The best part of all of my 3 or so experiences with Wurm has been wandering through the woods, with only a lovely .PNG map and vague references to landmarks to guide you, praying that you are actually headed in the right direction.

Spiders were actually nerfed significantly when they made changes to the fighting system about 6 years ago. Now that everyone starts at 20 fighting you can kill one in single combat once you get a horse and a full set of combat gear. In the first few goon villages though yeah, spiders were instant death the moment you bumped into one. Walking through a forest in this game was like walking through a minefield, except the mines could walk around and chase you forever.

Also the village of Chode Caliphate has been founded. Send a private message to Dirtycheat or Ratskull with /tell <player> <message> to request an invite in-game, or post here.

I had way too much fun playing this a few years ago. Building a secret underground base with friends. Defending it from lurkers and animals. Trying to maintain the brutal upkeep when you've dreamed too big. It looks like there is more than one player model now? Rejoice.

Yeah I unironically love this about Wurm. I always give myself one reason or another to take an adventure across the map. Ill prepare food and water skins and then set off on a morning. For all its huge flaws, this game makes traveling really enjoyable..

This was my ill fated trip to gooncamp last night. Immediately behind me is a sand tile and ocean. I died minutes later to a moonwalking fire boar.

e: Does anyone have screencaps from that one goon village where they had the horrific horse death camps? I remember poking around in that village one night and I stumbled into a stable that had countless dead foals and horses, all which were skinned and gutted and labled as genetic"rejects" by a sign.

Yeah I was little concerned about alienating our peaceful neighbors but there's kind of an understanding in the Horde of the Summoned kingdom that you can get killed for almost any reason, especially for loitering around someone's village while alone. Normally though when we encounter pubbies on PvP it's a pretty clear-cut kill-them-all kind of situation.

Also the terraforming for the village is pretty much done, now we'll start putting up walls and launch raiding parties by boat. Also I see automated archery towers listed in the crafting recipes tab, so we can try spamming those around our village borders

No joke. An hour after I made my character, I was slapping armor together in a forge and staring spiders to death in mortal combat. Quite the contrast to the endless grind it used to take to get one functional hammer or whatever.

Large Blacklight town of Black Summit


Camp at the base of Black Summit, some kind of magical fountain thing



JK base Two Shores


JK base Dim Lake


Large fortified JK cities being built near Dim Lake, also very close to Black Summit, think this one is called Dateline NBC


Some kind of Mol Rehan town to the far West


"Blacker Summit" across from us, referred to themselves as 'Dragonspine Castle'

That's some impressive exploration, this will help us find potential raiding targets so stick around the voice chat or the steam group to hear our plans for hunting and raiding trips - we'll be doing at least one every weekend, including this one. Also I've finished the plan for the first gatehouse, attach bricks and mortar to it while I finish the town plan. Also have the start of a screenshot timelapse of our town as it gets turned into a deathtrap fortress:

If skillgain is significantly higher, isn't it kind of an obvious choice to grind the poo poo out of archery? Back when I played archery was god-tier PVP since you could belt out severes like noone's business.

Yeah archery is fantastic in PvP and you gain it much faster now, and you still get regular fighting for each kill too. You can get to like 70 archery by killing maybe 10 trolls, and that will let you aim for the feet or the face. Everybody in the village needs to have a bow and arrows and at least like 50 archery skill
