'''So another treasure hunt is upon us.''' I've scaled this one back a bit from the last oneThis will be an impalong, which was a bit overly complex you may come and confusing in some respects. There is only a single runget your items imped up to 70ql, with 12 clues. The end of the hunt will have: * 10 chests with prizes that there will be immediately available-OR-* 20 keys, a limit of 5 items or one of which will open a grand prize chest at the start townarmour set. This is to make sure we can help as many players as possible.
In addition We hope to the grand prize, see you there will be 19 other chests in the start town, each with a small item in them as consolation prizes so anyone who manages to get a key will get something, even if its not the grand prize.!

We will be releasing the Spring Update next week, on Tuesday 12th May. We don't have a specific time set, but will aim to release as soon as we can on the day. Key updates:* The first and main feature of the update will be bridges. The feature will be released in full, allowing for all kinds of creativity... ranging from bridges across water and valleys to bridges between buildings, in four flavours: rope, wood, stone and marble.* We are also releasing a couple of other features in the release, the first of which is the new boat models. The boats themselves will go unchanged, but all boat types will get updated models.* The last part of the update will be stairs. That concludes this week's news. Excited?

Should function in the same way as flowerpots.=== May ===* You may now mail all mailable items outside containers in order to prevent C.O.D scams. Only liquids should be possible to mail inside containers.* Enabled DIG (and DREDGE) under bridges.* Enabled planting flowers/grass/moss under bridges.* Enable planting of thatch in buildings (so makes grass).* Made it so centred trees auto-planting themselves will stay in centre on deed, and have a 75% chance to stay in centre if off deed.* Ignore structure permissions for bridges. E.g. treat it like the items were outside.* Removed the Scenario Point reward for moving deities on Valrei using Karma since it was considered an exploit by other players.* Removed ability to Absorb on mycelium lawns.* Added in a way to get height above water when surveying (helper has to be in water).* New staircase added called Standalone, it does not have a floor above it.* The new collision system may have made some old inaccessible areas accessible depending on how your deed is set up when it comes to walls and structures. You may consider restructuring your deed in order to prevent such access. Proper roofs still collide endlessly upwards which means these can be used to prevent access from above.* Most Valrei item prizes were split up in three with one charge each. There is only possibility for one Key to the Heavens, Wand of the Seas and Rod of Eruption each round still. One player may win more than one if lucky.* Should now be possible to convert to evil deities in HOTS template kingdoms.=== April ===* Champions are now limited to 3 per kingdom.* Artifacts will now drop upon death.* Artifact damage no longer stacks with enemy presence bonus, Truestrike11, Hate path increased damage, Rod effect or Warrior deity bonus damage.* You no longer can teleport when carrying an artifact.* Artifacts now properly drop on ground during controlled restarts.* The Eye of Vynora now will detect through NoLocate spells.* Global PMs are now on as default when you create a new character.* The Elevation server is open with the new map. Good luck everyone!* There’s a new deity in Wurm – Tosiek has ascended and became the first player in the game to found his own religion! There are people converting already. Some quirks still remain and converting is a bit of a gamble.=== 21 March ===* The Trebuchet, Ballista, Siege Shield, Spike Barrier, Magical Turrets and Archery Towers that were tested on Challenge are now live on all servers! Expect further tweaking as more feedback trickles in.* Meditation path change delay of 24 hours added* You can now turn walls!* Removed ability for animals to be lead by using a mooring rope (it was letting multiple animals to be lead by the same mooring rope)* The new wall types are live: Timber Jetty, Timber Balcony, Wooden Wide Window, Wooden Canopy Door, Plain Stone Oriel, Decorated Stone Oriel. Enjoy!* The poll for an Elevation Map reset has been finished, with the result of Yes [172 (68%)] versus No [78 (31%)].* Rumours have it that Vynora is focusing on some sort of research and will no longer partake in Valrei Missions like before. Vynora followers are expected to do Fo missions instead.* Merged Epic numbers in who lists as well as stats pages* Made local list premium only on Epic as a sort of spy prevention 2016 (already was implemented on ChaosCET)* Flattened some areas in the Elevation HOTA zone. It looks pretty ugly right now but is hopefully an improvement.=== February ===* You now haul heavy things up and down multi storey buildings using a rope. You need to be positioned at floor openings.=== January ===* New [[Tapestry|tapestries]]* Fix for dislocation when dropping dirt in a vehicle* Shield bashing should now work better. It is harder to bash heavier and fat creatures and defender body control also increases difficulty.* Dodging is now easier when you weight less and have less body fat.* Archery damage is now a bit more random.
