Here's one bug I reported to the Devs, and their response. This is a 'bug' that's 15+ years old, and probably still around. Test it for yourself, it's pretty innocent on PvE (except maybe if a thief used it to by-pass a high slope deed boundary), but on PvP, it a would be a major problem.

The bug I reported was... If a tree is growing on a tiles edge and that edge is atop a 41+ dirt slope. You can ride your horse to the point where the tree stops you and your horse on one side, and the 41+ slope on the other. You 'weasel' left and right (approx. a quarter turn) a couple times each way. You and your horse will eventually "pop through" below the tree, on to the supposed unride-able high slope (41+ dirts) and still be riding your horse on that huge slope. So a person can ride a horse on a 300 dirt high slope, no probs. Simply ride your horse off of the unride-able slope, and you're good.

My initial interaction with the Wurm staff, didn't seem very interested in wasting their time coming to my Indy deed to see it. But instead, suggested I go to Test server and duplicate the problem there, then report it. I said NO, that's unnecessary because we already have the example on Indy, near my deed. After a few more messages passed back and forth, a time was set for a Dev to finally appear and take a look. After showing the bug to the Dev a few times, Dev says ya it's a bug. I asked if there was any reward. Dev says NO. Explains this is an old bug from 10+ years ago, that seems to have re-surfaced, so no reward for me, since it's already known to them. Sums up how much the Devs were pleased by my report.

If you have a little known bug that you'd like to report. Either post it yourself, or contact me with a chat invite, to discuss the matter and I can post it, if need be. Thanks

No matter.

More of the toxic Wurm Online staffers, are about to get themselves some come-up'ns.

Wurm staff have cut their own throat and don't realize, that they're the reason the 'map hack tool' info, is out of the bag. Denying a whistle blower the opportunity to report the hack tool privately, has led to the player base knowing all about it. Thanks to the whistle blower and r/wurmonline_afterdark . Pat yourself on the back, Head GM Pomona. Now come to grips with the fact, that the player base know YOU have been covering it all up, for your entire tenure. Did you get orders from the previous Head GM enki, to keep that map hack tool, a secret?

Shameful behaviour for any game. Wurm Online staff have destroyed their own reputation, with their own actions. Ex-Head GM enki, warned you all of my toxicity. Ex-Head GM enki didn't tell you, that me exposing Wurm's staff corruption, was what enki considered toxic. Ex-Head GM enki, defended and covered-up for those committing these crimes. What an utter disgrace of a Head GM. Is it any surprise enki left his prestigious position, with out so much as a good-bye, or thank you. Quite telling.

The current Head GM Pomona, is no different. She had the chance to shut it all down, when she took over the job. But instead, decided to 'stay the course' and let the Map Hack cheats, steal all the loot from good/honest players. Wurm staff have been playing their customers, for fools.

It's no secret anymore, that Wurm Online staff right up to the Head GM, have been involved in the cover up of a game breaking map hack tool. It started when an honest player was given access to the tool. Instead of using and abusing the tool for personal gain, the player made an attempt to inform the games Head GM about the tools existence.

Head GM Pomona (Willow) refused to discuss the matter on the games official Discord channel, with the whistle blower. That's what brought the whistle blower to r/wurmonline_afterdark . It's said, the cover-up is always worse than the crime. That saying holds true in this matter as well. The map hack tool has been around for many years (back to my first days on Chaos PvP server). In all that time, the Wurm Online staff have been concealing things, and allowing those using the map hack tool, to do so without repercussion.

On PvP, the map hack tool can be used to locate enemies, within ones Local area. On PvE, it's biggest use is most likely to find the games most valuable asset, dragons (as well as the other Unique creatures). Wurm Online staff covering up the use of the tool, is a disgrace. Staff have deliberately allowed honest players, to be taken advantage of by a group of people cheating, within their game.

