message: Overall I'd say this is Start-Class: primarily because of a complete lack of sources and also due to the content of the article. A couple of example articles you could use are World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI. Neither are perfect, but parts of each one would be useful to help you get a good idea of the structure and content of parts of this article. Here are some ideas to improve it further:
*As I say, references. WP:CITE, WP:CITE#HOW, WP:CITET. Also, when using sources, remember to only use reliable sources. I imagine most of the information can be cited using the game's website, but do this as a last resort: secondary sources should be used wherever possible to assert notability.
*On a similar note, to assert real-world notability you need a Reception section to give it some real-world context: how did reviewers react to it? I'm also rating this article Low-importance, so the Reception section could be much more straightforward than those in the aforementioned articles: have a look at the Reception sections at WP:VG#Example articles for some good examples.
*Also, you should remove those reviews from the external links sections: really, they should be references for a Reception section so be featured in the Reception section - WP:CITE#HOW.
*Lead needs expansion per WP:LS - summarise the entire article in two/three paragraphs.
*All images need their resolutions reduced and to correspond with the licensing/templates already there, fair use rationales - WP:FURG.
*Final Fantasy XI is a good example of how to write an MMO's Gameplay section without turning it into a game guide. Any information which isn't useful to a non-player of the game shouldn't be included in this article.
*Lists should be removed and converted to regular prose: it looks and reads a lot nicer that way.
*One- and two-sentence paragraphs should be merged: short paragraphs make the article less pleasant to read and should be avoided wherever possible.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. Hope this helps, and seasons greetings, Una LagunaTalk 10:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[WP:VG]] assessment

message: :Image:Wurm1.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wurm1.JPG

message: Removed deletion template, article is current, new edits added citing recent press coverage and links to fansites. Wurm is notable game as being unique in MMO's and adds to wiki information as such, wiki would be sadder without it and lacking information about general game evolution in the present day.

thread_title:  Removed Deletion Template 

message: Although it is probably appopriate to mention that wurm is hackable is it really necessary to link to the resources on the article? --Grahamedgecombe (talk) 12:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Macroing/hacking details 

message: There is currently an ongoing controversy on Steam about Wurm Online staff abuse of commercial customers, including consent to players cyberbullying other players, staff cyberbullying and ableism towards ASD players, peculiar definition of bug abuse, bans for normal PVP against staff members and their acquaintances and false advertising. I think this matter should be touched in WO article. More information:
