== Introduction ==
Wurm currently has four types of serversthat players can access:
:*Tutorial (Also known as Golden Valley)
:*Freedom [[PvE]] (Independence, Deliverance, Exodus, and Celebration)
:*Freedom [[PvP]] (Chaos, which used to be called Wild)
:*Epic (Elevation, Desertion, Affliction, and Serenity)
Currently not much information is known about the Epic server type as it's still being explored and figured out.
==== Other servers ====There is also a [[test server]] which is allows testing of new game content. [[Valrei]], a moon of Wurm, has a special "server only" (no client, so we cannot go there) which simulates battles between the gods. (See [[Scenarios]] for more information.)
Finally there is a login server which is part of the infrastructure used to manage accounts. If the logon server is down, no accounts can logon to any of the other servers.
== Server type summary ==
The following table summaries the features of the four core server types.

=== Freedom servers ===
Fully owned by the native kingdom. The entire 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 frowned upon, and are bannable offenses in many instances. [[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.
A second The original Freedom server named was Independence. The second one to be created was Deliverance has been [http://www.wurmonline.com/blog/from-the-boss/deliverance/ released], which is situated to the server can be accessed through a portal at the end South border of the Tutorial or Independence. This was followed by sailing across Exodus, to the South border of IndependenceDeliverance.
A third The old Wild server became the fourth server to join Freedom server named Exodus has been [http://www.wurmonline.com/blog/from-the-boss/land-land-land/ released], It is now known as the Chaos server and can be accessed through a portal at by sailing across the end west border of any of the Tutorial or by three servers above. However, sailing back east across the South border of from Chaos will only take you to Deliverance.
A forth Freedom server named Most recently, Celebration has been [http://wurmonline.tumblr.com/post/24127944261/celebration-opened/ releasedrelease note], the server can be accessed through portal at the end of the Tutorial or by sailing across was added to the South border of Exodus. At this time, it is not connected to Chaos.
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 existing servers. Sailing back east across the border from Chaos will only take you to deliverance.
=== Wild servers ===
 
{{infobox | This information is out of date. The wild server was converted to Chaos, and 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.
=== Epic servers ===
Currently not much information is know about this server type as its still in the planning and implementation phase. Please refer to [[Epic servers will run scenarios that form the story. A scenario will have permanent impact on the world and the success is dependent on the players. More details have been given on the blog about epic[http://www.wurmonline.com/blog/from-the-boss/short-update-on-epic/Cluster]]for more information.
Epic servers are up! Please refer to [[Epic Cluster]] for more information.[[Category:Misc]][[Category:Servers]] === Test servers server ===The [[test servers server]] exists to test large game updates before they are added to the main servers. There is currently only one [[test server]].
