Updated with Deliverance information such as information on inter-server travel via boat.
== Introduction ==
Wurm currently has three types of server: Tutorial, Freedom (consisting of Independence and soon Deliverance) and Wild. A fourth type called 'Epic' (scenario lands) is planned. Currently not much information is known about this the Epic server type as it's still in the planning and development phase. There is also a login server and a [[test server]] (which can be accessed via the wiki - see the link bar at the top left).

: <sup>[4]</sup> Artifacts can only be found on the Wild server. See [[Locate Artifact]] for discovered artifacts.
: <sup>[5]</sup> Premium can be purchased here, but you must move to another server to gain the benefits of being a premium member. Note that time starts running on your purchase of premium time as soon as its paid for, so it's advisable to do this only just before you move server.
: <sup>[6]</sup> Player [[Community Assistant|Community Assistants ]] (PAsCAs) are also present on Entry and Freedom servers to help new players.
: <sup>[7]</sup> Rolf has stated [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=60931.msg543921#msg543921 here] that Deliverance is "just an open extension" to the world".
=== Tutorial server ===
The Tutorial server (Golden Valley) is where all new accounts are created. The aim of the Tutorial server is to introduce the player to the game mechanics. Players may then move on from the Tutorial server to other server types using [[portal]]s. Premium must be purchased to be able to move to the Wild servers, this server. Premium time has no effect till the player leaves the server.The - the Tutorial server only allows basic accounts, so skills are limited to a maximum of 20. This means resource quality is also limited to 20. There are also no gods or altars present on the Tutorial server.
The tutorial was built on the Golden Valley server. New players are spawned in the tutorial area and cannot leave other than through the portals to the Wild and Freedom servers. However accounts that were active before the tutorial was created are currently able to stay outside the tutorial area. These accounts are able to transfer to the other servers, but some have chosen to remain. PvP, theft, deeds, and [[guard tower]]s are not allowed on the Tutorial server.
Fully owned by the native kingdom. The entire server is automatically claimed as kingdom territory, so guard towers are not required to plant deeds.
Theft, PvP, and other kinds of grieving are frowned upon, and are bannable offences offenses in many instances. [[GMs ]] will police these servers as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically. Moderators police the kingdom chat channels to ensure the chat rules are followed.
A new second Freedom server named Deliverance has been [http://www.wurmonline.com/forumblog/from-the-boss/deliverance/index.php?topic=60931.msg543853#msg543853 announced for releasereleased], intended as an extension the server can be accessed through a portal at the end of the worldTutorial or by sailing across the South border of Independence.
See the [[Freedom FAQ]] for more details.
Travel from the Tutorial server is one-way only. Only premium characters can transfer to Wild. All characters can transfer to Freedom. Once you are on another server you may not go back to the Tutorial server, unless you start a new character.
You can travel between the two Freedom servers via boat. Sailing through the South border of Independence will place you in the North of Deliverance, and similarly sailing through the North border of Deliverance will place you in the South of Independence.
