I have a question....whats the difference in wurm online and wurm unlimited?!?!?!

[Yamashi]

They both look the same, wurm unlimited cost money and only runs on window and its on steam, wurm online runs on everything like, windows, mac, linux, but not on steam and its free...is there a difference in both games?

WU lets you create your own server and have GM powers. WU can also use mods amd maps mods etc...You get to control your game how you want in WU where WO you get what they give you.

Also, with Wurm Unlimited there are well run public & private servers where the skill-gain advancement doesn't have to be as masochistic as one would find on Wurm Online.

ah ok tks I think I get it now :)

Wurm Unlimited has a one time cost, pay once and play forever. You can host a private server and only run the server when you want to play (or are able to play). When the private server isn't running a lot of the over time things stop - animal and crop growth for example.

Wurm Online is more like free to try. A free player has a skill cap (for most skills) of 20, and the max is 100. To get over the 20 limit of the free-to-play you have 2 options:

1 - pay a subscription every month to Wurm Online
2 - earn 10 silver to pay for 30 days of subscription

I have no idea how much work it is to earn 10 silver, you'll have to ask someone else for that. Also in Wurm online the server is running most of the time. Which means that time is always progressing. So if you don't log in for a while (or can't because you have IRL responsibilities) your crops might be dead, or animals much older than when you left them, among other things.

Ooh alright thanks, so helpful, before I use to think they were both the same games using different clients but was wondering why 1 said it was free then I noticed both names were different lol

yes.and that is tha obvious reason that the devs wont create a Mac version for wurm unlimited...it forces a Mac user to have to pay a monthly fee to play wurm online..therefore..if they created a mac version for wurm unlimited...they would lose all of those monthly revenues.,,,,dont know who you have me confused with, but im not falling for it..if a version doesnt come out for wurm unlimited..then i simply just wont play the game at all !!!..and I with many others have been asking for months for a mac version for wurm unlimited !!

Wurm Online is really fun when they launch a new server for people to play on and start on equal footing, otherwise stick to wurm unlimited Wurm Online has been out for ages and you wouldn't be able to contribute if you joined now :)

Not the case at all. Steam uses different Mac libraries to us, thus we can't easily provide a Mac version. It is on the list of projects though.

Eh know what it's all good, I mean the game is kinda dead so yeah, and at least life is feudal has more players so I'd rather play that

[Dave33]

i hated wurm online as buying a merchant wa stoo expensive and i couldnt compete without one owing to rl currency im buying this as soon as i can

[Dave33]

actually i loved wurm online just not when it hits into freemium zone

[Dave33]

if single player offers all function like merchants to make silver and makes it accesible without paaying real money im in could someone confirm if this is the case?

In the server settings you can give a character GM powers and use it to spawn a trader, if that's what you mean.

[Dave33]

[Consumer567]

np, at least that's how it is in creative mode (there's also Adventure mode which I haven't tried).
