Now set sail and may the best fisher win!
Patch done!
To celebrate the update we have discounted all pearl boats as well as fuel by 25% for the next 7 days!
Dear Fishermen,
we are going to patch the servers to apply some changes to the boat pricing and stats (e.g. Pearl Boats are now more fuel-efficient) as well as introduce a way to purchase Repair Kits and Fuel via C-Coins.
For this we will shut down the servers 3:00-8:00 CET tomorrow / 6PM - 11 PM PDT today.
Your WoF-Team
Final Hour - 30% more Pearls!
There is only one hour left until our Mixed Weekend Marathon ends. And for this last hour you get a 30% DISCOUNT on ALL pearl packages above 14,99! Grab it as long as it’s available!
Your World of Fishing Team
Mixed Weekend Marathon starting 17.09.2016
ATTENTION! We noticed that you all like the GM-Events. In fact, there were so many players for the last event that the next one will be extended to encompass an EVENT MARATHON starting on Saturday at 00:00 CET and ending on Sunday at 23:59 CET.
The Rules:
The GM-Event will change every sixty minutes so that with every passing hour you have a chance to buff your stats, whether that be getting a higher price for your fish or increasing your damage, and so on.
EVERY HOUR A NEW GM-EVENT!
Don’t miss it!
Your WoF Team
GM Event 15.9.2016
Attention please! We will have a more-or-less spontaneous GM-Event TODAY (15.09.2016) from 20:00PM until 21:30PM (CET). We don’t want to tell you what exactly the event will be, but it might be a good idea to catch some big sharks and store them in your livewell.

Updated FAQ
we are getting a lot of questions and see some recurring themes in the reviews so we want to address them here:
Is WoF an authentic Fishing simulator?
While we believe WoF is the most realistic Fishing MMO, the gameplay itself is more arcade style and heavily influenced by MMORPGs. However, the game has an advanced Fish AI and many other simulation factors.
Why is WoF to easy and simple?
If you play the tutorial and first maps you might feel the gameplay is like that - but it is not once you level up and try to catch bigger fish! Suddenly the right equipment and bait becomes important as well as finding the best spots. Fighting with the fish can take up to 20 minutes as you are moving your boat and executing swings at the right time - the game becomes a challenge even for Core Gamers.
Is WoF Pay to Win?
Absolutely not! You can enjoy all the content without spending money and in fact a lot of high level players have never spend a dime. It will just take more time and effort to catch fish but you can still get them. Further more most items are available in 30day versions for In-Game Currency (Shells) which you earn from selling your fish (don't throw away!). Purchased Pearl items are mostly marginally better and permanent (while you get some timed Pearl items for free as quest rewards!).
But I read I have to buy fuel...
Yes, you can buy fuel. However you will get Fuel for free as a daily login reward and from completing quests which you can even collect and store. In the beginning you cannot use up all your fuel and even with big boats in high levels the free amount is enough for a few hours of gameplay every day!
I read the Pearl items are only rented for 30 days
This is also not really true, even though the items in the beginner pack are timed (to give you a chance at trying them for low price) and you get some timed Pearl Items for free as quest rewards. But Pearl Equipment, Boats and Clothing are permanent (this system was changed by us)!
How can I play WoF on Steam?
To play WoF on Steam you need to create a (new) InselGames account which will be linked to your SteamID. You will do this from within the game, not our website!
Find more information here.
What are the Starter Pack or Pro Pack DLC for? How does it work?
The starter pack DLC gives you Pearls normally priced 14,99€ (~16,50USD) for less than half (with the launch discount) which should be enough for a full range of (permanent) Pearl items. You will get a Steam DLC code and use this in our Pearl shop. More info here.
The Pro Pack is intended for higher level players who want to get full Pearl equipment - with 62.500 Pearls (worth 49,99€) at a great discount you can afford everything you need and more!
Just note: You can use one Voucher each per game account.
The tutorial voice is horrible!
Yes... we know. The current voice was a placeholder and we did not manage to update it with the final voice overs which are already recorded. We will do this with the next patch!
The game is laggy when I put my fish in the livewell or accept a quest!
Yes, we are aware of that. With the Steam launch we more than quadrupled our player base and thus encountered performance issues with our servers. We have already more than doubled our server capacity and the CPU usage is below 50% so we are trying to identify the bottle neck. We believe the game is still very playable but understand this is an inconvenience for which we are really sorry! (Please keep in mind the Steam CCU does not include the web users which are on the same server)

Pro Pack DLC released
for those of you who want to get new equipment, fancy clothing, a fast new boat or just an extra portion of fuel from our shop, we just released the Pro Pack DLC which gives you 62.500 Pearls (In-Game Currency) worth 49,99€ (~55USD) at a great discount - and for one week it is an additional 20% off!
Since we get a lot of support tickets please note:
Buying this DLC will give you a unique voucher code for use in the Word of Fishing Pearl Shop that grants you the Gold Package (value 49,99€) without further charge. Continue to create your account and character, then follow the link to the Pearl Shop, select the Gold package (or any bigger package) then enter the voucher code. The price will be reduced by 49,99€ (either you will get the Gold package for free or pay less for any bigger package). The voucher code is valid for 12 months.
