lol . The Good:  Large map you can terraform the tarrain  make mine tunnels through mountains make buildings guard towers to defend your land from the monsters and outlaws,  you can tame wild animals to be pets to help you in combat or to lure them into a farm area where you can horde thousands of chickens cows and pigs.  On the wild server there is pee v pee  you can destroy some ones house,steal all there stuff and flaten there farms and take the deed money while they are offline lol.  you have to build a good village and terraform your place so its hard for raiders to break in. so if you want to be a crafter you have a none pvp server to be safe from the free for all pvp.

the bad: its very time consuming to get things done takes a noob one hour RL time to smelt  ores so you can make your first few items like metalic tools.  dont expect to have much fun they are other felings you may get that will keep you playing this game but fun is not one of them lol.  Grind is insane but not as much as some korean mmo's i have tried.  stealing you cant leave any thing around you have to watch your fire the whole time or some other noob will take your stuff out of the fire.   no customizable characters or visable armor.  The healing system sux you will get hurt and have to play that way for hours for some of it to heal or spend hours trying to find materials to make healing supplies.

Wurm Is waiting! waiting for you!

Makes me want to watch Hawk The Slayer or Yor Hunter from the future.

 

Yoooooor... Heeee's the maaaaaaaaann.....

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

:-p

Seriously, I tried the game out a bit... It says to go talk to the NPC near where I started, but I couldn't find any such NPC that had any useful information for me O.o. I think he quit.

This is the first time I have ever seen a game advertise the time it takes to craft as a positive thing...  And it didnt say fast it said 15 mins...

Hi,

This is a pretty good review, I must say. Thanks to this article I know a lot more about Wurm Online, a good which looked great to me but a bit too hardcore...

But I wish you would say a little bit more about the combat system in the game. Because in this article, you only write about the crafting/harvesting system.

 pvp is the only minus of game :[ it's pretty unbalanced for now and hard for new player (as most of player on wild are pretty high skiled fighter)

but you can have pvp on home too ;) and it's much safer like:

spar - fight as long as someone have 10-15%hp then it auto stop

duel - you die in this so not good idea ;]

"war" - this one never happened yet as I know ;) if 2 village/ single deed holder want they can declare war each other but on home server both side need to agree then you can kill each other without penalty ;)

The first versions that players could get a hold of didn't even have animals or combat at all.   granted that was a really really really long time ago 6+ years.

I really thought that Wurm was really unique, and definately worth checking out as well

My big iffie on it was that it IS NOT 3rd person in any way. The engine is very interesting but very old.

Otherwise, Wurm players, keep supporting the devs!

Me and a few friends just decided to try it out yesterday.  We're pretty sucked into it now.  We found an abandoned town and we're starting to build things in it again.  (Town next to BearBack mountain btw).  Can't explain why cutting down trees and making planks is this fun.  It just is.

If you have some friends, try it out and attempt to start a settlement.  Being alone wouldn't be too thrilling.  (Or join someone else in-game).

You so totally rock! This goes in my Zen today LOL

Too often, do people think graphics are everything. Graphics are not the game. The graphics are only there to help present the game. The real game is within the mechanics.

This shallow view of games so many idiots have, is really starting to irritate me.

How this horrible game even got a mention is beyond my comprehension. The only redeeming quality I could find was that it was free. I tried it out and played for a few hours and this is what I thought.
1. Graphics - Beyond horrible - Makes original EQ look like the best graphics ever made.  No way to switch from 1st to 3rd person. Sure you can see for a mile, but  your looking a miles of blocky junk.
2. Tutorial - There isn't one. Supposed to be a starter quest lady, but she wasn't anywhere near where she was supposed to be. Never found her. Great way to introduce new players to the game. Controls are non-standard MMO so you need a tutorial.
3. Quests - There aren't any. You are dropped in the middle of town with nothing equipped, nothing to do and no where to go and no direction and no map. I'm sure this game has a point, but after three hours of randomly running around trying to accomplish something I gave up from sheer frustration.
4. Gameplay - I'm sure some people will enjoy this game, but spending all my time running up and down a river looking for one plot of clay while getting stuck on game geometry items or not being able to climb out of 3 inches of water or jump over a pebble was enough.
 
Overall Game rating 2 out of 10.

1. graphic is nice in wurm ;P if you have it not on lowest setting

2. tutorial lul there is tutorial if you can find one of 3-4 tutor on each spawn point , wich stand like 5-10 tile from place you spawn then you must be total noob

3.quest that why this game is so great there no quest. Quest make game silly.... 123123123 of player run around and do this same quest again and again.... and in wurm you do whatever you want. and equippment? just make it yourself like every  think in game ;)  bah and 3 h ? ;p don't be funny , spend on it couple day and you will like it :)

4.yea... jump over pebble , 3 inches water , you sure you launched game not played with icon on your deskopt ?:P

overall maddyn99post rating: 2 out of 10 ;p

bah 99 mean you born 1999 yes ;)?

wurm can be too hard for 9 year old people but I saw younger ingame :)

LOL definitly  not a game for wussies. Graphics could use some work yes, but the spirit of the game is great! Now if there was just more critters to wack, and NPCs that actually did something the game would be better, none the less try it out if your not a wuss.

Ever since I first started playing games, I have been frustrated because of limitations. Why couldn't I climb up that slope? why couldn't I go to that area. I see it, I can look at it, why won't it let me walk over there?  As I continued on to MMORPGs, the annoyances only continued. Alright, so, I play a druid on World of Warcraft, when I go to the moonglade, there are Taurens right next to the Night Elves, they'll talk to me. Why can I not ask them to teach me to speak Tauren? Why do I have to be an enemy to my fellow druids who happen to be of a different race?

Just as I began to tire of the game, my friend discovered Wurm. As I started playing, I realized that this was the game for me. It was the game I had been dreaming of playing since I first started playing games. True, on my computer I couln't have the graphics up very high, but on my friends laptop, the game looked amazing. Granted, there was no character customization, and some of the graphics were not the best, but the gameplay is what I was interested in. I have been hooked ever since.

Two of my friends and I have moved from Wild to Home, and established a new town there. We are attempting to construct a port town with an established trade route between us and the wild server. This is the only game I know of where you can start from nothing, dream big, and make it come true through sheer will, hard work, and patience.

In the initial instructions it also said you could simply type /mission.

That was my experience with the game as well.
