There's really no reason to play the free-to-play version of Wurm for any reason other than as a demo. Tiny island plus VERY rough game plus everything fun being disallowed and/or unavailable due to the skill cap? Yeah, forget it.

If you feel like paying, though, go ahead and free-to-play to try the game out. You'll probably spend a month just getting to skill 20, depending on how often you play and how long it takes you to join a city. Course you'll probably realize that the rewards are inconsequential because the combat sucks, but if you find it fun, you find it fun. Maybe everyone else finds building virtual houses to be more fun than I do. I mean, just look at Second Life.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

There's an emulator out there if anyone's interested: wurmemu.com

Never played on it, so I have no idea how good it is.

I played this game back during its beta and a bit after release. They handled some things very poorly back then which turned me off.

It takes way too much time to do anything useful in this game though. It's a massive grindfest, and you cannot do it casually due to the skill decay (unless they tweaked that - back when I played I left for 3 weeks on a vacation and came back to my skills missing a few month's worth of points and just said screw that and quit).

Skills only decay over 70.
If you're going very far over 70, you're not playing casually anyway.

Well im someones in GV ( the starting nub server ) gimme holler and i will give you some tools to get you going.
And if someones in Wild let me know so i can get out of the horrible GV

EDIT: I bought 2months prem time and moved to wild. Been looking place to put up fairly safe spot with all necessary materials nearby.
I got no pictures to show cos its rather hard work alone but i will put some when i get my Dwarfy looking entrance done ;)
Expect big halls in mines with interior ofcourse.
Im planning the site that it is easy to expand and make it village if need.Did i mention it has sea acces too.
10€ aint too costly for 2 months and for my surprize they lowered/lowering some timers :D Mining is piece of cake now.

In game name is Laalaa in JenKellons
