The village disbanded months ago, folks. Feel free to read through the posts and get a feel for the epic adventure that was the Bay12 attempt at wurm, or use this thread for anything wurm-related, though.


~~~


So, a few months ago I was playing Wurm every day. I was getting right into it, but eventually my premium time ran out and I never got around to refilling it. Obviously, everything I had is likely gone, so I'd have to start again.

I've been thinking about the game quite alot recently and thought I might get back into it. I had a look on the wurm website and saw, to my joy, that a whole bunch of new servers had been added. In my previous playthrough I had settled on a lonely little island in the northeast portion of the independence and realized that this was probably the reason I never renewed my premium.

Glancing at my bookmark toolbar, I saw the Bay 12 link. I had a brilliant idea; wurm seems like the kind of game alot of you would like, so why not ask around and see if a few of you dorfs would be interested in starting our own little village on one of the new servers.

Seems we have alot of interest. If you want to join, please post the name you will be using ingame so that other players can contact you. All the info you'll need is below


~~~Wurm Server info~~~

Serenity server of the epic cluster.

~~~Directions to our settlement~~~

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Using This map, we're at K15, west of pyramid peak.

From spawn look at the token in the center; it has a compass on it. From there, head due south. Keep walking in that direction and try to stay facing south. When you see a lake, move to the left shoreline (where the tall stone walls are) And continue moving south. After you cross a short birch forest, you will again see water. Cross this water until you come to a road with a sign titled "Yorkshire Highway"

At the end of the road is a deed called 'Rakkis Outpost'. When you get to this deed, turn left, and walk along the wall, then turn right to face south again.

Follow the packed ground road until you reach an open hilly area. The deed here is called 'Yorkshire' and has a raised tower with a house at the top named 'Archery tower'. If you see anyone in your local area at this point (the list to the right of your chat window) tell them you're looking for the Bay12 settlement. They'll help you out if they can.

If nobody is able to lead you to us, walk up to the mountain to your north-west (The direction the road is facing when you enter the open area). You'll find a small rocky area with two steps carved into it. Make sure you have full stamina and activate climbing mode (Which is the first option under your event bar) and walk up.

Once at the top, walk due west until, on your right, you see a large guard tower. That's where we are.

PS: If you encounter enemies, keep moving and type 'help' in your local chat window until kingdom guards run to assist you. Don't try to fight, you will only die.

TL;DR: Head south until you find a road and follow it. When you get to yorkshire, head up the mountain to the northwest. Move west from there, and you'll find us.

~~~Rules~~~

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1: You can build anything you want outside the perimeter road, but if you're planning something big, please let us know.
2: When using ore/wood/food, or any item in general, use the lowest quality and smallest stack first. Do not use high quality items if;
2a: Your skill is to low for the item to be put to max use, or
2b: The item you're making doesn't need to be high quality.
3: When wounded, do not use healing items if you have less than a medium wound. Light and very light wounds will heal on their own.
4: Try to keep the area clean and organized and put items where they belong.
5: Only take unnamed horses. AKA: Old horse, Aged horse, etc.
6: Please, don't build personal mines. Use the on-deed mine or the one right next to it.

~~~Contact info~~~

/tell Azated (Or anyone else) <your message>. If nobody is online, ask for us in the server-wide chat; /shout I'm looking for the bay12 group.

[Evil Marahadja]

Sounds cool, if more people join, I am in.

[Exerosp]

I'm in. Always wanted t try it ut.

[Dariush]

Is there any sense (or possiblity, for that matter) in playing for free?

[coolguy1351]

There is. Playing for free is still tons of fun.

[Paul]

I used to play, but I don't really like the game's income model.

Subscription is one thing - I'd gladly pay a subscription to a good mmo. But selling the in-game currency through the shop, and making the economy rely on people buying that currency (since it's the only way to inject more money into the game, which is constantly being removed from money sinks) isn't ideal imo.

I guess it probably works out good for them, since they get a steady inflow of money above and beyond their subscription fees, but I never really liked systems that gave advantages to people willing to spend more real money on a game.

Great! We'd need more than a few people to make it worthwhile.

You can play for free, but only on some of the servers and you're limited to level 20 in the skills you can use, along with not being able to perform some actions.

I know exactly how you feel. However, the economy is very stable despite this (at least i was when I played, before the new servers). The value of the currency is entirely determined by the players who make and sell items to other players using the skills and items they themselves have worked hard to obtain. In fact, the only three hardcoded costs are deeds, rent for those deeds and the option to buy premium time with ingame money.

It's definitely not like some other games where you can start a character, spend a few dollars in the online store and instantly be more powerful than people who play every day.

There is also a limit on how much money you can buy. If you bought as much as possible, you'd hardly have enough to buy a full suit of armor worthy of the name. There's also the fact that having that suit of armor isn't enough to make you uberkiller123, you need the skill to use it effectively.

[Labs]

I'm in. I finally have the time and money I'd be willing to invest in this. I've been playing on and off for around 7 years.

[Exerosp]

Is there supposed to be some kind of way we group up or something?

[Rilder]

I used to play back in the day but graphic card issues on my old computer prevented me from any sort of meaningful play, however since that computer isn't being used anymore I doubt thats an issue.  So I might be willing to check it out again at some point, which server would we play on?

[JamesCorella]

I'll join the DF village.

[Dariush]

Well, I'll join too if you won't mind the fact that I'm a freeloader.

[Exerosp]

So where'd everyone join up? I don't know much about this. But seems like I joined Horde Of The Summoned.

[bQt31]

I want in too! Never succeed to motivate my friends to play wurm, here is my chance to finally try it

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Hey, did they ever get around to making the graphical side of this game not-horrible? or at least add some more animations?
