Wurm Online is a community-centric fantasy MMORPG fully developed in Java. The world has a real economy with a fixed pool of money and resources, and almost all items in the world are created by other players.
When the game was initially launched, it was pretty much just only a huge forest with mountain ranges and water, it is up to the players to build the towns and create the items needed for both everyday use and more exotic practices. Wurm Online neither has levels nor hitpoints. Instead, you have a set of skills that define your character, and a list of any unhealed wounds the character has.
Gameplay is very down to earth and community-based for most players, with each town serving as a small community. Towns also remain safe as long as the computer controlled guards are alive. You won't be able to attack other players or perform any other illegal activity inside the town without first killing all the guards. On the Home server PvP is limited and considered illegal, you may remain on the Home server as long as you wish to build up your skill or just terraform the land to your wish. PvP is fully enabled on the Wild server (which is also free of resource cap).
Gameplay is totally free at first and access limited to the Home server, but if you wish to develop your character beyond basic skills and access the Wild server, you will have to spend a monthly fee (5€/month)

Wurm Online Overview and Features:

Getting around is easy. You can use the WASD keys, and the cursor arrows. The interface is highly intuitive needing very little instruction.

F3 opens your inventory, right clicking on objects allows you to move them, take them (assuming you are strong enough) open them, eat them, examine them – most of the things you would expect to do with anything you can find.

You can create things, burn things, build things, flatten things, dig things, mine for things, chop things down, grow things, fight things, run away from things and even get eaten.

You can go anywhere and see anything and everything. And then, just in case you were enjoying yourself too much, you can get eaten again.

It’s Different

Wurm Online had to be different. What was the point of creating something that had been done time and time again? Yes, it would be 3d. Yes it would be multi-player. Yes, you can fight people on the Wild server and go round shouting about it. But it needs to be better than that.

And it is

- On Wurm, you can see for miles
- On Wurm, you can change the shape of the terrain by digging and moving dirt
- On Wurm, you can grow things, pave things, move things
- On Wurm, you can dig till you hit rock, then keep digging till you make vast caverns rich with iron ore, silver, and even gold.


On Wurm you can do all that, and more!

Wurm is a skill lead game. When you start, you can barely do anything, checking out your skills by pressing F2 will reveal a miserable set of skills. But from the moment you pick up a shovel and start digging, your digging skill starts to build. You chop down a tree and your wood cutting skill increases. Fight a deer with a sword and your fight skill increases. Many things in Wurm are hard to do, requiring patience and skill. But anyone can build skill in Wurm. Anyone can be a mason, a carpenter, a blacksmith, a weapons smith, a digger, a cook, a handyman (or woman), a tailor, a leather worker – it is all there to learn, just pick up a tool and get working!
