Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) Desolation is an 8x Skill Gain and 4x Action Timer PVP server. This server has the epic curve and the starter deed names are influenced from the Chaos server Start Deeds. My goal is to make Desolation the most active and fun PVP server in the Wurm Unlimited Community. We want to bring fun back to Wurm PVP, and we hope that with the server, mods and staff we can provide the player base with some fun. Due to the influx of many players, we will be having a poll to see the communities thoughts on macroing. Currently a bug with new spawns, hoping to have it fixed asap. We now have a Teamspeak 3 Server! Join it with the IP: DesolationWU.net We also have forums which I encourage all players of Desolation to register on. The address is http://desolationwu.enjin.com/ Server Features: Size - 2048x2048 Full PVP Epic Settings 21 Body Control Start! New Characters start with Armor and a Better Weapon. Increased Starter Tools Quality Removal of the strongly disliked Archery and Spell Debuff while wearing all Armor Types. All New Characters can type /support to submit a support ticket for 10s.

Unless the server suddenly booms it will be difficult to create towns outside the initial starter deed influence area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) It's definitely something that could be done, I don't want to make too many changes given the skillgain and how fast actions are at higher levels, at 70 skill with materials you can make a tower in 30 - 45 minutes. Patch will be coming today introducing a few things. Edited December 25, 2015 by Rudie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Server has been successfully moved to its new host. 5 Hours sleep bonus was given to existing accounts for the inconvenience. Edited December 28, 2015 by Rudie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 28, 2015 Despite new host, server runs exceptionally smooth. Skill gain is a plus and the few changes make it easier and more fun to play. Would definitely recommend this server to others. Keep up the good work Rudie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 29, 2015 I'd like to know what the server rules are, in particular regarding the use of alts and things like attended macros etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 30, 2015 I will get a complete rule list this evening. Blatant alt abuse in pvp includes repairing towers, whatever a player wants to do such outside of pvp with an alt is up to them. Attended macros are fine, anyone found using a macro while away from their computer will be flagged and watched by one of our gm staff and appropriate actions taken to prove such. First offense is a warning, second will result in the skill being lowered to 1 and a 3 day ban, Third will result in a complete account reset and 4th a 30 day ban.
