  1. Hey everyone! After finding a Youtube video about this project from many years ago, I am very excited to find it happy and thriving still! I love the idea of being able to host your own, private, servers and I have read through several discussions on the topic - although most seem to be a few years old. I'm hoping to find some mentors as I get a little more accustomed to the community here and feel my way around to launching a private server. Look forward to talking with more of you! Corp Por

  3. November 16th, 2021. 1603 Hours local time Participants are massing up ready to begin the slaughter of a Rift. Private Ltnicolas (yes, it's named as a lieutenant but is as green as a rookie. Great start), 8th class, is finishing up his preparatives. 2H Sword? Check Leather Armor while riding a horse? Check 40 units of wool? Check (Spoiler: I ran short) Horse Armor? (What's that? can you eat it?) Mouse cursor running lightning fast across the screen, hovering over every player, hoping to find someone known to me to follow in hopes of getting some clues as to what the hell I have to do here. The Rift opens. Creatures start to litter the area. The slaughter begins. Player count: 34. I feel safe. Well, not for long... (Extract from PMs with Baeowuf while rifting. Timestamps are local time. Post-notes are marked with asterisk and brackets) [16:47:55] <Ltnicolas> doing my first rift ever [16:48:03] <Baeowuf> Oooh, fun! [16:48:06] <Baeowuf> Be careful [16:48:14] <Ltnicolas> man this is a massacre *(OFC it's a massacre: It's so damn easy to swing a huge blade trying to cut some flesh and (hopefully) avoid being hit. Especially if no one's hitting you) [16:48:33] <Baeowuf> XD [16:48:37] <Baeowuf> The NOISES [16:48:40] <Baeowuf> Are awful *(Yes they are) [16:48:45] <Baeowuf> I always have to disable sound at rifts [16:49:19] <Ltnicolas> 125% agree. Summoners hit sound like a mix of a donkey and a mosquito *(No exaggeration here) [16:50:07] <Baeowuf> LMAO yeah [16:50:13] <Baeowuf> Seen any ogres yet? [16:50:39] <Ltnicolas> yeah they are right in front of me [16:50:44] <Ltnicolas> they asound like a 50cc scooter *(again: they sound BAD. not like a bad boy, but just plain bad) [16:50:57] <Baeowuf> Hahaha (So far so fun, right?) [16:51:15] <Baeowuf> Those ogre mages can put a hurting on you fast if you don't watch out for their AoE spells (I should have known better. Now here comes the other kind of "fun") [16:51:49] <Ltnicolas> [16:51:33] <Laval> oh boy a champ *(Another player spots a champ moments later. DUH) [16:52:00] <Ltnicolas> we could call it a SNAFU [16:54:46] <Baeowuf> Never been a more accurate word for it *(SNAFU: Situation Normal: All F*cked Up) [16:55:12] <Ltnicolas> there is [16:55:17] <Ltnicolas> [16:55:06] You see a severe fracture at the right calf. The wound is worsening. *(Took a HUGE blow. Severe leg bruise, worsening. Adding all other small wounds the situation is really dire.) [16:55:24] <Ltnicolas> see? *(Low First Aid means repeated failures to bandage) [16:55:38] <Baeowuf> OOF [16:56:15] <Ltnicolas> what could possibly be worse? *(As soon as i was typing...) [16:56:18] <Ltnicolas> how about... [16:56:19] <Ltnicolas> [16:56:07] You try to treat the wound with a healing cover but fail. [16:56:25] <Ltnicolas> (my 20 power cover) *(my ONLY cover, and had run out of bandages) [16:56:38] <Ltnicolas> this is (almost) hilarious actually *(Sometimes, like with all things in life, big or small, when things go waaaay bad it starts to become hilarious. Or almost hilarious) [16:57:13] <Baeowuf> No Fo priests? [16:57:20] <Ltnicolas> yes there are [16:57:42] <Ltnicolas> but at 28% health i dont want to risk one-shot, as we're focusing champ *(OFC! I lost more than 50% HP in a single blow, no covers, no bandages. i don't want to risk getting one-shotted) [17:02:32] <Ltnicolas> and while i was typing [16:59:13] <Ltnicolas> need a priest, have a bad wound [17:02:52] <Ltnicolas> lit while i was typing someone casted light of fo or whatever. My arse is safe for now *(somehow I got healed. I was getting ready to die with honor already) [17:02:58] <Baeowuf> Hahaha [17:03:03] <Baeowuf> You have good armor, right? [17:03:25] <Ltnicolas> .............i think? ... Spoilers: I survived. I completed my first rift. I had a laugh. What could possibly go wrong? How about... Not bringing any tool at all? No pickaxe, no butchering knife, nothing. But hey! I scored 122pts and got a fantastic or whatever it was called (i forgot now) on my *first* rift ever. Got 233 pts that wouldn't let me redeem anything with it. But hey! I had a laugh... And a heart attack, in that order and then another laugh. