You must have the latest Java platform installed on your system to play Wurm Online. You may get Java [http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp here.]
After starting Wurm you see the Login Screen, where one can enter his/her Username and Password. Below it is a checkbox, labeled "Play as Guest" which is enabled by default. Guest accounts are disabled, so uncheck it, then enter Enter your name username and password, then click on the play button.
Upon logging in, your avatar will spawn (see [[Spawning]]) in a start village called [[Newtown]] (NT) or [[The Landing]]. Your start village depends on what server you chose to start on and what kingdom you have chosen to be in. You spawn here the first time you play, and also when you die (there are some exceptions).
Do not steal in and around NT or the Landingstart town. The guards will quickly make swiss cheese of your body. On home server it is against the game rules to steal but on the wild server you are allowed.
If you get stuck in a large pit or cave and definitely cannot get out or if you find a bug/glitch Etc, type '/dev' to contact any of the GM's/Devs if they are online. <br>(See [[Helpful People]]). Please use this feature sparingly.
* It is strongly recommended that you form or join a [[settlements|settlement]], as cooperation is a key part of succeeding in any task.
* Try to stay close to [[Newtown]] or [[The Landing]] your start town until you get the hang of the game.
== Death and dying ==
Also, you will be on a red and black screen with a little box in the middle, you will have to choose where you want to respawn. If you are dead and you cannot see the little box, type /respawn in your chat window.
While you have no deed, you will only be able to spawn at [[Newtown]] or [[The Landing]]your start town. When you are the owner or citizen of a [[settlement]], you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] on that settlement. If that settlement has any [[Alliance|allies]] you will be able to [[Spawning|spawn]] there also if you die within 50 tiles of their center.
