Hi Cornicus you could always try out the Deliverance server.I have a new deed you are very welcome to set yourself up on to try out stuff.
Chaos is a pure pvp server. If you try again you should pick one of the pve servers in the Freedom cluster. A good description can be found here: Server types - Wurmpedia The "older" servers (Independence, Deliverance, Exodus, Celebration) have a lot of deeded land and it is not so easy to find a good spot to settle. Xanadu is extremely large, so there still is a lot of free land there.
If your ever lost without any tools, there are ways to get back on your feet using crude tools. I play on Xanadu myself, and there is a lot of space here, there are also many settlements willing to house new players until they get on their feet. Joining a friendly and established deed in Wurm is the best way to go at first, they can help you get started on the right foot, instead of spending days or weeks scrounging around the wilderness barely making any progress, and remember The Wurmpedia is your best friend.
Thanks. Now that I see it in the Wurmpedia, it makes sense. I could have sworn that the server map indicated PvE on the left and PvP on the right, with the Chaos island being on the far left. Oh well. :? From what I'm reading, I have to figure out some way to get on a ship in order to sail to another server, such as Xanadu. Not sure how feasible that is being a starter avatar without any gear, but we'll see. Perhaps I can make a crude knife to make a crude hatchet to make a crude raft and piggyback on one of those boats heading east! Oh, wait... different game.
It may be easier to create a new character and start again - this time on Xanadu. You won't lose much, I guess.
Any one considering Wurm Unlimited? I played Wurm a few years back and was considering getting back into it when I saw this, Wurm unlimited FAQ and the link to purchase
I'll be curious how that works out with WU. Holding off getting it myself for now, but I can see how it might be a lot of fun for a guild to work with. BTW, I've decided to stay on Chaos for a while, at least until I skill up enough to build a boat and travel. Looks like Xanadu is pretty crowded and laggy, judging by comments I'm seeing. If anyone has an Alt on that server, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for you.
Well, Xanadu is so much bigger than all the other servers (16 times the area of Deliverance), so it definitely is the least crowded server of them all. But due to its size it can be a bit laggy at times, that's true.
Wurm is one of those games I've thought about playing from time to time. I didn't know that Wurm Unlimited was coming to Steam tomorrow and it has an option to host a server, sounds interesting. Has anyone seen this and/or thought about hosting a private server?
One of the Devs from Wurm Online (Budda) has made an Australian hosted Wurm Unlimited server, I think the skillgain is x3 at the moment so more like the Epic server in that regard. Given that it's an actual dev running it I think this has a likely chance of staying around for awhile so your hard work won't dissapear without a trace. The dev was the one who also created a mapmaker for Wurm Unlimited so perhaps we will see some more interesting tools/mods appear from him. link is here KangaWU.com.au P.S. Oh Comicus, one of the people in my settlement take trips to chaos semi-occasionally, if you need to get back I may be able to try and organise you a lift sometime. Barring that if you ask around in chat you may get lucky, there is a bit of trade that goes on between servers (continents).
There is a Wurm Unlimited server being run by a ToGger and a few of us playing on it. Great server. http://steamcommunity.com/app/366220/discussions/2/483368526572864046/
