Ivan our new god to blame

 

Ivan was always the "Misunderstood One" growing up. Most of the village thought him to be bad luck such that people would rather have broken a mirror while walking under a ladder while a black cat crossed their path than to have anything to do with him. Such an upbringing would devastate any normal person, but not Ivan.

 

As he aged into adulthood, the constant stream of blame never once abated. The last straw was when a farmer was milking his prize heifer. Ivan walked into the stable to fetch his saddle when the heifer was struck down by a shooting star that struck in the center of her head! Luckily, the farmer was unharmed, but the poor heifer was not so fortunate. He went to the Mayor and spoke with the Council, which cried out in a single voice, "WE BLAME IVAN!" Ivan was brought before the Council, and was exiled. The village expected him to perish...

Instead, he flourished.

 

Survival was not easy for him, at first. He learned all that he could, and prayed regularly to Vynora, his Matron. One day while he was just working with wood to make toys for an orphanage filled with children, a passing merchant stopped by his simple hovel and knocked upon his door. He answered the door, and to his dismay, the merchant recognized him. "It's all your fault," the merchant sneered at Ivan. Ivan heaved a heavy sigh and slowly closed the door, and turned towards the altar to Vynora that he carved with his own hands. He looked to the pile of toys that he'd been carving and just piled them all onto the altar, beginning to pray to Vynora to deliver him from this anguish. His eyes closed, his concentration deep, he did not notice the toys start to vanish one by one. Before his prayer was finished, he fell into a deep sleep, caused by Vynora Herself.

 

"Just as you have been loyal to me, so shall I be with you," the disembodied female voice said to him from across still waters. "You have endured the Storms of your life, braved the treacherous Tides of their scorn, and absorbed their blame with acceptance...never once turning angry or bitter towards those who blame you. So, I grant you this, Ivan...their blame shall be your strength. The more they try to harrass you, the stronger shall you become. In time...you will Rise."

Ivan lept to his feet with alarm! What was this voice speaking of? Who was she? It couldn't have been Vynora...could it?

 

He cleared his vision and took note that all of the toys were gone...but within the bowl of the altar rested a dull key that appeared to be made of some sort of crystal. He took this as a sign, and a gift, from Vynora. He fashioned it into a bangle and wore it about his neck. He left his small hovel behind and went to one of the larger settlements to try and start life anew.

 

Time passed, and he was once again blamed for many things that were not his fault. Each time he was blamed or ridiculed, the key that he wore slowly grew brighter, and brighter, until it became so bright it nearly blinded him...even though no one else could see it.

 

He took the key into his hand and the light began to shift from the key into his own flesh, and a voice boomed into his ears, "RISE, IVAN! TO VALREI YOU MUST COME! THEIR BLAME IS YOUR POWER! GATHER YOUR FOLLOWERS AND ASCEND!!"

Happy Birthday Sklotopolis - 7 years

 

Today we celebrate 7 years of Sklotopolis, I never expected this server to last for such a long time.

 

Seven years ago Sklotopolis was just an almost vanilla world, which hasn't got any of the great features we are using today. Many hundreds of hours have been put into developing more than 100 different mods turning Sklotopolis into a unique place to play. Even after all this time a big bunch of our features are still unique in the Wurm universe, nobody else has been able to adopt our wide variety as of now.

 

Thanks to the great team behind me for helping manage the server, without you Sklotopolis wouldn't be where it is now.

 

And of course thanks to all our players for turning this project into such a big success story.
I am looking forward to the next years, we still aren't finished, and there are big things to come.

Merry Christmas Sklotopolis!

 

The Sklotopolis staff team wants to wish everyone of our players a merry christmas and a happy new year. As promised Santa arrived at New Hope on Novus and Haven on Liberty. But as usual you also can collect your gift from a christmas tree which you can craft yourself. This years christmas gift includes two items, something useful and something decorative, we hope you will enjoy your presents.

Thanks for being part of our wonderful community, considering this is a free time project for all of us you are the only reason why we are still working on this success story and improving it every day. Thanks for being a part of our unique server adventure.

 

Since some players will find this out for sure, you can get a present on both servers with two different accounts. But make sure that you DO NOT cross servers with an account which has already received a present on your origin server, otherwise you will only receive one gift.


Don't forget our White Christmas Client Mod you can use to get a white snowy christmas time in Wurm Unlimited :)

Update

  • Fixed a potential bug causing magical water skins no longer to refill in inventory.
  • Added a customized version of the treasure chest mod.
  • You can now find treasure maps when digging, mining, fighting, foraging, and surface mining. You can use a compass on the treasure map to locate the hidden chest. Once you located the spot of a hidden chest use either a shovel or pickaxe to dig / mine for treasure. Guards will spawn to protect the treasure chest, once they are killed the chest unlocks. Higher quality treasure maps will lead to chests with far better loot. You can only find 4 chests per RL day or 10 chests per RL week.
  • Please provide us feedback on the whole system so we can improve it further over the next weeks.
