The Kindness of Wurmians – 1

I decided to add a new feature, it won’t have a set schedule, but will just pop up here and there when I have some content. It happens often enough that I’d like to take note of the instances. In a game like Wurm Online, reputation is everything. If you want business from other players, or you want to shop from others, chances are you care at least a little bit about your reputation. I’ve had both good and bad experiences with players over the years, but what I’d like to promote is some awesome acts of kindness that I’ve personally witnessed in game, both on the older SFI (South Freedom Island) and NFI (North Freedom Island – ie: active since steam release of Wurm). Eventually I may even take nominations of players, we’ll just have to see.

First up – Annuile – from the North Freedom Islands.

Annuile was handing out pottery bowls of random affinity alcohol to wurmians to that left them with over 24h of affinity buff. It was kind, required nothing in return, and as a thank you I sent them their pottery bowl back filled with honey from the local beehive. Hopefully they can use it in their next beverage endevours.

Thanks for your random act of kindness, Annuile!

A Cadence Home

I now have two premium characters on Independence, and two on Cadence, one of the newer servers that opened up with the steam release of Wurm Online. It’s quite active, usually around 200-300 players, and it’s the same size as Independence (I believe). I’ve settled on the North East coast (seems I simply prefer that sort of location) and set up a small 1s a month deed. The first thing I did besides opening my mine to find iron, was construct a guard tower. This gave me the 30 masonry I needed in order to begin building stone buildings.

I have a small garden started, and some waterfront terraformed. I started a spirit cottage in the hopes of having an easier time getting mail, but my skill is too low to attach pieces yet. I’m hoping to start a rice & reed farm, once I can get some of those as seeds. It’s not going to be a fancy place, but it’s a nice little project. My Fo priest has an active subscription until mid 2023, so it’s safe to say I’ll be playing for quite some time (thanks to the black Friday sale that was recently held). For whatever reason, Wurm is and continues to be one of my favourite games of all time.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.

No-Clucks-Given & Burt

Ah. Wurm.

Once again I’ve decided to start my own deed – on Cadence. Which is where I was a few months back. I even paid to premium another character, leaving me with a total of 4. Two on the old Southern servers, and two on the newer ones. Two priests, two ‘regular’ characters. The deed is small, located along the cost in the North East, and should provide easy access if the Southern servers are ever joined. In the meantime, I finally reached 30 masonry, so I’m creating stone houses, and a much needed guard tower.

I have my trusty hen, a bull, and a lot of .. well, nothing, really. It should be a fun adventure if I can stick with it.

A Wurm Christmas Present

Each year the developers of Wurm Online give players a unique gift for those who are premium. It has becoming a long tradition, one I quite enjoy. This year the reward is a checkers board – and you can actually play the game with another player. It’s quite beautiful, and opens some opportunities for people to get together and play at impalongs and the like. Players who missed out on the unique version can also craft one in game.

I’ve been trying to collect the rest of the Christmas gifts from years gone by, I think all I’m missing is a garden gnome.

Thank you Wurm Online developers & staff!

Down Goes a Kyklopse

I joined in with 87 others to take down this foe on the harmony server. It was a lot of fun and I was glad to participate. I also joined in a sermon group over at the Sklotopolis deed and have been working on raising my faith up. I left my character there for a few days 24/7 to provide .02 faith to other preachers, and I myself went from 40 to 52. One of my long term wurm goals has always been to reach 100 faith, but I don’t see that actually happening. As this is my Fo priest, I’ll be content with 70, which will allow me to cast genesis.

My vynora priest recently hit 70, and now I’m working on getting enchanted grass created with her.

I’ve also decided to join a very large village, something I probably would not have dreamed of doing in the past. We’ll see how that works out.
