Ugh. I&#8217;m wondering why I&#8217;m even doing this.<br \/>\nI mean, there&#8217;s no hostiles anywhere around here! It just feels like a waste of time to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, with the new horses and the cart I&#8217;ve been using it to gather more rock shards to make my life alittle easier on myself. Due to the water at the entrance to my mine, I have to do several things to get the horses (and the cart) inside the mine.<br \/>\nImmediately I started getting bugs. The first one was disappearing horses when looking away from the mine. And the more serious one was the fact I couldn&#8217;t unhitch the horses and get them and the cart out. Kept on getting &#8220;You are too far away from the Mature fat horse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Posted it on the forums. A GM named &#8216;Wollschaf&#8217; (seen him before as a regular person. He also codes parts of the game) helped me out, telling me that the first issue is likely a client issue.<br \/>\nBefore I knew, the GM was standing right next to me as I was submitting the pictures to his PM.<br \/>\nI did my best to explain what I did and how I could possibly reproduce the issue. And it all let up to me fucking up (which worked before the update). Hitching horses at the entrance of the cave causes the server to think the horses are still outside, which lead to both of my issues.<br \/>\nI suggested to him that he could teleport the cart and the horses back outside, and managed to. Freeing the horses from being stuck in the mine forever.<\/p>\n<p>I then unloaded the 100 rock shards I mined. He helped (which would be a mistake after) and then had me reproduce the problem I was having with the horses unable to unhitch in the mine, stating if I&#8217;m able to he&#8217;ll be able to tell Rolf about it.<br \/>\nSo I tried what I did and surprisingly enough, I couldn&#8217;t redo it. Like all it needed was a good old fashioned kick in the ass by a GM.<\/p>\n<p>He also told me I could possibly fix the water at the entrance to the cave if I had two shaker orbs, and used them while inside the cave. Then mined a new entrance. But he also says he&#8217;s not 100% sure it will work.<\/p>\n<p>After that, he left. I tried to pick up the rock shards, and 2\/3rd of them had the Steal option.. on my property. So I had to call the GM back here to get the shards converted to neutral so anyone can pick them up.<br \/>\nWhile he was around, I lead him down to those three boats and ask him if he could remove them for me so I can build my pier. He says that I need to post a thread in the Vessel Lost and Found section of the forums before the GMs will take the necessary measures if the boats are truly abandoned. So I do.<br \/>\nTen minutes later after I do, the same guy that helped angry with that sailboat said the one that owns the rowboat next to my settlement has left a &#8216;long time ago&#8217;, but won&#8217;t tell me how long it&#8217;s been. As for the two other boats, they are still unclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>Also, as I was talking to the GM, another person was in my local, overhearing our conversation. When the GM left again, I decided to talk to the person.<br \/>\nSays s\/he lives in Fairwind, which is just north of me. I wondered if he knew about what happened months before I saw this place and asked the person. S\/he said that they &#8216;founded their settlement a long time ago&#8217;, and said s\/he saw them two times, and then never again.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nLater in the day I decided to check how damaged the dirt and sand piles I dug up were, and I saw I needed to get that pier done NOW before this loose dirt\/sand decays.<br \/>\nSo I did. Meanwhile, someone in kchat was looking for a sailboat. When he mentioned the name, I remembered seeing it when I was going up the east coast with my alt while moving away from Vorgon and told him. Unfortunately, he has now given me the job of finding it again, and will pay me for the trouble if I do find it.<br \/>\nHe also mentions about a new server being released soon (why he&#8217;s trying to find his boat). I asked if it was the Golden Valley being converted to a tutorial-only server. He said no and told me he got an email yesterday about it.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to check mine and found another mention of this unknown &#8216;Epic&#8217; server. Stating a possible &#8216;mass return of old players&#8217;, yet not really giving any details about it. Like if it&#8217;s going to have PvP or not. Or even how to access it. If it&#8217;s anything like the Wild server, then as I said before it could possibly be a replacement to it.<br \/>\nYour guess is as good as mine, folks. But anyway, I have to find this guy&#8217;s boat tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the login server finally went back up about 20 minutes after stating it will, I&#8217;ve been busy making bricks for the guard tower.
