Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Valoria III Many years ago not long after the launch of wurm-unlimited a group of friends created the first Valoria. Now many-many years later several of the same players have come back together along with some new faces to bring it back!

Bulk Storage (sorted into ql and doubled in size). Wyvern Mods (New creatures, imping gives more skillgains, titans and more). Rules There will be no botting, macroing or hacks allowed whether you are afk or not. Client mods that are publicly available are welcome to be used. There will be no griefing, trolling or harassment of either players or staff. Exploits and bugs should be reported immediately if found. Do not advertise other servers. Do not link pornographic or any other NSFW material in discord or in-game. Please use the appropriate channels or /support to contact staff rather then messaging them directly. We aim to have minimal GM intervention. Our GM toons will only be there for answering support tickets and most tickets will likely be solved without needing GM assistance. If you get your cave entrance wrong do not except a GM to come running with concrete or a free strongwall. There will not be portals or giant pre-made roads across the map. There will not even be a market place, these are all things the players can do themselves. The only exception to this rule is a small starter town located in the centre of the map which contains a small inn, some training dummies and a very basic public mine. As a group we plan on making the server as balanced as we can. Discord Server: https://discord.gg/QgNN8E3 Edited March 27, 2020 by Iberis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 27, 2020 The launch will now be tomorrow at 5pm GMT. Got a good group of people ready for the start so it should be fun and entertaining. Alot of us will also be in comms too - this server is likely to have people in voice chat most days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Nevermind It's Anubis again Seeing as the last server you guys ran completely dissapeared off the face of the earth, i'll pass. Edited March 27, 2020 by atazs 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) I never play on a WU server with the idea it will be around forever. There are lots of us out here who enjoy the whole getting up and running experience and just move on if a server fails. I would not expect the admin to keep paying month after month if no one is around. The caveat (for me) is that the admins post notice and don't just close down without a word. That does frost my grapes 😜 Still annoyed at my favorite server Astaroth doing just that. Question: What are the deed purchase/upkeep settings?

When I asked about this, I was told they were default/normal settings for deed purchase + upkeep. Overall I would describe this server as "extremely easy to get skills, extremely hard to get money". I am nearly 70 Digging after not all that much time at it. My mining is also way way higher (about 40?) than on most other servers on first day, simply by digging out a 10-tile or so mine (have not yet hit iron). After a little minor fighting on wildcats and the like for a pelt, I had 2 FS and 27 Aggressive fighting. So basic fight skill does not raise fast like fighting subskills. Coin droppage off animals is on the lowish side, at least for easy mobs. There are also quite a number of extremely hard "modded" mobs. People at the starter town were having fun luring tons of trolls to the guards for group killings. I think i must have seen nearly a dozen people earn the trollslayer title quite early. I had zero lag, the server ran like a dream, and all the mods seemed to be very well installed and working right, including the ingame global map (which a lot of servers struggle with). i thought the map seemed quite nice. I very much liked being able to do a lot of basic tasks from horseback. Overall I would describe this as a combat-centric server. You earn money by fighting, fighting is quite challenging with a lot of tough upper tier mobs, crafters are there perhaps primarily to supply the fighters with armor and weapons. Which means you need to get your skills up (easy) to sell to fighters who hopefully will make coin off killing things to buy stuff. But I think it will be a long slow road to earning a deed -- especially if like me you are not all that fond of combat, and have no interest in armorsmithing or weaponcrafting. I was told the best way to make money is to first and immediately build a guard tower, lead mobs there to have guards assist, rinse and repeat.

Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) I'm enjoying my time on Valoria so far. The skill gain is super fast for me since I usually play on 1x or 2x servers, but since deeds/upkeep are vanilla there is still some challenge Community is very active and friendly. They do have the ability to see undiscovered ore on Livemap blocked which I am not a fan of, especially on "all public mods are okay" server. But, that only affects people like me who really do not like mining/prospecting and avoid going underground. Otherwise the admins have a very nice selection of QOL mods. I just love being able to forage, chop trees, etc from my cart The map is perfect for me with lots of lakes, gorgeous mountains and land variety. The forests are not in huge blobs like so many other maps and the tree types are mixed which I prefer. Clay does not seem abundant but is out there if you explore. Come check the server out if you are looking for a fresh start without a slog of a grind to get up and running! Edited March 30, 2020 by Kamiraa 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I relied on it so heavily in my early days on Indie that I still have little idea what agros I can take and which will leave me with nice human-shaped parcel to pick up. The idea of mysterious sudden disappearance of a server kind-of bothers me, but then for what we are paying for these servers, do we have any right to expect anything else? If craft skill can be up and running reasonably quickly, I think this one could be good to check out. I can see me merrily churning out gear and material for others to buy. Set up shop/house with a couple of others and each focus on something different. One for armor, one for melee weaps, a fletcher and bowyer. Hmmm..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2020 Playing from first day of new server ( Azura in game ) and must say this is very nice map with excelent features. Skill gain not so fast, not too slow. Need to put some effort to collect coins from hunting, so you have enough for founding your village, but also not too hard. Comunity is helpfull and think will stay for a long time here.

Posted April 13, 2020 I popped into this server for the first time today and have had a great time so far. Everyone was very welcoming and chat is nice and active. It's very exciting to find a new server that seems like a nice fit. Highly recommended! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
