Okay Tyrone fucking killed me.

If you have a legit client and need the mods here you go!

ok am I supposed to go to WL or BL? downloading this shit now.

>>15002910

If it's your first time playing then you should read the wiki and dick around near spawn. White light and Black light are for becoming a follower of a god and isn't something new players should worry about.

>>15002910

Your first priority around spawn should be foraging tiles with trees to find a branch and an iron rock so you can properly make yourself a carving knife so you can make other tools that don't suck. While you're doing that, go into the global IRC chat to see if any villages wanna invite you. You'll hate the game if you go hermit your first time playing

is this going to blow up like all other servers after a month because an admin decides to shoah the server with lava, or a patch breaks stats of a single character (mine) and causes the server owner to literally shut it down?

>>15002970

Only time will tell

>trying to build a comfy little house underground

>fuck it up at literally every single step

being new to wurm is a real fuckin abstract kind of hell

>>15003235

these from current server?

>>15002970

So far the only bitching is over the map now being "too big" despite everyone demanding it. The only thing that'll hurt population is the autism of the population itself. Clowns need to not burn themselves out chasing stats. Again. Otherwise, no issues. Admins seem to know what they're doing.

>>15003262

First pic for sure is from the last serb.

>>15003279

Nobody wanted 8k except people who didn't understand how big it is. The biggest 8k shill thought that Broschwitz was 8k when it was actually 4k.

>>15003358

>>15003417

Something to remember for the winter serb.

>>15002970

Lava was a demon invasion event, like the undead camp and troll fort. Server owner flipped out, rolled back and I guess he died at some point.

>I bought this game for this

yeah I'm disappointed, way too fucking grindy and tedious, muh 70 cents

How far along is everyone? I was debating whether or not to jump in the mix and with Wurm it feels like if you miss your ship on getting a decent role then being a villager just kind of sucks

>>15003693

Depends on the group I guess. Some groups are definitely progressing faster than others and it also depends on the role you want to take up. Plus some roles are good to have more people in anyways. What are you trying to do?

>>15003683

It was 1$ on Humble Bundle a while ago. Get the game from a CD key reseller like Kinguin, G2A, CDkeys, whatever you feel like.

>Steam is smoking dick with this price

I get it's fun to shit on steam but the price is decided by devs, not them.

>>15003713

I was thinking of doing masonry. Every time I pick this game up I pick some role I feel like needs doing but always regret not doing masonry and making public buildings.

>>15003836

Come into the IRC channel and I'll take you into my village, we need masons.

>>15003871

I gotta download the game and my current internet situation has me seeing about less than 5% of advertised speeds so I'll do it overnight. Should have the issue resolved in the next day or two

>>15003890

Alrighty, we'll be here when you get it downloaded.

i'm the retarded newbie and i'm definitely not poopsocking or autoclicking because i have a job and can't play much. trust me man, instead of focusing on being DA BEST at something just do something you think is fun, or at the very least something that will enable you to do something fun

>>15004756

>joining the rat race instead of enjoying your time

I have been doing jackshit every since the server launched, just doing whatver I feel like doing, I only have one skill above 30 and its digging because I decided to flatter a fucking mountaintop.

Am also the mayor of my village, you know who I am

The game is about having fun, m8. Poopsocking to be #1 then leaving 3 days in because of burnout aint no fun at all.

what youre looking for is a new host tbh fampai

>>15009585

>you are meant to replace those files, not to put them side by side

That would kinda defeat the purpose of trying to compile it my self, would it not?

What could I be doing wrong when I compile it? It should be exactly identical to the original because I used the source code from github.

Do I have to set some kind of main entry point?

>>15009632

>would it not

no, not replacing them makes no sense if you are compiling from the source.

The only situation where you don't replace is when you make a mod of a mod, and that's dumb and I don't know if it's possible without days of work

>>15009631

Host is fine, you fucks are just having a blast complaning.

If we restart, this time leave kingdoms on and don't fucking talk about them, just let people choose whatever shit and we can lock/freeze assholes and cliques out of our clique shit if needed. Kingdomless was retarded and the map is so big I was bored to fuck just getting hell horses and back, I'll never see 80% of it because having 8 straight hours to head out and back is not worth the effort of travelling through nothingness.

4k tops, we want people to actually be able to get out of the door and back in a session ffs.

>>15009672

It already had 9 for yes when he posted it. Totally legit, amirite?

>>15009674

>If we restart

We aren't.

>>15009674

I'd say 3x/3x as well to be honest.

>>15009691

What are our current rates?

>>15009708

3x/5x

overall the action speed makes little difference

>>15009659

I think you misunderstood famalam. The original mod is in a backup folder and only my own compiled one is in the mods folder.

