==== '''Other servers ====There is a [[test server]] which is allows testing of new game content.'''
There is a [[Astrology:Valrei|Valreitest server]], a moon which allows testing of Wurm, has a special "server only" (no client, so we cannot go there) which simulates battles between the gods. (See [[Scenarios]] for more informationnew game content.)
[[Astrology:Valrei|Valrei]], a moon of Wurm, has a special server on which battles between the gods take place. We mere-mortals can not visit the moon with our avatars, but we can follow these events remotely via a twitter feed and maps. Avatars on the Epic servers can assist their god by completing missions, and can potentially be rewarded for their efforts. ''See [[Scenarios]] for more information.'' Finally there is a login logon server which is part of the Wurm infrastructure used to manage accounts. If the logon this server is down, no accounts can logon to any of the other servers.

: <sup>[2]</sup> Possible to attack other players, but you will become an outlaw. In PvP zones however you can attack all players.
: <sup>[3]</sup> Theft is no longer possible on Freedom. However, taking anything that is not secured correctly (e.g. Unlocked boats) is not considered Theft.
== Server type details ==
=== Tutorial server ===
The Tutorial server (Golden Valley) is where all new accounts are created. The aim of the Tutorial server tutorial is to introduce the player to the game mechanics. Players may then move on from the Tutorial server tutorial area to other server types any of the player servers using [[portal]]s. (Premium must be purchased to be able to move to the Elevation server. )  Premium time has no effect till the player leaves the server - , as the Tutorial server only allows basic accounts, so . Thus skills are limited to a maximum of 20. This means and resource quality is also limited to 20. There are also no gods or altars present on the Tutorial 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 Epic 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 Tutorial server.
=== Freedom servers ===
The entire area of each server is automatically claimed as Freedom kingdom territory, so guard towers are not required to plant deeds.
Theft, PvP, and other kinds of grieving are Grieving is frowned upon, and are is a potentially bannable offenses in many instancesoffense. [[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.
The original Freedom server was Independence. The second one to be created was Deliverance, which is situated to the South border of Independence. This was followed by Exodus, to the South border of Deliverance.
The old Wild server became the fourth server to join Freedom. It is now known as the Chaos server and can be accessed by sailing across the west border of any of the three servers above. However, sailing back east across the border from Chaos will only take you to Deliverance.
=== Wild servers ===
{{infobox | This information is out of date. The last wild server was converted to Chaos, and that no longer works as described below.}}
Wild servers are battlegrounds where different kingdoms clash together. There is no pre-owned land, it must be claimed by constructing guard towers. Deeds can only be placed within the territories claimed by the towers.
Full PvP is enabled between kingdoms, as well as internally within your own kingdom. The [[white light]] and [[black light]] are found on the wild server. Each kingdom on wild has a leader and offices granted to players by the leader.
GMs generally avoid intervening in wild server affairs. However, excessive griefing and other violations of the game rules will be punished as appropriate. On wild servers monsters are tougher and the terrain is harsher. <sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>
=== Epic servers ===
