Alright, for the first thing, I’ve been hearing a few rumors that the devs are actually starting to FINALLY consider the possibility of taking your horse cross-server with you!!
I was confirmed of this sweet news before the Rift event started. Something about livestock cages and being able to load them. Now, there was a forum post about it, but I can’t seem to find it. But WOW is this fantastic news! Still, I wonder how Branding is going to work. I discussed this before with you guys, and how I felt it should say “(Horse) has been branded by and belongs to the settlement of (deed) on (server).”
Branded horses should come with a Nametag or some sorts to show this, and I feel this can either be purchased from another player/merchant, or crafted. Also, the QL has to be a certain level to allow a horse to cross servers with you (like 50). And it would decay as normal (simulated wear damage).
.
Moving on to the other point of this post, has to be the best bug I’ve ever encountered. I absolutely LOVED this bug (because of how much I hate Winter) and it really took me by surprise. I’m coming back from a delivery of 5k Dirt to Deli (trying to get my 5s back.. just something to erase the memories of the money I wasted on my past deed), got 4.5s instead due to this assaholic thing that caused the value of Dirt to drop to 80c per 1k. Well, 4.5s is definitely nothing to cry over. I will definitely accept it. 🙂
Came back to Cele no problem, and I noticed something very..strange. I saw green on pretty much every landmass around me, yet the trees in the distance were still covered in snow. As I got closer to Kami Canal, I noticed..several guard towers IN the ocean. Wtf? Where did these come from? Surely someone didn’t build all of these when I was gone.
Arriving at the canal, and….HOLY FUCK! The snow on the ground IS GONE! It’s like Fall AND Winter at the same time!! On top of that, trees I get close to change to their Fall textures. HOT DAMN! YES! BEST BUG EVER!!! 😀
I asked if this thing was even a bug at all in Global Kchat, and was told yes. How it’s a bug that happens when crossing servers. That’s strange, as I didn’t see this bug on Exo (the server I had to use to get to Deli’s East side to make the delivery). They also tell me about the towers I saw are also showing up from another server, and they can show up ‘in the ocean’.
This is freakin’ awesome, and it happened all the way back home. Finally I could see what I was doing with the bypass road without the snow blinding my view. This is what the transition into Winter should had been, instead of ‘suddenly, Winter’.
Sadly, the bug resetted itself after I had to leave for dinner, and it was snow-covered again. Meh. Anyway, just two more days until Wurm Spring (aka the 25th), and the snow will be gone (and I can see the damn ground again). 🙂
