brohan's dead, but wurm comes and goes, so i'm making this thread for people who might still care
wurm unlimited is on the humble bundle for $1 right now
i'm going to buy a few extra keys to hand out to people who missed this when we start playing again
also, did humble bundle change their shit at some point? i remember being able to pay 3 cents to get "pay what you want" but now it has to be a dollar

Dollar for a steam key.
Anything less and you get the humble download link
Saw that this morning, it's only had a noteworthy discount once so I jumped on it.
Yeah, and that happened years ago, didn't it? The only downloadable stuff for this one seems to be Van Helsing soundtracks. They've definitely also gotten away from DRM-free mainly shit.
Don't bother. The user's who play it always fuck it up and destroy the community over their paranoia. It's not worth it.
i don't remember this happening in any of the settlements i played with
we had the entry exam but it's not really that hard, just have to show you know what Holla Forums is
have fun
to which i reply "Let it die."
Neat
Oh
It's a cycle:
wurm thread > anons play on a public server happily in their own town > anons get worried for some bogus reason > one camp wants to stay on the public server while the worried camp thinks they can successfully do a private one > community now fractured over the issue > worried anons start a private server > lose half the community because stats don't transfer > drama on the private server > wtf i hate wurm now > server dies > repeat
The original Borderlands wasn't tainted with Burch's writing so it's not THAT bad.
cheers big ears
Is this some kind of MMO?
Why should I play it?
it's a multiplayer peasant simulator, there are a ton of skills and professions, and everything except for what the admins make is player-created
unlimited is an offshoot of the main game, wurm online, which is actually an MMO but has a subscription system like EVE's, while unlimited uses dedicated servers hosted by players and you only have to pay for it once
Does buying the game make it into something that isn't a first person idle game?
And we have a server or what?
It was made a game made by Notch before he started working on Minecraft. Minecraft has a lot of DNA from Wurm, though Wurm has significantly more breadth and depth when it comes it mechanics outside of building. It's more like a virtual world where you live and work with other people.
I very nearly got started on the pirate server but lost steam (not that kind), got caught up in other things and didn't go back kind of got an itch for it now.
Did drama occur last time then?
We had a couple of servers, but they never work out. There's one consistent public server and we quickly became the most powerful group on the map, but there's a love-hate relationship between us and the admin.
I'm in the no camp when it comes to user servers because they are simply not as reliable and have killed the game twice. I stopped playing before Brohan, so I can only assume it was something to do with it being publicly advertised or underfunded.
our last server, brohan, was mostly drama-free, the most we had was a feud with 4chan's kingdom
i think the drama he's talking about was WRC, which was a shitshow run by incompetent admins
My biggest issue with Wurm is that whenever we as a group play, we often end up absolutely steamrolling anyone and everyone to the point where the only factions left are usually a couple autistic chucklefucks with ties to the server moderators who, despite using every dirty trick available, STILL get force-fucked by our collective might time and time again.
Well, when WRC accidentally nuked the first map and caused the Great Exodus, that was pretty bad. Broschwitz was mostly drama-free unless some fag would go deforesting.
this didnt happen on brohan though
we just bulldozed everything and epic made all investment meaningless when people who knew how to grind could max a profession in a day
shit was slowing down because of this before we raided babylon, but with the pvp element completely gone after the raid everyone just eventually left
admins were fine on brohan. 4chan was ok on brohan. stragglers from other internet corners were ok. the community was absolutely ok on brohan but there was just a couple missteps and now wurm-out means there will have to be an extended wait for another server.
although, with this sale, there's a possibility that since a server could possibly be legit that means advertising on official wurm forums could be a thing which could mean a more stable population baseline.
after the last run I got thinking how much this game would benefit from a massive tailored map with all kinds of secrets but i dont know how feasible that is since i dunno how robust the mapping tools are. setting up that sort of thing seems like it'd be really fun.
Unfortunately despite the game having this issue ever since Brotopia like nearly a decade ago, Rolf still hasn't balanced the game for groups of 30+ people just jumping on and making the game their bitch in a week.
this is one of the things i'm hoping can change if we jump on buyfag servers
if the server population's large enough we'll be outnumbered and can't just rest on being better than everyone else
if we really want a challenge i think there are a few russian servers
also while we're on the topic of brohan:
pls never again with champions
they are so hilariously broken. they seem cool for WO but not WU
Yeah, WRC was probably a mistake but Brosmouth was worth it.
This is an issue,a good handfull of user's quit due to feeling like they weren't needed,this was exacerbated with ebin which made specialization not worth it anymore and you could easily grind whatever skill you chose to to top levels,what i also noticed is that after the initial week or 2,bitching starts to occur between oldfags and new regarding wastefullness of mats,people acting like its virtual India where you can dump whatever wherever and disregard properly labeled storage facilities because they can't be fucked to not be a neet online aswell,other then a few hiccups here and there Brohan was the most fun i had in a good longtime,the beginning of the settlement were the best days imo
This sort of attitude led to me hoarding anything and everything I harvested that was of any value whatsoever. I didn't want materials I'd gathered and might at some point want to use myself immediately vanishing behind a 12-wall deep storage bunker located 4 miles below the earth's crust, all because someone who logged on for half an hour every 2 months was our best blacksmith/leather worker/alchemist etc. and it'd be a waste if we let anyone else touch those materials.
I cracked the server so we could host for piratefags, then I started a demon invasion. Server owner decided the fire wasn't going to rise. Sadness. That was like a year ago.
was that the Holla Forums-only server where we were way too splintered for our numbers?
who owned that one?
What the fuck is this shit? Wurm controls like a drunk donkey and it looks like it was specifically designed to be as autistic as possible.
Any of you fags want these games?
I grabbed them both. Thanks.
Are those Van Hellsing games any good? I might get it just for that and Wurm.
Here is Borderlands if anyone wants it
Steam had a winter sale event where they gave you free games if you got certain achievements and stuff, but you had to own at least 1 game in your account, Russians bought HIB en masse and made alternate accounts to win tons of free games and trade them to their main accounts causing a complete drought within 2 days of the event.
F
Pick an animal charity from a majority white state like Montana and donate 100% to them?
I know Borderlands, but what about that Van Helsing game? is it any good? It's the first time I've ever heard of it.
So is anyone playing?
Brohan started up like a week after someone from here made a server. They convinced him to shut it down and make everyone move to their server but a bunch of people just quit instead. Literally no Holla Forums server has been without drama about moving servers.
Heres my memelands key if anyone wants it.

