Posted June 6, 2016 Hi everyone! It's been quite the fascinating journey over this decade. From a developer standpoint I've seen most of which can be expected from an early access, rapid development project like this - bugs and crashes, hacking, exploits, outrage. All of which I thought we'd be able to avoid when we began the project and for which I would humbly like to ask forgiveness. But I've also seen the stuff that I was hoping for and sometimes not expecting - villages forming and flourishing, sometimes dying and leaving ruins behind for others to explore and finding useful loot. Kingdoms clashing and waging epic war along front lines. Players riding dragons turning into terrible opponents. Religious pagan devotion, meticulous gardening and settlement planning and improbable animal breeding. We've had fantastic community projects and events such as the canals, roads, bridges, impalongs and treasure hunts. Now there are Rifts and cave dwellings added to that list which I think makes good sense. I think that together as both coders and players we've managed to create a pretty fantastic world which has that sense of being alive with a rich history that we once set up a goal to achieve. I'm very thankful and happy for all that you've done in the lands of Wurm up until now, creating all sorts of memories and stories with your actions. It's difficult in a game like this to find the balance between giving every player the space desired while not letting the game feel desolate and empty. Rifts will help with that in a sense, bringing players together and one of the challenges for the future will be to come up with tweaks to existing code and similar features I think. Thanks everyone for playing Wurm and to everyone on the team - both those who left and are still around - I bow down to you in respect. Here's to the next ten years! Cheers! 87 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2016 Cheers, Rolf! I started playing this game just over 8 years ago according to my /playtime, and although I take extended breaks this is the ONLY game that keeps dragging me back. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2016 I couldn't agree more. Wurm provides such a unique atmosphere, no game compares to it in my opinion. To another 10! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2016 There's nothing out there like Wurm. I've tried a couple of other Sandboxes. Some of them, I don't even make it an hour before it's uninstalled. Wurm is starting year 11 and I am starting year 4. Here's to my year 10 in Wurm. May it happen! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2016 Happy Birthday Wurm!! So much thanks to Rolf and the team for this unique and special thing we call wurm - I've loved it for the last 7 or 8 years that I've played and looking forward to the next decade! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2016 My son introduced me to Wurm (my first ever MMO besides Bridge online) 2 and a half years ago, when I retired. He has tried to get me interested in other games, but to no avail. I am a total Wurm addict and love it - mostly, when not annoyed or frustrated with tiny things. I am so grateful to you all for a wonderful, harmless, interactive hobby, where I get to chat to people all over the world, while being creative and helpful when I can. All strength to you, Rolf and your team - and the players - to continue for the next decade bringing so much pleasure to so many. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2016 First played almost 4 years ago now, was hooked from the very start. Can't believe Wurm's been here for 10 years now, it's gone by so quickly. Here's to another 10 years and hopefully even more than that! Thanks for the good times and all the good memories in the game, Rolf, you've done a fantastic job! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
