Don't do it, Drid! You've already sold him and bought him back once...

I met a player of an antique game Who said: Twelve vast and empty servers Sit on the network. Near them, much the same, Defunct, a forgotten forum lies, whose murmurs Of dissent and derisive sneers Tell that its members truly read the signs Of coming doom and voiced their fears In mocking protests and futile whines. And on the splash screen appear these words: 'My name is Wurmonlinias, god of games: Log on to my network, ye Many, and have fun!' Nothing else remains. The endless roads, The houses and gardens, boats with amusing names - Have decayed and crumbled every one.

Otherlands - going strong since February 2016.

Oh, if only that were true... (Sobs at wasted life.)

I know absolutely nothing about this development apart from what I read here, but I'll post something pompous anyway. As an expert in business, gaming, IT and the universe in general, I can see important clues which may have escaped some of you not-quite-so-intelligent people. Game Chest Group is a Swedish company. This is significant. Sweden is also the home of legendary 70s pop group ABBA. With all the money they made from hits like "Dancing Queen", they would be well placed to take Wurm to the next level. Game Chest Group is an anagram of Got Cheaper Mugs. Could this be a hint about the new owners' marketing strategy? On the other hand, Game Chest is an anagram of Gem Cheats. Uh-oh. Game Chest Group's initials GCG are also the initials of the Global Church of God. Has Wurm been bought by some sinister religious cult? They are also the initials of the Grilled Cheese Grill. This may be significant, but I haven't thought of a reason why yet. So there you have it. This development could indeed be a great opportunity for Wurm. On the other hand, it could be a disaster. Or it could make no difference at all. Remember, you read it here first.

Not sure if this is what you want, but here are some stats from Bdew:

OK, it's a bit crap, but here's a dull, jerky video of my deed on Celebration (with background music).

Apologies, didn't read the OP carefully enough! As it stands, it's a useful tool.

It seems to be one day out from then onwards until 17 April 2014: Logging started 2014-04-16 [21:23:43] It is 06:13:23 on day of the Wurm in week 3 of the Raven's starfall in the year of 1039. WurmDate Tool says 17 April Logging started 2014-04-17 [14:24:15] It is 21:09:41 on day of the Ant in week 4 of the Raven's starfall in the year of 1039. WurmDate Tool correctly says 17 April

I entered Tears 2 Snake 1039 and Awakening 2 Snake 1039 and got 6 April 2014 in both cases. My event log says: Logging started 2014-04-05 ... [17:30:03] It is 17:46:45 on day of Tears in week 2 of the Snake's starfall in the year of 1039. ... [22:03:37] It is 04:46:17 on day of Awakening in week 2 of the Snake's starfall in the year of 1039. A day earlier? (That's GMT+1, by the way.)

Easter Day dragon hunt. Or did I imagine it?

Same mistake in The sounds of bees decreases as you move further away from the hive.

Also The sounds of bees disappears in the distance should be either sound or disappear.

Well, I did wonder if that might be so. Still, they could have written back to say "Sorry, we can't help" or "Try complaining to Steam". However, I suspect that servers with other offensive names - say, antisemitic or racist ones - would vanish fairly quickly.

Is "Fags" an acceptable name for a WU server? In Britain it can mean cigarettes, but there is another, offensive meaning, of course. Before this server appeared, there was one (the same one?) called Fags Only. I messaged Wurm staff twice about this, but have never had a reply.

In 2011 it was in their 100 best PC games of all time (as number 56): https://www.pcgamer.com/the-100-best-pc-games-of-all-time/5/.

Bump for camels.

Have you tried a lower border weight?

Here's a thread of people worrying about the death of Wurm: It's from August 2008 - ten years ago.

On Chaos, leaving the safety of the deed to help a newbie in distress. I agreed to take him some cotton and food. He even said, "You won't kill me, will you?" I did vaguely wonder why I could hear the sounds of tower guards dying. Of course, it wasn't a newbie in distress. It was Rolandt, using an account I didn't recognize. He was quite nice about it. Left my keys behind after he had looted my corpse.

I don't think so. According to Professor Bdew, sandstone and rocksalt veins are autogenerated by the server. There's no need to include them in your map. He says it takes around a day after you first load the map for them to spawn everywhere, replacing rock tiles. For orange trees, etc. players could botanize for saplings and plant them manually. On Bdew's servers he seeded them on the maps with a script.

He's far too expensive.

I keep trying to quit Wurm for good, but it isn't easy. The latest obstacle is this cluster, which provides a faster game with fewer restrictions. There are three nice maps (one HotS) and some interesting mods. While I just roam around pointlessly as always, I hear that people who aren't hermits do stuff together, like kill dragons.

If you need a horse, try northwest Otherland.
