Wurm is a great game that requires a lot to survive in the harsh environment, but as soon as you get even a little piece of your own land there is no more threat of any sort. I get it - veterans want to keep watching this goddamn timer 24/7 without worrying about anything, but what about new players?
Back in time when Ive started playing Wurm I had this feeling that the game itself requires unbelievably much to survive. Everything was cool till the moment I realized that as soon as you build yourself a 2x2 house you are pretty much out of things to worry about. New players get bored because of the way Wurm is meant to be played. As soon as you manage to build yourself a shack the game turns into watching the action timer simulator.
New players can simply get an early game buff - something like a cold protection or whatever. You get the idea. Saying that " in 7D2D temperature was killing players " is such an idiotic argument.
Wurm needs something more than never ending grind. Otherwise the community will stay on a level of 500 people during the most crowded day.
