Journal

March 23rd, 2009 Gate recreated his account so that he could try out Golden Valley.

March 24th, 2009 Gate's mine got pilfered out of due to not having a Gate Lock. He had 44kg of iron lumps.

March 25th, 2009 Gate discovered an abandoned mine, made an anvil, and locked it up.

March 26th, 2009 Gate's mine got infiltrated by a Black wolf, and almost ate Gate alive. Shortly thereafter, Rhaen and Azog came to his rescue. Gate then followed Azog/Rhaen to their village, which he then joined.

March 27th, 2009 Gate's house was made in the village of YEW, and lives there currently.

April 10th, 2009 Gate decided to move up to where his "Copper mine" is located.

April 21st, 2009 Gate will no longer give anything to any newb on GV, seeing as his mine got pilfered out of today due to lava destroying ONE of his lowstone walls, allowing a newb to jump in, grab a numerous lot of useful items, then use the cart to ship them out of the side of the cave. Among the losses were: 7ropes, only cauldron, 4 saucepans, smallbarrel+25kgof gulasch, cart full of useful items where gate kept everything that he would need ever, iron file, scythe, rake...and the list goes on.

May 4th, 2009 Gate is planning to move from his mountain home, over to Powers' house, where he will await the release of the non-PVP server. Hurrah.

May 11th, 2009 Gate successfully transferred over to MR-H carrying the big amount of 88kg worth of items. After walking for about 15 minutes he met up with Jiker who then loaned Gate a cart. Currently he has planted down next to the settlement his friends are making, which is where Solaris once stood. He is currently debating whether or not to join a real village for awhile, seeing as the trip will be long.

May 12th, 2009 Gate got banned due to client editing? That's complete balogna as I would never cheat in any game, expecially right after I spent real life money and 12 days of in-game time working on stuff. That would be incredibly stupid. I hope to know the exact reason why I was banned, to somehow relieve myself from my ban. If I cannot, then i'm leaving wurm for good. If I can get banned at any time for doing absolutely nothing, then what is the point in playing. It's just pathetic and incredibly annoying, and it pisses me off greatly.

Gate's final message originally posted on the forums

I'm not telling how I bypassed the IP ban for the forums, as I have no need to look at this page from now on. However, I happen to be Gate. (This was the account I made ages ago, and just looked up the password for it now).

I am stating that I will never be coming back to wurm, even though I have technological expertise to do so. If a mod just closes/deletes this right away, I don't really care. I'm just going to PM it to a few select people that I can call friends on here, and let them decide if they want to read it or not as well. But I thought I would throw this out to the public as well.

---MY STORY---

I started back on GV on march 23rd or so, and stumbled around. I had played wurm before, but was still a little rusty on everything that went on. So I eventually found a mine, and a tried to claim it as my own. I spent a total of ~4 hours chopping down trees, mining iron, and making them into lumps so I could make a large anvil. Unfortunately I had to log off, so I just left everything in my mine. The next day I awoke to find everything stolen from me. I then moved to a different mine and successfully attached a lock on the fence, therefore allowing myself to relax.

A week or so later, a wolf spawned into my mine. Being the newb I was, I could not survive against it, therefore making me have no place to go. I let out a few cries for help on PA help, and thankfully Azog and Rhaen came to my rescue. Upon killing the beast, they invited me to join their village, which I graciously accepted.

So we started on our journey over to HOTS lake.

The next day I accompanied Azog over to Powers' house to do some chores, so we could recieve a cow. That was the first time I met Powers, and i'm glad I accompanied Azog.

Over the next week we built an entire village up on the western shore of HOTS lake on the GV server. I did a lot of the terraforming there, which took a lot of my time. (This is how I got to 20digging)

Eventually I learned more and more secrets of the trade, and started to read the wiki more and more. Therefore almost beckoning me to be more vocal in "PA help".

Over the course of about 1 month, I believe I helped somewhere around 100 (newer) newbs with their problems, no matter how trivial. I answered questions, and even gave advice, even if there were PAs on. I am glad to say that 80-90% of everyone on the GV server knew me, and it was in a positive light.

After a while, everyone in our village started to become inactive, so I moved up to where I found a copper mine while exploring one time. I loved the view so much, and it was one of my favorite places throughout the whole map. During this time I got my mining and a couple of other skills up to 20.

A little time after that, I eventually decided to move over with Powers, as we were both anticipating the PvE server. So I placed a thread on the forums stating that I was giving away my house (which no one responded too :\), so I just gave it to Atlas. He was ecstatic.

So I packed up all of my belongings, and moved over with Powers, waiting and planning on what we would do once we got on the PvE server.

One fine day I awoke to a sign stating "I'm moving to MRH soon". So I took out my credit card, went to the wurm shop, and bought meself some premium time. Then I headed over to MRH with everything I owned. Thankfully I met up with Jiker, who allowed me to take one of his carts, and live nearby him, along with Praxius.

So I started building numerous amounts of fortifications all around me, so that I would be protected from any potential raiders, meanwhile talking to everyone in KChat. (Man I love KChat).

I recieve numerous offers to join villages (over the course of 2 gaming sessions with hours of playtime of ~8 hours straight each), and I might've joined one, but today I awoke to find out that I was banned from the game due to a blasphemous accusation of cliend modifications. Oh well, I would just like to say the following:

Thanks to everyone that has ever helped me, I will never forget it. Thanks Powers, Lweena/Jade, Rhaen, Azog, Minari, Tanaris, Cyrusx, Gaffy, Garrettwademan, Onesickpuppy, Emoo, and Disciple.

Some of you I may not have known for long, but I still thank you a whole lot.

That being said, I'm actually glad I got banned for no reason. It makes me realize that I don't want to play a game where I can do nothing wrong, and lose everything I worked for.

I played this game almost non-stop. A little more than 12days worth of play time, and I joined late march. Thanks Rolf, thanks a lot.
