Okay, 2 days have passed, still cannot use the char name. At least I was hoping support staff monitors this forum. I understand this is not a game-breaking issue but it's a deal-breaking one for me. Guess it's a hard pass then.

I can wait 2 days no problem, hopefully they will sort out the lag issue by then. But the only thing that got me worried now is lack of official info on this issue, 2 days is an educated guess, I believe? Absence of any support ticket system in place makes me think I will have to relay on such educated guesses in the future, which is... unreliable.

I am in the same boat now, having been told to register in huge bold letters - I naturally supposed that was the right thing to do. Since there is no Support section on the website where you could possibly try and reach... well, the support team (if there is any), I would like to know what actually gets removed and in which timeframe - character, character name, in 2 days or in 90 days (I saw that number popping up in Discord yesterday as well.) Official clarification would be nice to have.

Again, thanks for the outlook, now I think I have made my mind, will see some of you in the new lands!

First of all, thanks for many replies, welcoming words and useful information. Passionate community must truly love this game and this is inspiring. Indeed, I am looking forward joining the game and Steam WO launch seems like perfect opportunity. New server PROS: Everyone starts from scratch (not necessarily with same amount of game knowledge though) Excitement at the prospect of discovering new lands! Some Wurm veteran players are going to join this server too, so newbies like me can possibly ask for help or advice in dire situations New server CONS: Can possibly fail to attract enough people resulting in a non-existent community Your character is bound to this server for foreseeable future, as your Premium/paid items Old server PROS: Healthy community, many options to join a village etc (important for me) Interconnected servers, roam as you wish Old server CONS: I still prefer to start on equal footing with other players (am I being picky here?) If I create a character now, I won't be able to access it via Steam client later on (did you ever wonder what "cross-platform" truly means?) I wonder if there's even more to OLD vs NEW servers but my lack of actual game experience makes comparison this short. P.S. "Too many words, play the game already!" I know, I know. If it works out I plan to stay for a very long time, so I try to pick carefully. Personally, I wish Steam WO a huge success, the amount of love put into creating this deserves no less.

Hello Wurm community! This is my first post here and I am one of the players attracted by the "Steam WO" release figuring out what to do and how to get the best possible experience in case I enjoy my stay. What has been my previous MMO experience is probably best left for other parts of the forum. Here I would like to share my thoughts and impressions as someone who has put some time into reading about this game, watching some videos and following several discussions here. I see Steam WO as a chance to start fresh on equal footing with other players. What bothers me most about joining new server instead of trying to assimilate into the "old" community is this: if Steam WO is not a success then what? Will the new servers just die out with Steam-created characters unable to move to the old world? Community is important (to me at least) and I can see Steam WO community as a very different beast (however tiny it might be) to the old-timey crowd. Choices, choices.
