Introduction

Wurm Online will have two types of server; Home and Wild. There will be two subtypes of Home servers; the Kingdom of Jenn-Kellon Home Servers and the Kingdom of Mol-Rehan Home Servers. Initially there may only be one Jenn-Kellon Home Server and one Wild Server. Other servers may be added in the future. Home Servers are much safer than Wild Servers; in terms of PvP.

Server Type Details

Home Server

These are fully owned by either Jenn-Kellon or Mol Rehan. Nobody else can build towns there, and (if it's needed) get penalties for even being on the server.

Theft and so is frowned upon a lot, and if you cause too much commotion, you get kicked out of the kingdom.

GMs will police these servers fairly close as needed, but ideally the game rules should take care of things automatically.

These, both to make up for the extra protection, and to encourage people to visit the wild servers, have a cap on resource QL.

Wild Server

No QL caps, and no pre-owned land. To claim land for your kingdom, you have to build towers.

Full pvp is enabled. Minimal GM interaction (except for things that are against the game rules, such as cheating)

The white and black lights will both be on wild servers only, but we might make it possible to build temples that work like mini-lights.

Most cool game events will take place on wild servers.

Miscellaneous Details

Additional quotes from Notch: I see no reason to apply the cap to anything other than ore. However, we might add some resources that are only available on wild servers, and some that are only available on home server in the future. Actually, some might even be unique to a single server, to encourage trading
