[WO] Capybara Tent – Obtained!

I’ve been trying to purchase a Capybara tent to go with the rest of my collection for quite some time. I posted on forums looking for one and I had been advertising in trade chat in game – and today, finally. It paid off.

Remember when I bought the wagon? When I obtained banners. When I turned the wagon rare. Well, I had been trying to buy a tent ever since May of 2025, and I FINALLY got a hit this week.

40 silver later, the tent is mine. I love it so very much. These items are called ‘PMK’ items – they are from player made kingdoms, in this case the Chaos server. This particular PMK no longer exists, so you can’t make any new capybara items. I’ve been collecting bits and pieces to this collection for some time and the tent was the final piece I needed. Now I just need to turn it rare.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[WoW] Gold Making Wrap Up – Week 23 (2026)

OK so I haven’t quite made it back to selling on a regular basis yet, but I’m attempting to. The problem is I’m not really feeling World of Warcraft right now – but I do want to keep sales up, so I’ve got my auctions set to 48h which is a schedule I am simply not used to.

Sales were low – half a million gold, which is better than I expected but still pretty low. I’m sure once I get used to the new schedule it will go a bit better, but for now I’m struggling.

That is OK though. Gold making is pretty flexible, and cares more about being consistent than anything else. Here’s hoping I can get back into the swing of things.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

[WO] Dragons – Oh My

Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Wurm Online and part of the celebrations included a get together on the SFI islands (Independence, in specific) while there is an NFI gathering today (that I expect will surpass the numbers we saw yesterday). The dev team was there to guide us through some events – including the first time we’ve ever seen a PURPLE dragon. We all got a bit of purple scale and drake from this unique, which we could then combine into a larger piece and make armour from – and yes, the armour is in game, and it is VERY purple and awesome looking.

Unfortunately I do not own enough scale or drake to have a set of this made, I do not even have enough of the basic colours to own a set, but it has always been a goal of mine “one day”.

The event was fun, it included the slaying, building some monuments, a game of musical chairs, and even a fashion show. I know putting on things like this can be difficult and time consuming, so a huge thank you to the team for organizing it.

Afterward, I took my priest characters to the Magranon fissure currently active on the Independence server, while Stargrace went off to Deliverance. Now, Deli is where I started my Wurm Online adventures, all those years ago. I moved to various servers after that, until in 2020, when I settled on the Independence server – and I’ve been there ever since. My Wurm bestie, Moumix, has a deed on Indy but also started one up on Deliverance and I thought it might be nice to see if I could find a casual place nearby too.

So yesterday after all of the events were done I sailed around, looking for the perfect spot for a deed (that wasn’t too far from my place on Independence) and I actually found it.

[Wurm Online] Happy 20th Anniversary

Over the years, I’ve written a LOT of blog posts about my number one MMORPG love – Wurm Online. When I first started playing, I had never seen a game quite like this one before. I think that still holds true. Before the days of Minecraft (Notch would later move from Wurm to – well, we all know this story) we were terraforming and building deeds in Wurm.

I have not been playing for those full 20 years but I have played for many of them. I’ve sunk a lot of hours into the game, proudly. It fits a niche that no other game that I’ve ever played has fit – and I’ve met some of my closest friends in this game. Some are even still my friends now.

It was the game where I first became interested in community – and I was in fact their first community manager. I boldly volunteered myself for the role after learning that there was so such person. There has been such a person ever since. My name is still on the credits, and while I was just a kid back then who knew absolutely nothing about the gaming industry, I moved on to then work for Carbine Studios and NCSoft, and while those games I worked on may no longer be around (I miss you, Wildstar!) Wurm is still here.

If you happen to be playing, give me a nudge! I’m Stargrace, on the Independence server.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

[GW2] The Announcement

There’s a ton of speculation happening about ArenaNet’s latest teaser that dropped yesterday, showing – well, not a lot. A bit of map, and the promise that more information would be coming June 5th (that’s Friday).

My thought is that this will be a stand alone single player game set in Tyria. I don’t think it’s specific to GW2 or GW1 because it was mentioned on all of their socials, everywhere. I don’t think it’s GW3 like a lot of people do, because I simply don’t think enough time has passed to make that sort of announcement.

I do think it is an announcement about an announcement.

In a perfect world, I do wish this would be a Guild Wars 3 announcement, but I just don’t personally feel that it will be. I also see how Crimson Desert is doing (basically a single player version of Black Desert Online) and I think there’s absolutely money to be made with these single player games. Am I excited? Eh. Well. I’m not really keen on a single player version of Tyria. I do enjoy supporting ArenaNet, and I imagine we’ll just have to see what happens Friday.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
