Wurm
Online Open New NON PvP Server
Wurm Online is absolutely delighted
to announce the opening of a new server on the world of Wurm. This is the first
server in a new group of servers called the Freedom Isles, named in respect for
the people who have left the Kingdoms of Mol Rehan and Jenn Kellon in search of
a more peaceful life, All the servers in this group will be strictly non-pvp and
with controls to reduce the chance of player harassment and griefing. But this
is not an easy land. It still has wild beasts that can be deadly, it has
mountains and lakes and forests to be survived. The challenges will be as mighty
as ever, but it will remain war-free.
These new servers are the perfect
balance between casual gaming and a more challenging game. They are suitable for
players who wish to spend many days digging and shaping the land and building
vast monuments, or beautiful villages and towns. But they are also ideal for the
player who wishes a smaller, simpler life, where they can make friends and chat
and soak up the Wurmian sun in peace and quiet (and then run like a rabbit
because they left the gate open and a bear just walked in!)
The Freedom Isles are premium only
servers that can be chosen using the new portal on Golden Valley, Wurm’s
free-to-play starter server. Players on the existing servers of Mol Rehan, Jenn
Kellon and Wild have been offered a grace period where they can travel with all
they can carry, and get a full refund on disbanding their deeds. This grace
period only applies to players who were premium players on the existing home
servers before the launch date of the new server.
Many players will still remain on
the original lands of Wurm, and they will all be moving to the Wild server where
Jenn Kellon comes head to head with Mol Rahan, and the Horde of the Summoned
convert players to their own black god, Libila. Over the next few weeks, the old
home servers will be wound down in preparation for the launch of a new, exciting
scenario server – Epic. More details soon!
Wurm Online is an MMO which prides
itself with never standing still. The team have recognised that there is a
market for players who do not wish to be involved in PvP, who want a quiet life
and focus on the terraforming aspects of the game. With the additional server
group, the Freedom Isles, Wurm Online now offers a cutting edge, challenging
game that can appeal equally to both markets.
