Sklo was a longtime Wurm Online player. He is still active on forums there but I think plays only WU now. When WU was released in 2015, he and a few friends started a WU public server named .. Sklotopolis. I have no idea where the original name of the character 'Sklo' came from (I believe it is the word for 'Glass' in some languages) , but he was already a longtime veteran player when I started WO in 2011.

2011! An old old player then. I don't even remember when I first played Wurm. 2010 maybe(?) I remember there was no character customization. We were all the same wearing green cloths  |

"Correct me If I Am Wrong" Correct. Sklotopolis was the first deed of Sklo, Engi and me on Wurm Online, which was located on Independence. Since we had a great time but the deed has been disbanded long time ago we decided to take up the name and choose it for our server. We had no idea that this server would still be a thing in 2019 back when we started in 2015. The name Sklo was a random alt name, which became a thing when it became the main character of Sklo. Basicly the name Sklo is known from various events on the WO freedom cluster, especially for the Akhenaten tournaments which have been huge events back in the days. We tried to keep a bit of a history over the years: www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Player:Sklo |

We were all the same wearing green cloths  I remember those characters too -- and we used to stand on horses backs to "ride" them  Sklo actually predates even those Freedom Isles characters ...

The zombies were an ingame event spawned by the former lead art developer, MrBloodworth  You can read more about them here
One bystander recounts:
""I still remember getting there with my alt. We got there as Bloodworth was wrapping up his event.
We're going up the road to FM and people are shouting "GET THE HELL OUTA HERE!!!" in Local, then we see a wave of zombies slowly coming down the road.
Next thing you know it's like FM is being evacuated. Back at the dock most of the noobs are hopping on this Cog and they speed away.
I both liked and hated the zombies.
Hated because I needed to get up there and do things.
Liked because it made the three hours sailing half around the server worthwhile."" |