I'm comparing them to troubleshoot and figure out why in the world its not working even if they're both from the exact same source code.

>>15009722

have you tried checking the error log?

>>15009674

We could do an exodus to another map like WRC.

>>15009728

I tried searching everywhere for error logs, searched entire wurm folder for "exception" and found jack shit.

>>15009592

I can only speak for myself, but, if a restart happens, I ain't playing.

Maybe I would if it was a pubbie server, so we had all bros in one faction, and didn't split up so needlessly.

>>15009765

If a pubbie server gets cracked too, sure.

>>15009720

War and pillaging isn't really my thing I like making shit.

>>15009753

That'd fizzle I'm sure, at this point I think we have to chalk it up a lesson learned for the future unless we can take all our skillz with us to a new map of course.

>>15009780

Even if we can take our skills, it'd be pretty miserable.

I've ground out 1k mortar.

I don't really want to do that again.

80kph carts and we'd be ok-ish

>>15009757

tried the client.log?

There is no restart. Play or don't.

>>15009789

That could work too. Doubling movement speed would be the same thing as halving map size. I'm pretty sure there's a mod for it.

>>15009817

Shit, that's basically what I did. I gae out something like five or six copies.

I basically skipped work's daily McDonalds run.

>>15009821

Know that the key is extremely appreciated and was put to very good use.

>>15009783

Is it actually available for 1 dollar anywhere or is that just in the past?

How fucking hard is that to understand you stupid cunt?

>>15010125

Yes, let's have multiple Wurm threads, I bet that won't make the mods delete them when they've already deleted just one being up. Fucking kill yourself.

>>15010142

Let's delete this one? How hard is that?

Not that much will be lost anyway, 8k disagreement fags are in every thread.

>>15010085

Please be careful how you upload the keys.

From what I understand some Bots do exist that seek Out CD keys in text.

You may want to either put them in an image or blot out 1 odd letter that you tell everyone to add. As in, censor all letter As.

>>15010169

I think the new plan is to move into a pubbie server.

I've worked a helluva lot, ground up some metric ton of mortar and brick, spent ages mining, and generally raising my skills, yet, personally, I'm willing to restart on a pubbie server. I want to recreate russerver days.

>>15010188

you a fucking champ, been using the pirate client even having steam because of that

not that I am going to test it now, but now I know i can

>>15010204

It doesn't have to be a Russian server. But, I agree. Pvp or get out. At least when it comes to pubbies.

>>15010243

>>15010533

Sounds fair to me. Maybe when I get home I'll start the exploration.

I may even try to get into contact with a few admins or some jazz.

I'm eager to see great battles, the terror of pubbies, and endless bullying combined with shit shacks and tent cities.

>>15010533

Not to sound like a shill but if you are looking for a public server that is already established you can play on revenant. The owner is a very active modder with a cool head. The rules are no hacking/botting. Botting is very hard to detect and you can probably get away with it 9/10 times. I bot all the time.

https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/162067-revenant-modded-pvepvp-3x-action-new-skillgain/

>>15010628

Is it PVP?

>>15010653

There are two servers/maps, whatever you want to call them, one is pve and the other is pvp.

How these normalfags can tolerate PVE fuckery is beyond me. Its just a circlejerk. Without the threat of getting attacked in the wild or havnig your base looted its just a boring hugbox. Sadly the vast majority of normalfags host PVE servers because muh creations and sheeit. implying raiders take the time to destroy everything you built instead of just grabbing what they can carry and leave.

>>15010628

>>15010680

Hows the population? What fun is it if we cant bully the normalfags there?

>>15010858

Truthfully, I prefer PVE, as I prefer more peaceful less risky operations. But I fully recognize that worm without PVP is going to be boring.

So long as Town owners don't get on my ass for building needless buildings, or start bitching at me for Effectiveness over a Aesthetics, that typically doesn't matter anyway.

>>15010917

For myself the size isn't really an issue as it is the split of everyone, where it feels like we've got nobody really around.

Feels dead, playing with effectively only five people

>>15010858

The pve is obviously the most populated with the population ranging from a few during the slow hours up to the 40-50s during peak.

The pvp server is mostly dominated by one group which causes most people to be skittish about joining it for fear of being overwhelmed. With a large enough group though, they can be defeated which will also cause more of the scared people to take a second look at joining, at least to check out the pvp specific events there(hota and area depots which is basically a supply drop)

>>15010917

I am someone who has played in previous servers but is not in the current. I am mostly playing on this server to see all the stuff that sindusk adds to his and will take his ideas for an 8chan server in the future.

>>15010917

Anon, I've been here since Brocelona.

I'm just sick and tired of the constant stupid fuck ups. I mean christ you'd think after all the servers we've been through after all the grinding and world building we've done people would've learned some fucking lesson.

