But, this is what I do remember&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It started as I was wrapping up my 2nd vacation around the Home server. I just came on, next to Anaysoan Point after getting the meals I needed. I flipped on \/kchat to check out what&#8217;s going on in Wurm, as I was flying down the Northern Passage. And all I saw was a bunch of people calling themselves &#8220;bros&#8221;.<br \/>\nTime went on and I found out they where 4channers. And I also heard the direction they where going. Towards BBX.<\/p>\n<p>Curious of what was going on and if they where heading for my HS, I finally reached the harbor of NT, parked my boat, grabbed the shit inside of it and <strong>RAN<\/strong> through NT, and down BBH.<br \/>\nAs I closed in on the highway to Greenside, my Local began to fill up with people. Soon, there was like&#8230; I would say, at least 20-30 people. Maybe more. It was worse than Kchat.<\/p>\n<p>I went down the hill and saw the damage known as &#8220;brotopia&#8221;. And learned of what is called &#8220;\/v\/&#8221; has moved in. And they where <strong>everywhere<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/beniesbuilds.com\/img\/Wurm\/Screenshot%20Dump\/Benie\/wurm.20090108.2201.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I continued to run for my HS and watched as my Local began to clear except for 1 person I caught walking up and down the path to my house, and gave him directions to NT(he was lost).<br \/>\nGetting there, my local was clear&#8230; for about 15 minutes. The rest of that day, members of \/v\/ came and went from my local, with some of them walking all over my HS, looking for clay they could dig.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, my desire to move grew and grew to the point that angry let me barrow Benie to start my plan. And my plan is thus;<br \/>\n1. Get Benie to NT.<br \/>\n2. Get DH(Dragonhead) to NT.<br \/>\n3. Give Benie the deed to Dragon Forest. Log Benie off.<br \/>\n4. Get money. Grab deed. Go land hunting.<br \/>\n5. If unsuccessful, get DH back to NT.<br \/>\n6. Get Benie to give DH back his deed.<br \/>\n7. Send Benie back to Bennie Bay.<br \/>\n8. Cuss on DH(when outside Aegis and Local is clear)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>However, that plan will be postponed due to&#8230; unforeseen consequences. In the form of a \/b\/ raid.<\/p>\n<p>The next day after doing my chores, I attempt to log into Benie, and immediately notice how longer it&#8217;s taking to get in(getting kicked out should&#8217;ve told me that the number of players was way too high for the server to handle). And the lag until everything loads. I also notice how unusually busy NT is. But it doesn&#8217;t hit me until I leave angry&#8217;s boat and get to the token, when I see a truckload of people hanging around it.<br \/>\nStill, this doesn&#8217;t really bother me&#8230; until I log on DH, and try to get to NT. And notice how unusually laggy it is. Just then someone in kchat says &#8220;\/b\/ is attacking Wurm!&#8221;, or something like that. When I try to respond, it takes 5 minutes until it shows up.<\/p>\n<p>All this was doing, was sickening me. I tried to just ignore it&#8230; but it was just too much. Tried to get back home and noticed the house was missing, and I could even walk through it like it wasn&#8217;t there. Even the walls where invisible. The server was so laggy that it couldn&#8217;t load the collision models.<\/p>\n<p>Hours pass and I try to get back into Wurm after seeing the player count is 307, and succeeded. I wind up near BBX, like I never made it home due to the insane lag.<br \/>\nI go back to brotopia&#8230; and see what appears to be what&#8217;s left of a hunting party that tried to kill a dragon. Bodies, littering the highway. And brotopia was pretty much a ghost town.<br \/>\nAfter helping out a \/v\/ n00b who was &#8220;stuck&#8221; and didn&#8217;t know how to use his Climbing button, I get word that \/b\/ got bored and left the server. However, the damage to the server and the forest can still be seen, and felt. And the reason \/v\/ migrated far south of NT was because of \/b\/.<br \/>\nThinking about my HS, I turned around and went in that direction as quick as I can. When I got there, the house is still there&#8230; but&#8230; the Willow was chopped down. As well as 1 of my pine trees that was near it. Also my boat was gone (again).<br \/>\nFortunately this time I didn&#8217;t have to look far, as it drifted just NNE of my pier. Didn&#8217;t want to explain the last time it got lost because I&#8217;ve already explained enough about these eventful 2 days.<\/p>\n<p>But who&#8217;s going to clean up the mess at Old Brotopia? And is this truly the end of the \/b\/ raid? I don&#8217;t know right now. Only tomorrow will hold those answers.<\/p>\n<p>I just hope I can finally get this plan even started, let alone done. Even if I don&#8217;t find a new place, at least I can say &#8220;I tried&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So much has happened with this &#8220;raid&#8221; that took place in JK Home today, and I don&#8217;t remember everything.
