Some guys I know on the internet are playing an MMO called Wurm Online. Let me describe a typical session of Wurm Online:
You go walking out in the forest. The sun goes down. Lost in the woods, you freeze to death. You lose all the shit you were carrying and respawn. You go back and get your shit. This time when it goes dark, you make a fire. The fire attracts the attention of a bear and the bear eats you. Eventually you find a cave to shelter in. You live long enough to starve to death. You go out and start finding food to eat. Diving off a cliff to attack a dear, you break both legs and die a slow death unable to crawl back and tend to your wounds.
This game hates you.
With that in mind, here's some randomly selected chatlogs from during a Wurm session.
We need to find water.
I has many wound.
Seconded. I'm so thirsty I can't walk.
Holy shit a thing is behind this house I'm looking at.
Look from the front DO NOT GO AROUND THE BACK.
Holy fuck.
Haha.
Welp.
That is pretty much the opposite of water.
Hell are all these cavebugs doing outside caves.
Probably followed people out.
People probably ran in and went OMG and ran out.
Has Quinns drowned yet.
I'm still going. My horizons ahead and behind me are nothing but solid rock.
Tell you what though, the only reason I'm not drowned is that some inventive bastard who swam this trip before me did it with an inventory full of dirt, and dumped dirt every four minutes.
Haha.
Like, a single tile of dirt you can rest on.
Awesome.
It's probably safe for you guys to follow now.
Okay I am diving in.
Or maybe not.
I'm going to find a corpse with a single pocketful of dirt left.
This is it friends.
Dude do NOT miss the dirt tile.
You will die.
I just did the first one.
Definitely don't miss a single dirt tile. I missed one and. And.
End.
Ghhhhn 14% stamina.
I'm swimming on just hope against hope.
RIP Quinns. Missed a dirt tile.
This was the worst idea.
The idea is fine. Sort of. Shut up and swim.
As far as ideas go it's not the best idea anyone has had.
Oh fuck a bear.
Bears swim don't they.
get the fuck a bear
Bear next to lava fiend.
they swim fast, of claw and growl
Bears can swim BEWARE.
Okay so it turns out it was not a campfire in the distance after all.
help
It's a Young Lava Fiend,