But no, it's always something.

>Disc0rdfags ruining shit with their stupid drama.

>Retarded as fuck maps with zero clay.

>Too small a map.

>Too large a map.

>Too many people botting.

>Too fast rates.

It's always fucking something, and I'm sick of it. But no, I'm "a shill" because I'm calling out retarded decisions that should've been easily fucking avoided and the people who made those decisions have their heads so far up their own ass they can't admit to their mistakes.

>>15011030

To be fair fuck off Skyrimfag

>>15010942

The kingdom thing happened exactly because there was barely any split, thereby making no competition. It makes at least a little sense, imo. One thing to get over the emptiness feeling is to join the serb chat >>15003008 and to not force yourself to grind away for a week without exploring anything to find anyone. There's at least five settlements I'm aware of. I don't know where they all are, but they're there.

>Feels dead, playing with effectively only five people.

iktf. I seem to be the only one actively going in my town. But that's not really a game-ender, is it? So a town folds, find a new one. I've done that once this serb, might do it again. That's Wurm.

>>15010948

>for an 8chan server in the future.

If I can be difficult, my only issue is that there are maybe too many mods. I'm sure I'm in the minority there. I find it weird that crops grow so damn fast while trees barely at all. Doesn't break my gameplay, though. Doesn't make me spam the thread trying to get the serb killed.

>>15011017

If there's anything I think has been nailed down is that 4k maps are the way to go and absolutely nothing else. Otherwise, we're pretty okay with settings, or so it seems to me.

Honestly lads I think we ought to find a populated PVP serb whose badmins aren't massive faggots and all form one village and go bully the fuck out of normalfags.

>>15011055

I am always in the server chat. It does not help with the feeling of loneliness, as I never see anyone for much of my play, and so I feel my great works of building are for largely nothing.

There is just enough people currently in My Tribe to justify me continuing to build like this.

But like I said if two of the regulars quit, or maybe five of the Irregulars, I probably will leave.

>>15011055

its not the mods itslfs thats the problem then, its that they were implemented half-assed, or some of them are outdated for the current version (looking at you, betterdig)

>>15011056

We already have a serb we are using. There is no point moving to another serb, much less one run by people that aren't from here. Enough with this meme.

>>15011065

I meant in the sense of seeing what settlement is open to new peeps you can hop to if yours goes belly up from the usual issues. I don't know, I just keep getting the feeling that everyone gets hooked up on issues that aren't really there to get hooked up on.

>>15011017

>rates too slow/fast

Rates will always be fast until you get into the higher levels, I never understood how people don't understand that. Sleep powder/beds/CoC/BotD are things as well.

>>15011030

>maps are too big

>portals turn it into skyrim

iirc portals only work when connected to a highway system which requires work and defense if pvp

>>15011055

>too many mods

It depends on what the mods all do, if they're all complete game changing I can understand your point of view but a lot of the mods that servers list are really small/quality of life things like dig to cart.

>trees grow slow and crops are fast

To be fair that is realistic, but forests exist for a reason, you can also make your own. I get that some things in the game as way too fucking slow like harvest seasons taking weeks. There is also a mod that allows trees to be combined which allows you combine two different trees to get a large amount of a certain type. For example, I can combine all these chestnut logs into 1 willow log that I have to get an "infinite" amount of willow.

>>15011093

I'm fine with staying in current serb to tbphwyf.

>>15011284

>hota

I miss it. Isn't it possible to still implement HOTA on PVP?

>>15010628

This server looks pretty damn good, to be honest. Only issue I spot is the weird skillgain shit. That and maybe the priest jazz meaning that pretty much everyone is a priest of someone.

>>15011341

Priest restrictions are just a ploy by Rolf to get people to pay extra premium fees for priest alts anyways.

>>15011341

Ah, wait, one issue:

>

Zero-Risk PvP

Players do not drop their items upon death. Instead, any repairable items take heavy damage. This excludes items without the ability to be "repaired" such as food, ropes, cotton, etc.

Resurrection stones now protect players from losing skills or affinity on death. If the killing player does not get an affinity because a resurrection stone was used, they will instead get silver for killing the target (from the King's Coffers via the amount paid for the Resurrection Stone).

These changes make it very minimal risk to participate in the PvP server. The spoils of victory is the objective you're after, and not the loot of the opponent.

It's not the worst. It does mean that I will probably actually fight people, as the coward I am, but some of you guys might not like it.

>>15011365

Can you raid enemy towns?

>>15011370

I do not see mention of it, unfortunately. I'm going to go with "yes", but, if everyone just respawns with whatever they have, they're probably going to just carry valuables on them.