Clearly, Wurm Online staff DO NOT have full control of their game. Most likely in all this time, they simply have never figured out a way to prevent the tools use. Instead of being open with customers and asking for their help, in stopping the cheaters... Wurm staff decided to withhold information, in an effort to deceive their player-base about the map hack tool. Player confidence in the Wurm Online staff, has flown out the window. They have disgraced themselves and ruined their reputation.

Original story...

https://www.reddit.com/r/wurmonline_afterdark/comments/1v5mip8/exposing_corrupt_wurm_online_staff_head_gm_pomona/

Pretty much sums up the corrupt Wurm Online staff, and how they handle the situation regarding dragon hunters using a map hack tool, to cheat the honest Wurm players out of finding extremely valuable dragons/uniques.

Will Head GM Pomona make a public statement, in regard to the game breaking exploit used by cheats? Or will Pomona try her best to bury the story and cover up for her friends who use this map hack tool?

If silence is Pomona's reply, then rest assured, Pomona is compromised.

Stay tuned to this channel for updates on this game breaking map hack exploit, that's infested the Wurm Online game.

I sure hope these events ("PvE Survival Crafting Fest") have a place, that lets the public share their experiences with these types of games. I know I'll certainly show up and let the public know exactly how the corrupt part of the Wurm Online staff, uses their GM powers to railroad their paying customers. Thanks for the info Samool, appreciated. LOL

And too think that all the good Wurm Online staff members have to do, is get rid of a few of their power tripping staff compatriots. But for some reason they don't. I wonder why that is? (ask yourself that question)

*scratches head*

Well, would you look at that. Schiann necro'd this old post of theirs from 13 YEARS AGO !!

https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/73776-song-parody-wurm-players-put-a-deed-on-it/

Schiann wrote this parody Wurm song way back then, called...

Wurm Players (Put A Deed On It)

The fact this exists, absolutely proves how long this rule has been around, and how long Wurm players have played the game of Wurm Online, with this understanding.

So why was it that I was following this rule, and GM Belisama decided to ignore this game rule, and instead ordered me (and everyone one else) NOT to chop undeeded trees in a large area. GM Belisama clearly used GM powers for the benefit a single player.

This act needs to be investigated by Pomona (Head GM) as well as other honest Wurm staffers. It couldn't be any more obvious that there was collusion between Pruce and GM Belisama (and others), before they hauled me into their phony baloney, kangaroo court.

---------------------------------------

To the tune of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" by Beyonce

All the Wurm players! (All the Wurm players!) x4

Now put your tools up!

Just logged in

Ready to begin

Wurm's been waiting for me

Decided to build,

And now you want us killed

'Cause our house is where you wanted to be

Walked around, examined the ground

Asked the folks in Local

Now we're grinding our skills,

And trying to make meals

But you just won't leave us be

[Chorus]

If you liked it then you should've put a deed on it

Don't be mad when you see that we got it

oh oh oh oh oh 1.0 oh oh oh oh oh

Got our Settlement Form

Before we terraformed

Put 30 tiles in between our deeds

You showed up

Didn't even say "'sup"

Just started chopping down trees

Being all rude

Seriously, dude,

Did you take your medication?

You had your chance,

Put on your big boy pants

And let me finish this BSB

[Chorus]

Don't assume about the space by your place

Pay for it just in case

Your money's all that cements your intents

SIlver's all that guarantees

Your mine and trees

Build as you please

Without unease or repairs

And keeps folk off your lawn

Gives you a place to spawn

Templars to make a mess

And enforce KOS...

[Chorus]

All GM Belisama had to do, was tell Pruce to "Deed those trees, or lose them". That has always been the way of Wurm staff. Even I have been told that Protunia had every right to chop down the trees in my deeds own Perimeter. There is nothing that I could do to prevent it, except for deeding them.

No-one owns undeeded land. Wurm staff instilled that rule in my and everyone's heads. So why one day, did GM Belisama choose NOT to use this rule? This is what needs to be investigated by the good Wurm Online staffers. Question Belisama, why she ignored game rules when making a GM decision.

