As most After a week of you have noticed during all these years we’ve kept discussion with the dev team, we ave compiled a low profile when it comes to attracting customerslist of changes that we feel help improve the current mechanics of PvP servers, as well as pacing the way for the larger update later in the year. It has been a deliberate strategy due to our special development situation. It has worked well These changed are now open for discussion and feedback, and we have attracted will for with you over the customer base we’ve needed following week to keep the flame burningensure that they are positive changes.
Once we’ve released, that strategy will change to a more open one and we will spend more time communicating next yearThe full list of proposed changed can be found in our feature feedback thread [http://forum.wurmonline.

I'll be popping in from time to time over the weekend and hope to see you all there!
==== A Fourth Freedom Server has been launched - Celebration ===='''Cave dwellings public testing!'''
From Rolf (mail): "All This weekend is the launch of our public testing for cave dwellings!

From Rolf (blog): "The Deliverance server is still being settled'''I spy with my little eye, 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 15something begging with !, 2011).its a treasure hunt!'''
The idea is that it will cater Enki has put together a wonderful fun hunt for those who felt they missed out the next weekend on the soft spots of Deliverance. Pristine, I think Exodus is tested it myself and it proved to be quite entertain, If you're a beautiful server personallyprofessional Treasure hunter, but I may be shooting off the target with it because it’s so infested with creatures that I fear people will die. Instead of successfully settling the landor a master at i spy, they will respawn pr just awesome at the start village without their tools and weaponsjigsaw puzzles, surrounded by equally fragile newbies.this hunt is bound to be your kind of thing!
If you decide to go there, do not blame me for leading you The hunt starts on! I have tried to warn youMarch 22... You will need to survive long enough 'll have to settle down. Then again, backing up into the water or onto the boat should suffice in most situations I guessask Enki about that one.
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:MirabelleZachariah|MirabelleZachariah]] 11([[User talk:Zachariah|talk]]) 19:4233, 23 September 2011 25 March 2016 (UTCCET)</small>