...
I hear it's alright.
Want to play together?
How long ago was that server in your pic? I could've sworn that town was called broschwitz.
That pic is WRC before the map got corrupted. Broschwitz was the second WRC map.
Thank you user. Someone recommended it to my step mom, so i guess i could play it with her or something. Did the servers ever get replaced.
I believe they did. I recall hearing something about that recently.
Now owned by IGN.

Welp i booted the game up again. I recalled Holla Forums being a bit harsher than the game really deserved like always. My 30 minute play session proved me wrong, and Holla Forums right. Alright, where is that ini file, i can't stand that 60fov it's locked to. What type of garbage human made this game?
...
Let it die.
If we were to come in a norman server and act like niggers like we did in brosmouth I'd be okay with it, though.
The only server where that seems feasible is Skolotopolis or whatever
Is it time to return to Brohan?
You know what would make it so much more tolerable? If you didn't have to invest so much into constructing something and lose all the resources and time when you inevitibly knocked it down. This game is nothing but grinding, and the only way to have any fun is the time-tested HOTS tradition of bots. I miss the towns, I miss some of you lads, but at a certain point it always comes down to an unacceptable trade-off for time invested. That's why nobody ever stuck around. I enjoyed farming, I enjoyed terraforming, but what's the point when everyone else has fucked off because the game gave them no reason to stay?
Yeah to me it feels like to make it a bit more engaging it requires a big map with all kinds of custom shit to do and customized timers for skills so making stuff isn't such a chore.
A nice balance between building speed and XP gains would be neat. I dunno how feasible any of this is with the tools available.
Nu/v/ in a nutshell. The only game being played is memes, the real gamers left a long time ago.
Actually, would anyone be interested in starting out on some server? Nothing too serious. Just to get comfy and make a little deed and see whats up
I remember at least 7 years ago liking the look of wurm because you could get on a boat and be comfy and sail to distant lands to set up a little cabin in the woods. Is it still that comfy?
Yeah you can still do that. A buddy and I once made a row and sailed 9 hours straight across the 8k map because the land around spawn was fucked. Ended up at a giant steppe with oak, cedar, and maple forests around.
Explain. When i was last playing we stole their boats and killed every single cuckchanner. Did they simply left after being bullied to death?
I would stick with Wurm a whole lot more if there was a profession that didn't boil down to "wait for the action meter to complete".
Yeah like a few years ago, where have you been? They were also just recently bought out by IGN apparently.
naw we just burnt out from lack of stuff to do
i have to hand it to them for being so resilient. a lot of them still played after the sacking of their capital.
Borderlands is shit.
So i got the game. Is there a Holla Forums server to play on?
FOR ALL PEOPLE LOOKING TO PLAY
There is no Holla Forums server at the moment and there probably wont be for a little while, probably until the new year at the earliest. If you want to play in the meantime then try joining one of the bigger servers and making a village on it.
A new serb for new year sounds nice. I still say this game would be tons of more fun if player interaction utilized Vive hand sensors and such. I can only dream. Also Trump anniversary is in a month exactly from now. Nov 16. I'll repost pics from that day later.
I've been mulling over whether or not to just play a normalfag server for a while now. I'm guessing with this sale a lot of them are going to see a big boost.
Sklotopolis has had like 40-70 people the past couple days. I was considering Mythmoor as well but I dunno with those XP rates professions would be meaningless. I just wanna get comfy long term on a server and ply my trade instead of blowing through everything in a week.

I keep telling you faggots to give it a rest, that our burnouts need more than 3 weeks between autism fiestas to get back into the spirit, but you keep on trying to reanimate the corpse, and you're going to scare people off from ever bothering with Holla Forumsurm again.
And we absolutely need to be on a server with normalfags to bully that won't ban us for it. Which I'm not sure exists, since when I went through a public server list a few months ago they all had 30,000-word rules lists written by Swedes.
I can't find a rules list but pic related says it all. You can't possibly expect a euro server to not be turbocucked with meddling autist nanny mods.
I don't see a problem with this. I don't think any of the "bro" towns would violate this. Something like "KILLALLNIGGERS" of course would.
What's more troubling is they don't allow macros, and strangely enough they didn't say anything about having multiple clients running.
I dunno. Personally I'm getting burnt out enough on imageboard communities and video games in general that I'm gonna try it.
Me and a buddy just started on
If you're playing, say hi to Schlomo and Chaim
this is of relevance
sklotopolis.freeforums.net
Novus launched 10 days ago and is their new server. It shows in the launcher but you're not supposed to connect to it. It's part of the Sklotopolis cluster. I guess when I start playing later tonight that's where I will head.
