PvP VPN Usage & You

 

 

 

Using any VPN or Proxy to bypass the one kingdom online from one IP address at a time restriction on the PVP servers will be considered a form of metagaming and will be enforced and penalized.

While we know there are many valid reasons to be using a VPN or Proxy, using them to bypass our intended mechanics is not one of them!

 

Thank You,

Client Modifications on Live Serves

 

 

 

It has come to our attention that certain members have modified live server PMK graphics.jar files in an apparent attempt to troll other members of the game. While the action is humorous, we want to remind everyone that modification of the client in any way, including the graphics files for live game play is NOT alright, regardless of how harmless. These modifications can easily go down a slippery slope, to modifications that place an individual at a substantial advantage in PvE/PvP based gameplay against other players, as well as a myriad of other issues, meaning any modifications need to be disallowed from the game.

 

Thank You,

Base Jumpers Beware!

 

 

 

Base Jumping into a properly locked and permissioned secure structure or enclosed area(i.e. center of donut structures) on non-PvP servers will be considered an exploit!

 

Ever since the introduction of multi-story and bridges to Wurm Online, a method to bypass the permissions system had been inadvertently made possible.

Using a tall enough structure or terrain to fall across a tile into or onto a structure or enclosed area that would otherwise be inaccessible by intended mechanics.

This method has been used several times over the years, but as this goes against the intention of our sandbox, we are putting a stop to it via the rules until such time as a mechanical solution is found.

Tower Chaining in PvP

 

 

 

It has come to our attention that there exists the ability for someone to use an alternate account to found a deed as part of another kingdom, and then convert that deed to their own kingdom, effectively bypassing Tower Chaining mechanics. The existing mechanics for Tower Chaining require an influence connection back to the capital deed or starter deed in order to found a new deed for a kingdom. Circumventing this mechanic is a clear exploit, and while we are working on a fix for this, those caught circumventing this will be/have been penalized in addition to the forced disbanding of the deed(s) in question.

 

Thank You,

The Horse, The Thief, and The Cage

 

 

 

It is not intended that a person with lead permissions on a creature can cage the creature and ship it off to another island for the purpose of rebranding and caring for it, effectively taking it from the original owner.  This unintended issue will be corrected in a future update, until then, do not cage creatures that are branded or cared for, for the purpose of cross server ownership change.

 

Thank You,

Westworld
 

For the time being, which will be a very short time being, the east coast is unreachable by boat.  All attempts to travel east will place you on the western side of your destination.  So until the hotfix is implemented, if you really need to get somewhere in the east of somewhere in a hurry,  find other means of travel.  Those of you who like the scenic route, please enjoy.
