Wurm Online
What is Wurm Online?
Wurm Online is a mmo that focuses on building and survival rather than grinding up levels. Think of it as a cross between ATITD and Ultima Online. The system is skill based which means that you get better at the things you do as you do them. The terrain is deformable and can be dug or mined into creating holes that go down to rock or tunnels through the rock. When you cut down a tree it is gone from the world. Wurm Online is about making your home and trying to survive in a fantasy world, it is a fantasy simulator. For an idea of the multitude of items,skills, and creatures check out their wiki. There is pvp but not on the home server.
How much does it cost?
Wurm Online can be played for an unlimited amount of time for FREE with a few limitations. Skills and characteristics cannot go over 20 which reduces the quality of items you can produce. This also limits certain advanced actions that aren't necessary to play. If you wish to remove these limitations it costs 5 euros (around five dollars) per month. A basic account can permadie and have their character deleted if their body_strength gets too low from dying.
How do I start playing?
First go to www.wurmonline.com if you already have java installed just click on the LAUNCH button in the upper left and it'll start downloading itself. Its around 100 mb. If you don't have java there is a link to it on their page. Make sure you register an account while its downloading or you won't be able to play. We are on the home server. Once its done downloading you can set the resolution by clicking on the options button on the login screen. After that login and you're ready to play.
Is there a PA village, who's in it, and how do I join?
UPDATE: We found a new site and have moved there. Arcadia has been founded! Here is Becoming's guide on how to get there. Also here is a map of the world in case you get lost, but it doesn't help much. Since the team idea worked out so well we are continuing to organize people into groups. Make sure you're working with us and joining a team or you won't get food.[/URL]

Join the appropriate IRC channel for your group and visit them to make requests
A PA village has been started but has not officially been founded yet. We need your help to get it done because we need all the labor we can get. We will accept any number of applicants even if you don't want to pay its fine. We want all of you!
If you want to join the first thing you do when you log in is /tell one of the people on that list and tell them you want to join. Do not move from the starting town or you will get lost and probably die. Getting to our spot is kind of complicated and its best if one of us leads you there. Once you get to the site we'll teach you how to play.
Summary
Wurm Online is a free fantasy sim game that lets you feel like you're really accomplishing something. Its not the prettiest game in the world but it has deep gameplay. The world really is quite immersive even with the primitive graphics.
ALSO: We are on IRC:
server: irc.slashnet.org channel: #paforums_wurm
You can access IRC from within the game to do so:
1. Press F1 to get to the console
2. In the console type "IRC irc.slashnet.org" without the quotes, keep trying until you connect
3. In the console type "/join #paforums_wurm"
4. MAEK CHAT
System Requirements:
* Java Runtime, version 1.4.2_06 or better
* A graphics card likenVidia GeForce 2,ATI Radeon or comparable,
with recent drivers and at least 32 MB Video RAM (128 MB recommended)
* At least 512 MB of system memory (1024 MB recommended)
SiS Savage 3D, VIA UniChrome, and most Intel chipsets do not support a version of OpenGL high enough to run Wurm Online. Some ATI Rage chipsets might be able to run the game somehow, but you will probably get a horrible performance. Even a driver update won't help here.
If you want to run Wurm Online on a laptop, you most likely have to use drivers supplied by the manufacturer of your laptop (Dell, HP, Acer, etc) instead of those by the manufacturer of your graphics chip.

yes, and good lord are they a pain in the ass. nubs really can't kill anything 'cept large rats alone- a pair or three people can take on wolves. Spiders, bears, and the like roam the lands and thirst for blood. As we set up a stable smithing operation, however, we'll be able to produce weaponry and armor to allow you to fight freely.
Downloading.
what file is it trying to download?
also, do you have the latest version of java?
Marshall is escorting nubs from newtown to our camp. Send him an in-game PM with /tell marshall
I don't know about the java, but it's trying to download wurmclient.jnlp
I'll fuck with it when I get back from work, I gotta go get ready now anyways.
That's the client. Let it download, if you have java.
I might have to wait until tomorrow to get in on it and I don't know how much time I will be able to devote to it
But it sounds so awesome

:winky:
Edit: oh, wait, figured it out. It was worth it, though.
And now I think the game just crashed on the loading screen
What is this
PSN ID : DetectiveOlivaw | TWITTER | STEAM ID | NEVER FORGET
is java updated?
do you have service pack 2 installed?
what video card?
if there's a crash log, post it
So, awesome.
Will it run on my compy?
I can run WC3 and morrowind quite well :P
it's pretty unoptimized, but there's a thread on their forums on which settings can be turned down to vastly increase performance
Another thing, I'm assuming that is the site for our village in the picture.
Yet there is a giant mountian in the background.
I vote we make on mountain for awesome's sake.
nope.
Our place is so much better.
Well that's a fine kettle of fish
Basically what this means is that I am fucked
Stupid intel laptop chipset

I hope
Imagine ATITD, in the first person, with combat. And deformable terrain. And grass. And free.
Anyhoo, I'm going to bed. I'll be back tomorrow to answer any questions :O
Game is chugging along at 10 fps or so. Nice water effect, but everything else is pretty bland. Still, it sounds like it'll be great once I figure out what I'm doing.
edit: What's the day/night cycle time? It's annoying to have such limited visilibity in the dark. Edit 2: 1-1.5 hours. Their wiki's not bad at all.
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums | My ko-fi donation thing.
Name's Rhesus ingame.
I'm just about to goto bed, I'm sorry ): (5am here still no sleep) It's a 20 minute hike too, that's just one way. Next time I catch you on though, I'll gladly escort you.
Everyone here is asleep as well, so its just me mining away.
Edit: Never mind, I'm too hungry to goto sleep yet anyways. I'll contact/come get you on there.