Oh, though there is this:

> The arena is seamlessly tied in with the Revenant PvE map. Items and skills will transfer from Revenant to Arena

Means that most shit'll be on the PvE server.

>>15011382

I'll never understand why people are such vaginas about items on a high-rate Wurm Unlimited server, it takes such little effort to make new equipment when the action timers are 5x. If anything, losing all your stuff will keep the servers alive by giving armorsmiths more work to do. If everyone just has permanent 90 ql armor, why do they even need an armorsmith anymore?

>>15011341

The skillgain curve, from what I understand, is to allow newer players to get to a decent skill quickly, but also allow veterans. People come and go and it allows a dedicated person to become the town's new X instead of causing the town to fall apart because the blacksmith decided to rage quit.

>>15011404

And yet people are still armorsmiths in servers with no PvP

>>15011416

I'm at level 5 in my path.

>>15011370

You can raid towns on the pvp map of course.

>>15011382

>they're probably going to just carry valuables on them

This is mostly untrue because of the heavy damage items will take. That being said it is only on items that can be repaired, like armor/weapon/tools, and not on things such as pelts/whetstones/etc.

>Means that most shit'll be on the PvE server.

Yes, it is the most populated by far because of the dominating pvp group that scares away newcomers. The skills you have carry over between maps. This also makes it so that people/towns will have two villages, one on pve and one on pvp, where the pve town is the one that holds all their valuables. That being said, there are items that can not be transfered to the pve map.

>>15011404

Because when people get high ql items, they tend to want to enchant the shit out of them and cause them to shatter. Or they use them in pvp which on this server causes them to take heavy damage. Something to consider as well is that 100ql items on this server that are impable/repairable do not take damage, unless enchantment fails or used on the pvp map.

>>15011428

To elaborate, meditations gains are locked at like 5 per day once you hit 20 when they shouldn't be, because like this it would take months to get the skill up even to 40.

>>15011439

2k would be a few hours from one side to another and roughly several thousand times the size of a counter-strike map, have you ever played Wurm before?

>>15011444

yes, and 2k is not "a few hours" to go from one side to the other it's more like 20 minutes at most.

>>15011444

>2k would be a few hours from one side to another

You mean like 30 minutes with a decent cart?

>>15011444

to the point where on a 2k map you can see a mountain on the other side of it, it's within rendering distance at medium to low lod

>>15011446

So that's a "no"

>>15011447

>>15011448

Try playing the game.

>there are people who are actually asking for a 2k map again

>>15011470

No one is, I'm just pointing out that it's not as small as people think it is.

>>15011473

it's absurdly small and kills the exploration aspect of the game. there isn't single wurm unlimited server in existence that has more than 1 player on it that runs a 2k map.

almost all popular wurm unlimited servers (given popular is relative), run 4k+ maps and the vast majority run a pve connected to a pvp.

>>15011365

> Zero-Risk PvP

They just had to fuck it up with some stupid rule, didn't they?

>>15011489

Problem is all those normalfaggots will just take their most valuable shit into pve serrver, and there is riskless pvp (aka pve "pvp" pussy hugbox) so there is little point to even raiding except to troll.

>>15012075

alot of servers negate this with what i assume are mods that say you can't level past 50-60 or something in the pve, you must do it in pvp for skills to start ticking, and the same with items. they'll set a max ql on the pve to 60 or something and anything higher must be made on the pvp.

>>15011365

>>15012075

> Players do not drop their items upon death. Instead, any repairable items take heavy damage.

this is some pretty faggot shit though. PVP must have extreme risk this casualfaggotry is unacceptable.

>>15012075

>>15012178

It's pretty gay, but, at least you get affinity, and can burn their houses down.

My biggest concern is them just respawning and joining back into the frey.

Supposedly things are damaged bad, though.

>>15011030

Thing is there's actually some shit to see in Skyrim vs the nothing that comprises this map.

>>15011056

You'll search for that forever.

>>15011444

He was being facetious you dink, however a 2k map would actually be better than the endless chore of getting anywhere in this serb.

>>15011470

8k is ridiculous and kills the game past a couple of hours travel cos there's nowhere to see or stay once you're out there. There's 'NOTHING' on a clean Wurm map, no normalfags, no builds, minus DMshit we have to make everything of interest ourselves. If there were another 50 people on top of what we have then *maybe* you could chop the map in half and we'd be comfy.

>>15013274

Isn't the game about building shit anyway?

A smaller world isn't going to do anything but put people closer together.

If that were the case, you'd really need to figure out how kingdoms would work.

So are we moving or not? I don't want to start working on an autism project if we're about to quit.

>>15013206

>who are you

It's almost adorable.

>>15014115

Try reading the thread. Nothing is happening to the serb.

>>15013289

>figure out how kingdoms would work

What do you mean by this?

