Attention "The Wanderer"

[Ken]

Yes... well, it wasn't you then, and I apologize for any offense. I figured the message was a bit crude for what you usually did anyway. There's one nearby that I believe is actually yours, but it was there before I moved in, so I'm not complaining. Means the "several people" thing applies after all, and that said, whoever's actually doing this: Same thing, cut it out.

[Rift]

no problem. i can understand how it could be fustrating for someone to reduce the ease at which you get resources purely to furfill their vanity.
I merely wished to create something enjoyable for everyone. @malicus: i completely disagree, if i pressed into the wilderness and found some interesting runestones carved there i would be happily suprised, and as shockedfrog says some people do indeed enjoy them. concidering they are built pre-settlement, they aren't really selfish at all, and are more well.... fun?

I agree with Rift, I've seen some really enjoyable rune stones, including the stone carver's series.

Obviously something like "Rift was ere 2009" or "Laketown RULES" would be a bit obnoxious, but I haven't seen anything like that

[Krantarin]

Maybe rocks should appear in farm fields. At least, that's how it works in real life!

[Denvon]

I don't see what the big deal is, I've seen such runestones as 'up' and 'green and blue', etc. There are even a bunch of runestones going down a not-yet-complete path and they're all labeled God-King Jorb's Road. Nobody complains about those though, just about The Wanderer because there is a thread about it? I enjoyed all of his messages thoroughly and I'm sure a lot of other people did too, when they were starting out. Even later on you can enjoy them if you find different ones further out. I really want people to keep carving the Wanderer stones, it adds a level of enjoyment to exploring that isn't there otherwise.

And as for taking resources, it merely encourages newbies to venture out further and settle in a resource rich environment instead of just building up outside of the Stone Circle, or in the first ring.

I personally haven't seen anything from the wanderer. I think you would only need on stone in your village for rocks and you also get an excess from smelting.
Maybe runestones should start to be made from the actual stone taken from a boulder instead of making it from one... Maybe you should be able to find boulders when mining as well. In any case. I find the runestone messengers quite enjoyable. I wouldn't ask them to stop... Maybe start carving in Mordor a bit more where the stones aren't required as much...

I don't know about the rest of the world, but where Camp Noctis is located, the entire forest east of it was clear-cut and virtually all the rocks turned to runestones (not by the Wanderer or TSC, but by whoever came through later and saw the last few rocks and went "MUST HAVE RUNESTONE, OH BUT I DON'T WANT TO FIND A BLANK ONE AND *CARRY* IT HERE..." - except for the few trees and rocks that had been forcefielded by then) - and then if you keep walking west or southwest you find yourself in almost untouched territory. Maybe coincidentally, or maybe not, where the terrain becomes mostly untouched is also where the foxes and other animals become hostile.

I wouldn't want to force newbies out into a situation where they get knocked out repeatedly by foxes they can't fight simply because they can't find any rocks anywhere else.

[StarChaser]

I know the untouched area, I travel there often... Of course I also travel to mordor and I can't kill ring 1 foxes. I haven't been knocked out by those forest foxes yet. Maybe a boar once, but I provoked it.
