Day 9, that once again I’m going to try to mark as my final day here. With only 19 days until Wurm Fall, it’s about time I get moving to the next server!
\nStarted a bit later than usual (not to mention Solrise is now 32 minutes later than it was on Day 1). I wanted to take care of something in Minecraft first. Believe I got that thing going the way I like it, but I still need to play around with it to get a good balance between production and insertion.<\/p>\n
So, back where I started. It seems my ‘roar’ I did last night actually did the reverse and attracted mobs instead making them shit themselves. \ud83d\ude1b Started with a bear that was kind of near to my campsite. Luckily it didn’t aggro when I logged in. Killed it, then started going back down the mountain. Was a bridge I saw off the side of the mountain I wanted to check out, so I went back up to it. Pretty long bridge. At the bottom, a troll shows up…followed by another. Ok, this is too much. Spun around and went back up the bridge, with the trolls starting to gain on me. They nearly got within range to get a whack on me, but I finally made it off the bridge and down the other side, losing them.
\nI needed to separate the two. It did work in my favor, but for some reason I couldn’t aim high. I kept hitting the 8 key on my numpad(which is the default keybinding), even hitting the button on the combat popup. Was forced to run away as my health started to go down. Got back to the bridge and ran down, losing them again. I could almost hear them laughing their heads off at me. Pride shattered. :\/<\/p>\n
Started heading the way to Wolf Island, all the way on the other side of the server. Got a bit lost, and a spider helped itself as I was checking the map. Forced to kill the interrupting asshole, and found my way again. This route took me back to Sandhill..but also -though- the deed. Followed it without question and took another road going North. This thing would take me to Esert, but I stopped by Thallspring again to get some more pictures. Deed’s a lot bigger than I thought it was.<\/p>\n
Went around the north side of Esert. Had to cut through Standford and Son’s, and then I stopped and followed a sign leading to ‘Heros Of Leva’dara’. I remember seeing a guard tower named this deed’s name on a mountain I couldn’t get all the way to the top, and wanted to see if there was another way up. The roads were looking quite promising here as there might just be one, but there wasn’t.
\nContinued trying to find a way up, then I started to hear the sound of digging very close to me. Infact it was so close as it was right under me of a guy (named “Wendigo”) leveling down the roads here. Behind him was a supreme wagon (named “Shanenigans on Wheels”) being pulled by two bulls and two horses.
\nAsked if it’s possible to scale the mountain behind me. He told me he has a deed to the west, and a road that leads up near the peak (that I would need to climb in order to reach).
\nHe showed me the road, and I thanked him. Didn’t encounter much resistance (except for a wolf, a few scorps, and a few rats).<\/p>\n
Breathtaking view here. Though I had an issue on my hands with Prem. I’ll spare you that bag of drama for another blog post. Up here is a deed named “Drunken Monk”. It’s a pretty small deed. I also saw a really flat area (that I assume to be the actual deed that was here). This is the area I saw when I was down at a lower level (thinking this is the highest I’m going to go). There’s two guard towers that are named after the past-deed.
\nSol starts to go down. I’m unsure if I should camp here or try to get closer to Wolf Island.
\nDid see the actual peak of the mountain. Was just within range, but I could see why the guy said I would need to climb. Decided against it, thinking there would be a troll or something as I’m trying to get there.
\nAnd yes I did setup camp. I found another flat area. But when I was getting ready to log off, a spider attacks. Luckily I was near a guard tower and they assisted in exterminating the big bug.<\/p>\n
Sol’s taking a lot longer to rise than before. Walking around the campsite at night, rambling on about having no Paypal option. Had a wolf and a few rats trying to catch me off-guard, but they now have a 3rd (bloody) eye in their heads.
\nSol eventually rose at 8:50pm EST. Somewhere (yet in my Local), a spirit guard was going after an old troll. That was my signal I needed to get off this mountain, feeling a mob wave was about to pounce on me.
\nWent back down the road and got back to ground level. The guy I spoke to was gone, but they left their wagon here. There was also an empty coffin. Another guy popped up in my local (named “Tranqilizer”). No response from a friendly hello.
\nNow back on the coastal road, going past The Red Dragon Inn, I started to hear the sound of hatchets going on trees. Three people in my Local. Saw a guy up on a hill with a horse, cutting down trees. Said hey and if they’re going to found a new deed. No response. Started to get annoyed with what I felt were people ignoring me. Saw this person stop working, and looking like they were looking at me, then leaves.
\nI said “Ok, don’t talk to me, then. Have a good day.” Was I rude for saying that? Personally, I don’t think so. But what I didn’t know is it would actually bite me in the tail later on….twice (with the second bite quite painful).<\/p>\n
Finally I reached Wolf Island. More abandoned deeds here. Though there was actually one deed still alive (with two people in Local). Soon I reached a road on the map that showed it would go down close to Wolf Mountain. Decided to follow the northern road, but not without several trolls blocking the way. Managed to kill one of them, but wow did it give me such a thrashing.
\nThis northern road ended with more abandoned deeds, and a horse pens (with one having a gravestone to a past horse). Was seeing more and more of this really nice deed. Suddenly I get a PM from one of the two people in my Local that were in the area of the deforesting. The person waved at me…then quoted the thing I said about “don’t talk to me” saying they were AFK. All I said was “Oh…erm.” “I’m sorry” never came to mind, for some odd reason. This was the first “bite”.<\/p>\n
I’m now exploring the abandoned deed’s shipyard (and going through their stuff). They had some tables here that I could pickup, but with how heavy they were I dropped them and marked this other area on the world map. With that done, it was time to go south to Wolf Mountain. Yet the road didn’t exist…
\nAnd then the second, MUCH…much more painful bite came, in the form of Jakerivers, stating…to not be rude to people in local. The very guy who helped me on Day 3, now sees me as nothing more than a little kid. I did my best to defend myself, but all it did was get worse, and worse…and worse.
\n“Jakerivers cuts your pride deadly hard in the head and damage it.”
\n“Your pride is dead. R.I.P.”<\/p>\n
…It was time to go home. Yes..home. Far, far away from this server that I’m obviously not wanted. Hell, will the other servers ‘kick me out’ JUST FOR TRYING TO HAVE A FRIENDLY CONVERSATION?!?! HUH?!?!?! Eversince I got to this server, I’ve had a bad taste in my mouth of its community. No, I don’t mean to take it out on the locals. I’m not THAT immature. All I want is to be noticed. You all can’t spend even a second out of your grindy lives JUST TO SAY HI?! So, I’m back home. Got my 2.5s of horseshoes off the old horse and waved it goodbye as I set sail back to Indy. I don’t know if I’m going to continue this. At least, I did say Day 9 it’s possible I would leave the server. And it looks like, I was right.

\nHew plan. Say NOTHING to anyone that pops up in my Local. Don’t say hi, don’t say hello! NOTHING!! One thing I hate more than mobs, are people who deliberately ignore me. “Maybe they’re AFK” for some reason never comes up(most of the time), because maybe I feel everyone and everyTHING is against me in this fucking game (as I have since Day 1 of joining Wurm in 2008)!! Sometimes I feel they go AFK just because I’m not a local to the server (and this is the way they treat outsiders).
\nYes, that’s childish thinking. But again, my brain is<\/em> a 10 year old. Might as well use it as an excuse. :\/<\/p>\n
\nI just…wanna go home, set up a target dummy, and watch the damn thing get 100 damage from all the frustration (and depression) inside of me.
\nSure, some of them were shockingly nice (like the one that allowed me to get my horse back), and the one that tought me how to kill trolls.<\/p>\n
\nIt just stings I got told off like that, but I guess I deserved it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
