Great posts guys, I myself wouldn't have known how to proceed in this fashion, this helps a lot Thank you

Damn I got 4999. On yeah! forgot myself in that equation-5000 it is

Why sure it would, if lets say Minecraft had an original hardcore version, how players would take up the challenge and attempt it. That should answer a lot of questions

You all raised valid points. I've seen the many facets of different types of players. I too, found the learning curve steep even in beta. I tried twice and got frustrated with the blue tile highligher and went back playing Project Entropia. Two weeks later I tried again and stuck it out and became increasingly enamored with Wurm. I tried to convince my player friends to play, no deal, they too couldn't get a grip on it. If there a quicker way of learning this game I would have opted out for that then. Consider, there are hardcore and softcore players. The suggestion of a newbie academy training server in WU for the expressed purpose of playing WO is wise. There will by many instances of disgruntled server players on WU for whatever reason I assure you, and that in itself will create some new players for WO I totally agree with Uberknot, WU will surpass WO and very quickly at that. The downside of WO is there are so many uber players, new players get frustrated in trying to get FS up to even PVP at all. In spite of some of these points I believe both games will do very well.

Not a FAQ, but just a nice change for me to congratulate you. This will work out very well for both Wurms.

Exactly my point Syn, new players will try WU, get excited, play awhile and then start to explore other venues such as this server, for the outline you posted and hopefully stay. The double edged sword here is that when they do come, I think many will leave due to the long grind that they aren't used too.

Personally I think it's awesome, finally Wurm gets exposure it deserves. I don't see any negative in Rolf's decision.

+1 sad this thread did get derailed tho!

Ya I believe its a cop-out too! Kinda like a pizza shop having a grand opening sign up for years

So you liked the old unbalanced system instead?

I'm am not renewing!

I don't like this removal of champs idea but it is the best solution.

Aye- I'm dropping all accounts and towns!

Bah! Heck, Lets do a reset if ya gonna even bother with all these changes!

Hiyas Zerobyte! Actually you won't have any problems with any changes, many are for the better mate. Hope to see you ingame

No way! I'm the official newb sacrifice this year- baaa!! baaa!!

wow! Nice Wossoo! Makes me wanna read them now Looks like this is in good hands.

Yes indeed, seems to be getting common now

awesome thread- had to change my mind 3 times on this one My last thought is indeed the forums are an extension of the game and being an extension clearly it seems if one does harm here- well cut off its arms, not the head. So I would be against in-game banning for 4arms infractions

nice to see you back in mate!

You see its all in perspective- are you looking for new blood to join, or trying to keep players from rage quitting. I do without an reservation think this game is still the ultimate gaming experience there is and congratulate Rolf and his team for such a feat, on the positive note, truly an award winning job! The negative downside is that I feel they are greatly understaff in GM's and coders. There are way too many loose ends left too do yet, icons, bugs, graphic overloads, etc. Wish they would be addressed before progressing further with new servers and such. But I do know this does take a huge amount of time and funds and I do hope Rolf does listen to veterans when it comes to these details. An example and just one is: for a fact I was killed in attack while pulling a cart that was supposed to be undragged, this is not good news, lol. These are the things that infuriate peeps according to the this thread and the lack of response in getting instances cleared up.

Aye, and this is the problem that the community of veteran players often are blind to. They are used to Wurm being "hard" and are so used to it that any suggested change is often viewed as an affront to the game. That's why I think just like you Scribbles on this one, the most valuable information for Rolf is the one coming from new players that are trying out the game for the first time, not veteran , adapted players that have played since beta 1. LOl Mal, I didnt think Rolf listened to veterans when they were newbs anyway did he? Hmm!

Thats ok Madt - I didnt know hwere to go either- nothing like vagueness heh heh

Holeys thats a lot of spindles Xallo

Hahhaha good one! Well worth the crash
