A few tutorial updates.
{{disclaimer}}
 
== Introduction ==
Wurm currently has three types of server: EntryTutorial, Freedom and Wild. A fourth type called 'Epic' (scenario lands) is planned. Currently not much information is known about this Epic server type as it's still in the planning and development phase. There is also a login server and a [[test server]] (which can be accessed via the wiki - see the link bar at the top left).

== Server type details ==
=== Entry servers Tutorial server ===
Entry servers are The Tutorial server (Golden Valley) is where all new accounts are created. The aim of the Tutorial server contains JK, MR and HotS, but HotS is limited to PAs and GMs. The aim of introduce the Entry servers are player to let new players try the game for free in almost all its glorymechanics. Players may then move on from the Entry servers Tutorial server to other server types using portals[[portal]]s. Premium must be purchased to be able to do move to the Wild servers, this and has no effect till the player leaves the server.Entry servers The Tutorial server only allow allows basic accounts, so skills are limited to a maximum of 20. This means resource quality is also limited to 20. There is are also no gods or altars present on the Entry serversTutorial server.
The tutorial was built on the Golden Valley server. New players are spawned in the tutorial area and cannot leave other than through the portals to the Wild and Freedom servers. However accounts that were active before the tutorial was created are currently able to stay outside the tutorial area. These accounts are able to transfer to the other servers, but some have chosen to remain. PvP, theft, deeds, and [[guard tower]]s are not allowed on the Entry Tutorial server. On Entry servers, decay is also 3 times faster and the server may be periodically reset (has not occurred yet).
=== Freedom servers ===
Theft, PvP, and other kinds of grieving are frowned upon, and are bannable offences in many instances. GMs will police these servers as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically. Moderators police the kingdom chat channels to ensure the chat rules are followed.
See the freedom [[Freedom FAQ ]] for more details.
=== Wild servers ===
It is possible to travel between the Wild and Freedom servers via portals at all of the capital deeds: Samling and Freedom Market on Freedom; the Landing, the Shroud and the Gold Coast on Wild. The only items you can take with you when changing servers are coins, nodrop items (e.g. spyglasses, bags of keeping) and the starter tool kit. Additionally, fighting and archery skills are subject to a 5% penalty when crossing if either is above 50, meaning a 70 skill fighter will end up with 66.5 fighting upon arriving.
Travel from the Golden Valley Tutorial server is one-way only. Only premium characters can transfer to Wild. All characters can transfer to Freedom. Once you are on another server you may not go back to the Golden ValleyTutorial server, unless you start a new character.
