Looks like a sweet game. Can't wait to give my money to this game instead of that jerkoff Rolf.
My jaw literally dropped when seeing you guys here. Jacky B. droppin wisdom, yet again.
I'm Arowhun. I've played for a long time on both the Wurm PvE and PvP servers, and have been hoping Wurm would eventually become something like what this game has to offer. From what I've seen so far, I'm hooked!
And yes, Rolf has shown some imcompetancies. To name one, when I was playing a few months ago on Serenity server there was a group of players exploiting game mechanics. They destroyed almost a dozen towns with their glitching, and in the process the town owners lost 100s of euros worth of real world money in gear, ingame currency (which is bought from the game store), and other assets. The sad part? I bothered Rolf day after day for several months, and it took 3 months for him to act. Actually, the people who were doing the exploiting got a get out of jail free card for some reason, and none were banned for the exploiting besides one individual.
Then of course, there is the Bashur fiasco. Rolf allways said that account name changes are never given to anyone. People have asked him in the past, and he allways denied them. Then one day, Bashur (big youtube star) comes into wurm and buys an account from someone with maxed out skills. He somehow convinces Rolf that he is worthy of a name change from the accounts original name (Ianrose) to Bashur. Rolf tried to keep this secret from the community, but we found out. We were not ammused.
The recent problem that Cndo mentioned has to do with the Chaos PvP server. Basically, the Jenn-Kellon stronghold of Sparta was destroyed by Mol-Rehan raiders. Using a game mechanic that has been around for a long time (Ever since it was added in 07 or so), Jenn-Kellon secured their gear inside Sparta's mine. Suddenly, Rolf appears and claims that the mechanic is actually a bug, and he opens up the mine for Mol-Rehan. MR then went in there and took the 250e worth of gear that was left inside there. People got mad and talked with Rolf. He decided to compinsate them by giving them lumps of rare "moon metals", which were worth about 50e. The reason this has gotten people so angry is that Rolf has allways had a policy of never intervening in a PvP situation, especially when it involves such massive amounts of money as this. It appears to me that something fishy was going on here between Rolf and Mol-Rehan.
People in Wurm are getting more and more angry. Players who have played since the game was founded in 2006, and who have been quiet, are begening to talk about their concerns on the forums. To make matters worse, the forum mods seem to be playing favoritism, and are deleting posts at random. I think this poll from the Wurm Forums might interest you guys here:
http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/ ... -lif-poll/In fact, LiF has become a major topic on the Wurm Online Forums.
In LiF, this is what I (and most other people in Wurm) hope for:
[*]A PvP enviornment where your stuff doesn't get raided over night and gone by the next time you log in (this is an issue in Wurm). I want a chance to actually defend my stuff.
[*]No random terreforming events that create craters and mountains, destroying towns in the process and making the landscape look aweful.
[*]Less grind. In Wurm, it takes months before you are good at anything. The skills are also set so that on PvP servers, players that have been around longer get a huge advantage.
[*]No insentives to buy and sell accounts. This was incredibly annoying in Wurm.
[*]A building system where you can design buildings, wall by wall, to be any shape you want. Wurm did this perfectly, and I would like to see this again in LiF.
[*]A PvE server. There is a huge amount of people that want to play in a sandbox mmo without the fighting part of it. In Wurm, this represents 90% of the playerbase.
Glad to see you made it over here.
