How to revitalize the ship market?

I don't want to oversimplify this, but WU fixes all this except rifts, I quit playing WO before they were introduced and don't know/understand the concept or how it works.
I thought they fixed the unique drama by having them respawn every couple months?

I like the combat, but if it was more than just text based I think there'd be more players, and new players

>How to revitalize the ship market?

What if the ship's top speed decreased as repairs went down eventually meaning to have a decent ship speed you'd have to create a new one after x repairs. Though they'd have to actually grant them decay to begin with.

>WU fixes all this
While that may be true, not all players welcomed Wurm Unlimited, as it further fragmented the playerbase. Also it's never a guarantee that WU servers stay around for long. However Rolf's policy on the official WO servers is that even if a single player keeps playing on them, they won't be shut down. Also many players don't consider WU a real MMO experience.

>unique drama fixed by regular respawns
Almost all unique slayings remain private and heavy drama surrounds them still, so nothing was fixed really.

I'm not a regular rift goer either, but I'm interested what others think of them in their current state.

I really wish more people played this shit. It's too bad on fragmenting the playerbase, the ONLY reason I don't stick to WO is I"m not paying for 4 accounts every month, maybe if the sub was cheaper than normal mmo price it would have flown, but it's just too expensive to maintain.

The problem with that kind of change is that players consider them serious nerfs and usually get pretty upset.
Happened many times before when 'unintended' things were 'fixed' too. If a change is introduced, it should add things rather then make the Wurmians' life even harder. That's what experience shows anyway. Maybe the shipmakers wouldn't mind the nerf too much, but probably can't say the same for the customers.

New server up when?

Pretty sure that's true for many WU players. A monetization overhaul of WO could help with that.
It would be best to get rid of the monthly subscription fee, because this game almost forces you to play with multiple prem alts, unless you're part of a big community and can rely on others.

It's not going to be easy though, they would have to add a great amount cosmetic items to their cash shop/traders (Wurm players are more than willing to pay for those, apparently). And the fact that the 'pay-to-win' real life silver trading is a thing in Wurm makes things even more complicated.

>>382132037
Right. Maybe they should try server mergers instead this time.

This game really deserves more attention than it gets. It still has great potential, but many aspects of it need adjusting.

/v/ has a history with Wurm, I wonder how many still play after all these years.

Couple more questions:

What would you include in the tutorial?

>>382130394
I think they eventually will do something about combat. But that could take years (being optimistic). They are now experimenting with creature A.I. at least.

The upcoming GUI overhaul could turn out to be great or a complete disaster. They haven't shown any work-in-progress stuff of that yet.
