Posted December 4, 2012 After having played Wurm about 14 months and made 500,000 actions here’s my 2 cents on the game or what I would change:Char life expentancy 24 months with 25% skill passable trait to children.Have larger, independent servers. Map 8K by 8K. Have volcano erupt on old servers and raise water level few meters daily from ocean floor to force ppl to move.Have PvP and PvE on same servers. Must join the Militia in a castle to do PvP. Train to be different type (archer, horseman, etc) Only pvp can attack pvp. PvP would wear different clothes.Gates that can stay open. To allow wild animals in.Be able to resize your deed in any 4 direction.Main triple paved road from north to south and east to west with some protected area along the way for clay, tar, endless low ql ore, etc on each server.Seasons optional.Make skill gain harder past 30 or 40 and every 10 level even harder than last 10.Clock and calendar combined display below Stamina bar.Make boat go faster based on boat QL.Make cart speed faster based on cart QL.Daily 15 mins downtime-Maintenance-upgrades.Lock and key automatically named (001-999)during creation.More uses for animal fur (sail, tent, horse blanket)Have deed and writs in Token box vs carrying them.Look out tower with view from top.Make different medecine required to treat different level of wounds.Player ranking based on votes, start at 50. negative votes decrease your rating.Remove rare items. Keep game simple.Introduce 1-2 new item weekly and/or new uses for items.Remove anything old and special, ie old Xmas gifts. Set them to decay in 30 days.Remove Karma and achievement. Keep game simple.Use other form of chat (Teamspeak, Ventrillo, etc). Preventing macros and talking is better than typing.I know many of these have been asked for or mentioned before but it my complete list in one spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2012 Ok, so in response to so many changes:No to a life expectancy, that would defeat the point of skilling upNo to forcebly moving people off their home servers, that would make loads of people quitPvP and PvE don't just have different names, they are completely different styles of gameplay, you can't put them on a single serverMaybe allow gates to stay open, interesting ideaNo to being able to resize in any direction, deeds are rectangular, being able to go in 4 directions could be exploited very wellNo to triple wide road cross the serverI don't get what you mean by seasons optionalSkill gain stays same on Freedom servers please, it is however 3x skill gain at lower levels on Epic so if you want that go to EpicYou have a clock on the top bar already but a calendar button not under stamina but on the top bar would be coolBoat speed on QL would be an interesting addition to the game, would really affect the boat economy so I'd have to go with a noSame with cartsYes to a regular downtime, so that people know when to be home, not on a boat in the middle of the ocean with 5 mins till server shuts offNo to lock and key namedYes to more uses for animal furNo to deeds and writs in a token box, there is nothing wrong with handling them, people just feel better with it on their personCan't say anything on lookout tower because it wouldn't serve a function on Freedom, I'll leave it to someone from Epic to say on thatThere are already different types of medicine type things required for different wounds, no need to make it more complicatedNo to your player ranking systemAbsolutely no to removing rare items, they add a bit to the economy, help gold and silver flow between handsNo to introducing new items on a regular basis, the dev team already put all their time in fixing things and working on othersNo to removing special items, if you want one, go get one yourself from someone, they are a special item that people likeNo to removing karma and suchNo to making this game on a different form of chat, you could however use your own or add something else, if you find it hard to type then boo hooAll in all 60-70% of your suggestions will nerf the game and make it very lame for most people, I'm surprised that after more then a year of playing you find most of these ideas to be something to change. Also most of them may have been suggested(not going to look), but I would imagine that most of them have recieved bad to very bad reception by the players. This would very much make many people quit and make it lame for the rest of us. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2012 I like the idea of a player gaining reputation, although there's unfortunately no way to stop the being abused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2012 I'm not going to bother saying yes or no to each individual suggestion, but I'd say a great deal of them are a no. The ones that I do like are already suggested elsewhere and are likely under development (or at least planned) already. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2012 After having played Wurm about 14 months and made 500,000 actions here’s my 2 cents on the game or what I would change:Char life expentancy 24 months with 25% skill passable trait to children. Interesting idea, but -1Have larger, independent servers. Map 8K by 8K. Have volcano erupt on old servers and raise water level few meters daily from ocean floor to force ppl to move. -1Have PvP and PvE on same servers. Must join the Militia in a castle to do PvP. Train to be different type (archer, horseman, etc) Only pvp can attack pvp. PvP would wear different clothes. +1. PVP servers get too many bonuses, us carebear servers pay $$$ too.Gates that can stay open. To allow wild animals in. -1. Don't build a gateBe able to resize your deed in any 4 direction. no opinionMain triple paved road from north to south and east to west with some protected area along the way for clay, tar, endless low ql ore, etc on each server. +1 - IF 1 tile 'roads' are no longer protected by GMsSeasons optional. -1Make skill gain harder past 30 or 40 and every 10 level even harder than last 10. +1Clock and calendar combined display below Stamina bar. +1, as an optionMake boat go faster based on boat QL. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2012 Make cart speed faster based on cart QL. no opinionDaily 15 mins downtime-Maintenance-upgrades. +1Lock and key automatically named (001-999)during creation. +1More uses for animal fur (sail, tent, horse blanket) +1Have deed and writs in Token box vs carrying them. +1Look out tower with view from top. +1Make different medecine required to treat different level of wounds. +1Player ranking based on votes, start at 50. negative votes decrease your rating. -1. Then you get into groups of buddies who like/dislike you. And sounds like a wild/epic only thing, us freedom players get left out again as usual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Remove rare items. Keep game simple. -1. BUT allow them to be put in a bsb. Nobody in my local gives a rats *ss if we get a rare rock shard, log, shaft, mortar, peg, etc. Just something to be thrown away since it won't go into a bsb.Introduce 1-2 new item weekly and/or new uses for items. +100Remove anything old and special, ie old Xmas gifts. Set them to decay in 30 days. -1. But maybe a very slow decay rate, like 1-2 years.Remove Karma and achievement. Keep game simple. No opinion. No clue what karma (in game terms) even is.Use other form of chat (Teamspeak, Ventrillo, etc). Preventing macros and talking is better than typing. -1, already a macro prevention system in place.Just fyi - there is a low limit on how many quotes you can place in a message. Ergo, the multi-post quote reply. Edited December 4, 2012 by leaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 4, 2012 Remove anything old and special, ie old Xmas gifts. Set them to decay in 30 days.Though most people will disagree with this, I agree that special items are a bad idea, so your not alone on that one. IMO all items should be craftable by a player at any point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
