Changes

Of course you can! In fact, you are encouraged to do so. Joining a group of other players will make your new life in Wurm Online so much easier. Try to use the official forums or the “Freedom” chat to look for settlements recruiting new villagers, or just ask around.<br><br>

Of course you are also welcome to start out as a lonesome hermit! This may be harder, but on the other hand will provide an interesting challenge. Begin by finding a suitable place with some trees (for wood) and some rocky slopes (for your first iron mine), preferably not too far from water. (Also read the answer to the next question regarding rules and code of conduct.) Then start by chopping some [[wood]], make planks and shafts, and mine some [[iron]]. You can also use the “[[Rummage]]” option on rock tiles to look for low-quality iron rocks. To open a [[mine]], you need to find a rock tile. Activate your pickaxe, right-click the rock tile and select “Tunnel”. Repeat until a tunnel entrance opens – then continue mining until you find an iron vein. This can take some time! Once you have enough planks and nails you can start building your first little wooden shack! (Yes, in this game you can build your own house, a structure persisting in the world and seen by every passer-by!)<br><br>
