* Various small other quick fixes such as stamina regain when turning and dragging, typos etc.
== 121107 Preparation Update no 1 ==
* Due to a bug when initially releasing this update a lot of creatures escaped their pens. We apologize for this. We will not make a rollback this time since it would mean downtime until tomorrow. We hope you can acknowledge that we are in a state of heavy development and thank you for your continued support.
* A new feature in the system is that relatively smart creatures like trolls and goblins will escape unlocked pens. They will however not use village settings for passing gates. Only players will be affected by that setting.
* New 3d collision detection system, mainly intended for multistory houses.
* Beds are now usable regardless of arch walls

* The recent Wind of Ages change was reverted and modified so that low stamina has the same effect as it used to. However, the effect of WoA has increased now and should match peoples expectations better.

* Casting Bless and Nolocate should give error messages if it’s not possible.
== 120827 Monday update ==
During the update today we ran into some issues when converting the database to handle multi storey buildings. Gate locks and locks to buildings went missing for a short period but we sorted the problem quickly and everything is back to normal.
* No-drop items such as writs, settlement forms etc. should no longer be lost on server transfer.
* Fireplaces are now properly impacted by quality level. It has been bugged for a long time

* Temporary Fix: Animals can no longer pass arched walls. This will be reverted once the bug with arched walls allowing any animals through regardless of door type is fixed.
Oh, and we’ve got news back in the launcher now after fixing an error in the URL from which it reads RSS feeds.
== 120702 Salt renamed ==
* Normal salt was erroneously named Source Salt during the weekend. Reverted.
* Some tools that had no skillgain should now do that again.
* Non-villager boats may now be conquered on Chaos.
* Grass growth was enabled again since it was not the reason for lag.
== 120629 Weapon skill changes ==
* Weapon skillgain for low quality/damage weapons was too high and weapon skill gain was tweaked upwards a bit overall.
* Archery skillgain for using shafts on creatures was a bug borderline exploit. 11 players on Epic with archery skill above 75 were assumed to have used this and were tweaked down towards 75. Their body control were also tweaked towards 30 by the same amount (4/5ths). Skills on Epic will be kept in order like this so report these situations faster. Archery skillgain is now more tied to damage dealt as well.
== 120626 Even more oil denerfing ==
* Olives will weight a bit more and when you press them you’ll get three times as much oil
* Lamps burn at 1/4th the rate now
== 120621 Olive yield increased ==
With this update today olive yield has been increased for higher ages. And the previously mentioned oil barrel feature is coming live.
== 120620 Circumvening the nerf ==
As expected there are worries that it will become too much of a chore to keep lamps filled with oil or tar. Now, tar isn’t _really_ supposed to be used in lamps but it will still be possible to use of course since it would be too much of a nerf to remove that. Olive oil finally has the use and value it was supposed to from the very beginning.
I’ve added the possibility to build an “oil barrel” which will hold huge amounts of olive oil. If you keep a barrel on deed the guards will use the oil within to fill your street lamps. Guards can only deal with olive oil though so you can’t fill it with tar.
I also added the possibility to build armour stand and bow rack. The models are lacking for those as well but they will arrive eventually.
I just had to restart the Epic servers for another reason so they received this update and can try it out a bit before the other servers which will be restarted tomorrow.
== 120613 Neutral Chaos deeds, portal from GV fix in todays update ==
* The starter deed guards on Chaos should now be properly neutral to players
* The portal from Golden Valley put players in the water on Epic servers which was fixed
* HOTS can now attack each others settlements properly without declaring war
* Traders should now display tax rate and how much they have added to upkeep in taxes
* There is now a note that you need to adhere to the code of conduct when writing Kingdom History entries;)
* We’ve received reports that Java 7 Update 5 has problems starting Wurm. It seems to be a cache issue. If you upgrade and run into errors: clear the java cache.
== 120605 Faith zone changes/Achievement bugfix ==
* Fixes a bug where achievements didn’t properly transfer between servers. Lost achievements will have to be regained.
* Due to bugginess and obsolete code, faith zones changed so only one deity may dominate an area
== 120427 Inner walls by Zcul! ==
*You may now build walls inside structures, creating rooms. Zcul is the genious behind this addition
*You may now restrict mine doors to your alliance
*Gate management for massive amounts of gates was given a nudge but couldn't be tested
*Some methods were added to Chaos to prevent planting of non-allied deeds. Only allies or citizens should now be able to plant within 100 tiles of the perimeter of an existing settlement on Chaos
== 120424 PayPal issues being sorted ==
*This Friday, PayPal updated their system. Most payments were still working afterwards but one of their servers failed to communicate with our servers. Yesterday we updated our code in order to fix this error. It worked well for several hours but suddenly our server stopped handling orders. We're looking into the problem and will handle your payments as soon as possible.
*Update: The systems are now working again and your payments are being processed automatically as the transactions are re-issued by PayPal during the day. You may use the shop safely.
== 120423 Chaos PvP plans ==
*The Chaos server will be removing some of the PvP restrictions that doesn't go well with it being a PvP server. Effectively, some time after the 1st of May the changes listed below will be introduced. Up until then those of you who wish to leave will receive free disbands effective only on the Chaos server! (minus the free upkeep added). Any traders on deed will be removed and you will receive 20 silver as a reimbursement.
*The major changes will be to remove all penalties for attacking each other and give battle ranks and affinities for slaying premium accounts, as well as removing the requirement to declare war before raiding.
*On a totally unrelated note, large axes henceforth will be called just axes or medium axes.
== 120419 Fixed timers and gate hopping ==
*The mining timers that were increased unintendedly were reduced again
*You may now have troubles entering a locked gate if you are engaged with a player opponent. Might be able to sometimes, might be unable to sometimes.
*Gate hopping fix now applies only to non-deeded gates and doors, or ones on the border of the deed. It's still being developed and tested.
*Fishing and digging may now yield rare items
*Vynora priests will receive alignment for cutting down trees. Alignment gain was changed to require a certain age though.
== 120418 Rare item functionalities ==
*First a note regarding repairing - it seems to take longer than it should in many cases now and will receive a fix.
*Most of the planned or possible rare item functionalities have now been implemented. The following list contains suggestions for rare items that have been implemented in one form or another (Many thanks Zao and Klaa for compiling the list):
*Materials have faster associated timers and may turn constructed item into rare item
*Locks are harder to pick
*Lockpicks break less and aid picking
*Containers (including boats) are harder to pick
*Arrows hit harder and miss less

