It's a great view of what was back then the starter town of New Dawn on the Golden Valley server where there was sort of a limited ingame tutorial. Back then, you started as a brand new character right on the open (no walled-off tutorial that would be the case later) and could roam around as you wished. All there at the time were non-premium as premium didn't work to change the 20 skill/characteristic cap but you did have to get premium to use the portal to go to Freedom (PvE Independance) or Wild (PvP, now reworked and relocated to be the Chaos PvP server). Great find! (though yeah, YouTube and the creator's IP rights might be an issue) Edited October 23, 2021 by Tristanc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no one favourite memory, but here is a sampler of memorable moments. Putting the last peg on the knarr I built at the lowest possible skill level was a pretty special moment. Reaching the peak of a mountain after a long and difficult climb and discovering a whole new vista. Running around town with one other villager trying to stop a champion troll that was on a rampage was a lot of fun. Where else would you find a ship sticking out of a mountain peak in the middle of nowhere? 5. 5. Edited October 28, 2021 by TheTrickster 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Tell us: 1. Your Wurm character's name: HawkHawk2. What year you started playing Wurm: 20203. In one or two sentences - What Wurm means to you: Wurm means Freedom and Creativity. Always planning new ideas and seeing them come to life.4. In one or two sentences - Your favorite Wurm memory: Setting up in a hostile area with no experience, trying to build up and defend the village with relentless Scorpion and Crocodile assaults.5. Please include a screenshot of your character's head: I don't think I've been playing long enough to have any really interesting screenshots, but I'll post a few of my favorites from the last year. The Great Battle of the Storage House. I think this is a nice action shot of the guards dispatching a Vicious Lava Fiend who was trying to help himself to our Bulk Storage Bins. The Fleet Sets Sail! This was quite recent from just after the Red Dragon Slaying on Harmony, very nice seeing so many boats all sailing together. Aurora Bridge and Panorama Panorama of the deed so far. The Bridge was intended to represent the colours of the Aurora Borealis, its not quite worked out that way but still lights up nice at night time. Deed planned and built by Aereya, Aerthok, Alantheman, HawkHawk. Edited October 25, 2021 by HawkHawk 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) When the in-game year changed to 1000, the sky was covered in fiery auroras, so says people over the discord anyway. I never knew if it really happened but I had wondered about it for years ever since finding this obscure screenshot. Also makes sense as to why there's an official soundtrack titled "Sky on Fire". This was... 13 years ago? Definitely an old screenshot. Edited October 25, 2021 by Metallumere 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2021 1.Your Wurm character's name: Fez/Holar2. What year you started playing Wurm: 20043. In one or two sentences - What Wurm means to you: It’s been a pretty consistent thing in my life for 17 years, it’s always been an escape from RL bs.4. In one or two sentences - Your favorite Wurm memory: One of my favorite memories was shooting myself with a bow and reporting the bug and GM’s not believing me and me recreating the bug in front of them and immediately Rolf and the few Devs at the time shutting the servers down. Someone also made a gif out of it to, pretty sure @Xallohas it. Also these screenshots people have are bringing back some real nostalgia feels… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 25, 2021 The only thing really worth including video wise is older PvP videos. Just look some up on youtube: "Wurm online PvP" peat mine, the deed, etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Your Wurm character's name: Klaa, chief among other names used over the years. What year you started playing Wurm: Spring 2006 - Last couple of months before Beta ended. What Wurm means to you: One of the better mmo sandbox environments, especially on pvp servers as a thief (allegedly). Your favorite Wurm memory: There has been so many good and bad times over the years, especially relationships formed. Libilian Outlaws with Zerobyte and family. Empire of Mol Rehan with Horton and crew. Too many old mates long gone and dead, Tich and Oracle, to name just a couple that are particularly missed. The strangest one was many years ago (between 2007 and 2014?) with the devs half-implementing a certain breeding feature, due to a "miscommunication amongst the team" as we were later told. It was to allow for players to be able to breed with each other in the same way as animal breeding already worked. There were even models for the human children already on the test server. Unfortunately this was so far back that only one image currently exists afaik: The actual version that was implemented live used a resurrected human zombie to breed with a female player character, who was usually a BL priestess. The resulting offspring would be titled "Son/daughter of <player name>" and would have a spider model. My first experience with this ingame was after being offline a couple days. Logged in just minding my own business when a spidery Son of Glory jumped me. Fellow sort of took after his mother. The shenanigans lasted barely a week before devs yoinked it all out. Course this barely scratches the surface. I can go for ages on subjects such as zombie cheese... weaponized water... water swords... gold water...

Posted October 26, 2021 I have accumulated quite a hefty library of images over the more than a decade I've been playing wurm.... Here are some of the oldest ones I could find now : From JK Home in 2009 https://imgur.com/a/PqzLK Indy and Exodus 2010/2011 https://imgur.com/a/AXGeD7F And for kicks here are my two best parking jobs ever.

Entering a cave canal can still cause a few tense moments, was only the other day I got throw out and stuck in a teleporting loop. How about that moment back in December 2018 when you could get a flying boat after leaving a cave canal? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2021 So much awesome stuff guys. Those old screenshots are cracking me up to no end! Three more days to go to submit stuff! You're still welcome to post content here after the 31st, but as there needs to be a cut-off point to be able to plan, the focus is going to be more on the stuff submitted before the deadline. In coming days, I'll also be setting up a post about Wurm history, as I'm sure you guys have some interesting tidbits to add to whatever data we already have. But more on that later!
