Wurm Online 1.0 is officially official today
It's official -- Wurm Online has finally released! Wait, haven't players been enjoying this free-to-play sandbox for many years already? Yup, that's quite true. Although folks could log in, subscribe, and participate in building the world from the ground up since 2006, though, the game was still technically in testing. So, what's an official release without new features? Wurm 1.0 brings more character customization, more animations, and the ability to add multiple stories to houses. Folks delving in today will also find new frontier servers where everyone is starting from scratch. If you have wanted to check out the game, but didn't want to be at a disadvantage, now's the time to jump in and start fresh. [Source: Code Club AB press release]
Wurm Online client update brings proximity voice chat, UI update, and more
The latest client update to Code Club AB's construction-oriented sandbox title Wurm Online brings a cornucopia of new features to the game, but perhaps none so interesting as the addition of proximity voice chat. That's right, players will now be able to vocally communicate with any players in the immediate vicinity without the use of third-party applications like Ventrilo or Mumble. Have you ever wanted to gather up your village group, sit around a fire, and tell stories or just enjoy a bit of idle banter? Maybe typing "oh god help there's a rabid pachyderm devouring my face" just isn't expedient enough when there's a rabid pachyderm devouring your face. Either way, players now have access to proximity voice chat, an updated UI, and much more. For the full details on the latest client update, just click on through the link below to Wurm Online's official site.
Wurm Online's studio changes its moniker
It may be a new name, but it's the same old team. The makers of Wurm Online have changed their studio name from Onetoofree to the more alliterative Code Club. According to the website, the name Onetoofree was always intended to be a temporary one and was too annoying to relay to people vocally (as you'd always have to spell it out). The old title also gave no strong impression as to what the studio was like or did. Code Club fits the team's visions and is aiming to be identified as an "exotic-style" company. After all, according to its site the company serves "hot coffee and cold drinks in our spacious jungle lounge." Because the name change hurts the company's Google rankings, the studio asked that everyone in the world -- or at least dedicated fans -- start Googling "Code Club" instead.
