I’ve been busy making alot of things out of iron. Not one of my favorite things to do, but it has to be done.
\nI finally made that lantern I needed to replace the iron metal torch I lost, and imped it to 26 QL. I also imped my alt’s lantern.<\/p>\n
After that I started to make exceptionally-hard to make lamp heads, to have six lamps and plant them along the path down to the pier.<\/p>\n
As I was working, I was in Starhero’s teamspeak. One of his low-ranking village members (and is sort of a pain in the ass to me and them) got one of his friends from Steam to join the channel. His friend loves survival games and Hero needs the help.
\nI would be down there to help them, but I have my own jobs to do.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the guy is going to be getting the game sometime this week. If I’m on (and not busy), I’m going to boat him from Samling to New Galway.<\/p>\n
So, as I was making the lamps, I asked Hero about these Wishing Wells. To me they seemed like a way Rolf gets more money.
\nHero actually had me understand what Rolf’s real intentions about those wishing wells were, by looking into the eyes of a developer.
\nYes, what Rolf did to JK-H was bad and pissed alot of people off. But Hero claims what Rolf was actually doing was trying to see if people wanted a challenge. He never snapped and just did it for no reason. He says when Wurm was created, Rolf wanted a PvP-only server. But he saw that people also want a peaceful server where they can live, and work on their skills.<\/p>\n
So that’s why he created JK-H. He wants his customers to be happy, like any honest retailer\/developer. And that’s also why he created Independence (aka the Freedom Isles). And that also might be why he’s making this Epic server.<\/p>\n
From what I understand about the Epic server, it’s unlike anything ever done in Wurm. There’s going to be challenges and other stuff to keep the game alive.<\/p>\n
And as for me (and almost everyone) thinking all Rolf thinks about is how fat his bank account gets, it’s not true. What I have failed to understand for years, is how much he<\/em> has to pay to keep those servers up 24\/7\/365. What he gets from us is just a drop in the bucket. This is why he wants<\/strong> you to buy money. Hell, even selling your account or selling silver is perfectly legal. No other game allows the buying and selling of ingame currency but Wurm Online.<\/p>\n If only angry explained this to me instead of Starhero. Then I could really<\/strong> see why these two care about Wurm so much. I’ve been such a fool to not think like a developer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been busy making alot of things out of iron.