*Altars get bonus to normal affects and alignment during prayers and sermons

*Horseshoes improve speed
*Butchering knives increase meat yield and item ql
== 120417 Important changes to item construction and gatehopping ==
*In approximately two weeks you will no longer be able to create larger items inside smaller ones. You will receive warnings about this in order to encourage you to change behaviour.
*In order to prevent gate hopping, house doors will now stay open for one minute if you pass them while there is an enemy closeby.
*Certain timers that were increased too much in an earlier update today were brought in line.
*Minimum repair time was lowered.
*The orb of doom now has 1 hour cooldown.
*Area spells now have 2 minutes cooldown. We don't support area cooldowns.
*Fishing rods damage received another tweak.
== 120414 A few minor but annoying bugs fixed ==
*Some items such as imperial lamps used up too little material during creation
*When attacking crowded creatures the slots shouldn't change as easily
*The health bar in the client should work more properly
== 120306 Mainly item damage tweaks ==
*Area spells no longer work underwater
*Tree harvesting should deal less item damage.
*Mixing different fruit juices will remove their unique property instead of increasing one of the juice types
*Fish rod damage was tweaked
*Liquid creation should use better ratios
*A bug was fixed with spell buffs that didn't time out
*Those traders that were producing steel items will start to produce normal items once they run out. It was just decorative but it's a bug.
== 120404 Horses save positions more often ==
*Horses should now save their position approximately every 10th tile so crashes should not have the same impact.
*Fishing spots will change with seasons. Your fishing spots have probably moved due to this. Bigger fish will be harder to catch but should on the other hand yeild higher quality levels.
*Repairing no longer leaves damage when complete.
*Client colors were modified. Dye still shows colors. Rarity is shown in color and wound coloring is back.
== 120403 Colors showing in inventory ==
*Colors are now showing on inventory items - thank you Budda!
*Voice chat binaries were updated, so you may receive a firewall or antivirus warning message but it is safe to install. It works well by the way and we suggest you form a team in your village to try it out.
== 120402 Fixing some metallurgy, liquid mixing etc ==
*Numbers were off for metallurgy and some liquids such as fruit juice, which is dealt with
*Fungus trap was useless and can now be cast outside of mycelium and Libila influence like the Ice and Fire pillar counterparts
== 120401 Lag reduction ==
*Some of the lag that the recent changes introduces should be gone after this update
*The bug where materials sometimes weren't used when building was fixed
*Creation of lye and other liquids should use proper amounts now
*We don't have any April's fools joke this year. Honestly. This isn't a joke at all, seriously. Haha April's fool!
*Ok that was really cheap but things are hectic!
== 120331 Upwards retweaking ==

