  4. We have few herbal tea in Wurm, but we dont have linden flower tea. Why?
  5. New deed - Soma https://exodus.yaga.host/#1833,515 Deed Crone's Alogical is gone. https://exodus.yaga.host/#1827,496
  6. @tronnlet us know did you make it. All want to be jealous.
  7. Instead of arguing and scratching old grievances, wouldn't it be better to go over it and try to speed up the machine? Madnath, if u dont want MEN on webpage, I wish to see it there, still. Because: That's why streams, permanent and new channels would attract me to the site. Sure, if someone streams grinding of HFC, it can be boring. It is boring for watching. But if she/he does as tutorial, or she/he is doing it for a while, or talks with viewers about what he's doing, and then continues the adventure leading viewers into the world of Wurm? Recently I watched 2 streams that were watched by people not familiar with Wurm. In @Gerbold transmission, only me and one other person knew the Wurm. The rest of the viewers are former Gerbold's friends from other games. I don't know if they entered into Wurm or not after, but if this stream wasnt happend, they wouldn't know about Wurm. All this new branding seems to be interlude to some bigger plan, not just a new plastic logo, new website with fake pictures and notes, and another glorious report for investors? I'd really like to know this plan of new branding.
  8. I see so much emotions here in players who spent many years in Wurm. Any changes may bring fear, angry if we dont know what change bring and what intentions hide behind 2 worlds - customers and company collide without understanding each other. But, both sides want the Wurm to grow, right? 2 difrent intentions - love and profit. As somebody said b4, if CEO would come to us and talk honestly, w/o comercial b***t, that topic could keep totaly diferent energy. If we dont have clear vision of Wurm in tomorrow, what company has, we only get marketing tricks, that arouses mistrust about our tomorrow in Wurm. Btw webpage, I wish to see Madnath's MEN project on webpage too. That thing could press me visit page more often than 1 per year.
  9. Agreed. I played in Wurm few years in low graphic sets, many times even w/o pretty trees. For the last 1-2 years can play in full graph sets, even with few toons same time, and you know, what? I still dont use it usually. Maybe when I travel or streaming. So, would b nicer like in Unreal 5, but is that would bring lot of new players? Question: why Minecraft is so popular and Wurm not (made same person)? Is about graphics? No. Is about world looks like toys? I dont thinks so. So many games are popular and is not about graphics, Like Tibia, Terraria and others. Is it a matter of marketing? And other question, what is plan? I mean - new logo, new page, new shop, what next? What is plan to brind new players (more money)? That is question to CEO ofc.
  10. I see clear message - suite, steam success, huge office with empty chairs and nice view behind window, removed old staff with sweet thanks. Clear message is: you, me and everybody on this forum is ONLY consumer, not Wurmian (whats that mean?). Clear message is video is made for Swedish investors, not for us. Spend 35s for trader as memorial, 20s for new gnomes. Have fun. Bright future is coming. Is enough being clear about things? Or should we talk about fake pictures on webage, ugly logo, fire fonts?
  11. It wasnt about nfi vs sfi, was about my suprising that 4 servers NFI make money from steam. Never used steam fro play in wurm, so was my suprising. Now I know steam is conneted with SFI. Just it. Steam was mentioned in report as big sucess (850k euros in 3 years) as interlude to another innovations, still what we talk about here - new branding and monetization.
