All the best as a hobo! And if you're on Indi, I am Nimba proud owner of the collection of sticks and shacks (limited playtime) known as Storm Light. I blog about Wurm sometimes too on Avatars of Steel. You know I'm really glad you're trying it... I laughed very much at the thought of you of all people doing the tutorial.

I'm in Istaria for another week or so, and then I'm trying Wurm Online. I like the concept, but you hit the nail on the head with the difficulty in creating a character <i>ex nihilo</i>. I'm worried that that may be a deal breaker for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-53568805002302043832012-02-20T23:26:11.800+00:002012-02-20T23:26:11.800+00:00Excellent!

If you need any help with anything, feel free to PM me - name is Moxie in-game. :)<br /><br />They are working on new graphics and animations, we're seeing changes now with each update. I know that they are definitely working on new horse and player character models, perhaps once those go in they'll actually be able to let players straddle the horses properly. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-31009241789704902422012-02-20T18:01:53.181+00:002012-02-20T18:01:53.181+00:00@wildboarinn Just popped over and read a bunch of ...@wildboarinn Just popped over and read a bunch of entries on your blog. Excellent reading! Wurm looks so great in screenshots, although they really need to do something about the circus riding.<br /><br />You are quite right, of course. If I was playing Wurm regularly as one of my primary MMOs then a day or two to build a house would be absolutely fine and so would a month or two to landscape an estate. I'm sure I could very much get into Wurm at that pace, which is partly what I'm afraid of!<br /><br />Minecraft looks fascinating in terms of what you can do but I have no affection whatsoever for the 8-bit graphic look. I lived through it and I no more want to go back to it than I want to watch movies on a 12" B&W portable TV. <br /><br />As to what server I'm on I think it's probably Exodus but I didn't pay much attention. I'd have to log in to be sure. I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered if I'd arrived in a town called Green Dog or The Howl.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-82273181238128576882012-02-20T16:17:08.679+00:002012-02-20T16:17:08.679+00:00Hm...

The actual terraforming of a deed, setting up animal pens, and all of that can take longer though. I've been working on my spot for a few months, but it's a massive deed and I've done a LOT of terraforming, fencing, and other activities during that time. <br /><br />If you're looking for a faster sandbox experience, Minecraft (which was of course developed by one of the former co-creators of Wurm) is decently close to that, although I think it's too fast, IMO. I'd like to see a sandbox that's sort of between the two as far as far as speed goes. <br /><br />I do some Wurm coverage on my blog as well, wildboarinn.net. What server are you playing on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-13433530582742482412012-02-20T13:19:28.169+00:002012-02-20T13:19:28.169+00:00That could well be the reason why my first MMO exp...That could well be the reason why my first MMO experience with SWG went nowhere. It felt to be honest like I'd have to devote my entire life to it to make any progress. Maybe the fact that the friend showing me it mostly focused on managing a score of crafting / mining operations didn't help endear it to me. <br /><br />Compared to that WoW was like a revelation as I could go and do stuff at my own preferred pace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