*The powerful animal loyalty was unnerfed a bit
*Keys will not take damage when failing to create moulds
*The convert bug was fixed
*Zombies will no longer instadie
== 120329 Wonderful Time(r)s! ==

*Timers now run on tenths of seconds, giving more precise effects of quality, skill and enchantments. This includes fighting.
*Less item loss on failure!
*Priests receive alignment modification for actions just as non-priests now
*Dispel now has range 24
*Mounts and carts may be used in shallow water. Less land bridges - more fords!
*Mounts and carts may be used in steeper terrain. Less obstruction!
*Older creatures may spawn now - more challenge!
*Items have rarity! You may now occasionally succeed in creating a rare, supreme or even fantastic item. These tools are faster, weapons do more damage, and armour protects a bit better. This may also happen as you improve or polish items and rare items may turn into even rarer items. Constructing new items using rare materials may turn the unfinished item into a rare item. Rare guard towers spawn more guards, for instance. More functionality will be added over time.
*Known bugs: Metallurgy needs some more debugging. Chain armour creation erroneously uses up the chain on failure. Fields show the wrong textures.
== 120315 Scrap bugfix ==
*Since last update, low ql lumps are supposed to appear instead of metal scraps in order to improve creation. In certain instances these lumps would not appear, which has now been fixed.
== 120228 Reputation tweaks ==
*Reputation hits for attacking and killing have been tweaked since it caused reversed grief. This applies to PvP servers where you can attack eachothereach other. You now take 20 rep hit when killing same kingdom (unless within deed perimeter, or duelling etc) so you can deal with griefers a few times. On the other hand it should be fairly slow business hunting newbies for griefers. If you attack someone out of the blue you get stamped as Hunted for half an hour which means anyone can kill you without penalty. This stays over respawn. The only "supported solution" on PvP servers is to get a deed for any land you claim otherwise the game considers it free-for-all. On non-homeservers (Elevation) there is no penalty at all.
*Magranon now has the spell locate artifact
*Some people on Elevation found an exploitish situation where they were gaining body control too fast. The skills involved were modified down to more sane levels.
*Killing someone from the same kingdom outside PvP Areas will give a reputation hit unless you are at war. Killing someone from the same alliance or village within the PvP zone will still give reputation hit.
*You should no longer become invulnerable when you lose link since linkdropping was abused. The auto invulnerability when you log on still remains.
*Players from warring alliances should be able to loot eachothereach other.
*As a diplomat, you may still declare war on other single villages but it does not involve the alliance. The future of this feature is uncertain.
*In the freedom cluster, if you become outlaw you are now also kicked out of your village.
*Creatures summoned by the deities on Valrei like the Drakespirits will appear a lot less on non-Epic servers. They will send 1 where before they could send up to 15. Additionally, on Epic servers the toughness of the creatures summoned will be considered so fewer will spawn the tougher they are.
*Uniques may bash house walls with higher probability now.
