Posted June 3, 2014 Good evening folks. I'm returning for the Xanadu landrush, but I haven't played Wurm in a while. I want to make sure that I'm ready the moment things open up tomorrow, so I'm making a list and checking it twice. Feedback would be appreciated. -Must Create New Character -Complete Tutorial ASAP (I'm doing it this evening so as not to have to fool around with the new one) -Premium status...must it be purchased now, or can it be purchased tomorrow as well? -Settlement form...as I understand it there's some new settlement stake or something. Is this meant as a replacement for the settlement form? -Since there will be numerous starting points will there be traders at each starting points for tokens to deposit/withdraw funds? Please let me know if I'm forgetting anything. I want to make sure when the switch is flipped I'm ready to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2014 There really isn't anything to prep, Since your going in naked anyway. Nobody knows for sure how the deed stakes will work, But someone said you need money in the bank first. So their must be tokens somewhere. the only real prep work, Is study the map, And try to guess at a useful location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2014 The new tutorial can be skipped. How? I made a toon 2 days ago and was forced to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2014 Once the new tutorial is open, you don't have to run through it. There will be a portal to skip it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Once the new tutorial is open, you don't have to run through it. There will be a portal to skip it. Yeah, I specifically did the tutorial now because my bet is it'll be broken when the new one comes out. Edited June 3, 2014 by Arson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I specifically did the tutorial now because my bet is it'll be broken when the new one comes out. My characters waiting at the gate, and theres a sign to the side that says tutorial and theres a steel gimmer gate A GM's been sitting in a tent by the gate most of the day Edited June 3, 2014 by Holo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2014 Not sure if you were replying just to add that in there, but we all know that just because they've worked on a thing doesn't mean said thing works. You can absolutely count on launch issues tomorrow, whether large or small. If it's like the Pristine launch it'll be issues with porting from the tutorial to the server. Still think it's a good idea to avoid the new tutorial by completing the current one now. There are present registration issues with new characters, tomorrow might be tutorial issues. I'd just avoid all of that if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd just avoid all of that if possible. Exactly the reason I'm skipping launch day and coming over once the servers are connected in a week, less bugs, less dying to random mobs seeing as I've got 63FS. Seems more conducive to real settling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All there is for you to do is read walls of pop up text, you can just walk back the way you came to get back to the gate once you read what you wanted too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new one...who knows? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
