@massivelyop IMO, they shot themselves in the foot when they abandoned Wurm Unlimited. Lot of people I knew played Online because they got into it from Unlimited.

@garpu With the new company in charge, I'm not sure anyone who was around for that decision is even still there!

@massivelyop I hadn't heard about the new acquisition. (Original linked article wasn't loading.) Doesn't surprise me that it blows up. It's always been niche, but it really needs the right group to grow it.

@garpu Yeah, it's a bad situation! https://massivelyop.com/2023/06/14/wurm-onlines-corporate-owner-plans-a-game-rebrand-and-a-new-integrated-cash-shop/ and https://massivelyop.com/2023/07/31/wurm-online-internal-comms-show-staff-discontent-mass-departures-over-conflict-with-owners/ should cover it - it never seemed like the new buyers were there to make the game better for sure. It's honestly a mess, and so sad for one of the big sandboxes in our genre. :(

@massivelyop Oh damn. :( I picked up Wurm Unlimited for a buck via a humble bundle, and it's an amazing game, if you like sandboxes.

@garpu @massivelyop Like I told somebody else earlier today, I'm going to be playing Wurm Unlimited for a bit while I step back and see what happens with Wurm Online. I love Wurm, and I hope they pull through this turmoil.
