I have played this game for nearly 700 hours as unlimited, and before that several hundred as Online. This is a true sandbox. There is no 'end game'. You find things to do, projects, friends. It can be brutal, grindy, infuriating, but also fulfilling, enjoyable, and even a little fun. Best played as multi player. Quite a few game mechanics make more sense when you have competition or help. All in all a very good way to spend your time if you have nothing else to do. Sure there are a few small issues, but the game Devs are still actively working on it. As for content, it is a sand box. Lots of games are called sand boxes, but very few truly are. This one is. There are not any Quest givers standing around telling you what to go do. Play your way.

You want to play a game with no pressure to have follow a certain path? Maybe you grow weary of killing mobs for hours on end just so some NPC can have his mob bits. You don't have to do anything in WURM that you don't want to, except feed and water you character. Everything else is optional. Set up a shop and sell goods to other player. Breed animals for food or crafting materials or pets or to sell. Build a cabin in the woods, a castle, a bridge, a kingdom. Become the baddest ass fighter on your server, big game hunter, magic user, even become a deity. The list goes on. Of course you could choose to do all of these, or none. That's the beauty of a true sand box game. Play how you want. There are even mods out there that can alter game mechanics or add or change items, abilities etc.

If you are looking for a game experience where you decide what to do with your time, this is the game for you. If you want run around and be an errand boy for NPC's you won't like WU very much.
