Indy Treasure Hunt

By spellcast - Forum Link

June 27th - 4PM UTC

There will be 21 prizes, of varying value. Upon arrival players will have the option to choose a chest. There will be 10 chests that will contain a prize set consisting of a rare tool/weapon, a useful item of some sort, and a silver coin. These chests will be obviously different from the other 11 chests. Of those 11 chests, there will be 5 low value prizes, (probably just a couple of silver); 5 medium value prizes (either just the rare tool/weapon, or just the useful item, not exactly sure which yet)

• 5 of the chests will contain 3 silver each.
• 5 chests will contain the same rare tool/weapon as the prize sets above.
• The final chest will contain the grand prize, which consists of 5 silver and a group of supreme tools.
• There will be no way to tell which of these 11 chests here is which.

Fun in the sun

By Wossoo - Forum Link

The reward of the summer will be a refreshed, ready to roll dev team for the next 12 months! When Autumn comes around, we'd like to start looking into the next "big feature" to start developing. Up until then, work on bugs and smaller things will continue.

Fancy Pants

By Wossoo - Forum Link

This week has seen more of the same from devs, with a continued focus on bugfixes and small additions.

• Warlander joins as a volunteer client developer
• More new clothing!
• Marble statues

We've created a new e-mail address, feedback@wurmonline.com, for general bits of feedback.

Permissions, Clothing and Slain Bugs

By Wossoo - Forum Link

Hmm... Boats? Bridges?! Bugs! Starting from this week, we'll also be including all of the week's patch notes in the weekly news.

Coming soon™:

• Permissions
• New Clothing

We've [also] decided to change the format of the title to just be News, the number of the post and some information about what's inside.

Work and Progress. Week 22

By Wossoo - Forum Link

The Summer of Bugslaying

In light of community feedback, we've decided that our main focus for the next few months will be on bugfixes.

Other future insights:

• new clothing options
• in-game Valrei map
• planters and jars (amphora)

There will also be some client additions over the next few months. Tich has been working hard on a new permissions system, and we also have plans to make some changes to elements of the client's rendering system.

May Treasure Hunt - Celebration

By Spellcast - Forum Link

So another treasure hunt is upon us.

I've scaled this one back a bit from the last one, which was a bit overly complex and confusing in some respects. There is only a single run, with 12 clues.

The end of the hunt will have:

• 10 chests with prizes that will be immediately available

-OR-

• 20 keys, one of which will open a grand prize chest at the start town.

In addition to the grand prize, there will be 19 other chests in the start town, each with a small item in them as consolation prizes so anyone who manages to get a key will get something, even if its not the grand prize.

Spring Update

By Wossoo - Forum Link

Bridges, Boats and Stairs!

We will be releasing the Spring Update next week, on Tuesday 12th May. We don't have a specific time set, but will aim to release as soon as we can on the day.

Key updates:

• The first and main feature of the update will be bridges. The feature will be released in full, allowing for all kinds of creativity... ranging from bridges across water and valleys to bridges between buildings, in four flavours: rope, wood, stone and marble.
• We are also releasing a couple of other features in the release, the first of which is the new boat models. The boats themselves will go unchanged, but all boat types will get updated models.
• The last part of the update will be stairs.

That concludes this week's news. Excited? Join us next Tuesday for the release of the biggest single feature since multi-storey housing!
