| − | == Introduction ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wurm has three types of servers, entry, home and wild. Entry servers are where new accounts are created. Home servers are the home of a specific kingdom, while wild servers are battlegrounds existing between home servers. Currently there is a [[Golden Valley]] entry server, Jenn-Kellon home server ([[Jenn002]]), a Mol-Rehan home server ([[Molr001]]) and a wild server ([[Wild001]]). There is also a login server, [[Jenn001]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | All servers share the same decay rate except for Golden Valley that currently decays 3 times faster than the other servers. It is impossible to chat across servers boundaries, even with fellow villagers or friends.

| − | <blockquote>"I see no reason to apply the cap to anything other than [[ore]]. However, we might add some resources that are only available on wild servers, and some that are only available on home server in the future. Actually, some might even be unique to a single server, to encourage trading." -- [[User:Notch|Notch]]</blockquote>
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' Both JK Home and MR Home will be shut down shortly to be replaced by a new non PVP server called freedom. See this [http://wurmonline.com/forum/index.php?topic=19183.0 thread] for more details.

| − | == Server specifics ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Home server details ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fully owned by the native kingdom. The entire server is automatically claimed as kingdom territory, so guard towers are not required to plant deeds.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [http://www.wurmonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7814 Theft, PVP, and other kinds of griefing] are frowned upon, and are bannable offences in many instances. In addition, stealing and PVP typically result in loss of [[reputation]]. As reputation drops, the player becomes an [[outlaw]] and eventually a [[blacklighter]]. At this point, the player is kicked off the server into the wild.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As an notable exception to the above, inter-settlement [[settlements#Wars|war]] is possible. However, both sides of the conflict are required to accept the declaration. It is not possible to wage war on a target who refuses to participate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[GM]]s will police these servers as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically. [[Moderator]]s police the kingdom chat channels to ensure the chat rules are followed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To encourage people to visit the wild server home servers have a cap on ore [[QL]], currently 50.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Wild server details ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Wild servers are battlegrounds where different kingdoms clash together. There is no pre-owned land, it must be claimed by constructing guard towers. Deeds can only be placed within the territories claimed by the towers. Horde of the Summoned are only found on wild servers, having forsaken their original kingdom's home.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Full PVP is enabled between kingdoms, as well as internally within your own kingdom. The [[White Light]] and [[Black Light]] are found on the wild server.
| |
| − | | |
| − | GMs generally avoid intervening in wild server affairs. However, excessive griefing and other violations of the game rules will be punished as appropriate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are no resource limits on wild servers. Some monsters (notably [[huge spider]]s) are stronger, and the terrain is rougher.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Golden Valley server details ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Golden Valley server is where all new accounts are created. Both [[Jenn-Kellon]] and [[Mol-Rehan]] can exist on the server but there is no PvP. There is no limit to the number of times an account can be converted on this server.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Premium can be purchased on GV. It does not have any effect until the player is on a different server. There is a portal to both home servers which can only be entered with a premium account. They are one-way portals.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because premium has no effect on this server most items are effectively capped at around 20 [[QL]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' You can no longer buy deeds on GV but existing deeds will be allowed to remain. News post [http://www.wurmonline.com/newsmenu/game-updates/184-happy-3-years-wurm here].
