		+	Wurm is a game with huge possibilities. While you build your house it is always valuable to have a browser window open on the wiki and to read through articles about things you may need or want.
		+
		+	Many people seem to complete their house and then think "What now?"
		+
		+	There are several valuable things that you can o later whether you are on a basic account or a premium account.
		+
		+	== Join A Village ==
		+
		+	Post on the [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 forums] asking for a village that would like to have you join.
		+
		+	Being in a village adds a lot of fun to the game and there is almost always a place for new characters whether they are premium or basic.
		+
		+	Villages are great for helping out with better tools and good advice on how to develop your skills.
		+
		+	Learning Fighting is often a lot easier in a village.
		+
		+	== Set Some Goals ==
		+
		+	Playing Wurm without longer term goals can be an exercise in frustration.
		+
		+	As you made your own home you probably found that some kinds of thing appealed to you and that some did not. Aiming to become good in those things that you particularly enjoyed is a good way to continue into the game.
		+
		+	As you do that you will almost certainly find at least another couple of things that you enjoy as you learn about the game in more depth.
		+
		+	Playing on a basic account gives you ample time to explore Wurm but getting a premium account can and usually does make a vast difference to the game and is also extremely inexpensive.
		+
		+	How many games do you know that let you play fully for as little as 10E for two months? As a new player, you can get started out as a premium player with enough cash to buy some moderately good tools if you get the 1 month premium + 5s package for the first month and switch to the 2 months premium package thereafter.

 Remember to make the nature of your problem clear and that the GM's may be busy. It can take only seconds or an hour or more for a GM to reply. However, they are generally as helpful as the game rules allow them to be.

 For at least some of the missions you will have to leave NT and probably travel for ten minutes or more away from the town.
 Wurm is a vast world but the area near NT is relatively easy to find your way around if you '''make sure to take careful note of your surroundings as you walk around'''.

 ## Secure your land by fencing it off using only QL 1 planks and rods so that the fence will rot after one real month or so, thus allowing you to expand without having to rip the fence down.
