    A lot of veteran players are trying to buy out the land around spawn because it is very valuable. Also, anything on your deed is yours and nobody else's unless you give other people permission to use it. Wurm is not like other games in a sense where everyone has access to the same resources. Once you own land, nobody else can touch it unless you say so. This can discourage new people but all you need to do it walk a bit further from spawn and you should be in the clear. Wurm is very territorial and it depends largely on what you own. If you own a deed and plant a forest in it, nobody can touch the forest except for you.

    Judging by your post and your forum account age, welcome to Wurm. This has never happened to my knowledge in Wurm Online. The GM's will most definitely step in at some point and prohibit said players from blocking off spawn. Players are most definitely allowed to own land outside of any spawn, but they are not allowed to block off passage as far as I know. If you go to any spawn outside of the Northern Islands (which are brand new. Try visiting the Southern Islands), you will see there's a highway system extending in every cardinal direction unless there is water or something impassable blocking a highway. I don't think the WO community has ever been in a situation where players on Freedom Isles servers have blocked spawn from people leaving and I don't think it will ever happen, the game masters would definitely step in before that. Don't worry about people blocking spawn. 

     

    Edit: If you have any questions, please PM me. Glad to help.

    Well it's basically considered a macro. If you are away from your keyboard or not present in the game while doing actions, it's against the rules.  Staff members will PM people sometimes and give them a time-frame in which they need to respond, and if they don't. Well... It won't be a good consequence I'd say.

    What if you have a very socially inept player who has no interest in talking to anybody in the game? Do they get punished for not answering a Staff members private message? I don't think it works that way

     

    Edit: apparently it does work this way, although its relatively uneasy to enforce.

    What Eyesgood said, It's been going on forever. 

     

    It's nice that they're finally fixing this, but the game has been out for a decade. I think theres going to be a pretty large gap between players who have been abusing this system  for so long and players who haven't decided to get into PVP yet (like myself). 

     

    Being such a huge problem this should have been addressed years ago. 

     

    They really have to find a way to level the playing field or people like me will have no interest in heading onto Chaos.

    Just read this,

     

    As someone who actively plays both Wurm and WoW, the cost really adds up. I agree with the price of Premium being lowered slightly. I just think paying close to 10 USD a month is a little too much for an older game like Wurm. (Even WoW is a bit over the top asking for 15 a month)

    Adding on to what Postes said about two months of wurm for ~15 USD. This would make me and others much more inclined to purchase premium due to its reduced cost.

    I had friends that used to play WO and now they play WU because they can't cover the cost of Premium any longer.

    I love Wurm and I'll pay for it either way, but I'll definitely be prem'd up more if the price goes down. Make the game more accessible to everyone by lowering the cost a little bit.

    I'd say if you de-prem, you'd keep the stuff in your bank, but if you took it out, you'd lose the slot. (not be able to put it back in.)

    Yeah basically this. If you lose prem you still keep the items you placed in the bank but if you take them out you can't put any more than five in until you get premium again.

    The current limit for items that you can store in your bank is five.

    I think for premium players at least, this number should be higher, maybe eight, ten or twelve. Call it a premium benefit. I dislike how I can only store five of my most precious items in the bank, and if we were allowed to fit ten I could travel around in peace knowing my most expensive tools are safely in my bank.

    All MMO's should have a third person option (at least in my opinion.) I've yet to play a game where having third person ruined the experience (unless you're playing competitive games like PUBG where third person can give you an advantage.)

     

    The only drawback I could see to this is some people trying to peek over walls (or through them). It just seems like a pvp issue to me. If the devs could somehow prevent this abuse of the camera then I'm all for it.
