I put out a "job vacancy" advertisement for a maid to help keep the house clean.....ummm when i woke up this one had arrived ! (no ..i didnt put it there ..it spawned randomly inside my house...)

The horse's name is "supergas" .... i wonder why i chose that name?

endgame? ummm i been playing ylands for way more than 20 hours ( and nowhere like as much as many other players) ....and have not seen any endgame.... ? However your comments are good. The game is still Alpha, and developing and a lot of what you suggest would enhance the game more. The updates keep coming ..and so will the game grow. Rome wasn't built in a day ..( it took 25 hours) we need to take the whips to the BI development team to get all these suggestions into the game

There are no bodies laying around ... perhaps a form of "roadkill" ?

Despite warning signs ... a locked door...bars on the shop windows ..and extra warnings placed outside... some people must use an exploit to gain entry behind the shop counter. The stupidity of it all is that there's nothing inside the shop to take, and the warning signs say this. And the homicidal shopkeepers do not make friends with would be shoplifters!

A postscript to the above post: The front counter is made of colored boxes each labelled to show contents and with instructions how to obtain the contents ..you do not have to enter the shop .. There is a warning sign saying the shopkeeper inside is homicidal and to keep out. The shelves etc behind the counter are decoration ---they have no contents The access door at the side is locked with a warning not to enter. But what happened? I hear a call for help - and discover a guy in his undies stuck on the counter complaining about the mummy/shopkeeper attacking him ! Apparently he used a known exploit to gain access to get behind the counter to see what was in the (empty) containers across the back wall and the shopkeeper surprised him ..and although he won the fight, in an attempt to escape from the mummy, he got stuck between the counter top and the ceiling ( its only 3 blocks high .. and not accessible by means other than an exploit.) Which makes you wonder.... All those warning signs, the contents are accessible from outside the front counter, yet they have to "break in" to see whats in the boxes at the rear of the shop .. This is one case where the exploiter was exploited! The mummy shopkeeper now has an assistant ..and i fitted bars across the front window as a precaution..whats the bet someone else gets caught despite the warnings etc ------------------------------------------------------- I just logged in and despite the bars on the window, the locked door and the warning signs ... another player has met his fate with the shopkeeper! Makes you wonder , doesn't it? and the shop floor is littered with fittings he stole from around my help center! Karma or justice? well you cannot protect people from their own stupidity. leaving the corpse there as an additional warning Note: the only way into that area is via an exploit, and that's a ban - action on this pvte server Note that this is NOT a trap : there are warning signs locked doors, bars on windows ... yet it seems some don't obey signs...

We now have a clothing supply store on our region.... to help new arrivals look stylish as they fight off predators etc. Note the shopkeeper... he is an ex-griefer doing community service ( no names mentioned )

yes! ...... its very hard on us gals when running away from a predator when "unsupported" in the pectoral region

i heard my name mentioned and my ears burned yes we need more female suitable stuff.... blouses, slacks, skirts.... and better whitey tights hehe

To stop other players sneaking up behind me and stealing stored items while i am busy building, i hired Panther Security Co. ...he's now got 3 offsiders patrolling around my base perimeter There's is now another security firm patrolling the other side of my base... run by Mr Leo Pard and associates

Well well well ..you can change your name but not your BI account identification No. One of our players saw a superb 3 masted yacht parked offshore... sailed by a new guy still in his undies. She wondered how a ship could be built in such short time by a new player Well it turns out the ship had been stolen and this new guy has a similar name to someone who earned a reputation for griefing and harassing on a PVE public server. A quick check by admins and its the same guy. he was obviously on this Pvte server looking for revenge... and as he had stolen a ship, was not here to create and be social. Well stealing is a No No and an indication that the rules are not going to be observed so this dude has now been banned from several servers and its probably best for other private server admins to note and follow suit. Sorry old fruit, you have given yourself a bad name , and its obvious you read these forums and know where people are ... so coming after them and stalking them on a PVE server/game wont work. Changing your name doesn't work too ... If you like PVP so much, why not join those servers? Obviously PVP is your aim and source of enjoyment...we are not stopping you going to play on them, so why not join your like genre and leave the PVE people to enjoy their game. Meanwhile we continue to build and thrive on a friendly PVE server with a great community .. ....

p1 only will bring up 3 games/servers ...select the unlocked recruit one

well this guy did not get a chance to really bother... he the bothered one now...looking for somewhere else

