Posted November 29, 2019 Hi Everyone! A late happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Wurm, we give thanks to you all playing and enjoying the game, and especially to your feedback! There's been a lot of upheaval and questions that right now we don't have answers to, and I know that makes things uneasy in your confidence in the game. I can assure you that we are here and going to be here for a long time, we know our goal of continuing to polish the game and address bugs and your suggestions and we are working towards it every day. Anyways, on with the news! New Keybinds Heading off from the pinned suggestion thread, we'll be adding the following keybinds next update! Spoiler Item: Light (object) Snuff Discard Place Lore Rename Spin Smelt Burn Nature: Crush Plant (was there but should now work for planting herbs in planters as well) Pick sprout (was there but should now work for trellis as well) Creature: Hitch Unhitch Action: Eat Taste Drink Call for help Disembark Embark as commander Embark as passenger Moor Raise anchor Mix Fighting: Taunt Spells: essence drain land of the dead summon soul corrupt zombie infestation purge toxin cleanse hypothermia focused will inferno These are all aimed at making the game much smoother to play, and we'll likely be adding more as we go on! Hoist the main sail! The artwork for sail furling is now complete! Ships will be able to go full, half or no sail and will have models that match it's state, see below for all of them! Spoiler The farming box art is also complete, with a few surprises included: Spoiler This unfortunately won't be going live in this weeks update, but we aim to have it out before Christmas (Which is scary close!) The stronghold is revealed Last weekend the beacons were weakened enough to reveal the location of the stronghold, the hidden base of the creatures of Jackal! This led to a countdown of 144 hours, with a large fight expected. If that the end of it? Maybe not... Spoiler The stronghold is revealed (Hey, they're not knowing for being the wonderful designers Freedomers are, maybe that's why they raid?) Shrimpalong! I refuse to call it a Christmas Impalong because it ends 10 days before Christmas, but it's on! Expect Shrimpiies usual slew of games, prizes, deaths and of course, impings! Last year we had the famous The Public VS Dreammaster trial, will the acquitted killer return? It runs from the 6th to the 15th of December, so plenty of time to celebrate with your Wurmian friends before the real world drags us kicking and screaming away... Wulfgar joins the dev team! You may see forum member Wulfgar with a shiny new developer tag on our forums (And I totally wasn't reminded by him posting beneath) Wulfgar has joined us to work on the game bringing a vast amount of knowledge on coding and has been working on bringing in quality of life changes including the new keybinds and the paper decay removal suggestion to come soon! Everyone give a big warm welcome to Wulfgar before demanding he fix things! What Retro is up to: I smartly decided to rebuild my PC, having purchased another 8GB of ram and a new 500GB hard drive. I forgot how difficult and time consuming it is to set everything up juuuuust the way you like it. What a pain! I also have a new keyboard coming and phone adjustable LEDs... for purposes Quote Building Instagram Yep! Now I can post from PC it makes a lot more sense, and I'll be working on getting YOUR content on @officialwurmonline so drop us a follow and keep in touch with us with the #wurmonline hashtag! Steam FAQ I'm trying to find out as much as I can in order to have your questions answered and up in an official FAQ, some I might not have the answer to but I intend on acknowledging the biggest ones at least Talking to Devs I'm also looking at building the developer interviews and I want to know what you would like to ask the devs? It'll be a generic question aimed at getting to know the devs behind the bugs in the game, who their favourite super hero is, or their favourite brand of cereal! If you would like to ask something leave the question below! My schedule is going to be long this week... That's it from us this week, I'll be on this weekend streaming on our official channel, taking questions from you and discussing the world of Wurm with you all Until then though, keep on farming, playing with daisies, and Wurming! Regards, Retrograde & the Wurm team 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Well done, Wulfgar! Also, I have totally noticed the activity on Instagram, way to go, Retro! PS. What are those red balls in the planting boxes? DS. Edited November 29, 2019 by Cecci PS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) a big congratz on getting those keybinds in and WOOT!shrooms. Welcome Wulfgar! i believe you owned the trader at trinsic knightshade once upon a time (then indigus, deli north east coast), i bought it off you and extended the deed. I hope you like how it all turned out. (course there's a chance that you didn't play your namesake 6 years ago, there's a chance it was someone else) It's great to have you aboard, eitherway.

Posted November 29, 2019 LOLOL "The stronghold is revealed (Hey, they're not knowing for being the wonderful designers Freedomers are, maybe that's why they raid?)" you had to didnt you? Also yay more keybinds finally got some much needed ones ❤️ Oh and if you start using that instagram more enable cross posting to fb and twitter(fb likes it when you do that and is more likely to "suggest" it to random people) and thus spreading the word of wurm even more Also incase you need new pc stuff in the future before you buy check pricespy the amount of money i saved using them instead of instantly buying from playtech or pbtech is well worth the extra few steps and weird site layout they have Anyway good job everyone thank you for more keybinds and ahhh give me planter boxes already or actually no hold off a bit more i wanna keep making my house taller first 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 29, 2019 Nice picture Retro - looks like one of those classical romantic landscape paintings with the requisite three (ok four) cows in the foreground, but you didn't say where it is. Thanks for a great news update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 In the United States, we call those boxes Planter Boxes. You don't "farm" boxes, you "plant" them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 In the UK, gardeners would probably call that style 'Raised Beds' - maybe the US version is preferable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) Good work, and thank you for. Only one thing: Could you please plan reboots in a bit less ruthless fashion? This time, reboot announcement caught me in the middle of sailing to Independence rift, of course in a goddamned light breeze, and few minutes before I could cross servers so that I got the full beauty of ultra long Xanadu reboot. Last time, during the Xanadu rift, reboot cut into the middle of a rift between round 3 and 4. I mean, there are not that many multiplayer, multiserver events, and the date and time of rifts can hardly be a secret to devs (if so, please look at https://www.niarja.com/universes/online/rifts ) Edited November 29, 2019 by Ekcin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 Well the trend is Sweden now is to call them pallet collars, cause that is what they are, also those sold at garden centers. We can call them both planter box and raised beds inSweden, even if raised beds don't have to have a frame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) oOOOoOoooOOoOoohhhhhhh Oh My!.. Spoiler Quote Plant (was there but should now work for planting herbs in planters as well) I see you there... --edit unsure how to react to "Mix" keybind.. but I guess it's possible now to put bunch on toolbelt and point over other in inventory, opened group(as container) and such... hmmm hm huh hmz ok o-k (still clueless how to react.. but this changes stuff a bit) Edited November 29, 2019 by Finnn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
