So wait, is Freedom open to non-subscribers now?

No. They were discussing it a while back, though.

ts actually possible to walk from the starter town to your town without drowning, but its a fair sort of hike.

Care to make a map like the one I posted, then?
I've got no clue about any walking route, as it was not possible when I went up north.

the game sounds cool, but gosh it's ugly i'd rather play it in ascii. don't they recruit 3d artists?

[alway]

I'm suprised it looks as good as it does. Java isn't exactly a language known for its 3D graphics engines. The only other 3D graphics I can recall done in Java is Runescape; and it isn't exactly a shining beacon of eye candy.

[Ozyton]

I believe Minecraft is in Java...

... but look at it X_X

[Tilla]

I really wish they'd pursue the original idea: using this game as a proof of concept for a non-java, larger dev-team version of the same idea.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i didn't realize it was in java, but i really wouldn't mind if they scrapped graphics entirely and made in in ascii, eh. and runescape looks damn fine.

I think that, by oneself wandering through the thick woods, the game actually looks really good. The trees are really quite good looking actually.

When you get into town, and see other, inanimate people though you realize its crap.

The gameplay is good, the graphical quirks don't bug me.

[Jude]

Looks interesting, although also with the potential to become tiresome.

However I don't think my netbook can handle it, and that's the only computer I have real access to now...plus I can't really afford the time sink that it looks like it requires

Pay-2-awesome, Free-2-suck game?
Meh, why not. It's better than boredom.

Edit Notes: I had to go into the wurm files and delete graphics.jar because the updater was thick as an asphalt milkshake. Not a good start.

Blame the lack of funds and dev team for that, not the graphics engine

And yeah, as for a map? well, its not exactly easy enough to draw everything i'd need on the existing maps, however. From samling, follow the main highway down to freedom market (you can swim around the incompleted bits), then from freedom market take the SE road, that turns south after 100 or so tiles. when you get to the end of that road (there's a cliff infront, it really slowed us down), there's a cave in the cliff near the end, that you can walk through to the other side of the cliff. from there there's a set of roads in the SW corner, follow the right one and it'll take you to your town.

I am. The engine is not the best, but I have been spoiled by the Source engine

Hey guys, I also play this, but I can't visit you on Freedom. I'm too busy being a baller on the wild server, sorry.

The game's OK, I think. It has a lot of very interesting stuff, and if you're into sandboxing and RPGing, you'll get sucked right in. However it suffers from some pretty slow developing (although faster than DFs, at times), a very small playerbase and literally no endgame.

I'm not sure exactly how the experience on GV is, since I've never actually been there (I started before GV was added and I've never made another character), but I think that getting skills to 20 shows a very good demographic of the entirety of wurm. There are some things you miss out on (stone houses, boats, horses, general ease of doing things), but you'll get a good sense of what the game's like. I do however hear that the GV server- and community in itself is rubbish though: That the entire landscape is riddled with garbage and the players are unhelpful etc. Don't really have any comments to that, as I can't verify it.
