The Founding Developers
Wurm Online was originally created by Rolf Janssen (Rolf) and Markus Persson (Notch). Up until 2007 Notch and Rolf continued to work together on the game; developing the client and server sides respectively. In 2007 Notch retired, but Rolf continued working on the game and created the Client Development Team to continue improving the client.
What do Devs do?
Developers are responsible for a vast array of things from fixing bugs to creating graphics, maintaining the website, managing sysadmin and much more. They directly affect the game by making changes to code, adding content, and altering how things work. While Rolf remains the sole Server Developer, he has expanded the client team with volunteers. Until early 2011 Rolf was the only employee of OneTooFree AB, but recently he has employed two additional developers, Haradur and Wox.
