It's Massively Multiplayer Wurm Online Fantasy Simulator is many things, but first and foremost it is a survival MMO. In Wurm you must struggle to survive, at least in the beginning. You must find your own food, your own water (MMOFSwith the exception of the first 24 hours of game play thanks to the [[bartender]]), and your own shelter. Joining a settlement is one great way to find all of these things at your fingertips. Once you have mastered the basics of survival you can go on to build great structures, master a trade, and combat the enemies of your kingdom!

Also[[Death]] is inevitable in Wurm. Most players find that the game is much more fun if you get out and explore, hunt, and fight.

=Interaction=Getting Started==Right-click on objects, tiles, people, anything, to interact with it. A pop-up menu appears saying "''Requesting...''" which means the game is fetching data from the server about the specific object you are trying to interact with. When it's done (which is fairly quickly), you are given several options in the menu of what to do with the object. There are different options for different objects. You get more options depending on what item you have active. For example, you are presented with another option called "Cut down" if you have the Small Axe active and right-click a tree.<br><small><em>(Cutting down trees does not work with herrings!).</em></small><br><br>Note that a menu that appears in <span style="color: #999999">dark grey</span> is cached. Not all options may work. It will be automatically replaced with the real menu when the data from the server is received.==First Steps===
=Chat==Communication===In the The lower left corner (by default), you have of your screen is your [[chat window]]. Tabs at the chat-dialogtop indicate different channels and personal messages. This is were you talk in Local, Kingdom, Village (when you become a citizen You can click on a deed)tab to make it active, press Enter to start typing, and private messagestype a message into the window.
===The First Day===After going through the tutorial, use the [[portal]] to go to a server. Each starting city has many important items, such as a [[bartender]], [[token]], [[well]], and [[village recruitment board]]. To close start, find the bartender and right-click to ask for refreshments. If you decide to join a private conversation or kingdom-chat[[settlement]], click you may use the small X village recruitment board to help you in the upper right corner of the dialogyour search. Settlements are also known as deeds or villages. Local chat can not be closedThe token provides you with access to your [[bank account]], which is a safe place to store your in-game [[currency]] and up to 5 items.
For your first 24 hours of play time in Wurm you will receive the benefits of food from the bartender and a divine light source. You may ignore somebody with the command '''/ignore''', followed also receive other benefits that you can see by hovering over their usernameicons in the top right of your game window. Unignoring This is accomplished to let you learn the game and give you time to become self-sufficient by finding food and water and creating your own light source. You are given a tent that can be dropped on the same wayground and used to securely store items. Ignoring It is also used as a GM [[respawn]] point if you die. This can be used temporarily until you build your first house as the tent will decay if left on the ground. You can empty the tent and pick it back up again if you wish to move. You need a 2 x 2 tile space that is not on a deed or within the [[perimeter]] of a dev deed, that is clear of obstructions and other structures, and that is a bannable offensenot at or below water level, in order to drop your tent.<br>

You can use the Brightly glowing golden mirror you received when you started to change your appearance. '''Right-click''' the mirror and select '''use'''. This will display a customization window. You can change your gender and appearance once. The mirror is consumed when you save your character’s appearance.
For food, you can locate '''Resource nodes'Lawful'', '''right-click''' them and select '''Lore''' to see if they might contain food and select '''Forage''' or '''Botanize''' to try to collect their contents. It may take some time to find items you can eat and you will need to search around to find the right type of Resource node that has edible food in it. You can also use your carving knife or a butchering knife to butcher meat from animals you have killed or corpses of animals that you are allowed to butcher. '''Activate''' the knife and '''right-click''' the corpse, then select '''butcher'''. Once you are done, '''right-click''' the butchered corpse and select '''open''' to see the contents. To eat food, '''right-click''' the food and select '''eat'''.

You can smelt these down into [[iron lumps]] in a furnace, such as a [[forge]] or campfire. With the iron, you can begin to make a [[lantern]] and start to upgrade and replace your starting tools as well as make [[large nails]] to use for a house.
''Fighting:'Why won't my [[Body stamina|stamina]] regenerate?'''
This shows up when you are may be caused by lag, having "Hungry" and/or "Thirsty" in combat. See the [[Interface and controls#Statusbar|status bar]], swimming, or your [[fightingClimbing]] for more detailtoggle is activated. If you are being attacked, your stamina bar also will not regenerate and you may not be able to move away fast enough to get away in order to regain stamina which leaves you in a very dangerous situation.
