I want, to play, it again now. Damnit.
Oh shit. I wonder how much has changed since I last played it in '08...
I probably played it last in 2010. I was pretty high up as far as know ability went on wild. Although I wonder if they even have decent animated models yet or lag compensation for movement. Used to be really jaggy.
I wonder if they ever made more than one player model. Or, for that matter, animations.
I remember playing this thing with fpers and then /v/ came and pillaged our village. The only thing that i really hated about this game was the corrosion mechanic and how you had to repair everything like 4 times a day.
Looks interesting.
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;38703765]I wonder if they ever made more than one player model. Or, for that matter, animations.[/QUOTE] There's a female model now. That's a massive 100% increase in model count.
I knew it felt like it was in beta before and I'm sure I said it in freedom at one point or another and people always told me that the game had gone gold or whatever.

I thought the game was fantastic until I logged in after not playing for two days and realized that the house that had taken me days to build was gone and everything inside of it had been taken.

Golden valley is now closed and all users are in the larger, more spread out servers. All, but one, of the servers are open for free users now.
[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;38703765]I wonder if they ever made more than one player model. Or, for that matter, animations.[/QUOTE] Um you probably didnt check out the thread. I posted a lot of those stuff there and most of them are on the test server. [editline]4th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=McMissile;38704032]This.

All the FP invasions had a village that completey stops decay. Back before freedom opened GV had increased decay and no houses thats why they decayed. On the current servers a 10ql house can stay for months If anyone is interested in the new stuff, animations,visible armour,costumizable characters etc... visit the thread: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1205771&page=10[/url] If you havent played for years then its worth checking it out after the 12nd. I visited GV on my alt and there was about 80 people doing the tutorial. Theres about 5 servers open to free to play players and huge improvements.

[QUOTE=ASmellyOgre;38703765]I wonder if they ever made more than one player model. Or, for that matter, animations.[/QUOTE] They did! Almost everything has or is going to have animations after the updates. Player characters still look ehhhh in my opinion but at least they're not... Well...

It's funny how this is the one game where I can actually get excited about even the most trivial looking animations. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5Of0gv2o78[/media]

Wurm is one of those games I will always love and want to play because of the tedious yet rewarding experience, yet simply don't have the will to play because it consumes my life.

[QUOTE=aydin690;38706992]What this man said^ This kinda made me want to play it again but then i remembered the tedious grinding required to do anything and i was like "nah, fuck that shit".[/QUOTE] I don't think it's as bad now. For example, making a longsword used to be INCREDIBLY tedious in Wurm if you were new. If you made the blade and failed, boom! Scrap. Then you had to let that cool, and then put it back in the forge to heat up, and then you had to try again with drastically lessened chance. Then you had to make a handle from a shaft, which wasn't too bad. But if you somehow got both the blade and the handle, you had to put it together with like a 15% chance of success. If that didn't work out, BOOM! No more blade, no more handle, just a big heaping pile of scrap. Thankfully, Wurm just recently got rid of iron scraps while working. Now, if you fail with the blade, you just get a tiny bit of the mass of the iron lump removed and you can keep working with it, no scrap. If you make the blade and you put it together with the handle now and fail, you don't lose anything! Both items just get damaged. It's actually gotten a lot better.

And theres many new things to do too. Also back then there wasnt many enchants(none on GV) nowadays you find enchanted tools everywhere that increases speed and skillgain. High QL too
This games always interested me, is there a starting guide / wiki?
[QUOTE=xianlee;38707352]This games always interested me, is there a starting guide / wiki?[/QUOTE] When you first create an account and play you will be put through a tutorial to learn the basics here's a wiki: [url]http://www.wurmpedia.com/[/url]
Last time I tried it, there was 9 people online.

Its just that every time I start to play again I will get settled down nice and quick, and then the rest of my time is spent digging a mine to china, it's like an addiction of mine to aimlessly expand the size of my mineshafts. :v:

Then, we'd settle there and call it "Skyming" or something and we'd be mountain vikings forever! As we all know, the one thing that unites us the most in Wurm is the GO GO CHINA MINE :v:

The group I was with while traveling was scattered in a forest because of spiders attacking. neat
