Important thing about Wurm is to acknowledge that settlements aren't permanent.  You flitter in and out, move from whichever is active at the time, improve your skills but don't put a ton of investment into the infrastructure of a single village.  Individuals become rather more important than a village itself - when I played it wasn't unusual to grab loose players for a few days to do things or go on pvp raids.

I agree with this. The relations you make with individual people are far more important and worthwhile to build up than some guy's dream of a giant Shinobi training village. However it's still worthwhile to work together for some common tasks. If you're in a village that's still setting up it might be worth it to help build the community buildings first (such as the kitchen, blacksmith, animal pens, whatever) before you build your own house. It'll be faster than building your own house alone, and at the same time you'll have access to it all once it's set up and ready.
Just stay away from villages that are one-man power lust dreams and look out for those that are more focused on everyone having fun.

Its also not a bad way to train skills as well, not to mention you can have fun working together and maybe gain a few friends along the way.

So what kind of server are we looking for, PVP or PVE? I'm personally not interested in PVp but if you guys are going on one of those then I'll follow along.

[Girlinhat]

Hop on a PVP, and if you're not for fighting you can do the home building.  Just be wary of invaders (there's usually PLENTY of warning from global chat) and don't take boats too far.

My character is on Serenity, so if I were to start playing again that'd be where.

[zehive]

Whats y'alls names on serenity? I don't want to boast, but I may or may not be a part of The Deed, aka Capital of Jenn-Kellon Elevation.

I have a deed on Serenity too, and know many places that are far removed from society, abandoned, overgrown and prime spots for noobs to live. And I have boats and stuff. I'm not a fantastic account, but I've been pvping since Chaos was Wild, at many JK war deeds and in many JK fights and died more than a few times. I wouldn't mind going to chill with you all.

[MadMalkavian]

My computer cannot play Wurm Online, otherwise I might have given it a shot. Good luck to you all though.

[Mono124]

I'll try it out I guess.

[zehive]

Give it a shot! Try not and bounce either in the tutorial or the first couple hours afterwards. If you need any help just say so in this thread, I have like 3 sailboats I can hop on at any time and just sail back to serenity and help anyone out.

I remember one time logging in and finding that two guys on horse back were raiding my town and I got cut down more than once trying to defend it, I was incredibly underpowered and couldn't do anything. (Although I was new so If I played a bit more I probably could have defended myself better.)

Not really. Combat skills in Wurm are the same as all the other skills. They are extremely grindy and there is a huge power gap even if you're just a few combat levels below the enemy. Which is another reason to not really bother with PvP in Wurm.
(Of course combat skills don't really matter all that much since pvp is usually either a gank fest or a mob fest, anyway. Kind of like Eve, actually.)

Uuuhhh.. not sure what you mean here.. you can have 70 fight skill in under a week, you get 50 weapon skill while getting your fight skill, 40 shield skill while getting 70fs AT THE LEAST. Thats enough to get in on pvp. Theres people on Elevation who go to PvP events with sub-50 fight skill. The only parts of fighting that are grindy are if you're going past 70 in any related skill for some stupid reason despite no true benefit because its all on the curve. I've managed to put long time veteran super elitist pvpers on the ropes many times in spars with my account that I've been half-assedly playing since late December, whereas theyve had theirs since the opening of the cluster. This isn't Wild anymore, this is Epic.

And as for crafting skill, you can get 50 skill in anything in a day.

I know those names mean nothing to you, but thats a mix bag of 12 Mol Rehan vs A mix bag (and in terms of pvp ability equal footed with MR) of 14 Jenn-Kellon. JK pulled out a big win despite many names having this being their introduction to PvP. This isn't an elitists battlefield, new people matter. There was many sub-50fs people there.

This isn't Wild anymore, this is Epic.

Yes, you are right. I've forgotten Epic has a different skill gain rate.

[zehive]

And not everyone is walking around in drake with farwalkers, and people actually die on epic and its more dynamic and interesting. And having 40 body strength is considered really really good.

[Morrigi]

I might get on Wurm again if other people are playing. So, some kind of pvp server. Which one?

[UristMcDwarf]

OK, even through Serenity is old, apparently someone knows where some virgin spots are. What time do we meet up in SB to begin travel?

[ansontan2000]

I'm free for the next 10~ hours so...C'mon guys!
