50/50 ratio for aggressive and non-aggressive animals

To help remedy the controversy between Wurmian hunters and breeders, the creature spawning/breeding now has two pools where 50% is reserved for aggressive animals and 50% for non-aggressive. This should even out over time. When a cap is reached you will not be able to breed more animals, but already pregnant animals will still give birth. See here for a more details.

Goodbye Home Servers

A melancholy day in Wurm Online as the much loved home servers are removed for good. Such is the price of progress however, as the new Freedom server has been booming in player activity, reaching a peak player count of over two-hundred. Characters on Jenn-Kellon and Mol-Rehan home who have had premium in the past but who didn't migrate have now been moved to the wild server, and the others who have never been premium were deleted. In unrelated news, the artifacts on the wild server have been reset and the race is on once again to find them.

Freedom Server

New lands exist to be explored! The Freedom server has no player versus player combat, no resource QL cap, and is premium only. You can find this exciting new server by sailing south of the home servers or taking a freedom stone. The home servers will both be shutting down in a few weeks, cutting Freedom off from Wild. Other changes include new player models for Freedom, new ground textures, and much more!

Mounts and Sounds

Wurm has now the ability to ride animals and to let them drag large carts. For a list of rideable animals and useful tips look at the the mount page.
Also there are now realistic ambient sounds.

New Sandbox/Tutorial Server

A new server has been launched to help players new to Wurm become more easily acquainted with the Game. Also Jenn-Kellon home is no longer free-to-play.
See here for a more detailed list of the changes.

Mol-Rehan Home

There is now a second home server, this one is for the kingdom of Mol-Rehan and is premium only. It is located to the west of the wild server and is a completely new land mass.

Boats and Ships

Boats and ships can now be made on the main servers. They require a lot of parts to be made though, so you will need more than one person working on one to complete it!

Test Server - Boats

Boats are currently in pubilc testing on the test server, so to help Rolf finish the code and get them implemented into the main servers test them and post bugs in the City Hall topic on boats.

Christmas in Wurm, AGAIN!

Go to Newtown or the Landing, and look for Santa! You can find him by following the cloud of colored smoke that shoots up into the air. You can see it from anywhere on the servers. You can visit him between the 24th and the 26th, in Swedish time. If you're hungry, don't forget to look into his bag of julbord!

Wurmaggeddon has begun!

"The world collapsed with two fire metors fell to the ground...A new world began to take birth one tile at a time." Unfortunatley, a horrid server explosion made Wurm have a Map Reset. Although EVERYONE is waiting for a new map and a fresh start.

Player Petition Successful

A petition started by a group of players unhappy with the brightness of the grass in the game was succesful.
This shows that the developers of Wurm do listen to the community. Yay for grass that doesn't look radioactive!

BoK and "Ageless" Title Given Out

The BoK and "Ageless" title have been given out. There's no chance to get one now (for the moment at least).

--Ancient 09:54, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

Main Page Re-design

I've re-designed the Main Page. I've worked on it for a while and I think it's a great, clean change to the old, slightly messed up one.

I nearly did the whole thing in HTML, if anyone wants to they can convert it to wiki code.

If anyone adds a link then please keep it tidy.

Thanks!

13th of June 2006

Everyone who wants to receive a bag of keeping and "Beta Tester" title should get a paying account by this time. They will be given out and after this date nobody else will be able to get the title and get a bag of keeping easily.
