Crops Gonna Rock, Pumpkins Gonna Pump #WurmOnline

Ah, patch days. Glorious, and hectic. My apologies for the lack of posts as of late, but for those who have not heard I’m now doing public relations for Wurm (in an official capacity). You will probably see just as many Wurm Online posts here as before, I’ve been writing about the game for a few months now as my ‘game of choice’ simply because I adore it. That does mean a few things here on MmoQuests will take a back seat (like blog posts, and twitter updates) on days like today. Don’t worry! There are good things in the works causing post delays. Like, new crop graphics!

Pumpkins are still being worked on, but crops now have fantastic new graphics. If you’re not used to them, you may want to right click and examine the crop (skill depending) and see how far along it is. If you skill is high enough you won’t have to do this because a simple mouse over will tell you when it’s ready.

That’s not the only exciting thing added today. New heath bars showed up on the UI, along with (drum roll please) double doors!

Double doors function as a regular door with one huge bonus – they allow you to ride a cart through them. Have a bsb stored in your house that you’ve never been able to reach before with a cart full of heavy goods? Now you can. Personally, I’m incredibly excited about this update, and I can’t wait to see what else is coming!

If you haven’t logged in to check out the new changes, get to it (be sure you snag the latest client updates). As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
