I haven't seen anything posted on this game yet so I thought I'd tell everyone here at Ragezone about it. The gameplay is spectacular, and in my opinion unmatched by any other Sandbox MMO. The game is Java based but has quite good graphics besides player and mob movements which have little animation. But past that, terrain and landscape graphics are enjoyable to view and the world is a month long exploration in its self.

Heres a little about what you can do. As far as I've seen it would be quite hard to sum it all up as what you can do in the game almost limitless. Due to poor advertising and the length of time you have to put into the game the player base is small.

Looks interesting... I don't like the way the models move though looks really poor..

Anyways I think I might give this game a try.

That just sold it, to avoid it that is.... The part where the character was 'digging' with the spade... XD

If you judge this game simply by character animation then you are missing out. Its a great game though anyone who likes sandboxs games should give it a try atleast. The game is also challenging and very time consuming to get what you want done.

You forgot - its a Pay to Play.

Its not a pay to play at all its free to play, there are servers you have to pay to play but other than that its not. Freedom Isles isn't pay to play nor is Epic. Deeds are premium only though.

I read form their website that you are locked to a maximum of 20 skill points, as well as locked at stat points. And to advance beyond that you have to pay to play. Based on the Wiki's, this gives you about a month of play before you are 'maxed out' on a particular character and have to pay to advance any further.

Downloading the game now I have nothing better to do IGN: ThunderZ

You can play Wurm completely FREE for as long as you wish. But there are some limitations. You cannot raise your skills above 20, which prevents you doing things like knocking down walls and building stone house, and leaves you much weaker than other players. Additionally, you cannot join all the Servers as some, like the Wild server are premium only.
You can convert to premium any time you wish simply by going to the Wurm Shop. There you can buy premium starting from just one month to a whole year and also buy in-game Silvers - the currency of Wurm.
Premium costs just 5 Euros per month!

5 euros isn't bad.

Yes that is true. But to get all skills to 20 it would take longer than a month. Also you can play the game with 20 capped skills though a Premium does enhance the game its self. Give it a try more than likely you'll want to purchase a premium. It is well worth it, plus its only around $13 USD for a premium. Though you have to pay via paypal and the rates are in euro's so the price fluctuates if paying in USD
Q: What is the skill caps or what does 3x mean next to a skill name ?
For free player max skill is capped at 20.0 Faith and Favor at 30.0 and Alignment at 100.0
For Paying Members (Premium hence forth) skills are capped at 99.99 and Alignment at 100.0
If you Premium Your skills get Capped at 20.0 till you get Premium again then higher than 20.0 skills will go back to what they where.
The 3x Can mean your at max level for that skill as a free player and it will only go up if you go premium.
The other reason you can get 3x is that you died and lost some skill but will regain it at 3 times the normal speed till your skill is back to where it was.
