Benie's Games Blog

I decided to stay off of Wurm while waiting for angry, 4 hours later I logged in to tend the farm, and Ruffle was in my local. This time I tried to PM her, and she SPOKE to me! 😀
After telling her who I was, she deeply apologized for taking my land, but I said it was ok and she had every right to.
I then asked if I could claim alittle bit of Infinity. She said yes. So I can move there anytime I want now! I have a SLIGHT idea of how to design the landscape. I want to make it LIKE Elysium. Having beachfront property. Though that would be pointless since I won’t be able to get my boats there.

Hours passed. Still no angry. So I decided to go over to Infinity and see how I could redesign the landscape for myself. After getting down to the road that hugs the Western side of the lake, I found a pretty good spot, but it has two mines next to it. The rock level may be low enough to flatten out this small flat area for a house.
Then once again around 7:37 PM, angry pops up. And we head for Small Bears. When reaching there, once again I tell him to use the SS Dragon instead of my sailboat, and he does(which shocked me because I didn’t set the permissions to allow Friends to drive it).

And soon we’re on our way… or so I thought was a good idea anyway. He started to complain about how slow the rowboat was compared to my sailboat and suggested he ditch the boat somewhere. When he told me to stop, I did. I then noticed my mooring anchor was gone! I asked angry if he took it(since a passenger can steal an anchor), but he didn’t. So my anchor has been stolen.
Back to the boat ditching, I didn’t want to do this and kept telling him to do his best to see what direction I am going, but finally I had no choice but to agree to ditch the boat, and he did at NH.

He got on mine and we continued. He told me of a plan he had to stop the passenger lag, and it worked. The fix? Use autowalk when on the boat and you won’t freeze up.
3 hours later, we arrived at Bearcatraz and angry docked the boat for me. This time we had company from two of the goons, but they left us alone. We explored for awhile and stuff, and angry found who could be the leader of the goons; Elbearrio. Then as we where heading back to the boat, one of the goons stops us and asks who we where. I told him we’re just tourists and have no intention of stealing a thing which the goon thought. I noticed angry running for the boat faster than I’ve seen him before.
Trying to get back in and pull out, I found out angry got the boat stuck. I told him to push and he couldn’t without me getting off. So I did, was about to drag it but he pushed it instead. It did piss me off he wouldn’t listen to me but we got out of there.
As we left their local, angry showed me a large padlock… that he stole from them! All I could think of is the goons on a battle cruiser, lobbing cannonballs at us trying to get that padlock back.

And the drama didn’t stop there…ohh no. It just got stronger than the Northwest breeze that was blowing that day. I continued to follow the coast until we where South of what looked like a LARGE bay. Angry, with a concerned look on his face, questioned our location. I personally had no idea. Then he yells to turn right. And me not wanting to be shown off headed east. But the bay just continued on.
Getting scared because I never seen these mountains before, and angry may know where to go, I turned South, trying to regain my barrings. I kept telling him this is just a bay, but wtf is it doing here and shit.
15 minutes after turning right, I somewhat knew where we were and tried swinging around the island to my left, and FINALLY we made it to the Northeast Passage. Apparently we went too far East, and I apologized to angry for not believing him… just I’ve been studying maps since I was still in diapers and it’s just… insulting.
We then pulled over to NH to get the boat back, and told angry he can explore until we head back home. He wanted to see Drago’s big house and I showed him. He then saw two more houses with Drago’s name on them. Something I didn’t see. He questioned if Drago was the mayor of Northern Haven.
I checked out the token and found out it wasn’t Drago. Though it may’ve been his alt.

Anyway, we where heading back to Small Bears. When suddenly my window freezes up. Forced to relog I got back in, and didn’t see angry anywhere. I called out and he said he didn’t know where he was. I started to get worried, thinking he didn’t know how to get back to Small Bears…. and then he told me to come on, that he docked the boat.
I fucking let him HAVE it for that. For worrying me sick about him, and all he could say is why do I worry about him and stuff. Because it’s what friends do.. look out for eachother. And that’s not all that I worry about. I also have to worry about his feelings and mental health if I do decide to move somewhere.
Sometimes… I feel like he’s holding me back from starting my own life again. He won’t support it. And he will be upset if I leave.

What started as a pretty boring day,.. well, ended as a boring night(if you don’t count the “fun” with the server going down and the bugs after MR Home was released). Angry wasn’t on and I pretty much had nothing to do.

