==== Official release of Wurmonline 1.0 and launch of new Freedom server: Pristine ===='''PvP Changes'''
From Rolf (blog): "AlrightAfter a week of discussion with the dev team, we ave compiled a list of changes that we feel help improve the cat’s out current mechanics of PvP servers, as well as pacing the way for the larger update later in the year. These changed are now open for discussion and feedback, and we will for with you over the bag!following week to ensure that they are positive changes.
We’re officially releasing Wurm Online 1The full list of proposed changed can be found in our feature feedback thread [http://forum.0 on the 12th December 2012wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/139735-upcoming-pvp-changes/ here].
What it means is Wurm will contain the (improved) features that we consider make the game marketable. We will finally have character customization, visible armour, multi storey buildings and nicer looking creatures.'''Easter!'''
We are also planning to open up at least one pristine freedom server Easter is upon us, and that won’t be connected to mean several things, namely, the freedom cluster for an undetermined amount of time in order to provide that total newbie feelingEaster bunny! The bunny will now spawn automatically on Easter, rather than being summoned.They will spawn around the starter deed, so keep your eyes peeled!
As most of you have noticed during all these years we’ve kept a low profile when it comes to attracting customers. It has been a deliberate strategy due to our special development situation. It has worked well and we have attracted the customer base we’ve needed to keep the flame burning'''Easter Impalong.'''
Once we’ve releasedThere's an impalong at the amazing Hill of Swedes deed on Deliverance this weekend, that strategy will change to a more open one with Daash and we will spend more time communicating next yearco. Stargrace and Wossoo have done putting on a great job with that tremendous setup, one of my favorite impalong locations so far with (Okay, ill admit, they have all been my favorite). Already some strange mobs have been sighted, as well as the sound of GM's chuckling as they assault the poor Wurmians. I'll be popping in from time to time over the twitter weekend and facebook accounts and tried hope to keep see you guys informed about what we’ve been doing in development."<br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 13:32, 23 December 2012 (UTC)</small>all there!

==== A Fourth Freedom Server has been launched - Celebration ===='''I spy with my little eye, something begging with !, its a treasure hunt!'''

==== A Third Freedom Server has been launched - Exodus ====-[[User:Zachariah|Zachariah]] ([[User talk:Zachariah|talk]]) 19:33, 25 March 2016 (CET)
From Rolf (blog): "The Deliverance server is still being settled, and I’ve decide to release even more land south of it. The Exodus server will be made available tomorrow at 18.00 CET (September 15, 2011).=== Pristine Treasure Hunt ===
The idea is that it will cater for those who felt they missed out on the soft spots of Deliverance[http://forum. I think Exodus is a beautiful server personally, but I may be shooting off the target with it because it’s so infested with creatures that I fear people will diewurmonline. Instead of successfully settling the land, they will respawn at the start village without their tools and weapons, surrounded by equally fragile newbiescom/index.php?/topic/139596-pristine-event-date-to-be-announced/ Forum Link]
If you decide to go there, do not blame me The next treasure hunt for leading you onMarch has been announced! I have tried to warn you. You will need to survive long enough to settle down. Then again, backing up into the water or onto the boat should suffice in most situations I guess.
What you who start At this moment only a few details have been given as newbies somewhere in the center area will do I don’t know. I think you will have to slowly wear down the wall of critters with your own wall of meat and maybe build some towers to help clear the wayit must be tested first."<br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 11:42, 23 September 2011 (UTC)</small>
==== A Second Freedom Server has been launched - Deliverance ====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.
Due Each window will consist of a code to congestion retrieve the net piece of the map and the relative difficulty description of finding virgin lands on the current Independence servernext object you are looking for. The map pieces will be like a puzzle, we’ve decided that it is time to release a new Freedom server. We shall call it Deliverance and it will be up to you to determine the new default server for newbies.This historical land rush event – proper orientation of the first in several years – is scheduled Tuesday at 18.00 hrs CET (pieces on the 6th map as I have randomly turned most of Sept)them 90 or 180 degrees. The new lands will be located south I promise you none of the existing Independence server and them are turned 270 degrees, if you will be able to sail there. The only portal find any that leads to it will be from the tutorial server. Due to technical difficulties are in just means you went the launch was postponed for 1 daylong way around.<br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 01:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)</small>
==== 50/50 ratio 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 aggressive good. So be careful and non-aggressive animals ====get the clue the first time every time!
To help remedy the controversy between Wurmian hunters and breeders, the creature spawning/breeding now has two pools where 50% is reserved for aggressive animals and 50% for non-aggressive. This should even out over time. When a cap is reached you will not be able a good time to breed more animalsbrush off your basic image editing skills, but already pregnant animals will still give birth. See [[Wurm Server Release History#110426 Long awaited client and server update|here for a more details]]copy and paste skills as well. <br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 08:24, 29 April 2011 (UTC)</small>
==== Goodbye Home Servers ====/Enki (Head Game Master)
A melancholy day in Wurm Online as the much loved home servers are removed for good. Such is the price of progress however, as the new Freedom server has been booming in player activity, reaching a peak player count of over two-hundred. Characters on Jenn-Kellon and Mol-Rehan home who have had premium in the past but who didn't migrate have now been moved to the wild server, and the others who have never been premium were deleted. In unrelated news, the artifacts on the wild server have been reset and the race is on once again to find them. <br><small>[[User:RobertZachariah|Zachariah]] ([[User talk:Zachariah|Juptalk]] 04) 00:1930, 16 July 2009 22 March 2016 (CDTCET)</small>
New lands exist to be explored! The [[Freedom]] server has no player versus player combat, no resource [[QL]] cap, and is [[premium]] onlyhttp://forum. You can find this exciting new server by sailing south of the home servers or taking a [[Item:Freedom_stones|freedom stone]]wurmonline. The home servers will both be shutting down in a few weeks, cutting Freedom off from [[Wild]]com/index. Other changes include new player models for Freedom, new ground textures, and much more!<br>php?/topic/139422-patch-<small>[[User:Thorgot|thorgot]notes-16mar16/ Patch Notes] 10:17, 23 June 2009 (CDT)</small><br>

==== Mol-Rehan Home ====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.
There is now Over the past two weeks we've had a second home server, this one is giveaway for the kingdom Wurm Unlimited keys to celebrate offline mode.
