** Sacrificing items when your Favor bar is full will still result in gaining deed bonuses instead of Favor (or pending Favor).

==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/177724-patch-notes-11aug20/ 200811]Patch Notes 11/AUG/20==
n the last patch, we introduced a stopgap mechanic to address an exploit regarding the ability to link more priests than your skill allowed.
While investigating this exploit, we discussed how linking many priests allows limitless favour, meaning that by merely purchasing many premium accounts, you can bypass the entire mechanic that balanced channelling skill gain and enchanting.
While this issue has existed for a long time on the older servers, in brand new servers this creates a significant divide between those able to pay for many premium accounts and those that cannot, and shows a massive balance issue.
To address this all we will be changing how skill gain works with multiple linked priests, allowing up to 2 linked priests at normal skill gain, with the skill gain decreasing per added priest.
We will continue to monitor the situation and make changes if necessary.
In addition to these changes, starting Monday, August 24th faith and deity will transfer between Northern Freedom PvE and Defiance. If you are a priest on both sides, the deity with the highest faith will take priority.
If you are in the HOTS kingdom your deity will be swapped to Libila.
* Change: Instead of reducing favor regeneration, linking now reduces Channeling skillgain depending on the number of links.
** For up to two links there is no skillgain penalty.
** For more than two additional linked characters, the penalty is 15% less skillgain for each linked character. The penalty is capped up to 90% less skillgain.
** We’ll be monitoring the situation and further changes may be considered based on balance and feedback.
* Change: To avoid losing faith, sermons will no longer cause alignment to go the opposite way of your deity’s alignment.
* Bugfix: Favor regeneration frequency is no longer affected by server lag.
==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/177654-patch-notes-10aug20/ 200810]Patch Notes 10/AUG/20==
* Change: More server optimizations to reduce lag during high player counts
* Change: Added a profanity filter to names during character creation
* Bugfix: Certain things on the server (such as creature movement) should no longer run at a higher pace after a period of lag
* Bugfix: Fixed buggy human zombies being erroneously respawned
* Bugfix: Fixed items disappearing from the crafting window if their material type changes
* Bugfix: Fixed decoration items taking damage in containers on deed
* Priest changes (these changes affect all servers):
** Fixed bug allowing more than intended priest links at one time
** When linking you are now given a debuff that reduces your favor regen by 5x – this will also last for 15 minutes after you break a link
** The minimum favor before being able to use the Favor for linked casts has been increased from 10 to 20
** This is a short term solution due to potential abuses brought to our attention over the last week. We will be looking at the way linked priests work and how favour regeneration works and adjusting it as necessary in a coming update.
==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/177518-patch-notes-08aug20/ 200808]Patch Notes: 08/AUG/20==
* Change: Spearfishing tweaks
** Reduced difficulty of catching fish with a spear
** Spearing your own foot is now less likely and results in less damage
* Bugfix: Meditation cooldowns will properly transfer between Northern Freedom PvP and PvE servers (to/from Defiance), since the skill is shared.
* Bugfix: Fixed sleep bonus running too slow and too fast due to server lag.
** Note: Testing results may vary as the time sleep bonus lasts for is also affected by the Fats bar (CCFP) – https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Cooking#Benefits
* Bugfix: Fixed cases where incorrect improve icons would show after tempering a high quality item
==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/177429-patch-notes-06aug20/ 200806]Patch Notes 06/AUG/20==
* Change: Maximum Archery skill that you can gain by using an archery target was increased to 45.
* Bugfix: Fixed bug that allowed players to get over 40 Archery on an archery target.
** Northern Freedom Only: We have identified a few players who used this bug to raise archery higher than intended. After verifying that their archery skill was below 45 before the bug was introduced in yesterdays patch, the Archery skill of those players will be moved back to 45.0.
==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/177386-patch-notes-05aug20/ 200805]Patch Notes 05/AUG/20==

==[https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/176500-patch-notes-new-tutorial-server/ 200725] Patch Notes: New Tutorial Server==
With the anticipation of the launch, we spent time ensuring our servers could handle the load of players, and beefing up the player limits to guarantee that.
Unfortunately, the tutorial server also handles player transfers, logins, and other vital connections, which meant the attempts to log in were hitting the login server twice as hard as it had to handle more connections per person.
We set the limit very cautiously, and we know this was a large cause of frustration, but while doing so, we took the steps necessary to address this.
Thanks to the hard work of our server dev, we have split the tutorial from the existing login server to a new, dedicated tutorial server, called Haven.
This addition will mean faster logins and transfers, and the hardware for the tutorial server can focus on players going through the tutorial alone.
We’ll be doing a more extensive review of this to share later, and thank you for your patience with this time!
As a means of apology, we will be extending the 30% skill gain and affinity gain chance by 2 days.
* PvP notes:Grave stones no longer stack in piles with other items.
* Grave stones will now spawn inside mines when a player is killed there.
* Removed 20 fight skill requirement to repair towers.
