That was entertaining, but it fell apart pretty quickly afterwards iirc.
Oh man! I haven't played Wurm in forever! I suppose Its all the more reason to get back into it right? You wouldn't mind letting a lowly escaped lunatic join you would you? :P

I've been hearing a lot about Wurm, so I may well look into it.
Also, I would suggest the time-honoured Boatmurdered.

ok
I may get back into Wurm, especially with multi-floor buildings and whatnot... All my skills are above the free limit, though.
Worth noting: It's free to get a skill to level 20.00 but above that is paid. But the pay was dirt cheap last I was aware, like $5 for 2 months, or something... Still, I'm sure my farming and boat-making skills would be useful, assuming my character is still valid.
Nothing particularly wrong with playing on Serenity, just that first of all it's an old and established server, like I said. Which means that pretty much everything everwhere is built up. You'll have a really hard time finding a spot of truly wild wilderness to settle. I mean that could be a good thing - there are roads everywhere connecting everything, tunnels, canals, towers to protect from hostile creatures, people have very high skills so it's easy to get high quality tools.
But for me that's not Wurm is all about. For me Wurm is going out into the middle of nowhere and carving out your own little spot in the wilds, preferably with a group of likely-minded players. So for that kind of experience a newer, not so established server would be better. Those are the Pristine and Release servers. Those new servers also have more players playing.
So if you guys want to experience a challenge surviving and the thriving in the wild through your own "hard work and sweat", one of the new servers would be better. Just saying.
what's a newer pvp server? i wanna kill some dudes along the lineUh, I don't think they released any new servers for pvp. There's the old Chaos/Wild pvp server and then there are those four Epic cluster servers which also have pvp (Serenity, Elevation, Desertion, Affliction).
Important thing about Wurm is to acknowledge that settlements aren't permanent. You flitter in and out, move from whichever is active at the time, improve your skills but don't put a ton of investment into the infrastructure of a single village. Individuals become rather more important than a village itself - when I played it wasn't unusual to grab loose players for a few days to do things or go on pvp raids.

I agree with this. The relations you make with individual people are far more important and worthwhile to build up than some guy's dream of a giant Shinobi training village. However it's still worthwhile to work together for some common tasks. If you're in a village that's still setting up it might be worth it to help build the community buildings first (such as the kitchen, blacksmith, animal pens, whatever) before you build your own house. It'll be faster than building your own house alone, and at the same time you'll have access to it all once it's set up and ready.
Just stay away from villages that are one-man power lust dreams and look out for those that are more focused on everyone having fun.
I remember one time logging in and finding that two guys on horse back were raiding my town and I got cut down more than once trying to defend it, I was incredibly underpowered and couldn't do anything. (Although I was new so If I played a bit more I probably could have defended myself better.)
Uuuhhh.. not sure what you mean here.. you can have 70 fight skill in under a week, you get 50 weapon skill while getting your fight skill, 40 shield skill while getting 70fs AT THE LEAST. Thats enough to get in on pvp. Theres people on Elevation who go to PvP events with sub-50 fight skill. The only parts of fighting that are grindy are if you're going past 70 in any related skill for some stupid reason despite no true benefit because its all on the curve. I've managed to put long time veteran super elitist pvpers on the ropes many times in spars with my account that I've been half-assedly playing since late December, whereas theyve had theirs since the opening of the cluster. This isn't Wild anymore, this is Epic.I remember one time logging in and finding that two guys on horse back were raiding my town and I got cut down more than once trying to defend it, I was incredibly underpowered and couldn't do anything.

