Meanwhile far far away
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 have recently been chatting to a group of MMO players at a site called MMO Voices. They are a self made group of around 200 gamers lead by a character called Beau Turkey. On a suggestion from yours truly, they have made Wurm Online their “Game of the Site” and have set up... »

Hello everyone, I finally updated and joined the hip 2010 crowd. I figured it was about time I joined the rest of you as 2010 seems to be the in thing to do now, but I am not so “happy” about it. I know it has that new year smell and new fancy wrapping... »

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... »

I’ve not been very active lately, and it’s all Tich’s fault. She happened to mention to me that she was thinking about buying a new game on the weekend, Dragon Age: Origins. So I googled it and found this review video: http://au.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dragonage/review.html I thought to myself that it was exactly the kind of game I liked, similar to... »

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 Friday we held the yearly shareholders meeting in Onetoofree AB. We’re 6 people who own shares with me and Markus Persson (Notch) being majority owners.

At the moment I’m doing something that pretty much is the dream for any old pen and paper role player – creating magic spells. I have such an interesting world to do it in as well. Not only can spells target creatures, items and areas – they can actually modify the world! The Tornado will... »

I just saw this documentary called “Another perfect world” about MMO development and how we recreate society online. I recommend it to you if you’re interested in the subject. 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... »