>>15013206

Is standard /v/ policy when encountering newfags in the wild to stick a sword in his ass, or if I join do I have a chance?

Don't know if I want to bother grinding for hours if I'll get immediately slaughtered by all the old fags whenever I run into them.

>>15013289

Is it feasible for me to build a small house somewhere in the wilderness by myself? I don't have time to reliably contribute to a town, but scraping out my own hovel and travelling to towns to trade whatever resources I can collect sounds comfy, if such a thing is feasible without any npc's.

>>15014411

You could just say something that identifies you. But dicks will be dicks.

>I don't have time to reliably contribute to a town

Then just do some sort of job that doesn't require you to be on 24/7 like cooking/jew smithing/animal fucking/farming. If you make a deed you can join in an alliance with another deed and they will know automatically not to kill you. I doubt it works cross-kingdom so you will still need to watch out for others.

Separate a smith from his ore and you lose your jew.

>>15014411

cecil is an obnoxious cuckchanner who makes a constant ass of himself. him being hunted and killed is a little out of the norm. also you can still join a village even if you're not an autistic neet.

>>15014411

Join the serb chat, don't be a dick, at least try to understand the game. This ups your chances of not being immediately hunted like poor little fuckboi Cecil.

>>15014440

>>15014481

>>15014494

Thanks for the info fam, might try to fire it up sometime tonight

>>15014411

You'll be fine, as long as you aren't a whiny cunt who keeps calling the game 'chit'.

Most folk are quite helpful.

I was wondering what the fuck was a ceciltwo doing in the fucking spawn

Glad I got the origins story

>>15014848

How do you light shit without flint and steel, anyway?

>>15014930

you man up and hunt a lava spider for it's coal, you baby

>>15014974

Wew, seriously?

They've never heard of the two-stick method for firemaking ,I guess. Fucking Rolf.

>>15014995

Sounds like a good mod idea.

>>15015010

Two shafts or two branches, and some wemp, I'd say. Should be simple enough. Takes significant damage whenever lighting stuff.

>>15015010

I once did a mod that added a bow version of the two sticks lighter. Never was used in any server at all and probably never will, since I lost it

>>15014411

>Is it feasible for me to build a small house somewhere in the wilderness by myself?

it depends on you really. you'll have to look after 100% of your own needs by yourself which is more work than you think when you factor in the following

>you will have nobody to help you cut wood/mine stone to build a home, so you will be devoting literal hours to doing so just to build a decent house

>you will have nobody to fight for you, so you will be devoting roughly two hours to getting fighting up to 20 in order to not be slaughtered by wild pigs

>you will have nobody to cook for you, meaning that you will need to increase fighting in order to kill animals in order to butcher food in order to cook food do you see where i'm going with this

i mean it's totally doable especially if you're autistic enough, i just think that it sounds like a job more than a game at that point

>>15015730

Hermiting is not that hard, don't be a fag.

I started this game as a hermit, it's literally the best learning experience

>>15015787

While true, it's also the worst experience for sticking with the game. It truly brings the grind out

>>15015730

>>15015787

>>15015798

if the server has an epic curve it's way easier. you can grind up to a decent level fairly quickly. default wurm online is stupid slow and your going to get wrecked constantly.

being a hermit isn't terrible because you get the experience of building your own shit out in the middle of nowhere, but it will likely cause you to quit earlier. the grind will eventually cause you to loose interest and burn out. wurm grind is real, which is why scripting things and running it overnight is halfway accepted. somethings can be botted with automouse/autokeyboard. in most games obviously this is considered cheating but frowned on heavily but in wurm the grind can get so stupid it's considered a way of life.

>>15015827

>if the server has an epic curve

It doesnt, which is honestly a massive shame.

>>15015827

I assure you my interest is very tight and very wet

>>15014327

Who can pvp with anyone, what cliques are established, which kingdoms are forced on which people, how many kingdoms there are to compete with eachother, if there's limited space for resources such as clay that need to be either shared or fought over, that sort of thing.

I feel something is missing here.

>>15016104

You might be using a crude knife

In which case, you're royally fucked and need to scavenge for branches.

>>15016117

Looks that way, and i can't find any from foraging.

>>15016157

forace in forests, it's faster but still pretty hard to find branches

>>15016195

>and longlasting

because people are too busy improving macros and bots to spend time shitposting

So with only crude items, how do I progress? I feel like I'm missing something to make the jump from caveman to peasant.

>>15016291

It's painstakingly slow unless you get someone to give you a bunch of ~60-70 HQ tools and supplies. Then it becomes a lot easier to skill up into the middle levels and become self-sufficient.

>>15016291

Forage a branch from around a tree, and make a shaft out of it.

That's the first step.

>>15016291

>>15016310

Generally speaking, that's why you join a village.