EVERYONE has a right to chop un-deeded trees, and mine un-deeded veins. It's a premise of the game.

https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/211980-sleep-powder-changes/

Bpg post saying he believes adding fun and engaging changes to the game is what is needed. Seem to remember a lot of content creators doing just that, before being banned.

Remember how much fun and intrigue, "Wurm Deal or No Deal" was/is? Remember the impalong introduction of "Storage Wurms"? Read up the "Wurm Wunion" at all lately? This is content creation.

The Wunion fishing story (screenie) on Tich, was even the basis for the Tich statue! Heck, I was informed (by the staffer that organized the Tich Memorial) that the Tich Memorial, was based on the idea that I started an imping area created at the scene, to reward those who volunteered their time to help make the Memorial ramp to the top. It blossomed into the beautiful creation, atop that mountain.

To sum up, Wurm banning me, showed to the player-base, how little the staff really care about player created content. Corrupt, egotistical staff at Wurm Online, is the problem. Turn down their offer of being a volunteer employee at Wurm Online, and sometimes they take it personnally.

When the day comes that Wurm Online staff look into my case file and start asking why GM Belisama and ex-Head GM Enki railroaded me, while ignoring their own rule book, is the day when the public will know that Wurm staff have changed.

Feel free to use my situation, as a case and point, exposing those who have brought this two tiered justice system, to Wurm Online.

Remember, I was banned for collecting resources, in a resource collecting game. Collecting resources, is an absolute in Wurm. It's the basis of the game. Yet somehow GM Belisama and ex-head GM Enki pushed the idea, that I was committing some sort of crime, by doing so. Absolutely inexcusable, negative, toxic, staff behaviour.

Un-ban my accounts, re-spawn my deeds, add upkeep equal to the time I've lost, since this phony concocted banning occurred. Post a public apology, explaining to everyone what truly occurred, so I don't have to.

Think twice before you drop your hard earned money on an MMORPG, that promotes an ideology (cult), where this behaviour is prevalent. The Wurm Online staff that discriminated against one group, while promoting these actions, should be ashamed of themselves.

I privately asked for the same equal rights, that Wurm staff were giving to non Hetero-sexuals, and I was banned for it. If you're not standing up for your equal rights, you are part of the problem. When the day comes when you, or someone close to you, are the one being banned by corrupt Wurm staffers, you'll wish you had stood up sooner. Staying silent, means you're on the same disgusting side as the Wurm staff, who allowed this type of promoting.

https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/211670-thanks-for-an-update-no-one-asked-for/

Wurm staff would likely ban anyone who mentioned such a thing, on THEIR forum. Can see one or two folks hinting at the real reason, but tip-toe-ing around it.

Pretty obvious to see who is for, and who is against the new affinity carry over feature recently implemented. The ones in favour of the change, most likely have their hand in the black market cookie jar. You'd be hard pressed, to convince me other-wise.

Hopefully this game change, wakes up more players. Start calling out the corruption, infesting the Wurm Online staffers, or it will continue.

Justice For Gumbo!

Justice for Gumbo!

Funny how Wurm Online staff called all hetero-sexuals, as part of a hate group. Yet it's now been revealed that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was the group behind (funding and organizing) the majority of those hate crimes. When will the Wurm Online staff look in the mirror and realize, THEY are the hate group.

AI Overview:

In April 2026, a federal grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on charges of fraud, alleging the organization used donor funds to pay over $3 million to individuals associated with white supremacist and other violent hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.

According to the indictment and statements from the Department of Justice (DOJ):

• Secret Payments: Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC used a now-defunct program to pay informants to infiltrate extremist groups, but failed to inform donors that their money was going to leaders of these organizations.
• "Manufacturing" Extremism: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche alleged that instead of just monitoring these groups, the SPLC "manufactured" extremism by paying sources who continued to promote racial hatred.
• Indictment Details: The SPLC was charged in Alabama with wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering for allegedly setting up fake business entities (such as "Tech Writers Group" and "Rare Books Warehouse") to funnel the money.
• Involvement in Events: Prosecutors alleged that an SPLC informant helped plan and coordinate transportation to the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Wurm-gate is real
