That concludes this week's news. Excited? Join us The next Tuesday treasure hunt for the release of the biggest single feature since multi-storey housingMarch has been announced!
At this moment only a few details have been given as it must be tested first.  The hunt will be an I spy game. You will be given a piece of a map with a location marked n it. It will be up to you to find out where it is and what it is based on the clue given by examining each item of the hunt.  Each window will consist of a code to retrieve the net piece of the map and the description of the next object you are looking for. The map pieces will be like a puzzle, it will be up to you to determine the proper orientation of the pieces on the map as I have randomly turned most of them 90 or 180 degrees. I promise you none of them are turned 270 degrees, if you find any that are in just means you went the long way around.  I will '''''warn''''' you right now that you will only get one chance to read each clue. Once you close or lose the window, it's gone for good. So be careful and get the clue the first time every time! This will be a good time to brush off your basic image editing skills, and copy and paste skills as well.  /Enki (Head Game Master) --[[User:Zachariah|Zachariah]] ([[User talk:Zachariah|talk]]) 00:30, 22 March 2016 (CET) === Weekly News #11 Fly me to the moon ===By ''Retrograde'' - [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/139497-weekly-news-11-fly-me-to-the-moon/ Forum Link] [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/139422-patch-notes-16mar16/ Patch Notes] Several keen astronomers have sighted a new moon in the night sky! After a long period of time in the blind spot Haven is now visible, and with it some exciting changes! We plan on introducing more information behind the mystery of Haven as time goes on, but the first change is slightly obvious given the examine text... We have started working on the foundation of a new tutorial and will be replacing the Golden Valley map that is currently live. Currently the project is still in its early stages, with planning and preperation being done before introducing the new map. As Golden Valley is also the login server, migrating databases is a little tricky, so due to this we will simply be changing the map with all items and buildings remaining. We will then have the current tutorial operating while we build the new tutorial behind the scenes. As mentioned last week, Solmark has stepped down as Lead Forum Moderator, to enjoy a peaceful retirement as a CA. I'm pleased to announce that Firestarter has filled the shoes of LFM, with Pandalet taking over as Assistant LFM. We will continue to work closely to ensure that practices remain as transparent and smoothly operating as possible. After a month of jumping in and out of PvP chats, I have finished my PvP review and forwarded it on to the development team, who almost took my hand with it! We will discuss this most likely on Monday or Tuesday, and have something ready to put forward next week in regards to changes and outlines, so stay tuned! This week saw a fix for caves that had large spaces with floors that weren't reinforced. This affected a few players negatively, and was quickly removed. We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and I have arranged with the GM team that any heratige sites that have had veins appear from this issue can have them removed via support ticket. Please note this is for heratige sites only. Over the past two weeks we've had a giveaway for Wurm Unlimited keys to celebrate offline mode. The number of applications has been amazing, and I'm pleased to announce the five winners are:* Don S. * Mirka T.* Bruce H. * Erik B. * Sylvia F. If you didn't win (which according to the maths is well over 99% of you) Wurm Unlimited is currently 40% off, it ends soon so get in quick! --[[User:MarniZachariah|MarniZachariah]] ([[User talk:Zachariah|talk]]) 05:11, 21 March 2016 (CET)  === Easter Impalong === Deliverance is having a community imalong! The impalong will be held at HOS farm, as seen on the [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/cdwkxpq85bf3uqa/deliverance%20map.png community made map] its located at 4x29y or on the ingame map at M8.
