Added info about the hand mirror
==Can I jump?==
:No, there is no jumping in Wurm Online – and it is usually not needed. You cannot pass obstacles like fences by jumping over them. There is a risk, however, to “fall” over fences if you accidentally fall drop down a steep slope – so be careful not to get trapped in an enclosed area.<br><br>
==I am walking very slowly. How do I run?==
:There is no “run” mode in Wurm Online. Your movement speed is determined by the weight you are carrying and the the terrain you are walking on. If your character appears to move extremely slow, you are probably carrying too much weight, or you may accidentally have enabled “climb mode”. To find out about your current weight, open another the character window by pressing “C” and move your mouse pointer over the little weight symbol in the upper left corner. The tooltip window will show your total weight and also inform you about speed penalties. To find out if you are accidentally climbing instead of walking, use your “quickbar”: open the main menu by pressing “Esc” or the letter “O”, then select “Hud settings” and enable “Quickbar”. The first icon of the quickbar toggles Climb Mode. While playing Wurm Online your skills and body characteristics will continue to rise, and you will eventually be able to carry more and more weight without getting slower!<br><br>
==Why don’t I regain stamina?==
==I died! What can I do now?==
:Dying is something to be expected during your first days in Wurm Online – so don’t be worried. You will lose a small percentage of your current skills (which aren’t very high yet anyway), and some of your inventory items will be missing. They remain with your [[Death#Your_corpse|your corpse]] and can be retrieved later. The items are safe for quite a while; nobody will be able to take them as long as the corpse is lying on the ground – typically about 2 real days. When you die, a window will appear asking you where you want to respawn. You always have the option to respawn at the starter town, and – if you dropped your [[starter tent]] somewhere – near your tent. That’s why it is a good idea to drop your tent if you are staying at a place far from a starter town for a while. It is also possible to [[Starting with Nothing|start over with nothing]]<br><br>
==How do I find water and food?==
==How do I travel? Can I teleport?==
:Later on, when your skills have increased, you will be able to ride horses or drive carts. For now, you will probably just walk! (Technically, even as a new player you could ride a cow – but they are pretty slow.) There is no “magical” way of fast travelling in Wurm Online, so: no teleporting. One exception: When you decide to join an existing village, you will have a one-time option to teleport to that place. For travelling you can use your in-game map to see what the area looks like (press “M” to open it), but on the official Wurm forums you will find a “community map” of your server, which is a lot more detailed and offers a great deal of information. '''''Never use an abandoned cart, wagon, or boat. ''''' This can cause issues if you disembark on a deed, as you will not have full permissions on the vehicle.<br><br>
==Can I see my current location on the map?==
:You can play Wurm Online for free as a non-premium player as long as you wish. However, becoming a [[premium]] player will grant you a lot of benefits: you can raise your skills above 20 (meaning you will be able to perform many tasks that you wouldn’t be able to as a non-premium player, like building stone houses, riding horses, using sailing boats and driving carts, becoming a priest, and many other things), you can invite citizens to your village, and your account will never be deleted even after a long period of inactivity. So, in a nutshell: If you want to enjoy all of Wurm’s features and “really play the game” you should become a premium player! The monthly cost for a premium account is 8 Euros, if you buy premium time from the [https://shop.wurmonline.com Wurm shop]. You can also buy 30 days of premium time for 10 silver coins at any settlement token in-game. (First time premium for new players has been reduced to 2 silvers, if bought in-game)<br><br>
==How do I change the way my character looks?==
:In your inventory you find a hand mirror. Use it to change the look of your avatar, but please be aware that this item can only be used once - so use it wisely.<br><br>
==Where can I find more information?==
