We don't have so much to show but do have some updates, including FAQ questions about Wurm Unlimited answered by Rolf, and a date for when Tich's new permissions work will start going live.
=== News #77: Wurm...

On October 21st, we'll be releasing Wurm Unlimited, a standalone version of the game that will allow you to play in a singleplayer world and host your own servers.
=== News #76: Dragon Armor Preview ===''By Doctorchese - [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/130305-news-76-dragon-armour-preview/#entry1338294/ Forum Link]* Apparently, a few devs have been working on "something big" for a few weeks now already. We don't know what it is, or why theyPvP Changes're working on it... will Code Club AB soon become a political party in Sweden? Or, back in-game, is Wurm finally going to get the rainbow colored unicorns it has needed so desperately for years? All we knew is that they're busy, and might have some information to share within the next few weeks!* A while ago, we mentioned that we'd focus on bigger features come fall. Well, the leaves are falling; we're now in a bit of a transition phase between a summer of little things and the coming months which will focus on bigger stuff. Keep an eye out for new posts, we'll be elaborating on or next big plans for the game!
=== News #75: Village Planner Progress ===''By Docterchese - [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/129917-news-75-village-planner-progress/#entry1334828/ Forum Link]* More work has gone towards After a week of discussion with the new village planning view this weekdev team, and barely an hour ago at we ave compiled a list of changes that we feel help improve the time current mechanics of postingPvP servers, Warlander successfully exported a deed to as well as pacing the 3rd party DeedPlanner program - which now includes details like buildings and fences!* In addition, more work has gone into way for the larger update later in-game viewer from Tich, like an overlay to show which tiles are underwater and a tooltip on mouseover to show what each type of tile is.* Tich also continued to work on the new permissions system this weekyear. Below These changed are examples of the proposed new building now open for discussion and deed permissions screensfeedback, and we will for with you can click here to give feedback on her proposed improvements to over the deed permissions system.* Lastly for dev news is a small change following week to the way ensure that wounds will be displayed.

There will be a red, black, white, green and a new blue version of both drakes and dragons, each with their own drake or scale type of armour material drop.* This week, the art team have also been working on giving steel items and armour their own look. The darker tint in the screenshot below shows what we're going for, and will eventually end up on most steel items ranging from horse armour to plate armour, differentiating the stronger metal from its iron counterpart.* Last week we told you about the new village plan export system that we're working on, that will allow you to export a plan of a deed to a 3rd party planning program like Warlander's Deed Planner 2. It's looking good, and below is a picture of a Wurmian hillside that was successfully exported from the game to the program, with 3D terrain and trees! Eventually, it will even export all floors and design features of buildings.

Hey EveryoneEaster 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!
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)'Easter Impalong. Wossoo stepped in a few months to convert the position at short notice, and I'm sure you'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.
IThere've s an impalong at the amazing Hill of Swedes deed on Deliverance this weekend, with Daash and 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 heavily involved in Wurmsighted, as well as the sound of GM's PR for a few months now chuckling as they assault the Deputy PRO, and so you shouldnpoor Wurmians. I't notice any change ll be popping in quality on your end with things like from time to time over the weekly news. weekend and hope to see you all there!
Without further ado, here's a bumper crop of more small improvements, many of which you actually haven't hears anything about before...'Cave dwellings public testing!'''

After a few weeks' break, we're now back with regular news postsThe hunt starts on March 22... ItYou's still a bit of a quiet week this week, but we ll have some news to share to get everything going againask Enki about that one.
The devs have also spent some time this week at Gamescom 2015 in Cologne, Germany. The devs have been every year now for a while--[[User:Zachariah|Zachariah]] ([[User talk:Zachariah|talk]]) 19:33, and it's a great way to kick off a new season of development - as well as some industry networking and meeting up with a few other members of the dev team who don't work in the Motala office.25 March 2016 (CET)
The plan for the next few weeks of development is to continue with bugfixes and small changes. As we've mentioned before, we'll start to look into the next "big feature" for Wurm in the fall. Expect to hear more on that in the coming weeks/months!=== Pristine Treasure Hunt ===
=== Wurmpedia improvements ===''By Wossoo - [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/126740139596-pristine-event-newsdate-70to-wurmpediabe-improvementsannounced/ Forum Link]''
Marni (bwg), as our new Wiki Head, has already started doing a fantastic job of organising the vast Wiki. The end goal will be a cohesive, accurate and highly informative Wiki that lists as much information as possible about the game. As a part of this, 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 2015, and the "manageable size" we have in mind is still far larger than that. Players will be able to apply next treasure hunt 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.March has been announced!

Upon arrival players will have the option to choose a chestnext object you are looking for.There The map pieces will be 10 chests that will contain like a prize set consisting of a rare tool/weaponpuzzle, a useful item of some sort, and a silver coin. These chests it will be obviously different from up to you to determine the other 11 chestsproper orientation of the pieces on the map as I have randomly turned most of them 90 or 180 degrees.Of those 11 chests, there will be 5 low value prizes, (probably just a couple I promise you none of silver); 5 medium value prizes (either just the rare tool/weaponthem are turned 270 degrees, or if you find any that are in just means you went the useful item, not exactly sure which yet)long way around.
* 5 of the chests This will contain 3 silver each.* 5 chests will contain the same rare tool/weapon as the prize sets above.* The final chest will contain the grand prizebe a good time to brush off your basic image editing skills, which consists of 5 silver and a group of supreme tools.* There will be no way to tell which of these 11 chests here is whichcopy and paste skills as well.
