Wurm Online is different. What would be the point of creating something that has been done time and time again?

• On Wurm, you can see for miles
• On Wurm, you can change the shape of the terrain by digging and moving dirt
• On Wurm, you can grow things, pave things, move things
• On Wurm, you can dig till you hit rock, then keep digging till you make vast caverns rich with iron ore, silver, and even gold.
• And now we have introduced boats, you can pack up your belonging and sail the oceans - Wurm is truly Massive!

Wurm is a skill lead game. When you start, you can barely do anything, checking out your skills by pressing F2 while using the intuitive client will reveal a miserable set of skills. But from the moment you pick up a shovel and start digging, your digging skill starts to build. You chop down a tree and your wood cutting skill increases. Fight a deer with a sword and your fight skill increases. Fight a spider and you die. Okay, so that wasn't so clever. Many things in Wurm are hard to do, requiring patience and skill. But anyone can build skill in Wurm. Anyone can be a mason, a carpenter, a blacksmith, a weapons smith, a digger, a cook, a handyman (or woman), a tailor, a leather worker – it is all there to learn, just pick up a tool and get working!

Oh, but I like to fight people!

Okay, a lot of games do that. In fact most games seem to do ONLY that in reality. But not Wurm. On the lands of Wurm you have a choice.

Join the Wild server (either at sign up, or build a boat and sail there from home) and welcome to the world of in-your-face confrontation. This is where Kingdoms clash, where there are outlaws, where raiding rather than farming is the way of life. People look kind of different here too – you may not want to invite them all round to dinner! And some of those things that want to eat you? Well, they just get nastier and bigger.

On Home Lands, stealing is punished, PvP is not allowed and the moderators try and keep the peace – to be fair, players here want a peaceful life. This is a rare game where you can actually play without having to prove anything!

But on both servers you can also build and create your new life. However, players don't just bung up a house to a predetermined plan - they build and design entire villages on deeds with guards. Houses are planned out however you wish - square, oblong, sort of U shaped with a kink out of it, what ever - it is a free country!
