How about the idea to make books from sheets to get the role play aspect a bit more active, so you could make e.g guides or history books and it shouldnt be to complicated to implement this feature. Thanks and farewell, Sankara

Books were literally implemented a month ago?

  • Can hold a maximum of 10 inscribed sheets of paper or papyrus
  • Place-able as a decoration on furniture.

 

I didn't know it was there, either, till I looked in the wiki. The patch notes had "books were added" (no details)  tucked in the section about "Personal Goals Changes", which is why I went and checked the wiki. There were a couple odd things in that "Personal Goals Changes" section, like changes to how saddlebags work, and changes to king's robe appearances,  soI assume it may have simply been a section on patch changes that was copy pasted to the wrong subsection, or maybe a new subheading accidentally got dropped. 

 

Now, go out there and make us some books!

 

In fact, it would be a nice contest in the Creative Commons subforum, for "books" that could be added to a (very slowly) growing group of player made publications.

 

Poetry, short stories, lore, humor, advice to newer players, the trick is making sure there is **a very high quality** for something to get officially added, but the tapestry competitions convince me the community has the talent and could have some worthwhile book entries...

 

Player Made Books could spawn in the server starter town taverns and players could pick up and read there or even take it with them (a new one might spawn a day later etc)

I'd like to see the ability to copy books and the pages inscribed within.   Mass publication of Wurm history made available in ever growing "Volumes" or "Chapters".   Collector's paradise?   SIgn me up!

I would love to see stuff like the Puppeteering dialogues -- not necessarily that same specific text but stuff with this type of "lore flavor" showing the personal relationships between Vynora, Magranon Lo & Libila. or stuff about the Valrei moons:

Your Vynora puppet: 'Have you met the Lady of the lake yet?'
Your Fo puppet: 'I have met her.'
Your Vynora puppet: 'Did she please you?'
Your Fo puppet: 'She was very forthcoming, if I may say.'
Your Vynora puppet: 'Ooh, now what does that mean?'
Your Fo puppet: 'I will not elaborate. What do you insinuate?'
Your Vynora puppet: 'Oh, nothing. Nothing at all!'
Your Fo puppet: 'Don't get into deep water now!'

Your Vynora puppet: 'Oh I know who was in deep water! Haha!'

 

 

More good puppet dialogues:

 

 

 

Other potential sources of inspiration:

>>The Ageless rules the old lands a millenium ago. Not much is remembered about them, but it is assumed they were not human.
