The realm of the '''Golden Valley''' is an interesting one, lying but an arm's reach from the main realm of Wurm.All new souls entering the Wurm universe will appear within this tiny landscape. The tutorial server is the starting point for all free to play characters (see [[Account Types#Basic|basic account]]). They go through a tutorial, and can then teleport to [[Freedom001|Freedom]] for free, or pay to go to Freedom or [[Wild#Wild_servers|Wild]] as a [[Account Types#Premium|premium Every player]]. Once you step through one of the many [[portal]]s inhabiting this realmstarts here, beware - for you are unable to return.

However, go with a friend, as between the realm contains perils far greater than the mere search for food and water... Compared to the true realm, the Golden Valley is astonishingly small - a mere sixteenth of the size of other continents in the Wurm universe. [[Treewild server]] and crop growth is faster, but unfortunately, so is the [[decay]].  Due to a mysterious pacifying force, [[PvP]] combat is disabled on this freedom server.

It is a one-way trip. Maximum amount of items you can carry through the portals is 200. You cannot take animals or finished [[cart]]s or [[boat]]s with you. If you want to go to Freedom for free, you must take the tutorial (teleport near New Dawn token), and cannot take any items with you other than the ones given by the tutorial. === Limitations ===* Skills are limited to 20, even after having paid for premium* [[Trader]]s do not sell [[deed]]s or [[Personal merchant|personal merchant contacts]]* Players cannot go un[[faithful]] or un[[lawful]]* [[Guard tower]]s cannot be completed.
