The main reason I am unable to come up with complete definitions is that I am not an economist. But my personal ignorance is hardly an argument against government regulation of economy.

The system does cock up now and then, yes. But when you sum it all up, it does more good than harm. The problem is that you won't settle for anything less that perfection, which doesn't exist in real world.

Anyway, I find it odd that you disagree on having health and safety standards. I don't know about you, but I prefer living in a world where I don't have to fear getting trichinosis from eating pork or having a bridge collapse under me as I drive across.

As for pollution, what if there is no immediate victim other than nature itself?

Oh, and there is punishment/reward for bad/good governing. It's called elections.

No, you're right. Feel free to. :)

Uh, no offence but Wurm IS generally better than HnH. It's kinda hard to compare both games, many mechanics are different, graphics are different, skill system is different and the biggest difference - this is free and Wurm isn't. And that's what makes it a lot better. They make good money and they can develop faster. They have recruited some developers among players, some help for free, some get paid in-game money, some get paid RL coin, but they all are constantly working to improve the game. Just look at their news section and notice dates of updates and bug fixes - they happen twice a week, sometimes more often.

And what's going on here? When I only spoken about paying for game most of you immidietly said NO WAY.
This game will remain like this as long as it will be only hobby of people who make it. If they would earn a living for making it... They would FOR SURE put a lot more time and effort to fix and improve whatever comes to their minds.

I'd estimate HnH's playerbase counts around 600-900 people. If half of them would pay 3-5€ / month to get some fair benefits from premium account... I know it wouldn't be that much money but always something to start with...

no really, it was a bad game to begin with and then Notch left it to go make Minecraft

what you've posted here makes it sound even worse

my only problem with Wurm is the cost it has I mean the game does have a good skill system and stuff but the subscription cost in my opion isn't worth it so that's why I play this game no offense but if wurm became free to play I would jump ship right away

5€ per month is too expensive...? Even here in Poland it's not that much lol! I smoke 1 less bag of weed or 2 boxes of ciggarettes and I have that premium time... Where are you from, Zimbabwe? Oo
Plus they made it possible to pay in-game with in-game money.

Jackard, did you even check'd out how frequent updates they have now? And when were you plaing it? I have started playing soon after some big update and character reset and soon b4 Notch left and Wurm changed a lot since then. Eventhoe I'm not playing for like a year now I check back every week and I'm always pleased to see how good they are doing.

And what exacatly from things I have posted make it sound worse?