This post has prompted some behind the scenes discussion.. I seems possible for some players to bypass doors... yes there is a known exploit, but unlocking them? Some players are able to unlock locked chests? ..and padlocks how? Well seems some players are able to duplicate the keys off the key ring of someone they have killed. Guess that explains the above. Now it seems some players can change their names ...and one person as confirmed they managed to create 3 different accounts/game names. How? The obvious logic.. they have a hacked version of Ylands, or access to a hacker program And yes..such programs DO exist, and although the creators of these programs say they do not advocate hacking, they say that what you do with the program is up to you. That's like giving someone a gun, and saying " we do not want you to rob banks or shoot people, but if you do, its not our fault and its your decision" Ylands hacked/modded versions available? ...you be the judge. Mr Google has the answers if you ask him the right questions in search

White pigment can be difficult to craft as there are not many items available to use...... chalk, cotton, flax...birch bark, buckwheat .. It would be useful if there were actual chalk veins ...( near cliffs? ) that could be mined, or perhaps coconut meat ( copra) be added to the crafting any comments , anyone?

you can find pieces of chalk ... while digging up ore..but they are like diamonds... and gold coins ...and powder kegs... they just appear! .and a bit of advice ..if you dig up a powder keg with a pick ... stop immediately and grab it ..if you hit it again you will find yourself back at spawn minus everything!

The reason why so many servers are unoccupied... is because , according to chat on other channels, players are preferring to work in the editor, creating etc things that are not possible in the game with the limited functions/materials.. Perhaps if some of the editor functions regarding building were introduced into the standard games , you would see more players online. By this i mean being able to place objects at different angles, and also the availability of different shaped blocks panels... or perhaps blank faced panels where the builder can chose a pattern/texture for them prior to placement etc. Also ship hulls that can be modified and therefore easier to build upon. same with vehicles. If players had a wider range of crafting materials and more construction options, then that might drag some out of the editor and back into the game. Its kinda boring to be the only one on line in a MP game, building and crafting, then see a player arrive ...drop down a completed humungous elaborate house/castle/boat etc they made in editor.... then they log out leaving you standing there aghast...with your half build mini outhouse..! If only in the game i could easily build something that"s not the basic square/rectangle bland structure available to me because of limited construction shapes etc... But i persist.... maybe one day....

I cannot get this job done because the works supervisor keeps using the workstation... claims he has more horse sense than me...

This is the help center on "Chickenrun" island It features an illuminated decorated pool area, and the 2nd pic show the Office and the Post office ...still under construction ...and the work stations for new arrivals to use. The post office is where each island inhabitant can leave messages or items for other inhabitants to collect. There's a table with writing instruments and a box out side where visitors can leave reports, messages etc to be passed on to the admins. Its not functional yet, a work in progress and i am learning new building skills every hour. Feel free drop by look and if desired , build somewhere. The views are free and this is what PVE really is.

@Indomitus.... I have a sp game going where i have the cube and i leveled a spot and "create" ...withing a Protection Barrier. After the building is complete and blueprinted, I use a hammer to deconstruct parts of it and re-shape the building, keeping the roof and other difficult parts to build. Its possible to build several structures quickly..

I had this protection barrier thing and thought it might be useful as a decoration too ... so i incorporated it into a sculpture and it actually looks useful ! (Just joking, Ane and Ales ) Oh the the house behind is my creation too... blueprinted and very roomy !

Can confirm seeing the name on the server ... at 1:42 pm my time i asked another player in our discord channel did he see a "Docteur" on spawn island as the /who command said Docteur was on line. It was after that time lag became apparent .. I guess this could invite the pun reply " Docteur who ? "

well done! .. send a PM to Ane asking her to look at this thread ..she will, and when she sees he is being trouble on more than one server, with multiple reports from other people, she can weigh up her options. Now i recall we had to clear up floating balls of dirt on Red's P1 server during a period of lag, and we were wondering how that could happen unless someone had a terraformer. Now i see that was around the time Docteur paid a visit, but no direct proof it was caused by him. But we have to wonder..

As i suggested.. by typing /who in chat you see who is on line.. and if you see him, copy down his Bi account no. and advise Ane if he causes trouble. Seems like a kid on the loose home alone. They cannot respawn after Ane shoots them down

I Know how you feel, MegaChristalle ... when you have that happen to you, its disappointing and you just worry about defending yourself. These griefing types get pleasure by creating misery for others.. best use it as an opportunity to rebuild better...and create blueprints next time so you can restore what they try to destroy.
