New Player's Guide

First of all, welcome to the world of Wurm Online! Wurm Online is not like an ordinary MMORPG. In fact it is not even an MMORPG - it is a new genre of games - MMOFS. Massivly Multiplayer Online Fantasy Simulation.

The world of Wurm starts of with no towns/villages, buildings or any signs of civilization. That's up to you - you have to build the towns. You can even form the land by digging and moving dirt. You could even move a whole mountain (given lots of time).

Logging into Wurm

First of all you are going to have to start the client. For this you are going to need a fairly modern graphics card and Java.

Java can be downloaded here. More information on this is on the Wurm Online Home Page.

Once you are ready click the "Launch" button. Then wait.

First thing you will probably want to change some settings. Click "Options". On an old/bad system you should turn all the options down to the lowest possible and deselect all the checkboxes with extra features.
