So when the server is up, first thing you should do is try to get to the big white light in the sky and convert to a god if you want to become priest. All priests are good at pvp but Fo and Magnaron are probably the best for fighting.

After that it's pretty much a mad rush to find a good place to settle, finding horses and trying to find out where the Lady in the Lake is that gives out the king title at the start so we can hopefully get a goon king.

Looking for strong men to discover what's under the helmet.
I could only resist about 10 days last challenge server before getting angry at our allies and HOTS in general and quitting to do more productive things, hopefully whitelight side is less spergy.

Gonna chop a hundred logs and then make thousands of shafts and be first to 100 carpentry then ragequit again this time probably.

Quick update on the first day of this scenario, looks like there's a smaller server population overall, but our village is starting out with more players than last scenario, and we have a large pubbie town right next to us and we've generally been minding our own business. There's lots of small skirmishes and 1v1 fights breaking out around the server at random, don't think I've seen more than 5 players on a dogpile at once. We've killed a few scrubs that wandered too close to our village, but for now we're mostly focusing on building the village and crafting equipment.

In as nietzscheansa will see if I can get some buddies in on this too. From the writeup it reminds me of minecraft pvp maps like blockskriege or siegecraft, but with actual graphics! should be fun.

Wait, Wurm is actually worth playing now? Last I played I ended up quitting because all I ended up doing was spamming some priest skills all day and night using a macro of a sort, and pretty much nothing else.

I'd consider going a Fo priest again, but considering that the Challenge server is PVP-orientated with the higher fight skill at the start, how is the crafting side of it as well? With now that we can build multi-storey buildings and whatnot, I'm rather tempted to not be a priest so that I can build my own castle to die miserably in due to some strange mechanic of some sort.

Edit: Joining as Gloha, I need to build my castle and drop a target somewhere far away below to train archery off.

Do we have a policy for inviting non-goon friends to play? I have a couple of dudes I play online games with who are not willing to fork up :10bux: or let me buy them an account.

e1: Also how do you send a pm? Trying the format in the OP just results in [22:02:51] Unknown command: /pm Hello this is Nietzschean from SA, please hold babby's hand. Ratskull

e2: The solution is /tell <name> <message> and apparently also to kill you are self as soon as you load grid. :iamafag:

Well gently caress me, I had the syntax for PMs backwards. Fixed it in the OP. And non-goons can join the village, we already have a couple of pretty cool pubbies here already. Well except for one really obnoxious guy that we should probably wall in tomorrow and kick him from the village unless he shuts up.

So... it says if you didn't get an email, to contact a game master. Without linking a direct way to contact a game master. Anyone point me in the right direction?

Wow I may have to check this out. If nothing else the graphics have improved massively since that one time I spent about 3 minutes checking it out several years ago, I never would have guessed the screenshots posted were from the same game.

Trip report number one: killed my am self, spawned inside a closet, wandered around falling off of cliffs and was killed by a crocodile. :downs:

Trip report number two: spawned inside a closet, was unable to leave closet due to some sort of clipping error, a helpful goon closed the door which allowed me to walk through it. :iiam:

Trip report the third: spent half an hour spamming "mine" at a wall and have accumulated a pile of rock shards which I can only assume are useful. I have also gained longsword skill in the process. :confuoot:

Trip report the fourth: server down :cry:

Yeah I couldn't figure out why I couldn't chop down a tree or dig until someone told me that I needed to double click the item in my inventory so it turned green to "activate" it.

I started to get the hang of things a little last night and even helped kill some enemy guys who were by our village.

That's enough to help out with some of the big PvP battles over the weekend if our other village members can provide proper weapons and armor. Or you could just use the default spawn gear and if you get lucky you can loot a corpse for something better. I'd recommend letting a cow kick you while afk for about half an hour first though to get your weapon/shield skills at or near maximum.
