If you have any questions, please feel free to PM [[systemparadox]] on GV or on forums.== Results ==
== Results ==We have learned that:* The difference in decay between fence types is negligible.* Wurm has nonlinear decay. The more damaged an item is, the faster it decays, so repair often.
Removed old info
Multiple characters were used for simultaneous construction. Due to the extreme difficulty the tall stone wall was completed last, but still within 10 minutes of the other fences.
Note: [[Golden Valley]] decays 3x faster than the premium serverother servers.
All times are UTC+1. See below for a graph.

== A second experiment ==
About 3 years after this first experiment, a second experiment was set up on Deliverance. 6 different fences of 20ql were built: Woven Fence, Crude Wooden Fence, Wooden Fence, Low Stone Wall, Tall Stone Wall and Iron Fence. The damage was noted each day for 6 months, and here are the results, collected between February and July 2013 by [http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Player:Yaga[Yaga]]:

The previous results could be confirmed: within statistical limits all fence types show the same rate of decay. (The minor spread at higher damages was mainly due to slight ql differences.)
