Guard Tower Question

Recommended Posts

I've searched through Wurmpedia and exhausted all of my google-foo on the forums and still haven't found the answer to this seemingly noob question:

 

What does the "450" in the message below mean?

 

Quote

[08:41:57] A high guard tower. It could be improved with some stone shards. Ql: 57.6045, Dam: 0.0. The name of the founder, Gwiz, has been carved into the stone above the door. 'Gwiz 450' is engraved in a metal plaque on the door.

I've wondered that myself once or twice. Maybe something to do with date/time?

I always thought it was the number of guard towers made on the server to that point in total. so the next guard tower made on that server would be '{name of creator} 451'

But I could be wrong of course :)

No, that number is randomly assigned, it has more of an application on PvP servers where there is a role that gets event messages if towers gets damaged. The numbering helps keeping the towers apart, even though even that is not always perfect, because there has been instances of two diifferent towers having the same founder and ID number ;)

Thank you for the response, Jberg.

I'm glad your post gave me the answer to that other player's query!