Later, Schiz came on. After making him a citizen of Neveron, I showed him the “new addition” to Mine 2 and asked him how in the hell it could be fixed. He tried something but failed in it. I then told him about angry and the boat killing him and how he claims his corpse is in the rock. He then tried a trick with the cave and told me about a pile of items down near the water line.
Checking for myself and seeing the pile, I had a feeling I found angry’s lost stuff! I knew I had to do something to retrieve it. And tried by mining at a low spot, monitoring my progress with the see-through wall.
As I worked, I happen to flip to my Local and saw Ruffle in it! Once again, I RAN towards my old HS, but this time, thanking her for preserving the work I put in it. And wanted to talk it over about maybe claiming a TINY bit of Infinity. But once again, she didn’t speak. But I was able to get to her before she left. She is indeed a Prem for one thing, and very shy. When I went back home, Schiz logged off.
Hours passed and angry still wasn’t on. Had to eat. Came back, and saw the n00b that angry “brought home like a puppy” yesterday (Shawnmc is the name) was on. I got him helping me mine until angry FINALLY came on that evening.
Anyway, I was running into a snag. There’s a Reinforced cave wall to the right of me, that was going down as I was mining down to the water level. With angry’s help, we made another dangerous side shaft into Mine 2(not something I wanted to happen). This pissed me off enough that angry was able to get ahold of the leader of the GM’s; Oracle.
He walked around the mine, and told us news I couldn’t believe, but I don’t have a choice… GM’s have no ‘noclip’, nor could they teleport something that’s stuck inside the game world, nor could they remove support beams. Angry is pretty much fucked now to get his stuff back.
Angry pleaded to Oracle to find some way due to the way the mine is shaped, he couldn’t help us and left.

After that, it was time to operate my first catapult! Though we had to build one from scratch, it was…. kinda fun destroying things with rock shards, except for angry barking orders at me. After alot of misses, I got the fences down.
Later, a guy named ‘Reiles’ came up to us, trying to convince angry that he’s his old friend from a few months ago. They walked off, leaving me at the deed by myself. I began to think if this person was trying to get angry to break up with me and go with him. But later I found out he didn’t, and I knew he won’t… especially when he wants to go to Bearcatraz tomorrow.
Yes, angry wants to go, even with the constant stopping I had to do to allow him back on my boat. I suggested he use the SS Dragon instead and just follow me, and he shockingly agreed.

So that’s what happened today. I need to head to bed. Big day tomorrow.

Angry got a reply from Ruffle yesterday on the forum. It states she has no intention of pissing me off. But she needed a new place to live, and she chose my old land and has no plans to move.
Instead of being pissed and demanding she would move Halcyon back to the West Coast… I’m happy. I’m happy she likes the work I put in it and she chose that place after all the work I did. Feels honorable that I made someone happy.
She even asked if I would like to arrange a deal that I could still live on my own, but by Bearback Lake. I’ve thought of claiming Infinity, but I wouldn’t know how to shape it to my liking with the fact it’s sitting on a hill. But, I would have my “Dragonhead Bay” deed, and not have to move far away.

However, I still need a better place to put my boats than Small Bears. My own bay, but closer than walking to Small Bears. Pretty much impossible unless NT was connected to the ocean. Or even better, Bearback Lake.
Anyway, I can’t remember how the rest of the day went. But Gop and angry where on, and angry got us to start his project to reconnect the two mines. Reason why I say “reconnect”? Once me and angry busted the wall separating the two mines, that damn dangerous shaft emerged that I saw about 6-7 months ago. Angry wanted to fix it… lol, how? The previous owners apparently couldn’t. They only let the shaft cave in on itself to seal off the issue. Now it’s been re-opened and Mine 2 is fucked!
Later, angry went with me on another trip up north on my sailboat to Elysium. He pillaged everything he could there and we went home, minutes before I needed to go to bed.

The next day (today), I found out angry finally got my Body strength to 21 and used my char to remove a few roads and fences. I helped finish the job and harvested a few wemp plants. After getting done, a message popped up in my Event, about the server going down for 600 seconds, and the reason is the new MR Home Server, a brand new 3rd server accessible by going past the Wild Server from East to West, much like going from Home to Wild.
If you can picture the 3 servers being like WoW, The Home server(Azeroth) is on the very right side, with the Wild server(Kalimdor) in the middle, and MR Home(Outland), being on the very left. But, Outland has no water surrounding it.
What I mean is, each section, Azeroth, Kalimdor, and Outland, are on their own servers. Same as Home, Wild, and MR Home for Wurm.

