pc gamer magazineNot one, or two, or three ... but SIX pages of coverage in one of the biggest selling PC gaming mags out there. In the UK version of PC Gamer,  Quinin Smith has written a wonderful account of the early experiences of a slightly more than out-of-his-depth new Wurmian. This article was completely unexpected, which made it a particular delight, and was brought to Enki's attention by a new player. Greasemark, who had come to play the game because he had just read the article.And it seems that other people have been reading it too for Golden Valley has certainly been much busier than usual, keeping Enki and the PA team well and truly on their toes.

"Lost in the middle of a dense forest, crowded with ravenous mountain lions," are the opening words of this detailed article. It is not a review, but rather a dialogue about how Quinns survived in his earliest of days. This is so much better than the standard review as it really does give a flavour of one aspect of the game. Although not always wildly accurate, it is a rather pleasant reminder of how a lot of us got Wurm Online completely wrong in our early days, and made assumptions that were well and truly wide of the mark. To be fair, I have now spoken to Quintin, and he says that the inaccuracies seem to have appeared at point of the editors pen rather than his own!

Sadly for a lot of you, this appears to be unique to the UK edition, however, I will be contacting the publishers, Future Publishing, to ask if we may reproduce the text on our website. They may say no, but at least its worth asking! I will keep you informed. Oh, and why not go and say wonderful things about Wurm on the PC Gamer Forums

EDIT: I have been told that once the magazine goes off sale the article will be put up on the PC Gamer website.

So it only remains for all the team to welcome all the new players who have come here having read the article, and all other new players that found us in other ways!

Welcome to Wurm - we have been waiting for you!
