On the wild server, the Mol Rehan kingdom is under large pressure from the champions of the Horde of the Summoned. Their priests are said to create death zones from which there is meagre chances to escape and few are lucky to emerge alive. I’m currently debugging the new deed system. It’s a lot of... »

I want to wish all the team members and all the players of Wurm a really Merry Christmas with all the snow, jingles and colors that come with it! »

I received an email by a person involved in the setup of PC Gamer Top 100 site (www.pcgamertop100.com) today. He said he himself was a big fan of Wurm Online and urged me to direct you guys there to vote for Wurm. I consider just being eligible for votes there a big honour I guess if... »

Just thought I’d share my plans for the rest of the year: Announce the annual Wurmish christmas gift: The plans are that it will be pretty much handled like last year where you will have all the time from the 24th to the 29th CEST to visit Santa. As usual we will only hand out gifts to... »

This link works in Sweden only: http://svtplay.se/t/102869/k_special__virtuell_perfektion. Maybe you can find it streamed in your country. I get upset by some of the things I hear about... »

So, as you may have understood I’ve FINALLY FINALLY gotten around to “fixing the religion”. So what’s all this fuss about? Actually with the new meditation paths I’m pretty content with how it complements religion mysterywise. You could actually say that the meditation was a large part of the religion fix from my point of view. There... »

This is an interesting lesson for all you economists out there – how to lift a stagnant economy! Basically, the wurm economy is in severe deflation. Most people work for nickles and dimes, even our most skilled craftsmen are currently satisfied with an hourly salary of max 1 euro or so. Obviously people are content doing... »

The update with meditation yesterday was very well received. I’ve spent the last weeks focusing on bugfixing and creating some mysterious features that will keep people busy for a long time. I’m going to finish off this meditation track today and do a background storytelling feature. Then next week it’s time for religion changes. I... »
