Posted January 20, 2017 New banner courtesy of Saroman! Hi Everyone! Another week has passed, and it's time to share some more news about what's going on with the Wurm team. We're still ramping up as that holiday feeling passes and work mode kicks in, with an update to Wurm online due to land early to mid next week, pending some fixes, but for now, the news! WU devblog This week saw the WU devblog go up on steam,, outlining the delays in 1.3 coming as well as touching on the future plans for WU, including a possible updated server UI . Check out the article here: http://steamcommunity.com/games/366220/announcements/detail/258229677222552331 Esert makeover! Last year we had the design a deed comp for several deeds, and it went amasingly well, with some awesome designs (I love jbergs knot highway) and we've recently been asked about Esert, the starter deed on Exodus. So we're opening it up to a design comp, all entries will be placed in the subforum for exodus, and you're all welcome to vote, the original current design will also be included, for those who want to keep it as it is. The deedplanner info for Esert is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0hjK_EXMTcdb3RMMnExckx0N00/view?usp=sharing Nahjo faith transfer The conversion for Nahjo faith to another deity faith has been running since the 22nd of November, and will end on the 1st of February, Please ensure that you have performed any transfers you wish to by then. Community Content This weeks community content is the Iron Chef - Wurm edition competition by shydow, who is holding a competition for wurmians to nominate their best recipes that fit the criteria! Have you entered yours? (apparently vodka and bread doesn't work) That's it for this week, I'd like to thank Saroman for the spiffy new header border, and hope you all have a great weekend of Wurm, until next time, keep on Wurming! Retrograde & the Wurm team. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2017 I am worried now... I recently created a Nahjo priest, I had wanted Mag, but I could find no follower or priest to convert my guy. So, what is happening to Nahjo, or what is wrong with Nahjo, that people want to change to another deity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, what is happening to Nahjo, or what is wrong with Nahjo, that people want to change to another deity? there is nothing "wrong" with nahjo, and there is nothing happening to nahjo since it happened already. read as for going mag, if you still want it you can type "/transfer" on your priest and then choose mag and you will be converted, while its still available.

Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks. I believe I will stick to Nahjo then, favour gain was not why I chose him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I don't understand why you think the conversion needs to simply have a end date because some guy made a thread about it. This nonsense happens all the time. ALWAYS one random person, lets change it! Edited January 20, 2017 by Niki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possibly more that making sure something has a checked end date rather than left in and forgotten It's been a pretty long time now since the reason for the faith swap so I don't think anyone at this point would be using it for it's intended purpose, so why leave it in? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sigh [19:14:09] You decide to use your transfer and change deity to Fo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I play both too but hopefully you won't ruin your beautiful server's environment by having those Rifts spawn everywhere. I know some servers (Taumriel) have an isolated events area, as well as a portal to fight those Rift creatures if desired. Seems a better approach to me as I am not at all looking forward to Rifts entering into WU. =Ayes= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will there be a post in the Exo subforum with more information about due dates for entries, how to properly submit an entry, etc.? @Retrograde Edited January 24, 2017 by Joelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 23, 2017 The Esert Make Over Competition: when is the deadline for submissions? Do we have some time to brood over it a bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2017 For some reason I cant load esert into deedplanner. I copied it to pastebin, saved it to a .txt which i renamed to .MAP -no luck. I get errors and not loading. Can you export it to a pastebin please? (as it is embedded to deedplanner as a load option) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2017 Did you try clicking on download from Google drive? Just tried it and it works without a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2017 It's too large for pastebin, the perimeter inclusion is quire xpansive for starter deeds, as it adds a lot more tiles. The old export thanks to KaiH is here: http://pastebin.com/JJEY8Pg1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