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** The End (For now) ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** THANKS: Baeowuf that gave me permission to share PM and for all the laugh and moral support Tpicant for all the kind help, as usual from you Pukaria that was that Fo priest that saved my arse that time. All Harmony Rift participants (37+ at the end). Done in 1hr56min!! Not bad for NFI, I was told All situations and conversations here are real and I give my word of honor that it has not been altered. DISCLAIMER: Electro-Cardiogram results after the rift were fine. EEG and impact on cognitive skills unknown. No animals were harmed during the whole event. *(read post-edit *3) (I think?) *(I thought) Post-edit: 1*someone asked my fighting skills. 23. 2*No enchants. No LT, WA, whatever. No. Nada. None. Nichts. 3*[19:02:33] <Laval> was reading your rift experence post Nic, animals did get harmed, 2 hens and I think a pig died [19:03:37] <Laval> I made a grave for one of the hens (lol)
  4. Hi guys! I have created an in depth video guide to the tutorial and getting started in Wurm Online. If you have any troubles understanding how to get through the tutorial or want some general starting information, join me as I walk through the tutorial and explain things as I go along
  5. Hello, First off, we here on Indy do have far less Lag than Xanadu ? I'm located on Independence Q 20, just a bit south-west of the new central spawn hub "Haven Landing", you can follow the big 2 wide roads to find the place. The village is located on the newly created Canal, that connects the inner central Lake Crystal Bay and the small lake South Haven Lake and leads to the south sea, through a ship-tunnel. Means, you can sail to the village from south-east server boarder, and you can walk here from land. You can go shopping at the C.L.U.B. market, managed by Champagnedragon, just a minute north of my village, and i can also offer help on entchanting tools or weapons with my priest, and possibly help from alliance-priests, which will make your newbie life incredibly easier, and your veteran life bit more comfortable. I offer a village workshop, which has all kind of raw and bulk materials inside, which you can use to make your items out of. (For example Wooden Logs, Rockshards, Sand, Clay, Iron, Silver, Zinc, Tin, etc.) I offer a clay tile in the area, which you can dig all you like, the next closest claytile is at Haven Landing and further away at the eastern Lakes. The idea is, useing these materials you can create and improve your items and skills very efficiently. I can provide some free skiller tools as a starting gift, after short playtime. The workshop provides beds, forges, ovens, BSB, FSB, and of course shelter from the outside world ? You are allowed to use the free, public usable rockshards to make your bricks for your first stone house later, or use free Logs for a wooden house, and sand/clay for mortar and keep all materials you create for yourself of course. I see no need to focus on a house for a new player, but if you stay around for longer time, login regulary, i will help you to make a house plot for yourself. Screenshots i will add later. My character ingame name is Daryan, leave a forum message, try me ingame or try discord: @OsteGames/Steam/Twitch#6175 Twitch streamers, please notify me and keep the chat windows covered. Here is the topic about the Process of makeing the Canal:
  6. What you see is what I got. A bit of history, if anyone cares, these tools were looted from a village on Chaos 6 years ago named Greenleaf which was situated east of Kyara. 30c 20c each, all must go!
  7. Added a newbie to the deed and right after accepting the invitation to join he got the option 'Do you want to teleport to (deedname) now?' I think this is an awesome addition. Thanks.
