is a Fo (and has refreshes and heals) then you're going down, no two ways about it. I see this a lot in Wurm videos involving PvP; everyone seems to be a priest these days. It's not my job to try to come up with ways to balance this; I just thought I would point out the obvious contradiction between the apparent objectives concerning the rule-changes to Elevation PvP, and the reality of the situation. If the intention is to balance PvP to give weaker accounts at least a chance against stronger accounts, then perhaps it might be an idea to restrict priests to cloth only? This might help offset the advantage from spells. But like I said, it's not my job to fix this; I just wanted to point out this issue in the context of balance in PvP.

Years ago, it used to be possible to push other players, even in the PvE servers. Due to world glitching and some issues with pushing players into places that should not have been possible, that feature was removed, oh, 10 years ago? In a game where players cannot pass through other players in PvP, there's a real role for the ability to push. Defending or attacking a hilltop town becomes far more interesting. Pushing players out of boats could be an awesome way to steal their boat. If you make it body-stat-based, it would reward high stats. If you try to push a player, maybe you lose a combat level for a couple seconds? If you succeed in pushing, you gain back your combat level, and the opponent loses a combat level. If you fail to push, you lose a second combat level, briefly, then return to normal in a couple seconds. ** In PvE, players should not be allowed to push other players. Way too much griefing possible that way in PvE, for instance, pushing a player into water when they are starving. However, in PvE, we might still allow monsters to push. Especially monsters with thumbs. You're going to think three times about climbing up that steep rock face to kill that troll when you know there's a good chance he's just going to thump you in the chest and knock you off balance so you take falling damage. Then he might just sit up there and wait for you to try to climb up again, unless you start shooting him with a bow. Trolls and even goblins suddenly become dangerous to ANYONE if they inhabit high ground. Don't even think about what a Ram might do to you if you attack it on steep ground. Exploring mountains could go catastrophically bad, even if you plan carefully.

I don't make suggestions but I just thought I would put this idea out there. I am sure something like this has been suggested before. But here it goes: If two different want to work together to fight they can merge. Two account will get "married" to make the alliance with the two kingdom. You still have two separate kingdoms but the "Alliance role" is now the two kingdom together talking and permissions "alliance" would mean both kingdoms could do that. But the "kingdom" role/permission would be the said kingdom you are with. Then when you break/undo the alliance you either have a war to take over the other kingdom and fight.. or you just have peaceful break. When the two kingdoms ally together the towers of the kingdoms will be friendly. This would make pvp more like role playing. More like rl kingdoms back in the day. Or say people of two different kingdoms want to play together but they don't want to leave the kingdom they are part of if the two kingdoms are of with it they can ally together. Or if there are two smaller but upcoming kingdoms that want to fight not to low of numbers to fight they can Ally together till they get the number to fight alone. I can also see some changes that would need to be made if two kingdoms come together. Champhood would need to be that if you join two kingdoms together you are still only allowed 3 champs, because then kingdoms would be just joining together so they can have 6 Champs. Officers roles will be among both the kingdoms not having two of each. Because you would not want to have people creating kingdoms just to take advantage of have double of everything. Like let's say everyone wanted to take on one kingdom because that said kingdom is getting to big or "toxic behavior" that is making the server not fun. Two of the kingdoms could just Married/allied together and been able to enter deeds and help defends and fight. You wouldnt have to convert a the other kingdom deeds or bash towers. This would encourage more people to be involved hence they can make a kingdom with friends ally with someone for protection to get bigger before doing their own thing.. I don't know if I am making sense of my idea. But I think this would put a new aspect to the pvp side of things.
