I think it’s about time to explain why I’ve been quite agitated this week in Wurm, and wanting to blow up in people’s faces. In normal circumstances I wouldn’t be like this.
But I have to get everything done for two reasons;
1. I got new neighbors, which makes me having to be more active.
2. My health on the line on the 28th.
When I was heading to the Impalong on Monday, a friend of my new neighbors showed up and wanted to see my settlement. My alt showed him around. He said it’s pretty good but it’s in need of improvements, and I told him that I agree.
One was the old animal pen where my horses got stolen. I told him I was planning to just dig the whole thing down and expand my boat parking.
So this whole thing started at the Impalong. Since what the guy said to my alt I’ve been itching to do it when I get home. But I’m supposed to wait patiently.. all week if need be, to get my lamps imped. And I just want to get home. PM me or something when they’re ready (but I don’t feel like sailing all the way to FM again to pick up my lamps), yet I’m told “they’re doing a service for you, taking time out of their lives to helping everyone.” I can understand that, but… this is NOT a good time! If I knew it was going to take this long I would had just paid someone a long time ago to imp them.
Finally I get them imped and go home. The next day I get the simple stuff done then move on to the pen. All I need is horses to do this.
I got that “taken care of” by going to FM again to get those three horses, and I end up with three foals, but angry came to my rescue by trading the foals for horses.
All this week, the wind has been an issue with it being a gale one minute than suddenly going down to a light breeze, as well as the persistent, thick fog.
The fence bashing today went ok until I started getting low ql rock shards from my alt, which did minimal damage.
Again, more frustration. It’s like the game’s telling me to slow down or forcing me to slow down, but I keep saying “fuck you I gotta get this shit done” to it. As I said, under normal means I would not be like this.
But with new neighbors I need to be more active. Yet that isn’t the issue. I don’t mind being more active. What is… is the 28th.
To spare you what I’ve been going through in my head (literally) since November, I gotta go up to the hospital on that day and get an MRI. If they find anything serious, my life as I know it will be over.
This is why I’m rushing to get everything done all at once, and Wurm doesn’t understand why. It won’t give me a fucking break.
I’m the only one doing this. With my alt’s shitty Mining skill, I have to mine my own shards now (I can get 43ql where he can only get 12ql).
.
However, what will get me to slow down is Christmas. I’m taking my final trip up to FM this year tonight (not to say I won’t come back next year.. IF my head is ok), and I’m bringing my alt. If the wind is good I’ll take my Corbita. If not, my Sailboat. I’m also bringing angry if he wants to go.
We’ll sail to FM. Once there I’ll go see if they’re selling a large maul and then we log off and I’ll play WoW. Then tomorrow, Santa will be here, we go, grab our gifts, and go home. I’m hoping to make it back home before Christmas Day due to in WoW that’s where presents become clickable.
One good thing about this is I don’t really HAVE to make it back home by then.
If the wind suddenly gets crappy on Christmas Eve after we get our gifts and eat/drink at the free buffet table, which I heard rumors it gives either 50% or 100% Nutrition. This will be good for both of us, especially my alt who won’t have to cook for awhile…., and if we don’t make it back home before Christmas Day, I’ll just get in WoW and get present-getting done for both Horde and Alliance, then go back to Wurm and sail home. Drop off angry first if he’s going to come, but I feel he’ll probably go with Elshar.
Once Christmas is over though, I’m going to have to go back to how I am now, rushing to get everything done.
