I pay with real money too. 2 hours of work pays for 12 months of premium.

Sorry, should have specified in the OP... if you want the silver, COD me anything for 5s and I will pay. Unless you show up in my logs as a douchebag.

It has been over a year since I have I think now?

 

I supported development for many years by paying with cash, because I believed the game could go in a direction I would enjoy more, but these days I'm only around for the good friends I made here and development direction is of little real hope!

i drop 200$ each month on deed upkeep and subs so that the devs have an income and i can play the game i found to be so enjoyable playing, i do not regret this choice i just enjoy what i own in game and try to have lots of fun doing what i prefer. i think that what you are doing is wonderful Ajala and if i had excessive funds in game i would help others out the same way most likely.

(hat tip)

I still buy premium with money, and honestly, for the cost of ONE fast food lunch, I can play Wurm all month.  I don't see it as anything over the top and I don't mind supporting a game I enjoy.  I like the extra marks, too, which is a nice benefit for the prem time purchase.  It's great you want to help others, and hopefully people appreciate that!

 

I'd send my son over, but I just bought him a couple months prem time, in hopes we'll have the black friday sale again. :)

This is awesome and very nice of you! I will also add to this if anyone needs/wants to live somewhere rent free, have your own plot to do whatever you want with and essentially have a place to call home I am opening up my doors and inviting new people to join my village. i have 4500 tiles on my deed and too much room than i know what to do with. Plus, honestly i love the community! Also, i have a business that should you choose to, more than welcome to join the team and make in game currency to afford premium as well! Whatever work you do you get paid what i would get paid 100% of your contribution! Also, Ajala not trying to steal the spotlight (i know you dont care about spotlight...figure of speach) just adding onto this already awesome community outreach program youve started! :) LOVE IT!

I for one have premmed my main toon all the way to Nov. of 2026 with real money, I also have enough Silver to keep my deed going for longer than that. If I find I am short Silver for a player to player purchase I will throw some real world dolla dolla bills at the game.

I've nearly always paid real money for my subscription, mostly because when I try to earn silver for it, I feel like I'm spending half of my playtime just paying for my playtime. I do sometimes spend silver to prem alts (priest) for 2 weeks at a time, since I don't need them very often.

i pay the year on 4 priests and my main on NFI  , if we ever merge i'll be adding 4 more prem yearly payments for 4 on SFI  to add in to NFI .  do my own sermons and have a ton of skills i can have fun with. yearly is best for bonus marks and discount. added that plus upkeep for the year on my deeds. i spend less then 90$ Canadian per month.  it's just all at once xmas bonus.  this year i hope to hold onto extra money for the one and only sale a a year we get..... should be more of them. and bonus exp weekends a couple times a yr would be nice advertisement

Is this some attempt at "don't give wurm your money" thing? 

 

The whole "prove you paid the five silver I gave you into premium" feels so. 

 

Feels scummy man

Wern't you a Wurm rep that refused to play Wurms newest Continent launch whilst simutaneoulsy streaming Wurm for your own gain whilst 'promoting' wurm by only logging into the old servers and showing ruins?

Wow. 

 

"I will give you free ability to do x, but please show me you did x with it".  Perfectly reasonable, but somehow "feels scummy man."

 

Get this; the offer was specifically to pay premium with silver - so giving over the silver FIRST was already a goodwill gesture ON TOP OF the very generous gesture.   I have heard of looking a gift horse in the mouth, but I reckon this is almost the equivalent of digital rectal exam.

Hmm? I played on the Northern Isle and showed it all off, but I mostly worked with the existing streamers of VEN to showcase and highlight them through using Steam Store Broadcasts and such. 

 

Personally I used time on the old servers to showcase what is possible, as I didn't have a toon that could ride horses and do so with any ease, so there was definite differences there.

I mean, I'm happy to be wrong!

Also, he sold out for real money his scale set, 100's of sleep powders, supremes and all that jazz as soon he find out rolf is selling wurm and probably RTM closure, few months before everyone else find out. Totally not scummy

It's not that you didn't have a toon that could ride a horse, its that you didn't want to grind on a new server to have the ability to ride a horse, whilst at the time streaming Wurm for your own gain pretending to care about the game.

 

Didnt have the care to is alot different to didnt have a toon that could... I mean the WHOLE realm on the fresh servers couldnt ride a horse until they grinded. the fact you couldnt be bothered I guess is a part of whilst your no longer a wurm rep.

 

Feels scummy man.

 

Apologies to the OP in this, your doing a community oriented goodness that I and alot of ppl appreciate, however when I see crap like Archaed is saying it gets on my nerves.

There was more to it, but you're right, I'll cop the L on that. 

 

This thread too, my comment was put of line and I had figured this was all buried, bringing it back up again means I should at least add an edit

I think the thread itelf showed up in the main listing and as a thread I hadn't read at all, I started at the beginning.  I think maybe others may have done the same.  No malice intended on my part, but it struck me as a jaded view.  It happens.

I've mastered the art of earning to get the perks. It's not just about saving money; it adds a sweet sense of accomplishment. Ever tried the in-game hustle? Why drop real cash on subscriptions when you can save up and invest? Just find a competent specialist (like Mortgage Broker Huddersfield) and start spending your money wisely. Anyway, good luck with Wurm!

No, no really. Never mastered the art of earning the perks.

Been playing a long time, me and my alt we have a few skills in the 90’s that would allow me to pay for my premium with Silver, but is not my cup o’tea.

I’m always thankful for people like you.

Really, really thankful!

people with real high skills selling me an enchanted QL 98 rare pick for 8s? Thank you!

a Fo Priest traveling to my deed to enchant my mailbox for 3s? I’ll pay you 5s!

But no, not me.

If I travel with my Mag Priest to cast strongwall for an ally, Ill do it for free.

If I make a ql 80, or 90 set of studded for a neighbor, I’ll do it for free.

Got a great job in RL, that I love, and allow me to pay for what I need.

It also have deadlines, and production expectations.

when I play Wurm, I want nothing of it.

and I still feel that I accomplished something.

is the beauty of Wurm, we all can feel accomplished doing what we want to do.

Away from the hate campaign against Archaed, and back to the topic.

I paid in ingame silver exactly once, the first month of my subscription. From then on, I paid yearly. When the BF sales came out, I even extended my subs to all of my 3 priests all the year, before it was bit split, and partially with ingame silver. I do not intend to change that unless BF sales get scrapped, or more catastrophic failures like the forced drunkenness for forage/botanize skill gain occur which might drive me out of the game, or at least limit to my main character.

I pay in game money and just paid for 10 accounts for 1-3 months.  Can I make cash in game sure I can.  But heck 2 hours of work pays for over 3 months for 1 toon and I seriously addicted.
Do I think the development of the game is getting better.  Maybe  it is maybe not  but if they keeping doing good QOL it cant get anything but better in my mind.