  8. It breaks my lil heart to watch the CA HELP tab and see the number of brand new players just getting completely obliterated by huge problems at the start of their adventure. A lot has been done to make the game more accessible over the years; it's all very impressive. The problem, as I see it, is that new players seem to always go to Xanadu. Now maybe that's not true - perhaps it's equal across all the servers - but the ones in trouble, the ones that cry in vain for assistance are invariably on Xanadu. So here's my basic idea: let's not give Xanadu as an option to toons created on fresh email addresses. Assume that they are brand new players, and stop them going to the biggest, most murderous, most isolated, most awe-inspiring server until they have skilled-up, or perhaps they're joining friends already there on an established deed. Something like that. Speaking for myself, I'd cross half a server to help a noob bleeding to death in the woods, but I cannot do that on Xan. Nothing against Xan; I am just thinking about the new players and the realities of being dropped into the middle of it. I'm really not trying to revitalise the older servers; I have interests on several servers including Xan, where I have deeded 3 times in different places. I like Xan. Xan doesn't like noobs. I think a mechanic along the above lines would lead to an increase in the Xan population as people will aspire to go there, and they'll be playing long enough to make that a reality, because they'd have survived better on the smaller servers. Sorry that i didn't write this better, but I hope you can see my point, and that the idea is actually helpful.
  9. As the title says, I started a new server and wanted it Newbie Friendly. I rebuilt the database, had the box ticked for Newbie Friendly, saved the database and started the server and right outside where I spawned are lava spiders and scorpions. I thought this checkbox was to keep those creatures from spawning. What did I do wrong?
  10. Hi. I wrote this guide thinking that most people never get the chance to read something like this. Wurmpedia doesn't tell everything it should as you might already know. Most people on freedom do not know these things , and sometimes even people on chaos. Keep in mind that this is my own opinion, i'm by no means an all knowing wizard and there's far more experienced people at PVP than myself. Guide starts up at freedom level 1FS toon and gets more complex as pages go on. Note that you should have a basic understanding of the wurm mechanics to be able to follow it. Basicly i want you to know what "body strength" is or how to create basic tools and so on and so forth. Have fun. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vleppxC7I-qIZ3IXKBzRLoENsm9YT5cAf0JoAVsyu0I/edit?usp=sharing
  11. Hello! I'm a newbie looking to repay a debt with a friend, If you have any jobs I could do please tell me I do have premium so the quality of the products I make for you may increase logarithmically I live in the north eastern region of Xan but don't mind travelling far if you have a place for me to stay :3
  12. Hey, I'm a newbie holed up near Blossom on Pristine and I was looking for a bit of work so I can start making those sweet silvers (and help you with your tasks?). I have a small rowboat so I should be okay to work at any Freedom location; coastal preferred since I don't have any other reliable means of transportation, sorry. If you're interested, please PM me here or in-game (Botte) so we can discuss whatever you need done.
  13. Good Evening, I have noticed that every day when I log on I have extra time added on my Newbie buffs. I have been playing for a total of [19:00:14] You have played 1 days, 13 hours and 9 minutes. and I still have another 2 hours newbie buffs available. When I logged off the last time I had ~30 minutes Newbie buffs left, and when I logged on now again a few minutes ago I had over 2 Hours left again. Newbie buffs are fun but I am 15 hours overdue and think it should maybe be looked at. I'm new to WO but played many many hours WU and not sure if that might be the difference. Below a link of a screenshot I took Newbie Buff Still Available Kind Regards Farmboy
  14. Pirates Booty is still looking for newbie or vet players to join. currently building the tree farm but soon will have small island plots for homesteads M21 - Release
  15. Are you new, and just need someplace to catch your breath and get your bearings? Are you a veteran player who just doesn't want to deal with the hassle of maintaining your own deed?

Some paid work opportunities are available at standard rates (1 iron/action). Initial permissions are limited. Located on the west coast of Q12, Xanadu. Member of the Black Forest Alliance. Transportation to village may be available. PM Gangle for details.
  16. I have just started playing Wurm Online and I am enjoying every minute of it. My long term goal is to have tamed my very own dragon. And i am having trouble finding information on this. Can anyone tell me what skills i need. I've noticed there is some debate between having the taming skill at 100% or becoming a priest and using the spell Dominate. I am hoping it is taming at 100% because i saw that dominating only lasts for 3 days. I am also on Freedom Isles so i dont know if that helps or not. Any other information on taming would be helpful. And i apologize if this is in the wrong thred or if a thred exists taht covers this. Thanks.
