Ok, this is hard to explain. But a few days ago, angry told me he has come back to Wurm, and I’ve already explained this in my blog.
Now I was planning to put my foot down over due to what Rolf did, though angry believes he has learned his lesson. Do I dare give Rolf another chance?
Actually, I decided to. I can’t stay mad at him forever. Though I’ll never forgive him removing JK-H. But anyway, I came back yesterday to the lands of Golden Valley. I’ve been wanting to check it out. So I decided to come back as “Beanie”. Why that name? That’s what people used to call me when they typo my name. I stuck with it.
From what I’ve seen it’s like they just started like a month ago and haven’t gotten everything setup yet. You got to think of how long it took to make all of them carts, houses, and other shit.
So when I popped in, it was evening. I noticed this new “PA HELP” chat. My first reaction was it was some kind of automated help chat. So I tried asking “Where do I get some tools?” Instead I got a surprising, embarrassing “you make them?” reply. I knew then it wasn’t automated. I also took this time to say hi to angry to surprise him. I didn’t expect him to run down here and help me get to his place though.
After some time of trying to get used to the old movement controls, I went up to the Guide and started doing all the old missions I did when I was a noob back in Newtown on JKH. Oh, Newtown.. I miss you so much.
So anyway, as I was doing the missions, angry mentioned that he would be running down to get me but he’s having to deal with this asshole he was talking about in Skype a day ago that won’t leave the area and claims it’s his. It’s the Darkdot incident all over again I have been thinking.
The next day, after finally finding a suitable place that I can dig, I completed the other missions. Since it was in the afternoon and angry wasn’t on I tried to do a little exploring on my own. I noticed how empty this “PA Town” is compared to what Newtown was like. I also saw these three portals. I’ve heard about portals before. The one of leaving Golden Valley and being transported to Newtown when you feel you were ready.
Fast-forward several hours into the future and I got on when angry was on. He kinda guided me via Skype’s voice messaging service. I was halfway from his area when I encountered my first hostile; a young wolf. Not much of a challenge for a seasoned fighter. Trouble is I wasn’t a fighter. Fortunately I was near a guard tower. Yet they never came to save my ass. Angry told me of this new feature where you have to say “guards!” to get the tower guards to kill the hostile. After two failed attempts with “GUARDS!”, and “Guards!” (had no idea the ‘g’ had to be lowercase), I finally got them to chase down the wolf and kill him.
Angry wanted me to pick the corpse up and take it to him to be skinned, but I couldn’t. So I went on my way and stopped again due to a mountain lion. The first time I EVER have seen one in this game. He didn’t seem to notice me though. I was forced to tell angry to come and save my pathetic hide from being scratched by the lion.
He took ten minutes until he finally reached my local. I heard him reporting three wolves, then the mountain lion I saw. He lured it to the guards and they killed it.
Then we headed to where angry lives. He lives outside of this town called “First Light” that is on Amnesty Road East. His place is a big mess of uneven packed dirt tiles, but is right next to the ocean. Only has one building for the carts. It’s like he just started.
Ok. Before I continue I just want to say quite a few things have happened while I have been gone. New features and objects to make. Some dumb. Some useful.
One useful (and I wish it was made sooner) feature is this Fasting feature. I’ve always hated my Hunger bar, since I’m not a fighter I always was a parasite; living off of another. AKA angry for meals.
Now, when you run out of food, you can fast and recharge your Hunger bar to 90%, once you get to 8% Hunger. You have a new Nutrition meter. Seems to start at 50%. Everytime you fast, you use up 20% of that Nutrition. So I seriously doubt you can fast forever. Eventually you’ll have to make a casserole.
Going back to what happened, he wasted no time in putting me to work, in the form that I should build my own cart. I’m not even thinking about actually staying in this game forever here.
I really miss Dragonhead, and his super stats. But he’s all the way in the Wild server. And I can’t bring him through to Golden Valley since it’s a noob-only world. You’re not supposed to want to stay here forever. I can only bring him to the Freedom server. And that costs 20s.
I don’t really feel like doing all of the grinding I did, all over again.
But anyway, I decided to head away from the area and look for trees, asking him where I could chop. He said to stay away from Very Old and Withered trees. And the majority of these trees ARE Very Old and Withered. But I found a few that weren’t and chopped them into logs. This is about the time angry popped up with a cart behind him, telling me to put the logs in it and get back to the village with them. So I did.
As I headed back, things started to get more difficult with the troll who now says he will move away IF we make supplies for a new house. Angry, knowing that this may be the only way to get rid of this guy, reluctantly agreed to the guy’s demands. And I was brought on for the ride.
So instead of making a cart, I had to help angry make 80 planks. Due to my pure hated of planking thanks to a person I refuse to name, I did my best to just focus on helping angry out. As this is happening, angry had me also gather 21 logs for a pinewood pile. I had no idea what he needed it for, but I went on. Seeing as I didn’t make a cart yet, I had to hand-carry the logs from this abandoned camp to the village. Then I decided to help angry again by stuffing the logs into the pile.
Soon, angry finished the guy’s demands, and we got the pile complete. Yet I still haven’t made my cart yet. I just don’t know if it’s worth having a cart. I mean, I see the only real purpose is to maybe haul logs when angry finally manages to smooth out his land to place houses.
But seriously, what’s the fucking point? You can’t plop deeds down in Golden Valley. The only way to show the place is yours is to fence it up.
I just wonder if angry’s only one goal is to get everyone from Skype into Wurm, and to this village. But then, what do we do after? We build the houses. Everyone moves in. What happens after? More grinding? You can only get your skills up to 20 max. I guess by then maybe I could work on a rowboat and sail around Golden Valley? That might be fun.
Or even we will finally forgive Rolf for what he’s done and pay for prem. But that would be pointless for me since I already HAVE a prem account. Dragonhead.
