Dunno if this calls for it's own thread in this sub-forum to be honest, but it is vaguely Wurm-related. Mods please move it if you feel it's not warranted.

So after spent about an hour on the Test server (and first time in the game for over a year) to test out the new 'Wurm 1.0' features, I recognised this name identical to the old Wurm developer that logged in to my local at the starting area... Interested, I went and followed him around a bit.

(note that I crashed a few times while taking screenshots)

Spoiler

Yes, he accepted my duelling proposal. He put up a bit of a fight, using bandages and all.





Tastes like sudden-internet-famous person

I don't know if anyone can log in under any name on the test server or if existing account names are spoken for...
All I can say is that he acted more or less as I would have expected him to, asking about the new features and some coding specifics (also note me talking to him in Swedish and him answering in English). He had just logged off the server before I left about an hour ago. Imposter or not? You decide.

Impostor. Anyone can log in as any name on test so long as that account has been inactive for long enough and therefore has been deleted from the test server.

[Wossoo]

He would probably use an unknown alias anyways

[thenewcndo]

I do not see why he wouldn't check it out, considering the jump wurm is taking.

I say, Plausible.

I bet he has been playing Wurm all along and you know it! Perhaps you even know who is is. He is just hiding among the crowds somewhere...

are you guys for real lol

i mean you look up notch and you'll find it linked to Wurm Online pretty quick, and Rolf is friends with him still. he probably knows about wurm 1.0, i don't see why it couldn't be him.


and wtf mattown, know who also is swedish.. rolf, do you see him speaking swedish here

[Gianna]

He speaks perfect English... he used to get on random popular Minecraft servers and talk to people and interact with them. Do you guys think he believes he is too good for peons like us?

Nah, I think he just realized that if he shows his face thousands of minecraft fanboys will swarm the forum. I understand actually.

[Postes]

he was in #wurm irc a few months ago and posted about it on his twitter, its not that rare

[GreenHero]

Not likely but plausible.

[Enki]

An imposter by any other name bans just the same.

I am Notch. er. Sparticus. er. MacGregor.

[Sir Arowhun]

Fine, you know what? I don't care anymore.

Everybody, I'm notch.

Lets danec again

Just Kidding

[Klaa]

The ways of Notch are mysterious and silly.

LOL, are you for real?

Do you think us swedes incapable of learning other languages than Swedish?

Well darn it, if so. No 'Notchslayer' for me.

The reason I think it fits is that I imagine he'd be making a habit of speaking English in public - especially in video game related situations. His fans are all over the world after all.

I am Frodo Sagbag.

Thats what he wants you to think.
