This week, devs have continued working on a variety of things. There's less to show this week as most of it was behind the scenes, including some code cleanup and management improvements to the server code, and we hence didn't roll out any clients patches this week. 'Java Security Warning'''

It's news time again! You may have already noticed a change of title under my name, and that's because earlier this week Wossoo stepped down as Public Relations Officer (PRO). Wossoo stepped in a few months to convert the position at short notice, and I'm sure youPvP Changes'll agree that he did a great job of keeping everything ticking! He's currently to busy with his real-like PR job, but will remain on the team as a Public Relations Assistant so we won't lose his know-how.
I've been heavily involved in Wurm's PR for After a week of discussion with the dev team, we ave compiled a few months now list of changes that we feel help improve the current mechanics of PvP servers, as well as pacing the Deputy PROway for the larger update later in the year. These changed are now open for discussion and feedback, and so we will for with you shouldn't notice any change in quality on your end with things like over the weekly newsfollowing week to ensure that they are positive changes.

As or a part of thismaster at i spy, we will be reducing the number of player accounts to a more manageable size. Less than 30 players have edited the Wiki since the start of 2015pr just awesome at jigsaw puzzles, and the "manageable size" we have in mind this hunt is still far larger than that. Players will be able bound to apply for an account in what will simply be a slightly stricter and more monitored system than before. This will help to ensure that edit standards can be set and that vandalism/security issues can be prevented, while still keeping the Wiki open to all to contribute to.your kind of thing!

'''So another treasure hunt is upon us.''' I've scaled this one back After a bit from the last onemonth of jumping in and out of PvP chats, which was a bit overly complex I have finished my PvP review and confusing in some respects. There is only a single runforwarded it on to the development team, who almost took my hand with 12 clues. The end of the hunt it! We will discuss this most likely on Monday or Tuesday, and have: * 10 chests with prizes that will be immediately available-OR-* 20 keyssomething ready to put forward next week in regards to changes and outlines, one of which will open a grand prize chest at the start town.so stay tuned!
In addition to the grand prizeThis week saw a fix for caves that had large spaces with floors that weren't reinforced. This affected a few players negatively, there will be 19 other chests in and was quickly removed. We apologise for the start towninconvenience caused, each and I have arranged with a small item in the GM team that any heratige sites that have had veins appear from this issue can have them as consolation prizes so anyone who manages to get a key will get something, even if its not the grand prizeremoved via support ticket. Please note this is for heratige sites only.

The boats themselves will go unchanged, but all boat types will get updated models.* The last part of the update will be stairs.=== Easter Impalong ===
