Why I nearly quit Wurm (again)

If you couldn’t tell from the title, this Sunday has not been a good day for me. After I said I was having issues with that disc and waited for the download to get done, I went back to Wurm to see if I could get to the top of Dragon Fang Peak. I didn’t get far… at all.
I had my sickle with me this time, and spotted a pine tree. I looked around. No mobs in sight. Hopped off my horse since “you must be on solid ground” to pick a sprout. As soon as I did, the Combat log started flashing. I tried to hop back on my horse, but it had no Lead option. Apparently you cannot mount while in combat.

So I was forced to run away and leave my horse behind, attracting more mobs. And they were all “WE FUCKING GOT HIM!! HAHAHA!!! NO MORE OF YOU NOT ALLOWING US TO PISS YOU OFF!! :D” and killed me. I of course had some choice words to say. Thankfully I had a spare piece of rope and another horse. I tried to lead them away, only to get a Medium. But I managed to just enough to get my stuff back (and the other horse) and bolted back home.
I was all “trip is postponed until I get more cotton”… yet this would be the least of my concerns.

After having a conversation with a person on another server about getting fight skill up, so I won’t have to run away anymore… I noticed my Food bar dropping lower than normal. At 6%. What’s even more weird, my Nutrition was at 17% instead of 10%. I didn’t eat anything to cause it to do that.
My Food bar kept going down, to 0%. I asked the global kchat what the FLYING FUCK is going on, and they’re all “LOL… you thought you could fast infinitely?! Wow. That’s too easy! Dude, you still have to eat! You just went though all of your fat layers!”

I am emotionless right now. I thought… I thought I would never have to fucking make Stew for the rest of my life; that Hunger would never be an issue. And now…. now…. I’ve been lied to. That’s how I feel. The other feeling, is making the mistake of believing that; believing it WAS that easy.

No. It’s not. It hasn’t changed since I left. It’s still as fucking annoying as before, where my alt was forced to cook. And now, he is again. All of that was a lie. A lie to myself, and a lie I assumed.
Both make me want to say… “FUCK…THIS!! FUCK THIS GAME! FUCK IT! FUCK EVERYTHING!!!!!!”

But I can’t quit either. So, Hunger hasn’t changed since 2010. I still have to carry a FUCKING barrel that’s filled of Stew with me, and my alt still has to cook Stew. Just.. like before. As outrageously pissed as I feel right now, I cannot quit. It’s only a small… minor inconvenience.
Yet I’m still puzzled why my Nutrition is at 17%. Shouldn’t it be at 8%? I guess this was before they removed starvation. I should had FUCKING KNOWN they wouldn’t remove the need to eat! Yet everytime I asked, they all made me assume there wasn’t no need, except for skills.
Either that or perhaps… perhaps maybe they misunderstood my question. I think they removed Starvation way..WAY before 2015. More like 2009. And indeed it was after I asked some questions. It hasn’t changed in 6 years. Why… WASN’T I TOLD THIS BEFORE?!?! So. many. WHY’s and no answers to them!

As for “asking for an apology” from the people I assumed I would never have to cook again, I never got one. I shouldn’t need one anyway. They NEVER actually told me I would never have to cook again. I am the one that assumed it. It’s my fault, not theirs.

Well, no use of crying over it. Now that I know, I just have to re-prepare. Though I don’t remember what my alt used to make Stew. I know it was Fish, but I’m not sure of the second ingredient (or even what he used to cook them in).
I’m almost certain it was a pottery bowl, yet everyone says no; that it’s to make casserole instead. They told me to use a sauce pan, and I can’t even make one with my Food level at 0%. :/

Going to have to prem B2 (as his HFC skill is above 20) and get him working on casseroles until my char’s strength returns. Then I should be able to make some sauce pans (and also an oven to cook them in).

In a way, it’s actually good to need to cook again. Because now I have a reason to make an oven and use that empty area of my house. Speaking of my house, I’ve used a tool called “Deedplanner” (a replacement to Mapper) and was able to build my house into something I feel I’m going to really like. Take advantage of having multi-levels and interior walls.
And here’s what I’ve done. You can view the images here, and here.

As you can see, there will be four floors (with the forth being the “elevator”(aka the opening)). The 3rd floor is the “observation deck”. The second floor will be my private quarters, and the first will be where the forge/oven, and storage will be. Behind the house is my future “tool shed”, which in the past I used to store my carts and other things (also had a catapult back then).

I may split the second floor in “half” (with tiles, you can’t really do halfway) and give one half to Tulsi and the other to myself. Or he can just live in the tool shed. 😛