Not really. Combat skills in Wurm are the same as all the other skills. They are extremely grindy and there is a huge power gap even if you're just a few combat levels below the enemy. Which is another reason to not really bother with PvP in Wurm.
(Of course combat skills don't really matter all that much since pvp is usually either a gank fest or a mob fest, anyway. Kind of like Eve, actually.)
This isn't Wild anymore, this is Epic.
And not everyone is walking around in drake with farwalkers, and people actually die on epic and its more dynamic and interesting. And having 40 body strength is considered really really good.This isn't Wild anymore, this is Epic.
Yes, you are right. I've forgotten Epic has a different skill gain rate.
Welp, never been there. I'm DoomBat ingame with a brand new character. This will be interesting.
So, what the heck am I doing? And is Serenity less built-up than Freedom?
Welp, never been there. I'm DoomBat ingame with a brand new character. This will be interesting.Ey. Serenity is much less built up, and what you're doing is.. getting on the bay12 ferry.
So, what the heck am I doing? And is Serenity less built-up than Freedom?
Uuuhhhhm, I started the game up and it immediately crashed. So I started it up again but the help dialogue that came up before didn't come up. So, I have no idea how to change to the correct server or do anything...
Girlinhat in Serenity, skills are 20-50 on different ones, but I'm currently not prem so they're a little low. I'm also appearing with no items. I had a lot of good leather armor and a sword, but got eaten by a wolf because my stuff had unequipped and I couldn't get it back on, and then it disappeared T_T
I was going to play this game, but I never seem to can. I get screens just not disappearing when I try to move or close them, then the graphics flip out, then I have to quit because obviously I can't do shit like that.It's a problem with your core settings, you have to tweak some things in how the client handles stuff. Technical forums can help you. In other news

About 20 hours into the new settlement, we got a farm, a house, I've been smithing tools and mining rock to make some sturdier abodes. Oh and we have horses too I guess
I'll try and hop on. I've never been part of a bay12 game community, and this looks like a good one to join in.Remember to join Serenity on Epic cluster, Jenn-Kellon. You can message me when you're in, same name.
Character name is Treemeister.
Where even is the town? I'm standing next to a bunch of mine entrances next to a big lake.If you can make your way back to spawn in Strongbox, we can come pick you up.
Lo there was the battle of that place we decided to make a farm on. Many brave soul was felled and many a spider was ganked. And by that I mean I died to like 4 spiders and a troll.
There I am running through the woods on a cart with a passenger and I'm like 'dont look behind us'. A
I got savaged by a green wildcat while exploring the town. I have zero clue what I'm doing in combat.Whats your name?

There I am running through the woods on a cart with a passenger and I'm like 'dont look behind us'. As a forestfull of baddies are chasing us, I get near basecamp and I'm like 'hey everyone' 'might wanna hide in the mine'
So there I am, winded, horse gettin killed, being attacked by multiple animals. No stamina, nothin. I died, but we won the day. Anyway all is back in order and I'm making four of everything. A noahs ark of tools
So, I keep hearing about this Wurm thing, and then usually about how it sucks, and how grindy it is. I did have some fun with Haven and Hearth though... so, would you guys recommend it, to a new player who isn't planning to spend money on it? And if so, how do I meet you guys in-game what skills would you recommend I take/do you need?It doesnt suck, its grindy if you make it grindy but it neednt be, its more like its a time sink to accomplish even little things. I say give it a shot and see for yourself, going the f2p route you lose nothing but your time by trying it out if you dont like it.

I started yesterday, and I had absolutely no clue where to start once I was brought to the camp.
I seriously wanna get home. Is anyone on? Has anyone touched my things?Well I'm here with you. Now that drake spirits ran me down, I'm also have to wait for the next ferry.
Well, I'm in SB, awaiting a ferry, foraging, and getting my ass beat by green cats.At least I'm not the only one.
Gonna come on and join now.Shoot me a PM when you get in and I'll ferry you about
I think my character is on serenity, but he may have been deleted.
Protip: No creatures may move through a doorway or through a mine entrance - some may bash down buildings and gates, but to my knowledge NOTHING will naturally chase you across a mine/outside boundary. They can only be lead by rope.
Heres a map for everyone to know how to get to where we are in case noone can drive you or you're off exploringSpoiler (click to show/hide)
It's really cool seeing this put in perspective.
Guys, if you get on, be careful, I haven't seen any around, but Nogumps spawned a while ago.Every time the people on Freedom complete a mission, some Valrei creatures spawn, commonly Nogump. They seem to select an online player and pop up near them about a minute after the message goes out. You can tell they've spawned near you because the terrain will 'blink' briefly as it loads up the new models, causing a moment of lag for you.
I don't actually know where the mine is, so hopefully there isn't another attack before I do.Guys, if you get on, be careful, I haven't seen any around, but Nogumps spawned a while ago.Every time the people on Freedom complete a mission, some Valrei creatures spawn, commonly Nogump.