  12. Can you spawn to SFI from steam? Never tried, but NFI was created for players from steam, right?
  13. Wow, so that means, 3 (4) NFI servers make 25k E per month?
  14. In report they said (translated, swedish original): "We are pleased to announce that the total sales of Wurm Online via Steam have now reached SEK 10,000,000 since its launch on the marketplace, July 2020. This significant milestone demonstrates the success of the game and the continued strength of the brand. The exposure in Steam has increased sales and reached more paying players and it is because of this that we are starting an expansive phase to reach a wider audience by offering the game through more marketplaces. More information to come." I dont want to count, but... 10mln SEK is around 85000 euro in 3 years, 2,3-2,4k per month. If game makes 2,5k euro per month, that doesnt sounds big deal. I don't mean the exact amounts, more substantial is between words "we are starting an expansive phase to reach a wider audience by offering the game through more marketplaces." Discrepancy between the image of the CEO sitting in an armchair in the management office of a skyscraper with a view of the city skyline, which is probably supposed to give the impression of a large, rich company (apart from the emptiness in the background, as if the chairs and everything else are props), the impression competence in what he/they do, making great visions. Including all this new branding that looks like it was done in one day. A company that sells junk apps, and among them all, Wurm, like a gem in mud. This is really not optimistic from the player's point of view, and even from the investor's point of view. It looks like a show not like a project. If this video is marketing, I don't trust it.
  15. As far as we've ever seen him here
  16. What would make me want to visit the website regularly? Among others: *Content as Wurmnode and Niarja had (harvest seasons, slays, deed info, rites, upcoming rifts, holy sites, goblin's camps etc) *Best of last shortcuts of streams and screenshots ingame *Current community maps (yaga's, Albia Inde etc), in general, the option that wurmnode currently has, i.e. the ability to co-create maps *Announcements about events, both: big (impalongs, holidays) and small (current hunts, secret hunts, challenges), I miss competitive games, tournaments, also seasonal games like Jackal (other moons optional)
  17. My favorite post in this topic. Especialy "I don't really care about anything". Should be new motto of new webpage? And small * with link to bottom page with small small font "except your money".
  18. As someone said before, just make a thematic competition among current players - blacksmithing, farming, fighting, woodcutting, masonry etc, whatever is needed. That could make b4 start new webpage. We had a time. Still have. Also, the game media subpage - I always look for images and videos on game pages from the game itself, taken by players. That say me more than marketing on webpage. Shop in game, that is good idea in all of this. I wish same trade (WTS, WTB, auctions) between players. About new logo - is a part of new branding, so I believe will be hard to convince author of idea that he is wrong.
  19. Commitment to open new store by the end of June - plan done. Webpage looks like swiss cheese? Nevermind, will be fixed later. Most important is shop. Dont forget army of volonteers. Company will collect money, volonteers will get thanks for years of service. Like Keenan. And many others. Did you work for free for previous owner of Wurm? Dont worry. They "looking for volunteers to run our social media as well as for content creators".
  20. I wanted to speak up, but I couldn't keep up with the previous posts, so I have to stop reading to say something Whoever made this material doesn't know the game and has no idea what makes people play it, every day, thousands and tens of thousands of hours. Why are you in Wurm 5, 10, 15 years? Why do you love this game? Logo is totally ugly and doesn't say anything. Someone who paid for this material can't admit that it's ######, because he would have to admit that he can't evaluate the qualities of Wurm Online and also doesn't understand what makes people spend years on this game. And if he doesn't understand that, how is he going to get new players to love the game? Has steam history taught you nothing? Sometimes I read reviews on steam for fun (which was also supposed to be a big step forward). I have long believed that Wurm is a niche game for several reasons: 1. It's too hard (if you want marketing, learn from Notch) - create difficulty levels, what we have now is classic, hardcore, for newbies - easy. 2. Lousy tutorial 3. Poor graphics and animations. Someone has an idea to make money on Wurm. I don't blame him. If this was my game, I'd like it to make money too. However, I see a fundamental error here (the all-talking coin avatar of Krister). Choosing a new director comes with expectations. You have to prove yourself. Correct me if I'm wrong - all previous Wurm designers and managers knew and understood Wurm because they were inside. This time I read the words, but they sound empty - passion, commitment, community, new brand etc. Has anyone met Kirsten in Wurm, any server, even NFI? Where is his deed? Maybe I missed some event? These are not rhetorical questions. I really would like to know. Bottom line - I think this video was aimed at investors. If I had seen the clip without knowing Wurm, I would never have entered the game. Like hundreds of other ads that I skip.
