I haven't looked at WURM in years and was surprised it was still available. Congratulations! Then I tried to play the game. Here are the stumbling blocks I encountered: - I have to download the right version of Java? I make my living coding Java, but for a game, all I want is a download button and a login screen. I don't care if it is Java or not. Please stop using JNLP and provide a simple launcher like so many other games do. The current launcher is very technical and already a distraction and source of confusion. Also, I unknowingly downloaded the 32-bit JRE and even after installing the 64-bit one, I got this warning message about a wrong Java version. You probably don't know how many potential players you have lost at this point. - This ain't on Steam? Something to consider if you have the resources and server bandwidth to welcome many new players. - I have to create an account on the web page? Why can't I do it right there in the launcher? The launcher has all kinds of buttons, but creating an account isn't one of them. I think. - I have a 1024x768 window initially? Ok, I was able to fix that, but why do I have to? Who wants to play this in a 1024x768 window nowadays? Provide decent default settings. - Finally in the game, I learned that I need to move the view with the left mouse button. Not the best choice for your typical WoW player. I tried to change it: I couldn't. Or at least there wasn't an option I could find. - I can't change mouse sensitivity? Changing the camera view with the mouse is accelerated somehow. I was unable to find any setting that would help that. Now we are getting close to a point where the game becomes unplayable. - I can't jump? And that is probably the reason I won't play this along with the lack of mouse control. You can change the terrain, build stuff, but you can't jump? Maybe you can, but I couldn't find a button for it? Please keep in mind, this is the newbie user experience I'm describing here. If I would invest more time in it, I could probably find solutions for these. I guess? But there are soo many games out there. Please consider having at very least: - An easy installation and initial launch experience (people don't care if it is Java or not. Bundle it or compile it down to an exe) - Decent default settings and more mouse-related settings. I understand that adding a jumping mechanism adds significant complexity, but open world means freedom of movement to me. I like the climbing mechanism, but if a simple 4 foot high chain can block my movement, it feels off Thanks and good luck with Wurm!
