Games / Wurm Unlimited available for as low as $1 in Humble Bundle
« on: October 16, 2017, 02:32:45 PM »
Hey guys, Wurm Unlimited is in the humble bundle. As of this post, there are about 8 days left to grab it (as well as Borderlands and Van Helsing) for a dollar. https://www.humblebundle.com/
If you don't know, Wurm Ultimate is the standalone edition of the MMO in which players are in control of server hosting and settings. It's a realistic survival and exploration game released in 2003 in which you can... quite literally do whatever you want in a player-driven persistent world. A lot of newer players will say this game is like Minecraft meets Runescape, but this game is more difficult and time-consuming than either of those. Notch and his partner were the ones to originally create Wurm Online, though!
Oh, you can play the MMO (Wurm Online) for free on the official servers, but all skills are capped at 20 and require a paid subscription to raise. There are no skill limits, restrictions, premium currency, or cash shops in Wurm Unlimited.
Let me get one thing straight with you: if you don't like grinding hard to make something amazing, skip this game. It can take up to 3 hours to cut down and chop up a tree. This is a very slow-paced and relaxing RPG. However, if you're willing to put in the effort and build a town with your friends, the return value for your effort is incredible. When getting started, be sure to set aside several hours to get prepared. This, unfortunately, isn't a game where you can build a simple starter home in the first three minutes. You have to do EVERYTHING from scratch in this game, but that's okay because the crafting system is absolutely badass.
Anyway, I just thought I'd spread the word. This game is incredible if you're into these kinds of games, even if the graphics are really outdated. If there's anyone on this forum who plays, we should join/start a server and build a kingdom. :)

EDIT: A Wurm Online subscription typically costs 8 euro a month. Instead, pay $1 and get the full unrestricted "offline edition" of the game with unofficial/modded servers! You're sacrificing progress security for no monthly payments and custom servers, but if you find a popular longer-lasting server (like Mythmoor), you'll be okay. It is worth noting that there is decay (thanks Ayxrion) so you'll have to drop by occasionally. Most servers I have seen have the starter tents decay after three (real time) weeks, which is PLENTY of time to get a house built.