I may visit MR Home one of these days, but I was told on kchat to NOT bring your boat. Dunno why.
MR Home from what I was told, will be like the Home server, but only for Prems. And also, like Wild, PvP will be allowed. 😛

Yesterday was an emotional day. If that emotion was a liquid, it would fill up 5 bathtubs.
It started with seeing a few people in my local, with one looking for his rowboat. Though he couldn’t find it.
For me, well… I pretty much have given up ever getting my old land back, and willing to find another place to live. Once I told angry.. he was heartbroken. He made it feel worse about moving when all I wanted to do is get away from the scar to the south across the lake.
I found out I could move to what’s left of Elysium and name it to “Benie Bay”. But there’s one thing that stops me from fully claiming it; the existing writs.
Angry gave me 4 large nails and told me to go up there and slap a house down as a marker, and wait for the houses to decay.
After trying to get ahold of the owners of those writs today on the forum, MD gave me some news that there’s a chance the previous owners may come back and try to preserve Elysium. I can’t have this. I WILL have Benie Bay.

Anyway, back to yesterday. Me and angry got the final building built. The storage house. Time went on and as night fell, angry told me to meet him on Bearback Highway, south of his homestead. He gave me his deed and I gave him mine as a test, and then tried to found my deed, when a bear popped up. We ran back to the HS and returned safely. But the bear found a weak point in our hostile defense system and got in, but got pwned by the guards.
As angry explained I need to up my carp and seal that weak point, someone that has been eluding us for months finally came on…. RUFFLE!!
I RAN for my old HS, pleading to Ruffle to give me another chance. But all she did was put more money in the deed and log off. After that, I stopped in my tracks, fell to my knees, and began to cry…. so did angry.
But he had a theory why Ruffle didn’t respond to us. It was bedtime for her. But all I could see is, it’s over. I’ve lost it. I knew I had no choice. If I’m ever going to stop the pain, I have to move.
Angry then got a PM from Ruffle on the forum and sent a reply, pleading for her to disband so I can have my life back.

But, I knew what I had to do. And I wasn’t about to wait another fucking month to get ahold of her. I made a fishing pole(actually, angry gave me one) and began to teach myself to start fishing, to prepare for my new life. During this, angry got on his boat, then said he got stuck and went afk. Next thing I know he was PMing me, but he wasn’t in Local. Somehow, his boat killed him. And killed him in such a way that his corpse is now stuck inside one of our mines.
Angry, furious for dying, took his boat far away to where it will never be seen again, then logged off. This gave me a chance to sail to Elysium and begin, Operation: New Life!

Operation: New Life consists of several stages. The first stage which was done, slapping a house down. The 2nd stage is waiting for the buildings to decay. The 3rd is to slap the deed down. 4th is to move in, and the 5th and final stage is to make a pier for my two boats.
I sailed to Elysium no problem, slapped down a house, named “Benie Bay COMING SOON”, then roofed it. And then, being the treasure hoarder as I am, helped myself to some more free stuff.
As I helped myself, fog started to roll in, and it wouldn’t stop. It got so thick I couldn’t see the bay anymore, but I got back to the boat and got my hoarded treasure in the cargo hold. I waited patiently for the fog to thin and it eventually did with Sol rising, hopped back on my boat and headed back home.

When I got back, angry needed my help finding his corpse and told me to flatten a few tiles. Pacer said that his corpse should emerge…it didn’t, and angry didn’t know what to do.
However, through all the pain, the rain, and the darkness that day, a light shined down. And that light shined down on angry’s deed when he finally founded Neveron. Not only that, but he got that deed with his own money. He didn’t need me this time.

Today, angry’s been offline longer than he has been these past few days. Probley still wondering what he’s going to do without his stuff.
But, if Ruffle does disband Halcyon before the houses at Elysium decay, I will remove my writ.

Have you ever had one of those days when a game feels like it’s sending every damn hostile to stop you from your dreams? I did. Let me tell you about it…
With the “news” of not needing 21.00 ML, I told Beast to contact me ingame to arrange a time to pay for my sailboat.

The day started when I logged in and found myself on the pier of my HS, when I know I didn’t log out there. Getting back to our new homestead, I PMed angry who was on Steam at the time and asked. He said he was testing something on my account but didn’t tell me what.
A little later, a guy named Pjwaffle walks right up to me and said that this would’ve been his land if we didn’t move here, and asked if we could work a deal with him.
Quickly getting angry on Wurm, he talked to this trespasser…who actually was a dumbass. During this conversation, Beast PMs me saying the boat is ready. It’s location was north of Common Denominator Port, on the West Coast.
Later on me and angry went to NT to buy some things. But first I had to pay someone in Roadside 4s for the boat, and did. At NT, I wanted a mooring anchor for my future sailboat, and a dredge. Didn’t get either because they where both sold out.

