Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Not really. It's been around for a few years now. it uses Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3, while Rolf's is a custom supersecret javasauce that only he really understands.All of the sandbox survival games are going to have a lot in common and all of them probably borrowed ideas initially from UO (skill based with animal taming, lockpicking, farming, building, etc). Except maybe the terraforming, not sure if Wurm was the first with that or not. And I don't think anyone else's is implemented quite like Wurm. Most of the others seem to focus more on combat & PvP, while Wurm focuses more on crafting & village life. Mortal Online though seems to have its own unique share of issues and I don't think its an actual threat to Wurm. Probably Xyson is a closer competitor in many ways. Also I don't think the sandbox genre is really hurt by having several different options out there for people.

Posted February 6, 2013 So I tried MO about a month ago or so, and maybe it was just me, but there didn't seem to be much to do. Am I missing something? Most of the time seemed to be spent grinding kills to get money to craft something (though gods know how that is done).I know this post is a bit jumpy, i'm just wondering if I missed something playing it or did Wurm just set too high expectations for a sandbox game?
