Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) Welcome to The Tinder Log!Here, I will be posting about my adventures in Wurm. I'm a long term player, however after taking a break, I'm back and excited to get back into it, with a new goal in mind.Many times in the past, I've told newbies and others that Wurm Online can be played for free. I'm going to put that to the test. I shall be starting out on a new account, Tinderlog, and wont be spending any euros on Wurm, at least until after buying my first month of premium. Then I'll support the game as I have always done. One could argue that simply playing and participating in the economy helps support the game due to the real life economy, but that's a different topic for a different day. I wont be taking donations from old friends or making use of contacts I already have in the game. I want to get out there and meet new people while also not giving myself an 'unfair advantage' over a complete newbie. I also wont just be spamming bricks/mortar etc. Yes, that may be the fastest way...but it's also boring and frustrating on a new character. Instead, I shall be exploring different options with the primary focus being on having fun and meeting people. That's what Wurm is all about, right? See you in Wurm! Day 1Tinderlog is born! First task shall be collecting some cotton to make a fishing rod. Easiest way to collect meat, without having to rely on tower guards. Will also get some healing cover materials, just in case I run into some trouble. Let's hope for some lucky coins! After a few minutes of foraging for cotton, I get lucky and find a rare coin! Time to make a fishing rod and continue on my way. After failing to create a spindle 13 times in a row (38% creation chance), I finally managed to get my fishing rod finished and caught some dinner.

Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Day 2The second day has come and gone. Without much time to play, I didn't make much progress other than finding a place to live. After some exploration of the area and meeting the local inhabitants, I've decided it is too dangerous to live there as a newbie without any gear. Time to try a different tactic. I said in my previous post that I was going to try and meet some new people. What better way than by joining a village? That shall be my next goal.

Posted May 25, 2015 Day 3The search for a place to stay didn't take long at all. After posting in Freedom chat that I was looking for somewhere, I had multiple offers within 2 minutes. After taking a look at the offers, I decided to become a villager at Fraeya's deed, Black Forest Nemeton on Xanadu. She gave me a great tour of the deed and it is certainly a lot safer than going it alone out in the wild! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
