Purpose

• The test server exists to test large game updates before they are added to the main servers.
• The test server is also used to test new Wurm client releases.
• The test client connects to the test server. This client may have bugs, crashes and bad performance. It can be accessed through the launcher.

Test server Rules and Instructions

• On the test server, there is no need to register an account, just fill in a name and password. Things you do on this server will not affect your character on the normal server. The test server may be reset or restarted at any time, without any warning.
• Make sure you read the forum thread here as it has important information and rules.
