#REDIRECT [[Wurm Server Release Notes 2013]]
== 090218 ==
 
* Reconnecting now properly puts you back on the boat
 
* Archery line of sight fix
 
* Farming now yields more again
 
* Shield skillgain is borked and nerfed to more reasonable levels. You dont get more skill the more creatures you fight now because the cost in damage did not make up for it.
 
* Dropping link when you are under attack will not be a viable strategy any longer
 
 
 
== 090216 ==
 
* If you are fighting and your stamina is close to 0 you now gain no skill. The fighting skill you gain for killing a foe is not affected. The reason for this change is to reduce inactive grinding against several harmless opponents. Shield skillgain speed was boosted 20%. Hopefully more skill gain speeds can be increased as a result of this.
 
 
 
== 090213 ==
 
* The troll club strike has ended.
 
* Critical hits were toned down in frequency by 5 and damage by 50%
 
* As you loose a fatness level now your hunger is removed, resembling starving. Until you have no fat left.
 
* Archery should check for elevation better.
 
* The test client now has sound(!).
 
 
 
== 090206 ==
 
* A lot of the hostile golden valley creatures are disappearing. A rumour is that they pass through the portals or are affected by them in a negative way.
 
* Creatures shouldn't bash fences indiscriminately any longer.
 
* Guard towers are no longer possible to build or continue on Golden Valley as you may have noticed. The guards broke the truce too often.
 
 
 
== 090202 ==
 
* Shield skillgain was increased this restart. It may be increased even more next update.
 
* More creatures bash walls now.
 
* Fighting players from the same kingdom no longer gives weapon and fight style skill in order to avoid exploits
 
* Undominated creatures on cave tiles with more than 2 creatures are now destroyed at boot because of starvation.
 
* Kingdom towers can no longer be finished by enemy kingdom alts
 
* Dragon scale movement penalty was decreased
 
* Fixed a bug with kingdom royal level losses
 
 
 
== 090130 ==
 
* Shield skillgain should work better. Shields now take minimum 0.2 damage per hit though so they should withstand max 500 hits. You may however grind on creatures better again. The cost is this shield damage and the time invested.
 
* Rock sculpting is quicker, about 1 per 10 actions instead of 1 per 25
 
* A bug with boat settings being lost when changing server was fixed. Boats will now allow all to board after switching servers since maybe you don't belong to the same village on the other server.
 
* Paved tiles should now decay on the entry server
 
* MR now receives 2 silver coins when using the portal on Golden Valley. Existing MR players also received 2 silver coins for correctness, and as a motivational perk. I am aware that this is unorthodox and sensitive. Try to see the good consequences of it though - it does mean more money globally. This bonus offer will end after a while.
 
* There is now a player assistant window for new players where they may ask questions to appointed Player Assistants.
 
* Archery should work again
 
 
 
== 090128 ==
 
* Traps now disappear if the terrain becomes invalid
 
* Same kingdom structures can no longer be destroyed with catapults on the home servers
 
* Pruning now works for old trees, setting them back to 'start of old age'
 
* New anti-exploit feature. It will be harder to grind archery and fighting skill off of alt characters now. You will only gain a certain amount of skill from fighting another particular player per approx 4 hour period. Until that period has passed you will have to find another player to fight if you want to gain skill. If this works well we will have to discuss what the next step shall be.
 
* Some more village perimeter bug fixes
 
 
 
== 090120 ==
 
* This update contains a new feature - traps. Traps work on player enemies only. Players from a different kingdom or a hostile village may fall victim of your traps. There are ways to detect traps.
 
* Some suggested changes for wine making were implemented
 
* Fixed some bugs with track
 
* Wall damage should update better
 
* A bug with sculpting wands where they drained charges but couldn't affect the terrain should be fixed
 
* You should no longer be able to steal locked boats on home servers if you are of the same kingdom
 
 
 
== 090114 ==
 
* A large change to registration and the server situation has been made - there is now one single entry server for new players called the Golden Valley. From there they use portals to get to the other servers. In order to use the portals they have to purchase premium time. Old basic accounts will be able to log on to the Jenn home server for now, but no new accounts can be created there.
 
* Another large change has been made to home server settlements. They now have perimeter control. For a village this is 50 tiles, and for a homestead it is based on the size. Fences, houses and roads can not be built or destroyed within the perimeter unless the settlement specifically allows it. The reason for this change is to remove certain grief-like situations and relieve the GM team of the task of protecting fences.
 
* Entry server specifics: If you buy premium on the entry server you will not notice it until you go through a portal to a premium server. You can change kingdom any number of times on this server. You can only bring 200 items through the portal. Trees grow at a higher rate on that server. Pvp is not allowed but both Mol Rehan and Jenn-Kellon kingdoms exist.
 
* In order to become HOTS you now have to seek it out on the wild server. HOTS players will be beefed because of this.
 
* We sincerely hope that these changes does not bring anyone down. We believe that it is for the best in the long run.
 
 
 
== 090110 ==
 
* The large influx of players from 4chan is pressing the server capacity on Jenn002 causing it to crash. In order to avoid this the limit of non-premium players that are allowed on the server had to be lowered while we figure out how we best handle the situation. We suggest that as soon as you have decided that you like Wurm - create an account on the beautiful Mol Rehan server! Note that you will then have to pay for some premium time on the website in order to log on that character.
 
* A bug with traders was fixed.
 
* A bug where sending items via the ingame mail system to an unavailable server made the item disappear was fixed.
 
 
 
== 090109 ==
 
* The chance for hitting the opponent of your target in archery was reduced
