why not just give you a referal? not that i have one.

Need to have had prem before you can accept/use referals

[Micro102]

but either way, soemoone else is paying, and you give them a month referal.....you both get 1 month and the other guy pays...doesnt matter who gets the prem

[andrea]

that was the plan.

I played this game something like 3 years ago or more. I assume it's still ugly as sin, but have the made it more playable? When I played anything you built was of low quality and would likely disintegrate in less than two days. You could repair it but that would lower the quality even more. Basically it was a grindfest of skills that really got you nowhere. The only thing you could do effectively is manipulate the earth with your shovel, fish, and cook.

If it's improved at all in this regard I might pop back in.

[Micro102]

its like real life in a fantasy realm where you play without running the risk of dieing.

i agree stone walls crumbeling in weeks is pretty stupid but considering i get bored and have nothing to do a lot of the time shows its not that time consuming.

and no they havent changed much.

Hahahahaha.
I make 40ql stone walls, they crumble in eight months.
Yes, if you're capped at 20 skill, the stuff will decay fast, but it's not like you're doomed to have all your stuff decay like that no matter what..

[Micro102]

doesnt matter what the quality of the stone wall is...stones dont decay no matter what you do to them, short of throwing them in acid or lava. the least they could do is leave a lot fo them on the floor where the wall broke

If you think that rocks just sit there forever even in real life, you're COMPLETELY wrong.  I have the equivalent of a Wurm stone wall in my back yard and, it's falling apart.  I know I couldn't reuse any of the rocks in it if I were to redo the wall, either.
Wurm timeframes are just incredibly shorter then real ones.
Quit whining.

[Micro102]

ok you got me on the time frames....weeks turn into months into years....good call.

[Timst]

Ok, so I tried to return to Wurm today, and it was virtually unplayable : the game is awfully coded (nicer than this winter, but... eww... my computer run Crysis in medium-high settings, and I've got only 8 FPS in wurm with "normal" settings. What does it take to run this game smoothly ?), but the most annoying this is... the starter server, Golden Valley, is totally unbearable. I mean, there's like an ARMY of bear surrouding the Starter city. The entrance of GD look like an animal cemetery, filled with bear and wolf corpses. You can't leave the town without being swarmed by legion of animals.

So I'm considering going premium to escape this madness, and I wonder (TL;DR) :

Has anyone tested the new server, Freedom Islands ? It seems really great, but if there's the same bear respawn problem that in GV, it doesn't even worth purchasing. Thanks !

[Micro102]

in a way that could be fun, getting a group of people and bashing through a bear barricade then setting up a defence as soon as possible.

and 8 FPS isnt bad at all.....that normal for no lag. i have gotten over 10 maybe once in the entire time i played it.

Not at all.
I've seen one live bear the entire time I've been there.
I've seen 2-3 bear corpses.

Animals are localized for the most part though, I've seen dozens of rats, cats, lions and dogs. (Pelt heaven!)
Sometimes wolves.
All of which are pushovers compared to bears.

[Timst]

They're really pushing newbies toward premium server... but they're doing it wrong, totally wrong.
While this insane bear activity is irritating for mildly experienced GV players, and effectively make them willing of better lands, it's just repulsive for total newbies. That's it : you begin to play, the landscape appear and... TWO THOUSANDS LEGIONS OF BLOOD THIRSTY CHAMPION BROWN BEAR appears to besiege the starter town.
Come on, it's like if you played DF and every time you embark, the wagon is directly put into HFS : it's not hard, it's simply impossible.

It's not like that at First Light, the JK starting town on GV.
And it's not impossible.

Its not supposed to be like that either. note that Rolf whizkilled all bears and wolves on the server during the server downtime last night.
