The realm of the '''Golden Valley''' is an interesting one, lying but an arm's reach from the main realm of Wurm.

Golden Valley is the tutorial server. Every player starts here, and after completing the tutorial, will have to choose between the [[wild server]] and the [[freedom server]].  
All new souls entering the Wurm universe will appear within this tiny landscape.
 
 
 
The server is the starting point for all free to play characters (see [[Account Types#Basic|basic account]]). They go through a tutorial, and can then teleport to [[Freedom001|Freedom]] for free, or pay to go to Freedom or [[Wild#Wild_servers|Wild]] as a
 
[[Account Types#Premium|premium player]].
 
 
 
Once you step through one of the many [[portal]]s inhabiting this realm, beware - for you are unable to return. The decision to leave Golden Valley for greater adventure and opportunity is permanent.

Players used to be able to stay in Golden Valley, even after finishing the missions by the [[Creature:Guide|guide]]s.
 
 
 
Those old pioneers are perfectly free to explore or colonize the land as they choose. However, go with a friend, as the realm contains perils far greater than the mere search for food and water...
 
 
 
Compared to the true realm, the Golden Valley is astonishingly small - a mere sixteenth of the size of other continents in the Wurm universe. [[Tree]] and crop growth is faster, but unfortunately, so is the [[decay]].
 
 
 
Due to a mysterious pacifying force, [[PvP]] combat is disabled on this server. This force is rumoured to weaken the [[animal]] inhabitants of this realm.
 
 
 
There are portals to the other servers in the former starter town [[New Dawn]], [[Glitterdale]], and [[First Light]]. It is a one-way trip. Maximum amount of items you can carry through the portals is 200. You cannot take animals or finished [[cart]]s or [[boat]]s with you.
 
 
 
If you want to go to Freedom for free, you must take the tutorial (teleport near New Dawn token), and cannot take any items with you other than the ones given by the tutorial.
 
 
 
=== Limitations ===
 
* Skills are limited to 20, even after having paid for premium
 
* [[Trader]]s do not sell [[deed]]s or [[Personal merchant|personal merchant contacts]]
