  1. Hello, Are any of these deeds still available? Thanks.
  2. Again, thanks to everyone for their advice and suggestions. I was very tempted to go the Academy route (which I 'm sure would've been the wisest decision), but I chose to strike out on my own on Release. There's just not many games out there now a days that offer the kind of extreme challenge Wurm seems to offer. I enjoy a good challenge, so thought I'd jump straight into the wilds and give it a go. I think EvE Online has been the only other game that I've played that offered this type of challenge. In my couple days on Release, I found a nice spot on the shore of a decent sized lake to drop my token. I have shoreline, lots of trees, and a start of a mine with an iron vein. I've been able to figure out how to fish, and have made a mine door for my mine as well. In doing just the basics to get that far, I'm really starting to see the huge scope that is required to create any sort of settlement in Wurm. No doubt it's a huge project, but I'm looking forward to it! -NB
  3. Thanks for the great replies! I hadn't heard of Wurm Academy before. Is this a completely player run establishment, rather than something offered by the GMs? What does the Academy offer in regards to training that sets themselves apart from other newbie-centric villages? -NB
  4. Hi all - I'm new to Wurm. I've been reading through as many tutorials, guides, forum posts, and wikis as I can to try to determine what server I want to begin on. PvP servers are out - it's not my playstyle. I'm also the type of player that wants to try out all aspects of a game, which is why I'm leaning towards "going it alone" and starting up my own little home rather than joining an existing village. As I read things, this may be very challenging, but I love a good challenge. My question is really on which server, Indy or Release, would be the better one to start? I read that Indy is 4x the size of Release, but has been around a long time. Does that mean it looks like a frat house the day after a party, with abandoned deeds, half developed, all over? Are there any good spots available for a new player? Are resources like trees and mine veins pretty much wiped out? The plus side of Indy appears to be the extensive roadwork, as I've seen on some maps I've looked at. The flip side is Release. The map looks challenging for a new player to get far from SS. Any insights on the amount of good areas for a new deed and the ability to reach them? I'm not looking for a huge amount of land to settle - just enough to experience dropping a deed, then building a home, mining, farming, etc. Thanks in advance for any insights you might have, -NB