And then, the trip was on to get my sailboat. Started at Rockcliff, and ended at Udgaard. After trying to find the right way there, we had just about made it except for 1 problem…actually 3 problems.
A young troll, and two scorps on the 5 tiled wide cobblestone road. We dodged all three of them to the right and got to the north road and made it to Udgaard’s north side safely, only to briefly take in the beauty of the West Coast JUST as a troll popped up behind me to say “bye” with his club. I RAN as fast as I could to the shore and got away…BARLEY, as the troll was right on my heels. The only damage I had was from falls.
Angry on the other hand, ran to Udgaard’s guards with the troll in hot pursuit, ignoring my warnings about getting in the water.
After telling Beast, he got on his friend’s sailboat and headed there to pick us up. This was angry’s chance to see if they fixed the passenger lag bug…which they did not.
Infact, when we made it to Beast’s abode, I got off and tried to go up this grass, but kept on being knocked down. Suddenly, walls and buildings popped up infront of me.
I went on dry land and walked over to a house, to see a haunted cart come out of it. As in, no one was using it.
I turned around and saw angry and Beast where still in the boat…I knew I had to relog. But before I did, I saw Beast say that he couldn’t make the cordage ropes.
As I logged off, I told angry I feel like I’ve been ripped off. Paid someone 4s that couldn’t do the entire thing.
Getting back in, Beast appeared next to a cart he said what was mine and had my unfinished sailboat inside of it, but had an unfinished triangular rig that needed two cordage ropes.. I didn’t really know what to think. He apologized and offered me ropes to make a mooring anchor, then logged off.
I was expecting to just, sail back to Small Bears in my new sailboat…but no. I had to take the boat back home in a CART! Angry tried to think and told me to ask a GM to maybe one of them can teleport it.
I asked, and waited…. for what seemed like HOURS, still no response! So, we slowly got the boat back home.
Angry tried to help protect me due to my slower speed, but failed when we approached Udgaard, and a troll came down the hill after me. Quickly leaving the cart, I tried to run…but got a medium hit on my chest. I managed to outrun him and was only spared one hit. Angry got two med hits on him while trying to lure the pain in the ass troll into the village, along with a guy named Umballer who wouldn’t help us with our wounds.
I started to lose it, saying that this is crazy and can’t be done. But soon we where back on the road, only to see the same scorps/troll. And this time with a bear. Angry and me went into a safe house for the night.
It actually felt like angry was playing a harmonica when I was talking about Beast. And how we where in the middle of nowhere, at night. The mid-morning sun brought some hope though. 1 of the scorps left and so did the bear. I grabbed the cart and made a break for it, passing them on the right.
Passing another troll on the road, a lava spider, and a scorp, we FINALLY made it away from troll country and made it back to Oasis ok. But with the med hit I had, I had to take alot of breaks on the way. After eating, we continued and made it to Rockcliff without incident.
As I was going up the road to connect to the road to Infinity, I spotted a Young scorp inside the road and told angry, who lured it away just enough for me to get away.
Another scorp was waiting for me up the road, AND a bear that suddenly appeared to the right. Angry got rid of those issues and I continued to walk, seeing Bearback Lake in the distance.
Infront of me, I saw what appeared to be a … missing mine? You could see through the terrain and inside the game world.

Now I’ve been seeing these ALOT today. Mainly, you see mines, floating in the air?! I’ve seen this a couple of times in the past and thought it was just my damn graphic glitches, but angry was seeing them too. So where people in kchat.

Anyway, I decided to walk into it and fell down, getting teleported over and over again. Forced to relog, I asked angry if the cart was still there. He said yes and took it home. I didn’t know this when I logged back in and found it was missing.
But finally…. and I thought I would NEVER make it back alive with that boat, we did it! The boat was safe and so where we. After we tended our wounds and healed up, we went back to NT. I needed cordage ropes and he wanted more lamps.
Getting my ropes, I told him I was going home, but he needed me to help him look for lamps. So I did but didn’t find any. But due to the boat, he didn’t get much sleep and went to bed, telling me to build the fences. But I had other plans. 😉
Getting home and dragging the cart to my unfinished house, I put the cordage ropes on the triangular rig(nearly lost one due to damage) and attached the rig to the boat. All that was needed to be done as to move the boat to Small Bears, finish it with a peg, and.. have fun.

But I had to make this blog post before even doing that. So that’s what happened today. Very scary, and the odds where against us, but we made it back alive.
