Of course you do. But since the downtime (and re-reading what Soleil <em>actually<\/em> said to me when he was taking me to Esteron for the first time.. aka, he <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">never once<\/span> indirectly hinted at going for bison), it&#8217;s making me re-think that having a single horse would be a better bet.<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m not saying I&#8217;m getting rid of the bison. No, that&#8217;s actually for when I eventually decide to disband my deed. They&#8217;re going to stay home, on standby. And to make sure they&#8217;re going to stay there, I made the decision to let my ven 5-speeds go (and euthanize them). It hurt me more than them, as they were really, really good horses. But I&#8217;m forced to cull the herd (in order to care for the bison), while B2 cares for Uma.<\/p>\n<p>With this done, it still made me feel the game was against me (the fact Uma is now Aged). Then I remember what Retrograde told me (when I had asked him those questions about the creature cage).. when he said &#8220;as long as the animal is cared for, it will live forever&#8221;.<br \/>\nCaring For her on every server, would ensure the &#8216;may die&#8217; thing (once she turns ven) will\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong> trigger.<br \/>\nTime to get to work, then.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nBut before I started, someone PMs me saying they could brand her on Inde for free (as a response to <a href=\"https:\/\/forum.wurmonline.com\/index.php?\/topic\/164142-wtb-horse-branding-on-every-server-except-xancele\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this thread<\/a> I also made, asking for her to be branded on every server).<br \/>\nTried to go there as quick as I could, but RL things were getting in the way (which took a half an hour) until I was able to get back and finally get to the person ..who just happens to be living at Williamweird&#8217;s deed.<br \/>\nAfter giving him my flint &amp; steel, a kindling and my branding iron, he made a campfire near me and attempted to brand the horse. Unfortunately, he got a message about that he has to have existing prem time to brand it (claiming he never saw this message before).<br \/>\nSo, no branding. Sucks, but at least I got to care for Uma here (scratching Inde off the list). He apologized for wasting my time, and I lied and said how it&#8217;s OK and he&#8217;s fine (while also keeping in my head &#8220;yes, yes you did waste my time. You promised me a brand, you should had looked that shit up before I left home!&#8221;.. meh. Whatever. It&#8217;s not the end of the world.<br \/>\nAt least I got to see William&#8217;s place again, so that&#8217;s cool.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nThe rest of them went better than planned (of getting Uma cared for of those servers). All I had left was Release, and of course Xanadu again (have to let go one of the bison to re-care for Uma).<br \/>\nRelease however, would become a problem. Just like the others, I found the nearest land mass to the server border that I could find. But this one had a deed (that I couldn&#8217;t access its token because of locked gates). But there was a spot that was off-deed, and thought I could just do it there. But as soon as I unloaded Uma from the cage, she decides to play games with me and walks INTO the deed, to where I can&#8217;t lead her ass back to the cage.<\/p>\n<p>I was forced to make a support ticket and ask for assistance. Waited a good half an hour, suddenly Uma starts to go in circles. With so many boats, I couldn&#8217;t really see where she was going a few times (to where I could catch her and lead her before she got away)&#8230; but she nearly did, trying to go up a mountain (still in the deed&#8217;s border).<br \/>\nRe-loaded the crate and stayed close to her, trying to verbally coax her back down. Another half an hour passes, and it seemed the GMs didn&#8217;t see the issue being serious enough (that she could get away from me).<br \/>\nFinally a CA responds to the ticket (with a name I should had noticed (Dreammaster), but I was in dire straits). The CA is then &#8220;technically this is deffinitely not a bug, but its funny as heck so let me go get my GM&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Funny as heck&#8221;.. are you fucking SERIOUS right now, after what I&#8217;m going through?! .. But I actually had <strong>no<\/strong> idea, that this was the King of Trolls himself; Enki. Wow. .. WOW. *facepalm* I actually couldn&#8217;t help but to laugh with him.<br \/>\nSo he sees the horse, sees me and says &#8220;get out of that boat and climb up there and grab that horse!&#8221; I said &#8220;Hehe&#8230; well, it&#8217;s the fact I can&#8217;t Lead her.&#8221;<br \/>\nThen he realizes I was actually telling the truth (how I have no Lead permissions). So he flew up to her, and teleported her to the ocean (where I was doing doughnuts around her in my boat, until I finally got the Lead option to show up).<br \/>\nI thanked him and went back to the spot. All he said is &#8220;you are welcome&#8221; and logged out a minute later. After caring for her, I wanted to throw her in the cage for what hell I went through with her.<br \/>\nEnki then left a message as he closed my ticket, stating &#8220;Was almost a good laugh. Not a bug, but circumstances were daunting.&#8221; I <em>never<\/em> stated it was a bug (even picked the &#8216;Other&#8217; option when I made the ticket). Also, I didn&#8217;t have this issue the first time I had an issue where I couldn&#8217;t lead the horse (and a GM moved it without question). Of course back then, this was when the horse had a saddle.<br \/>\nWhatever, this won&#8217;t happen again (as caring for is much more important than branding right now, to ensure she&#8217;ll never die). I just didn&#8217;t expect Enki of all the GMs to show up.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nCaring for her in Xan went as planned, uncaring for the youngest of the bison to make room for Uma. And, it&#8217;s done! Now I never have to worry about her croaking on me when taking her cross-server (while I wait for people to brand her.. <em>if<\/em> they even do). Infact I feel they&#8217;re probably saying &#8220;why should I even bother branding it for this person if he&#8217;s not willing to join my village? Does he not know this is a multiplayer game, that you&#8217;re not supposed to play solo?&#8221;<br \/>\nBut even if I have to bump the damn thread until I&#8217;m blue in the face, hopefully there&#8217;s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">someone<\/span> out there that would be willing to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I start this off, there&#8217;s a few things I have to say.