  17. Storm's End is a 51x35 village located close to the northern shore of Crystal Lake on Independence. I've recently returned from hiatus and expanded the deed to continue projects on site. Storm's End is a member of the Storm Lands alliance, which also includes neighboring deeds; Yoggster's Patch Returns, An Unusual Place, Haven (the Hunting Lodge deed in the Grand Steppe), and Fafnir. The local area around Storm's End is fairly quiet, except for the alliance members. We have space for a few new villagers if anyone is interested in settling down in a new neighborhood. We'd prefer experienced players to apply, however we don't discriminate against the newbs either! If you'd like a nice village to settle into and hone your skills or work on projects then Storm's End is a good fit for you. We have a rare guard tower, a mailbox, an extensive mine and close access to the waterfront. Leave a comment here or pm me if you're interested in joining. Have a blessed day!
  18. Hey i just bought Constantinople and realize it is huge any newbies need a place to skill up it has everything you could need stop by K17
  19. I am building a server on my home network (to test before I go live) that modifies the original rule set beyond the parameters of the GUI/console. I have seen other servers do it... Increasing QL for newbie tools Adding/removing/changing newbie tools Adding starter buffs (such as the newbie food/heal/aggro buff like on WO) Periodic server messages anything else you can think of that isn't "vanilla" When I built my own server, I could change the experience leveling as well as action speed, but beyond that I saw no additional settings. Maybe I am missing it, but I Googled and searched the Mods section and don't see anything that changes these rules/templates. I have checked the SQLite files and didn't see anything resembling the above. I have experience with Minecraft server administration (Bukkit and Forge mainly), but I am lost here. Can anyone here assist me in how to approach this? Any links or configs you can provide are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  20. I am playing as a FTP for a break and while doing some thinking on how to manage spawning back at my spot it got me to thinking that the explorer tent might be a little high with the materials list for a fresh player to replace their spawn point. Now i do not know how long the newbie tent takes before it decays but as a new ftp character i would have no way in making cordage rope so maybe we should lower that to just rope? TLDR: My suggestion is to change the explorer tent to use only rope and not cordage rope. Edit: people also want them to be lighter.
  21. To make the point of this thread simple and sweet, here is the goal: collecting data and compiling research as to why new players often quit playing Wurm early into their Wurm life, or what inspires them to continue playing Wurm and developing friendships within the community. Whether you're a veteran or a new player, please chime in as to why you believe new players leave Wurm so suddenly, or why they find good reasons to stick around. I would especially appreciate the opinions of new players on this matter, as these testimonies will come from first hand experience. Be sure to list several reasons, in detail, that you feel qualify, such as: Population density - too many people on a server, not enough people, or just the right amount?Game mechanics - maybe it's difficult to understand some features, or perhaps you enjoy the challenge?Friends - hard time making friends, or were you welcomed readily with open arms?Early Stages - is it hard to get past the early stages of leveling up skills, or do you find it relatively easy? How do you feel about the ratio of successes to fails when crafting at low levels? Is getting started on your first projects (such as a house) a good or bad experience?Premium - is it hard to make the leap to buy premium, or did you go all-in and subscribe as soon as you could?Goals - not sure what to focus your efforts on, or do you already have dreams of castles and kingdoms just waiting for you to build them?These are just some ideas to provoke thought and encourage new players to share their experiences. If you're a new player reading this, please share your frustrations and your joys of Wurm Online. If you'd rather keep your feelings and ideas private, you can pm me instead of commenting here. Special Request: Keep it civil in here amongst yourselves. Bashing other players directly or by name isn't what this thread is about.
  22. Read the Wikipedia. Yes, the info can be so-so; however, its still invaluable. Ask questions. ALOT. Just pester everybody... especially the CAs. The masochists actually volunteered for this. Never click on a link posted by Glory. EVER. If you have to ask, the answer is, "No, you cant kill it." Steal everything not nailed down, then come back for the nails. Its perfectly fine to spam Enki with pms.
  23. New player looking for a settlement to join. I've played wurm online before, but currently playing on a brand new char. I'm currently located in g13 on xanadu, and would prefer a settlement close to me. I am a active, social player, and i will be able to use teamskype, skype etc. My IGN is arteezy.
  24. I'm so happy to have finally made it back to Wurm online now that it is once more Mac compatible. However it hurts, my old character is long gone and nearly 2 years of progress little more than a memory... I will be looking to start again on Idie's Freedom Isles, it will be interesting to see how mich jas changed since I last played, and if i can find them, i look forward to seeing old face again, but for now I will need help; shelter, Conversion to vynora and some tools to get me going os all I ask, i am more than willing to work fields and mines to pay my way untill i am back up to strength. I will tey to be online tonight.
