Companies like Apple are established major brands. They can afford to cast a wider net as more users on thier software/handware means higher stock market value. (Major companies do not need to make a profit in the short term, they recoup costs elsewhere. Aplle can for instance make money off taxing thier built in store). I think youve oversimplified something to fit your point there. Wurm is not a major brand and it has limited appeal to the wider market being a niche game.

Not sure how updating WU would be financially viable/worthwhile. At the end of the day the world revolves around money and improving WU has the potential to cause monetary losses long term for "Wurm Online". From a business prespective, right now Wurm online needs investment if its to survive. Updating WU would simply be a act of self sabotage for a small possible (i say possible as many have pointed out not all WU would even find an update appealing considering Mods ect) financial bump. It would also take away resources from Wurm Online which would likely just trigger long term players/whales. While i can completely understand why some WU players would crave it.. content is lacking on WO as it is and thats where the money is made. Only reason i can see to update WU would be if your taking down WO for good and want to squeeze the last bit of cash out of the Wurm franchise + maybe gain some goodwill.

I have 95 chainsmithing and most of my tools imbued, it does not take 5 minutes xP Most old pve'rs have played pvp in the past so i can assure you they are not more experienced. You just havent talked to the right players.

I think most of us crave this

Same as last year probably xP Or just coal

Honestly consistant regular updates and articles would do a world of good. I just get the feeling the silence is about trying not to commit to anything at this point. Which in my opinion does more damage than the alternative. Open and clear customer engagment is key to a successful business. While theres no pleasing everyone, especially in this day an age. The lack of consistancy does the wurm team no favors. At this point ive no idea what the dev team are working on (theres a whole section for 'works in progress' that hasnt been touched apon for atleast a year) at this stage projects such as Goblin camps seem like a bigger undertaking with huge room for error and possible redicule, with little benefit to those who do play Wurm currently. Whilst things like new decor, build objects and generally more stuff to build/craft for already established skill is only going to be beneficial and not at all rock the boat/change the established Meta (unless its combat effecting gear of course). I just hope the chase for new attractive eye catching features to draw in crowds doesnt backfire and sink the ship. Anyways like many others i love wurm and only hope for its sucess.

Thats the future of teraforming right there xD

@KorppiSaw yours whilst sailing by recently, impressive work

The lack of information and paragraphing burns my eyes. But on a serious note, I know both parties hosting the two impalongs planned around christmas, theyve put in a massive amount of work for months organising both events, personally i think its bad form to suddenly try to host one yourself over the top of both. From your post it sounds like you've not prepared at all and this is a spur of the moment idea youve had, youve failed to even mention where said impalong will be.

Honestly i still think if there was one pvp server accessible from all clusters and there was some sort of obtainable reward you could bring back to pve (would need to be rewards, unlike kingdom banners ect, prehaps some sort of contribution points spendable like rift points) people would be far more inclined to play pvp. Dont get me wrong it would not lead to a huge increase (pvp is quite a different beast to pve) and many of wurms pve characters enjoy a chilled laidback playstyle so it would likely still not appeal to them. But nonetheless it would make pvp far more accessible and appealing. Currently i see no real reason anyone would want to play on the pvp servers besides to poke each other with pointy sticks

Looking forward to seeing everyone + healthy bump

Couldnt agree more, i for one would really just love some new stuff to build around the deed, whole new avenues for projects. Dont get me wrong ive got enough projects as it is but damn some new features for deeds would do a world of difference. Ive got nothing against skins but we need solid additional content as well. Ideally based around the skills avalible rather than new ones.
