Wurm has three types of servers, entry, home and wild. Entry servers are where new accounts are created. Home servers are the home of '''Note:''' This is a specific kingdompreemptive article, while wild servers are battlegrounds existing between home servers. Currently there Freedom is a [[Golden Valley]] entry server, Jenn-Kellon not yet up and home server ([[Jenn002]]), a Mol-Rehan home server ([[Molr001]]) and a wild server ([[Wild001]])still exist. There is also a login server, [[Jenn001]]Freedom should be up on the 16th June.
All servers share the same decay rate except for Golden Valley that Wurm currently decays 3 times faster than has three types of server, entry, freedom and wild. A fourth type called epic (scenario lands) is planned. Currently not much information is know about this server type as its still in the other serversplanning and implementation phase. It There is impossible to chat across servers boundaries, even with fellow villagers or friendsalso a login server and a test server.

'''Note:''' Both JK Home and MR Home will be shut down shortly to be replaced by a new non PVP server called freedom.

=== Home Entry servers are where all new accounts are created. The server details ===contains JK,MR and HOTS, but HOTS is limited to PAs and GMs. The aim of the entry servers are to let new players try the game for free in almost all its glory. Players may then move on from the entry servers to other server types using portals. Premium must be purchased to be able to do this and has no effect till the player leaves the server.Entry servers only allow basic accounts so skills are limited to a maximum of 20. This means resource quality is also limited to 20. There is also no gods or altars present on the entry servers.
Fully owned by PVP,theft,deeds and Towers are not allowed on the native kingdomentry server. The entire On entry servers decay is also 3 times faster and the server is automatically claimed as kingdom territory, so guard towers are may be periodically reset (has not required to plant deedsoccurred yet).
Theft, PVP, and other kinds of griefing are frowned upon, and are bannable offences in many instances. In addition, stealing and PVP typically result in loss of [[reputation]]. As reputation drops, the player becomes an [[outlaw]] and eventually a [[blacklighter]]. At this point, the player is kicked off the server into the wild.=== Freedom servers ===

To encourage people to visit the wild server home === Wild servers have a cap on ore [[QL]], currently 50.===
=== Wild servers are battlegrounds where different kingdoms clash together. There is no pre-owned land, it must be claimed by constructing guard towers. Deeds can only be placed within the territories claimed by the towers. Full PVP is enabled between kingdoms, as well as internally within your own kingdom. The White Light and Black Light are found on the wild server details ===. Each kingdom on wild has a leader and offices granted to players by the leader.GMs generally avoid intervening in wild server affairs. However, excessive griefing and other violations of the game rules will be punished as appropriate. On wild servers monster are tougher and the terrain is more harsh.
