You may also make a post in the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/26-technical-issues/ Technical Issues] section of the forum.
Once the game downloads the needed packs, you can enter your character name and password. You must click ''I agree to the EULA'', which refers to the EULA that can be found under the EULA button in the menu above the login boxes. Everytime you log in, you are agreeing to abide by Wurm Online rules. Finally, click '''Play''' to log into Wurm Online.
You can adjust your game settings on either launcher before logging in. You may want to turn your graphics down to medium if you are on an older computer as Wurm can be very intensive. You can adjust these settings as needed.

The lower left of your screen is your [[chat window]]. Tabs at the top indicate different channels and personal messages. You can click on a tab to make it active, press Enter to start typing, and type a message into the window.
CA HELP is watched by [[Wurm staff|Community Assistant]]s and other helpful players. You may ask or answer questions in this tab, but general conversations should take place elsewhere. We also have Russian, German, and Non-English (all other languages) Help tabs, where players and staff are available to help. Wurm officially only allows English in all other public channels, but if you are in need, feel free to ask for help in your language in GL or Freedom chat. It is likely a player who speaks your language will message you to help. Wurmians are very friendly and we have players from all over the world. [[Chat#Freedom|Freedom]] is a chat for players on the same [[server]] as you and [[Chat#Global|GL-Freedom]] is a global chat that can be seen by any player on any [[PvE|Freedom Isles (PVE)]] server, except [[PVP#Chaos|Chaos]]. You can toggle Freedom chat by typing '''/kchat''' and GL-Freedom by typing '''/gchat'''. If the tabs are not open already, you can send a message to Freedom by using '''/shout <message>''' and GL-Freedom by using '''/gshout <message>'''. Freedom is a good place to ask if you are lost or trying to find something on your server. GL-Freedom can be a good place to ask for general adviceconversation. [[Chat#Private Message|Private messages]] may be sent between players on any server by typing '''/tell <player> <message>'''. If the player exists, this will open a new tab with that player’s name. If a player sends you a private message, it will also open a tab in which you can reply to them. [[Chat#Local|Local chat]] can be heard by anyone within 80 tiles of your current location. The list in the right portion of the window shows you players that are currently in your local and able to hear messages sent to local.

Your food and water indicators are at the top left of the screen, as well as your [[nutrition]] indicator. Running low on water will make your actions take longer and make you regenerate [[stamina]] slower. Food also has a similar effect when it gets low, and if you have any nutrition left, you will fast when your food drops to 8%. [[Fasting]] refills your food indicator, but removes a percentage of your nutrition.
Starting cities have wells that you may use to obtain water. You may also find fountains and larger bodies of water in your travels, any of which may be used for drinking or filling a [[container]] with water to take with you. Some containers useful for storing water include a [[pottery jar]], a [[waterskin]], and a [[small bucket]]. * To drink from a well, fountain or partially or fully submerged tile, '''right-click''' and select '''Drink'''* To filla container from a well or fountain , '''activate''' the container and then '''right-click''' to open the well or fountain, then '''right-click''' on the water in and select '''fill'''.* To fill a fountain or on container from a tile that is partially submerged in water , '''activate''' the container and then '''right-click''' the tile and select '''fill'''.
For food, you can locate '''Resource nodes''', '''right-click''' a grass tile them and select '''Lore''' to see if they might contain food and select '''Nature > Forage'''or '''Botanize''' to try to collect their contents. It may take some time to find items you can eat and you may will need to move search around to find an area the right type of Resource node that hasn’t been picked over yethas 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'''. The quality and type of food determines how much nutrition you gain or lose when eating, and hot food restores more nutrition than cold food.

===Next Steps===
The percentages listed on the create menus is the chance that you will succeed, taking into account tool and material quality, and your skill. However, unlucky streaks can and will happen. Failing ten times in a row with 95% success rate is very bad luck, not a bug. Any items in red cannot be crafted with your current skill level.
The 30 25 [[Quality level|quality]] [[longswordlong sword]] you get at the beginning is barely good enough for killing [[Large rat|rat]]s, so you may want to consider creating yourself a new weapon that may be [[improve]]d, or even go for a new [[shield]]. Bows allow you to deal ranged damage without receiving any yourself, [[long bow]]s have such a range that most creatures are unable to see '''or''' attack you.

''There are people who have money and people who are rich.''
The Wurm [[Bank of Wurm|currency]] is split into coins of different types of metal, in different [[Bank_of_Wurm#Denominations|denominations]]; iron, copper, silver and gold. You may find money by slaying [[Animals|creatures]], [[Bury|burying corpses]], [[foraging]] or [[botanizing]], or you can purchase it as silver from the [http://shop.wurmonline.com/WurmWeb/index.jsp/ Wurm Shop]. The amount of money that can be found randomly in game depends on the amount of money available in the [[kingdom]]'s coffers.
Another way of making money in Wurm is through trade with other players. You can use the [[chat]] in-game or the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/ forums] to offer goods and services to other players, who ultimately reward you with money.
