First and foremost, when I got my computer booted up, angry greeted me with a surprise. He paid the prem to get Dragonhead to the Freedom server.
He didn’t have to, but I thank him for it.
Anyway, I thought about it, and thought about it, and thought about it some more. And finally decided to go on and buy that rowboat for 1.5s.
I ran up to New Dawn to see if he was on, and alas he wasn’t. So I started asking others in Freedom chat. Had this one kid named Paxman making fun of my attempts. And I couldn’t find anyone willing to part with their boat.
I then headed back to my house, hoping the PA would log in soon. Then suddenly someone starts yelling in Freedom chat that he saw lava near New Dawn. I decided to take a look and ran up there. And then I saw this lava tile. It was like two tiles from reaching Amnesty Road.
I figure at this rate it could possibly choke off East access of the road, and to my house. Some say it would also go down to the Noob Tree Farm.
Also, I finally got someone named Mre that would be interested in selling a boat. He said he had two boats; one of them has a mooring anchor, and was willing to sell it for 1s.
I told him about the PA’s offer, and he wanted me to wait. I went on asking what the QL was, and he said someone is using it so I would have to wait.
About 5 minutes later, he responds saying it also has a boat lock. I knew I couldn’t turn down this deal, but I wanted to see proof before I handed over the money.
This person lives all the way on the East coast of the server, in a settlement named Vita Mea. I stated that I didn’t see any roads, but he offered to give me directions to reach the next settlement closer to my location (and New Dawn) and would meet me there. Which is Silent Nook.
So I grabbed my dog, took off all stuff I will lose if I die by going there, and went.
The way there is the same road I accidentally went on while looking for a house a day ago, and thought I got lost, yet I was following a sign pointing to New Heaven. It’s next to the three portals that lead to the pay servers.
No sooner than I realized, I was already outside of Silent Nook. Wow is this map tiny. I met up with my contact and we made our way to Vita Mea, passing two security gates.
This isn’t the wild server. Why do you need that much security to get access between settlements?
So we got to the boat. Now I have proof it’s there. The only problem is I have is to run back to ND to get the money because it has the only fucking token available in Golden Valley. The person though showed me a way around the two gates. I tried to do my best to remember how to do it on my own.
So I bought the 10s from the Wurm Shop. I regretted making the purchase because it’s supporting that fag who killed my home server. Still, I got the 1 silver and 50 copper I needed to pay for the boat, and headed back. Unfortunately it was night AND getting foggy. So foggy that by the time I got back to Silent Nook, and attempted to follow the same path I went on before, I had to ask the person to get me there again.
Made it back, gave him the money, and got the boat. My dog however “didn’t agree with my purchase” and stopped following me when I hopped in. The person offered to put my dog in one of the pens until I got back, so I was forced to agree knowing there was no other way around it.
So I put my dog in a pen and got a key. He said don’t worry about giving it back if he isn’t on when I come back. I looked at my dog and wanted to tell him that I promise I’ll come back for him.
I hate to say this but I’m forming a bond for that dog. He’s unlike all the other dogs that gave their life to save mine.
But anyway, I went back, hopped on the boat and took off, attempting to follow the coast south towards Scorpion Stone and dock my boat there, then go back and get my dog out. And did just that, then went to eat.
After finishing, it was finally time to do the reason I stayed on this server; to sail around it and take lots of pictures. Just like I did three times in JK-H. I took my dog and headed back down to the pier, then thought of just giving him back to Borderland.
You must be wondering right now why I’m having this bond, then suddenly want to get rid of him. I’m not planning to keep him. I can’t really take care of him. He’s better off going back to Borderland.
About three minutes after I got to the pier, Borderland logs in. I ask him to take the dog back because I couldn’t lead him when I’m captaining the boat. He tells me that I can still do it. By getting on as a captain, then leading the dog. If I knew this before I wouldn’t of had to leave him in that pen.
I prepared for my journey as Borderland started annoying me, about have you seen Joe, where did you get that boat, and I feel like you wasted your money.
I wasn’t about to let him stop me from doing it. Yet.., as I started heading south around the map, I was talking to him about what I was seeing, and this really flat place.
He then asks me to come back and get him… why didn’t I just keep my big yap shut?
So now it’s me and Borderland, doing this thing. But Border didn’t know what I was doing until I told him. He wanted me to stay in the server by finding me a better place to live, but I declined it, saying I was going to leave for the Freedom server.
To spare you the drama I was feeling I won’t talk about that. So anyway, Border is checking out places he could move while I’m running around with my camera taking pictures at everything. Now I’m approaching Bottleneck Bay as Sol is setting, and forced to head into the bay, dock and wait for Sol to come back up.
When I docked and stopped, my Stamina wasn’t going back up. I wasn’t climbing or anything. I then hop out of my boat thinking that if I get out my Stam will go up. Suddenly I start getting damaged. The event log says “You are drowning!”… wtf? It got so bad I actually got a Medium from it. Border says it will heal, and sure enough it did five minutes later.
I was forced to ask Freedom chat, and they say you have to click on the land you’re parked next to and click Disembark. I did that, and my Stamina went up.
So fucking gay. I NEVER had to do this before!
On top of it, now when I do it, my feet get stuck in the ground and I’m unable to move.
So, we now arrive at Emerald Lake. As I find a spot to dock, Border disappears behind me. He says he’s somewhere in the lake area, so I’m thinking “Yes! I ditched him! Now I can do this alone!” that was until he popped up with a tamed champ dog as I’m taking a picture of the bay.
So we get back on the boat. But his dog doesn’t want to come with him. He’s now forced to walk all the way around the server back to his place.
And pretty much the rest was just more pictures and made it back to the pier and went home to type this.
Tomorrow I’m going to do it again, but going the other way around the server. After then… well… I guess I’ll think of something.
