See this website for details about the new deed system introduced in February of 2010: http://sites.google.com/a/wurmonline.com/new-deed-system/
'''Placing or Trading an already Placed Settlement requires [[Premium]] Time. If premium time expires for the mayor, the mayor DOES NOT lose the deed or their role as mayor. The mayor is the most important citizen of a settlement. A [[player]] character may only be a citizen/or mayor of one settlement at a time per server.'''The same character can be a citizen or mayor of another settlement on a different server. A player with multiple characters (alts) can have each character in a different settlement on the same server and may own multiple settlements on the same server if each character is the mayor of one settlement.