>>15016291

>scavenge for branch

>scavenge for rocks or dig a mine and find iron

>make carving knife

>use carving knife and more iron to make regular tools

Really you should see if you can find a village that'll take you

>>15016291

https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Starting_with_Nothing

>>15016318

>make carving knife from straight iron

https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Carving_knife

I don't think thats how it works.

>>15016318

I'll definitely agree with this guy. Get a village to take you in and ask if you can learn to make some regular tools with low quality iron. Crude tools were an interesting choice, but it clearly was rough for the newer players. If you are still in the spawn, there should be a nice little iron vein you can get some iron from there. Foraging on tree tiles (keybind it, I use the 8 - = keys for those kinds of things) will yield you a branch, but that could take you a while.

The regular tools don't damage as easily, especially since you can repair them and once you learn the materials you need, you can easily learn to improve them. The addition of a new smith will definitely be welcomed by plenty of villages, and once you learn that and have your tools, you can try to branch out into other things. If you press N you can also get a crafting book that'll tell you how to make things.

>>15016291

Also apparently foraging on tree tiles gibs higher chance of finding branches.

>>15016350

Sorry, I forgot, make a small anvil first

>>15016291

It sucks. What you need is to dig the iron in the mine at spawn, scavenge for a knife, and then get a basic toolset. That has to be done, effectively, before you can leave.

>>15016434

>left last night not knowing this

fuck

>>15016585

You can survive. Dig a hole, and check for iron. If there's no iron near by, go somewhere else, and repeat.

If you break your tools, see the 'starting with nothing' guide.

how many of you are playing? I kinda want to get back into it but don't want to play knowing that there are only few of us in empty world.

>>15016981

Somewhere between twenty and thirty at any given time.

>>15016987

on a server or village?

>>15016995

The server.

>>15017011

how many villages?

>>15017014

Not a clue.

>>15017014

about 5 or 6 I think

>>15018867

git gud

>>15018867

>gathering point

The fuck are you talking about?

>>15018938

>gathering point

>The fuck are you talking about?

seriously, at this point, everyone should know about it

>>15018981

how long would it take a player to build an estate of this magnitude?

>>15019050

a day to get the masonry to do that and a couple of days to get the carpentry then getting the materials might just be a day if you can bum from a mine to get all the rock if you're an utter NEET

>>15019050

I had started on the center portion on one server, with all the resources to do it, and it took me give or take about three days to gather that.

The ground level took me a day to build. Never finished the higher levels before the server died, unfortunately. I'd say all in all, it'd probably take you about one week.

>>15019050

Alone probably 2-4 weeks of play, but if you are working with others and don't need to grind skills and just get the resources you could probably build it in a week. A lot of things in Wurm it's so much better to get people with skills to do it for you.

I mean just gathering the materials you really need a cart, to make a cart you need skills and materials. To get the materials you need to walk a lot so it's useful to have a horse. The most important tool in Wurm is rope and you can probably guess the reasons why.

As much as I wish I didn't see why everyone's quitting I do. Fuhrer's right, it feels like there's no sense of community here like everyone's just going through the motions. And as much as I love wurm it's, well starting to get to me too. From how I see it there are a few problems that can be fixed via the server, the fact the map is 8k, there are no real quests just half ass'd events, there's no real enemy like there was on the last server, and everythings been rushed. I'll still probably play just to chase after those glimpses of the old days but I know it wont be the same. Maybe give it a few (six) months and we'll have a server to play on that's not under cooked. But unfortunately I doubt it, as with most communities, Wolfspider's addition is the sign that its going through its death throes. Maybe someday we'll all come back together again in a new game and make new memories. Until then fags, see you around.

>>15019152

To build a house like that, you mainly need a BSB, rope, and time.

The bulk of the skills'll come from working on the resources. Cart is probably needed for the wood, at least, but as far as the brick goes, you're honestly better off pushing a BSB out of a mine, since, unless you've got someone with 23 BS, you're only carrying a few bricks at a time. Going to take some large amount of bricks to build anything worthwhile, after all.

For sand, cart is pretty well required, though.

>>15019185

8k was a yuge mistake, kingdomless was a mistake brought on by the dickheads, map choice was too random, should have been more curated, town based on ego projects. No thanks.

>>15019185

It's quite simple: We are spread out.

I am playing with three people today.

Not enough.

It;s why we should invade a pubbie server.

>>15019256

Hermit is fun until you come to the point of having to do a wide scale terraforming project. Like flattening a large area for a field or some kind of project.

There is no substitute for additional labor when it comes to digging, flattening or raising ground. It would be nice if you could hire NPCs to do simple work for you. A shame they didn't go further than NPC guards.

