Server travel

From Wurmpedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

There are two ways to move between servers--by boat or by portal. Which option depends on the server cluster.

Sailing

You can sail across some server borders using any boat you are the owner of or as a passenger on of a boat. This will leave your skills and items intact. Animals cannot cross server borders unless by the means of creature cages.

NOTE: If you are traveling across server borders, make sure all passengers are logged into the ship prior to crossing the border. Players logged off when a ship crosses the border may be left at their last log-in position on the previous server.

Player can use the Plot Course option when right-clicking on their boat to go to any server from any other server. A player will end up on the opposite side of the island from the one they left. If a player sails to the northern edge of a server, they will arrive at the southern border of the new server.

Portals

Some server crossings require portals. Your items and vehicles will not cross to the new server. This may or many not mean your skills are left behind, depending on which servers you are traveling to and from. Some portal are one way, but most allow travel back and forth.

Starting at Southern Freedom Islands

Players can sail between any of the Southern Islands by boat. Travel to Chaos may be disabled in your profile settings-Block PVP Crossing. Players may also travel to Epic servers via portals in the starter towns or created by players for their own deeds. You will not keep your items, but you will share your bank balance. Skills transfers from Southern Islands to Epic, except for Faith, Favour, and Alignment and except any skill that shows a 3X on Epic.

Players on the Southern Freedom Islands may not travel to the Northern Freedom Islands in any way at this time.

The ingame world map shows the standard connections between servers on the Southern Freedom Islands cluster:

Starting at Northern Freedom Isles

Players on the Northern Freedom Islands have several options. Players may travel between Cadence, Harmony and Melody by boat. To travel to the Defiance server, players can take a portal in the starter towns or one built by players. Your items will not transfer, but all skills except Fighting, Faith, and Meditation will transfer back and forth.

Players cannot sail or otherwise transport between the Northern Freedom Isles and the Southern Freedom or Epic Islands. Bank balance is also not shared between these clusters.
