I'll also add that the somewhat recent PvP tenure of these two was when PvP saw the most [uneccessary] changes, and saw a larger decline in players (PvP) as a result.

Posted January 1, 2020 @RetrogradeAny chance we might have any golden mirror related news coming in the near future? Especially with that 3rd person mode that you teased in the post, it'd really be a nice addition, and it's been on the way for so long now. Perhaps if the web store is on hold or taking more time, there could be another way to get hold of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 1, 2020 There are two ways to look at the state of Wurm in 2020: WU is for all intents and purposes, abandoned to the Wurm modding community. Epic is for all intents and purposes, abandoned because the changes there have been redirected towards WOS (steam version). Chaos is for all intents and purposes, abandoned because nobody plays there anymore. Freedom is drying up because it is too expensive and there is too much legacy baggage in the code to be fun. WOS is the next attempt at revenue to keep the lights on. Or WU is for Wurmians who love modding and free-to-play. Epic is for those who love kingdom PVP. Chaos is just never going to die because it is the oldest map in existence. Freedom is for Wurmians who love the memories and cant stand the thought of parting with the investments of time and money spent over the last decade. WOS is the next attempt at revenue to keep the lights on. I am still not sure which of these two ways my mind leans towards the most, but I truly hope 2020 will be the year that Wurm sees the most success ever, because 10 years in, I still love this game!

Posted January 2, 2020 How many years of premium does the LMC take? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2020 Is the plan for there to be a separate Steam subscription? Or if I am premium in WO will I have access to Steam with my existing sub? Also, are there any plans for Temporal Anti Aliasing? Improvements in anti-aliasing would definitely make the graphics more appealing in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2020 Quote A big PvP focused update was on the relaunch of Elevation as a server with a fair few PvP specific changes. The new map by Ausimus and all the work by Darklords provided an exciting burst of freshness within PvP, and gave plenty of feedback about what we'd like to see in any future launches of PvP servers. It lasted a month, people hated it, and then it was decided that again Epic was put on hold for other things. Not sure if this is really a highlight. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ps. I already fear what you have come up with now towards pvp. PvE people should be far away from PvP decisions. How about devs making their own kingdom? Fully committing to PvP and all its aspects, attacking, raiding, defending etc. 1 year. You could get valuable info of how it works. Deeds free for all during the experiment. Just a thought... Wurm is too complicated to even devs to fully understands its mechanics and it should be changed. Is that really a thing? Finishing our journal gives us a cape? or are you saying that sarcastically? we cant all wear a fully enchanted scale set .. . . ..and if the cape is real, are they all the same spawned item or any choice of color?

Capes are all the same design sadly, can't be dyed from what I remember. Imagine your grandmas tacky red curtains with patterns, and it looks a lot like that. The fully enchanted scale set is easily cheesed, just ask someone who trusts you to let you wear it for the journal. 100 rifts is a far worse goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) For me the future is i just hope "standard" WO cluster / servers won't be closed for Steam WO or after launch, it would kill me to loose my characters, my deed, history, memories etc ... that's my biggest fear for the future.

I'm fairly certain that won't happen. Even if something were to occur to cause a drastic change, it would likely be a merge rather than straight up shutting servers down.

Even if the population will decrease drastically (it already started btw) i want to keep playing on existing cluster... even alone 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