>>15019464

>It would be nice if you could hire NPCs to do simple work for you

or could fully automate with my bots, hmmmmm

>>15019464

This >>15019502

>he doesn't have an army of bots

>>15019245

Sadly, this.

We were always living together in a huge village that took 20 minutes to walk through. Even though there were like only 10 people online at any given time, it felt alive because it was a huge progressing town and every time you logged in, you saw someone had finished a project or started a new one.

Right now you're just playing with 3-5 faces in basically hermit-mode.

That and with people quitting left and right, half the important professions (mining, BS, carp) got left and now you have to grind them too as a replacement.

Hopefully, we will invade a normalfag serb again.

>>15019575

The best part of the old days was seeing the massive city slowly build bigger and bigger.

See that old timelapse wherever it is.

>>15019245

>I am playing with three people today.

Everybody fucking left me behind.

>muh pub server

Fuck off, this meme is shit.

>>15019616

You say that, but, the only time I truly enjoyed Wurm was when we were on Russiaserver, all together on our shitty fortress, bullying pubbies.

>>15019627

Yeah but good luck finding a pub server that isn't rulecucked. If one existed I would certainly consider playing on it with everyone of us contributing to our own city.

>>15019616

>Everybody fucking left me behind.

This is the biggest problem I have so far, it's not that villages are too far from one another but that the villages themselves are too low-pop.

>>15019643

There was one someone suggested that looks decent, minus the zero-risk PVP.

>>15019663

I'm not jumping ship to a server that's barely been looked at and has pointless PVP

>>15019704

Fair.

But, then, I'm not really an advocate for jumping ship.

Really, this is more a "next time, don't start a server, it always dies" suggestion.

I just looked at the servers

Revenant is the only non-shit and it is actually shitter than ours

this is a ded game, play on this server or cry forever

If anything, we need a HUGE wave of newfags to start playing to increase the population. Any other "solution" will change nothing

>>15019720

We need more Cecils :^)

>>15019720

I agree with this, we need newfags to fill in some gaps

>>15019720

It's not just newfags, we also need admins that know wtf they are doing and hosts for events.

Everytime it's someone throwing together a server with mods they have no idea how to configure with some randomgen map. No events/half assed events that are given up when someone doesn't like them.

>>15019753

>Cecils

yes, unfortunately.

people get tired and give up on wurm because it is a very very shit niche game.

The only reason it gets any attention is because there is nothing quite like it.

People play wurm for the lack of alternatives, not because it is a good game, it's like The Guild 2 or Kenshi. Shit games that have nothing else quite like it.

My point is that the pool of oldfags that know how to play the game will decrease over time, unless we get newfags to join, we get what we have now. The only way around underpopulation is getting lots of cecils

>>15019720

The point on playing a pubbie server is that we invade and stick together.

See Russiaserver.

We outnumbered the whole server.

>>15019786

>this server is dead because low players

>but we can outnumber the ruskies on their server

What does that say about the russian server population?

>>15019786

The best example of that was during the evacuation after the Great Habbening.

We had our own evacuation port-town complete with a protective fence and colossus.

>>15019797

No, no. Not can.

Did.

And yes, Russerver was shit population when we invaded it.

You're missing the point. I've stated this several times now:

It kept people together.

>>15019502

>>15019541

This is a very shitty criticism. If there's boring tasks that no one is actually supposed to do on their own, lest they contract the Tism, then it shouldn't be something they have to do.

Bots are not a solution, they are something artificial, available to those that can write them only and in the end it's still a shitty band aid to the real problem: shit tasks that aren't fun to play as.

Wouldn't the game be better if you could hire NPCs to do those tasks? Essentially the bots people write to do those shitty boring tasks, but an in-game mechanic that costs both gold and food to maintain. NPCs raise their skills both as they work and based on the food they get, but they also start costing more.

Thus the game shifts from being a foraging simulator and becomes a management game about 5 players in a village managing 25 bots as they gather and craft everything while the players merely design incredible houses and go on adventures for magic and combat.

>>15019780

>The only way around underpopulation is getting lots of cecils

This seems like a good idea until you understand what it does to the server culture. As soon as the "cecils" outnumber everyone else, they become the dominant culture and the server goes down hill even faster.

You're basically arguing for immigration of illegal migrants to fix birth rates at this point.

>>15019826

>fix birth rates at this point

how many children you have and why they don't play on our server too?

That don't seem like a possible solution, does it?

>>15019826

>Wouldn't the game be better if you could hire NPCs

yeah, i've been thinking of implementing a bot npc army as a server mod.

But i'd rather make my own game at that point (expect it by 2024, I have another that should be out in 2020~)

>>15019834

Naw.

>>15019826

At that point, we're a pubbie server where the /v/ friends band together to bully the pubbies.

