Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) A year+ in development from initial conception to final product, we are a former Minecraft community that swapped games in early 2017. We played on other servers, got a firm understanding of what everything was about and then took the plunge into setting this server up. We've been around in the gaming community since 2004 when we played games like World of Warcraft, SWTOR, Aion, Wildstar, Rift, etc. The same group has remained mostly intact over the years and that enduring close knit community is now being opened up with our new server in our hopes to bring you the very best experience possible. We've done everything from hardcore raiding to building amazing things with square blocks and everything in between over that 14 year history together and so we're excited to start our adventure into Wurm as a group and see what all we can come up with in this game. You will find fair rules, fair staff, and a fair amount of zanny fun to be had with us. We are *NOT* a pg-13 type of environment. We won't scold you for saying something naughty -- we'll probably join right in and push the limits of "acceptable". We're not slapping your hands or holding them either. Our map is beautiful, but treacherous and not ideal for players new to the game. If you're looking for flat pastures to build on, nope! Won't find much of that here. Flat is boring. We have mountains. Lots and lots of mountains. You'll need a love for digging! and surface mining! in order to be happy on our map but you'll also find a ton of quality of life changes to balance that. The days of iron ore every 10 tiles - gone! Ore distribution has been heavily altered to provide a challenge at the beginning of your adventures with us, but also to give you a very tangible commodity once you find high quality veins of it. We're a more hardcore group and so our server will reflect that heavily. Nothing is easy with us. And if it is, it's an accident on our part and we'll probably fix that once we notice it So if you're up for a bit of work, don't mind a whole lot of laughing and craziness, stop by and check us out. You'll see the owner online daily and something is usually happening when she gets bored. Events, random troll invasions, chickens falling from the heavens. You just never know what to expect from her. You could kill a rat with a shovel and end up with a magic mirror on the corpse. We're that kind of people -- and our server reflects that silly side of our personalities so that some of the tedious parts of this game are tempered by our fun environment. We look forward to adding you to our family and seeing how often we can make you spit your drink out from laughing at our craziness!

Posted June 3, 2018 Apano's Wheel of Horror struck! I'm still recovering. Poor darling felines. The Inn was a fun place to explore during my stint at the starter town (which is gorgeous and functional). As they've said before, watch out for the extreme slopes and come prepared to make friends unless you're married to the loner life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 13, 2018 I joined this server a few days ago after finding myself in need of a new home and couldn't be happier with my choice. The map is gorgeous and the community very welcoming. The admins have found a great balance of not too hard but not too easy. There are no free deeds/upkeep so you have to earn your way (which I prefer) but also a nice mod list to ease the tedium of vanilla Wurm. The owners have an excellent website and active Discord channel as well as facebook/twitter/steam groups. They have obviously put a lot of time, care and effort into providing players with a great server to enjoy. Anyone looking for a fresh start should come join the fun Kaelynn (in game) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