They cannot pass through locked doors, and nothing will follow you underground. Bolting to the mine at full speed is a VERY useful idea.
Are we actually doing the voice chat stuff, though? I logged onto the blaizecraft TS3 server but no one's on. Just wondering if no one's using it or if it's just a bad time. I'm fine with Mumble or Raidcall as well (not really a fan of vent).

That would be quite helpful actually if we got a teamspeak server going, it would make coordination a lot easier.
Yeah we had blaizecraft floating around the first day, it was me and two others in there and then the next day it was a bit 'eh' and I didnt hop back in.
I've decided I'd like to join in on a B12 community for once. I have no experience with Wurm and I'm not exactly certain what we're doing. Can anyone bring me up to speed?

It's a survival townbuilder/get eaten by everything that moves.
I'm online, ready for the ferry when anyone can get me. Username is CrescentSickle (same as what I'd be using for voicechat).
So a champion troll is trolling us right now ... =(
Wish I chould go on, but my EMail fucked up the registration :/
Is it just me or can anyone else not temper their metal objects? :-\

WARNING: I have a Drakespirit egg. I assume.
A few days ago, we had Drakespirits spawn on top of me in the farm. I ran. Apparently there was some meat laying outside, because one must have eaten and laid an egg. It appears identical to a chicken egg, and has ~10% chance of hatching.
We're gonna see what happens.
FreemiumOutside of this is sounds like a fun game but the freemium bit is killing it for me. Count me out of this game.

Really, saying that you can play without premium is a farce. You can play without paying, if you're crafty enough to make in-game coin, but that's a whole different issue.

herro all, havent been on loads due to work, mite try and hop on for an hr or two in a bit. I hope all of you have been utilizing my time away to learn how to handle yourselves?We've been using it to oh god nogumps and trolls
Emergency circumstances have arisen on my home planet. I'm probably going to die ganked by 20 BL. Wish me luck.
Update: Coverpuma and Ivy are the loudest bastards who have a room, 3 sons of Uttacha show up the moment they start getting it on, we slayed them and laid them as sacrifice to Scrappy.
Or rather, 2 were laid as sacrifice and 1 was kept by Coverpuma as a outlet for his necrophiliac habits.
Someone named Glasse is in local. Saw him on a boat yesterday and rumor has it he's HotS. Halp.He's admitted to being a Blacklight follower. They're a lot less dangerous with the new patch making their trolling illegal and causing guards to attack them.
We're on Serenity in the Epic cluster (At the end of the tutorial it's the portal on the right)
When you finally join the server use /tell on either doombat, coverpuma, or lestus and tell us you're in strongbox. We only have access to rowboats so it'll take a while for use to get to you though
Yeah, and that's just for two months, so about 10 dollars a month or so...
Also, hope you like meat, because apparently we're swimming in it.
And it smells.