>>15019838

.if I had kids, I don't think I'd let them anywhere near /v/, to be fair.

>>15019851

I'm actually suprised nobody has invented Slavery at this point.

Can't players trade gold coins just because? Then how come nobody who can code Bots has made their services available for other players?

Basically, they agree to pay you a fee every few days and in return you install a Bot near their house.

You can even make them dark skinned so everyone knows what they are.

This at least seems possible with the game mechanics, if still quite artificial. Kinda reminds me of the guy running a bank in EVE.

>>15019919

I'm certainly game for invading revenant next time around.

Hell, I might even start early for when that comes up.

Maybe I can finally learn to nomad.

>>15019185

I quit not only because this game is the definition of a drag, a constant chore and grind, but because my village lacked an objective and leadership. Everyone was half-idly grinding and just doing their own thing, asked what I should do but was told "just do whatever, train your skills".

You couldn't pay me to play this shit again. The terraforming and crafting is interesting but everything else is so bad it's not even worth considering.

>>15019919

Novus is a shard of sklotopolis hence why you couldn't connect

>>15019851

>i've been thinking of implementing a bot npc army as a server mod.

this, along with having a map so good we can use it between server iterations and explore dead deeds, is one of my wurm pipe dreams

>>15019979

but i'd rather make my own game instead

>>15019919

We should totally shit the entire server with Hotshead cancer. As long as we can find a PVP server that isn't dead I'm down for it.

Until then I'm playing our current serb and building comfy boats.

>>15019990

I was thinking more in terms of "until our scurrent server i dead".

>>15019999

Yeah you fags need to wait a couple of months until people's interest in this server dies down.

Until then, everyone continue playing on current serb and have fun.

>>15020083

We need to wait six months.

>>15020083

>>15020132

>people bot for 3 days and then quit

>have to wait a year before anyone wants to do it all over again

>>15022829

uuuu

this is boring

>>15024108

fucking your mom is too, but that don't stop me

Hey nerds I had an idea: random events (server mod). Wouldn't it be neat if the server randomly spawned bosses and made an announcement regarding its location to all the players? Even better if the bosses dropped good shit worth traveling across the world for.

>>15028011

It'd be better if the bosses dropped keys to chests located in enemy territories. So not only would it promote pve, but it'd also promote pvp.

when anyone is missing people think "ded serv" and then leave, making more people think "ded serv"

self fulfilling prophecy

>>15028011

I could be game for that. Sounds interesting.

>>15029846

The server isn't dead. It's spread out. It's like living out in the countryside. Fact is, there's lots of people around you, but, because they're far away, it feels like you're alone.

>>15030761

The thing we're missing the most is incentive to travel. Everything is just too static at the current state.

We need treasure events, random boss spawns, random invasions, etc.

Also I think the merchants need to be revamped. Get rid of transmutation rods, they are OP as fuck. You can literally spawn q99 gold or iron veins with them and completely nullify the purpose of mining and searching for good ore. Instead I think merchants should sell a very limited supply of good metal lumps (50-90) that slowly restocks over time. With a bit of modding this should be easily doable.

>>15029846

Yeah I've watched about a dozen people log into spurdo (last serb) and say "ded serb" and never log back on again. If they had all stuck around it wouldn't have been dead.

>>15031463

>The thing we're missing the most is incentive to travel

limit the quality of resources by zones.

For instance: cedar trees in this area are capped to 50QL, no matter your skill.

The biggest issue with wurm is "anywhere is fine".

Metals should be localized rather than evenly spread.

Same goes for croup QL, everything should be capped by zone, that forces settlements to specialize and trade.

"B-but what if they take Y zone and monopolize all the high QL Y?"

Make 15 90+QL zones for each resource and spread them evenly on the 8k map.

There you have it, it's impossible to get control of all 90QL iron and you still have lead, zinc and whatnot, since they are all basically the same shit anyways.

Of course, the moon metal zones spawn lesser dragons all the time, including inside the mines, and are always 90+ QL, as 20Ql moon metals are useless to begin with

That would save wurm from it's boring fiasco, but would take 6 months to implement.

>>15019948

> asked what I should do

Best off not doing this and just claiming something, the rate at which people drain away means you'll always have work..

>>15031463

>Yeah I've watched about a dozen people log into spurdo (last serb) and say "ded serb" and never log back on again. If they had all stuck around it wouldn't have been dead.

That was a gear grinder., the irony is the population on the HOTS side actually went up in the last few weeks of that serb.

>>15031542

This sounds awful. Go play literally any flavor of the month MMO if you're so obsessed with PvE. Combat in this game is so garbage.

>>15032597

How so? The only reason items have quality is because PVP or PVE, and the combat being trash is a argument for both equally.
