A hello from planet Wurm
I thought I'd post some stuff from Wurm. I only found it a scant three years ago, but was immediately hooked; it's such a great game and a shame I hadn't heard of it before.
The world of Wurm Online is a persistent open world sandbox mmorpg, with more than a decade of history. It doesn't have as much publicity as its younger sibling Minecraft, nor the slickness of a fresh modern million-dollars game -- but if an oldschool, slow-paced, true sandbox game with a strong community sounds appealing to you, you should maybe check it out.
You can find and get it on website or steam; see also the official youtube channel (trailer). As its motto says:
Wurm is waiting.
