==== A Third Freedom Server has been launched [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/139679- Exodus ====patch-notes-24mar16/#comment-1432119 Patch Notes]
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).'''PvP Changes'''
The idea is After a week of discussion with the dev team, we ave compiled a list of changes that it will cater for those who felt they missed out on we feel help improve the soft spots current mechanics of Deliverance. I think Exodus is a beautiful server personallyPvP servers, but I may be shooting off as well as pacing the way for the larger update later in the target with it because it’s so infested with creatures that I fear people will dieyear. Instead of successfully settling the landThese changed are now open for discussion and feedback, they and we will respawn at for with you over the start village without their tools and weapons, surrounded by equally fragile newbiesfollowing week to ensure that they are positive changes.
If you decide to go there, do not blame me for leading you on! I have tried to warn youThe full list of proposed changed can be found in our feature feedback thread [http://forum. You will need to survive long enough to settle downwurmonline. Then again, backing up into the water or onto the boat should suffice in most situations I guesscom/index.php?/topic/139735-upcoming-pvp-changes/ here].
What you who start 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 way."<br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 11:42, 23 September 2011 (UTC)</small>'''Easter!'''
==== A Second Freedom Server has been launched - Deliverance ====Easter is upon us, and that mean several things, namely, the Easter 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!
Due to congestion and the relative difficulty of finding virgin lands on the current Independence server, we’ve decided that it is time to release a new Freedom server'''Easter Impalong. We shall call it Deliverance and it will be the new default server for newbies.This historical land rush event – the first in several years – is scheduled Tuesday at 18.00 hrs CET (the 6th of Sept). The new lands will be located south of the existing Independence server and you will be able to sail there. The only portal that leads to it will be from the tutorial server. Due to technical difficulties the launch was postponed for 1 day.<br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 01:07, 14 September 2011 (UTC)</small>'''
==== 50/50 ratio for aggressive There's an impalong at the amazing Hill of Swedes deed on Deliverance this weekend, with Daash and non-aggressive animals ====co. putting on a tremendous setup, one of my favorite impalong locations so far (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 weekend and hope to see you all there!
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 to breed more animals, 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]]. <br><small>--[[User:Mirabelle|Mirabelle]] 08:24, 29 April 2011 (UTC)</small>'''Cave dwellings public testing!'''

Boats and ships can now The hunt will be made on the main serversan I spy game. They require You will be given a lot piece of parts a map with a location marked n it. It will be up to be made though, so you will need more than one person working on one to complete find out where it!is and what it is based on the clue given by examining each item of the hunt.
<small>--[[Player:Godly|Godly]] 15:50Each window will consist of a code to retrieve the net piece of the map and the description of the next object you are looking for. The map pieces will be like a puzzle, 28 June 2008 (GMT)</small>it will be up to you to determine the proper orientation of the pieces on the map as I have randomly turned most of them 90 or 180 degrees. I promise you none of them are turned 270 degrees, if you find any that are in just means you went the long way around.
==== Test Server - Boats ====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 good. So be careful and get the clue the first time every time!
Boats are currently in pubilc testing on the [[test server]]This will be a good time to brush off your basic image editing skills, so to help Rolf finish the code and get them implemented into the main servers test them copy and post bugs in the City Hall topic on boatspaste skills as well.