Okay, I've set up a character and my name is Squitange. I think I found the place we're waiting at, when is the next pickup?
Got confirmation. 140kg of lead for 140kg of cotton, on neutral ground on the shore of Horseshoe Lake.
He says it'll be ready by this evening plus transport time. I'd prefer it if we could have a couple of semi-competent fighters along for security from mobs and such.
EDIT: I'm thinking the lemon grove marked on here (http://map.bunnyxd.com/) for the trade?
EDIT2: Time estimate is 2 hours from the time he starts working to completion, but we'd have to pick it up. +1 day for delivery.
EDIT3: We may get lucky on the delivery time, there's apparently a lost rowboat near the island this guy's on that may be functional. That would reduce the time for delivery considerably, probably not more than another hour or two to the original time. Pickup is likely going to be tomorrow afternoon because of his local time.
The deal is happening tomorrow apparently.
What did you do to my boat?
Well, I don't know what the hell I'm doing and I was just murdered by some guy on a horse, and so I logged out because I didn't know what I was doing, and then I got back on the forum and apparently we got the boat back so I'm back on and I still don't know what's happening.
Course this all happens as soon as I log off..
The good news is that I'm making another rowboat, but it's gonna take awhile to put together with 6 shipbui
Did you not hear? We got it back.
Zehive, if you come online, i'll bring a large maul over.
I found another iron vein in the mine near the houses. Could a prospector check that one, please?
I just looked at the farm and noticed that about half the crops were missing, did they wilt and die maybe?Got harvested, will replant when they all mature and get harvested.
Got in touch with a Vynora enchanter, Hayden, offering to do enchants if I provide the sacrifice material. I'm going to be polite and give him extra. Going for CoC to begin with, any requests otherwise?
What's your name in game?NyanScout.
Nosfirebird is in local and I see sadhop the horse, which I don't recognize.When in doubt, scurry into cave.
Why did we set up so close to him again?
bagsecg kill him and guard his corpse make sure he cannot get to itJK people cannot loot a JK corpse. The main goal would be to put his corpse inaccessible or get an enemy nation to loot it.
steal his shit put it into a clay melting pot
melt it down and use it to make a large anvil named
"haha this is made of your items"

He knows he's exploiting the system here.
No, that's the whole problem. He's a JK citizen, worshiping Libila, and harassing legit JK people.
Wait, how is he getting into people's houses? I thought you needed to be invited in order to get into someone's house... unless I'm missing something?
EDIT: You people don't put locks on your doors do you?
Bagsecg + enough referrals = deed, right?more or less, yes
Oh no, not yet. Maybe in like, 2 quarters of an hour. I'm actually getting some Java issues, and I still ahve to run through the tut.

Guys, don't come on. We've got BLers on our ground, not Nosfirebird, but Grimgat, Koukiuchiyama, Naqoyqatsi and Yellowkatt. Ssalami and Haydn say they're BL spies. They're picking locks around the settlement. Zehive and Girlinhat, do you know these people?Dont know them but if I had the ability to log on earlier I wouldve just killed them.
Alright, it's sorta safe now. They left local, but Cobb and Ssalami are reporting them in Bubblegum Crater.
Oh no, not yet. Maybe in like, 2 quarters of an hour. I'm actually getting some Java issues, and I still ahve to run through the tut.
You mean... half an hour? Is it normal to break up time like that wherever you're from? Serious question, not trying to be a dick.
They're dead. Cobb and Godcomplex dealt with them.
Whaaaat?Oops. I swear there was a Woot! or something in there somewhere...
Me and Lestus (Ozy) took the liberty of planting some crops. We'll see what we can do about the wall.Technically it's just the harvest that matters. The current farm has a 2x10 and a 4x10 section, I usually planted 10 of the same crop to harvest, and if there were less than 10 I'd put them near the house to collect more seeds. Either way, you can plant and remove weeds, it's only the actual harvest that matters on quality and amount.
Guys, I've found an EVEN MORE lucrative deal for dirt. Opheliasnow is buying at the rate of 2s/1k. The only problem is that (s)he lives in Nightspire, which is on the far north of Serenity. Zehive, your knarr would be very useful right now to make some money, as Ophelia will pay extra for a delivery. Either way, get digging MOAR, mates!You owe me 10c :P
I don't think we should move until we're ready to place a settlement token, actually. It's already a huge pain ferrying people from SB to river lake, and the place they suggested is even further away I think, past canals filled with anacondas...It's actually considerably closer, with one less canal filled with anacondas. We also get friendly neighbors, apparently.
I don't care where we move, I just wanna go.
I've been too scared to get on.
I thought your computer was broken/couldn't log in though?Fixed the computer, spoke with a GM who reset my passwords to new ones.
I may get one sometime soon then. Work has a really crazy schedule this coming week so I'm not sure how often I'll be on =pI'm on Ele roaming the server atm killing stuff as I go along, shooting for 80fs and watching out for BL activity. But people are sorely needed over here, and its not bad or scary or anything.
Meh. I sorta want to stay on JKH. Many friends have been made here by me. ^_^
