Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) Heaven forbid one socializes with other players... *gasp* *shudder* Oh the horror! Ive rarely ever owned more than one or two priests in all my years playing Wurm, and even then its for priests that are uncommon elsewhere.

Posted February 3, 2014 Hi, To experience all the game has to offer its more expensive then all subscriptions based MMO's (10 USD to 15 USD). In Wurm your looking at (again experience all the game has to offer) 3 priests, 1 crafter, 1 large deed (5s upkeep, I"m not counting the initial funding cost), a couple silvers to trade ~ 40 € or 54 $ per month. You could plan things out and rotate premium on priests so you only have the crafter and one priest per month. That would bring it down to ~ 23 € or 31$.You're right for a certain mindset, but I'd still think you're grossly exaggerating.From my view many ppl already play as part of a 'private community' (hubby - wifey at most, or buddy - buddy), and thus don't need a full sets of priests each. 1 working char, 1 priest each works nicely. You don't need all kinds of priests, ask your neighbors, and barter!Besides, a 5S deed is just madness - for 1S only you get 500 tiles already - who needs 2500? For sure, you have to get rid of your mobs for yourself, and, if you cannot do, face the shame to hire a ghost. For 1S more.Two prem players (friends/ couple), allied, with deeds carefully placed to each other, can claim quite a piece of land.But still you are right, the costs are ways higher meanwhile compared to even the AAA+ MMO titles. 1 crafter, 1 priest, and a min-wage deed = 17 EUR/ a month. (in your friendly neighborhood MMO you'll get a whole bunch of chars, and some nice goodies for it ...)Would all be OK IMHO (because Wurm is just special), if Wurm would deliver an adequate service. But it doesn't. Blackouts any other weekend, and constant spontaneous, uncalled for nerfs to all, because some special ppl out of a tiny minority (beloved by the maker = certain PvP chars) lost a battle again, and then was loud enough in IRC, again.This sucks. And the common weekend disco sucks. And the common refresh lag sucks.Rolf is meanwhile charging MORE than your friendly neighborhood AAA+ MMO, for just a fraction of the service.Even if we put the barrier lower than you did, JoeDobo, this is not good, IMHO.Announcing something for prime rates +, and then offering a service not even worth third rate, this rarely ever was a good, lasting business idea. Wurm is a unique game, guess we agree. This is why it's still here, and why I still pay 4 prems and 5 deeds (with my partner).But with every nerf (hell horses now plain horses with different skin, just ways more difficult to ride, for instance) and with every weekend downtime we're more and more prone to look after alternatives. We have the money to pay, and we pay happily, but we expect an adequate service. And if such isn't delivered, we might leave one day or the other, hearts bleeding, for brighter lands. Have fun! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who says you have to do it all at the same time? My main toon has been priested more than once. The only thing you lose on de-priesting is faith and that is easy enough to restore when you re-priest. Of course you need to be a member of a community when you do it this way but that is one of the games big draws for me, being part of a community. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2014 I dunno. I prem erm roughly 5 toons. Still cheaper for me than crappy Xbox games that are done in 3 hours or steam sales where I used buy 10 games, download 2 and play 1. Wurm is relativly cheap imo when I factor how long I spend playing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2014 Wurm is not expensive?Try saying that when you have to balance on your head a plethora of bills, living expenses, car registration/insurance & maintenance and girlfriend whilst combating rising petrol prices, rising living expenses, increased rent and the declining value of the Australian dollar.It costs me my entire weekly entertainment budget just to fill up my car with E10 petrol... and I need my car for work and to get around! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2014 Well its all relative. During 2012 I spent roughly 2500e on one shot AAA titles. So I'm saving money by playing Wurm. While I appreciate that others are not so fortunate this is my point of view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 4, 2014 I spent more buying Lightning Returns alone than wurm cost all year. Heck I spent more on chinese food yesterday than on Wurm for the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2014 wow its been along time since i did the math. I would pay just over 62$ us for upkeep a month (but my traders cover that) then add 6 prem characters. 4 i prepay for yr. 2 pay for 2 months at a time. 4x9$ us plus 2x11$ us /month =58$ us a month for prem time , if i didint have traders =120$ us a month is what i put into this game. plus all the bulk,tools,weapons,armor, and deeds i buy. 2012 i spent 1k EU on deeding and other things. according to my paypal. last yr was just over 2k EU. wife arrgo on that one, but hey it was my bonus check. and so far this yr's plans is about 600us and then add prem for all 6 characters 648$ us. so i guess over a 1k again and this before May prem expiring time. glad another bonus check coming soon. i spend this money cus 1. i dont drink,smoke, no drugs. and now this yr. no more fastfood.lost 13lbs already in 1 month. i no longer waste money on other games that i'd buy and only play a week or two. then come back to wurm. i think a lot of us rather saveup and spend money on this game (hobby to a lot of us) because we enjoy the time spent here, and the folks we can play with. on a side note. it's easy to make ingame money too. but depends on how much time you have to play. i did some math in dec. i can put up my 3 priests and 3 mains. on my 2 computers. and put out 1200 bricks per hour. or 1000ish mortar. basicly if a priest can make bulk mats. i can put out 1k of any per hour. so spending 30hrs a month. or 7.5/wk or 1hrs per day . i could make 60s per month and pay prem ingame for all 6 of my alts. and i guess do the extra 1hr per day and pay all my upkeeps, if i didnt have traders supporting that. i also just disbanded a few deeds and downsized a few. to save 25s a month. i too was over extending. need to budget. but this game is very manageable if you plan it right.
