In an attempt to compensate the enormous losses encountered by players, the developers decided to reimburse all the [[Bank of Wurm|gold]] ever purchased by players, and include [[trinkets]] available from [[Settlement token|Settlement Tokens]]. Although a very generous act which reenforced the faith in the game for many players, there were a number of incidents in which players left the game altogether, unable to cope with the loss of their hard work.
After a period of around two weeks, the [[Home Server]] and the [[Wild Server]] were resurrected, bringing a new map with much less water and a more mountanous landscape. [[User:Notch|Notch]] returned briefly to ensure all went smoothly. The restart brought in many new bugfixes, and many older players returned to view what Wurm had become.
