From today all NEW players that sign up to Wurm will be immediately transported to a small Free to Play tutorial server with sandbox - the Land of Golden Valley.

They will be able to do the tutorials here and learn lots about Wurm in a smaller, more accessible land.

Once they are happy, they can then upgrade to premium and use the Portals which we are building on the server to transport themselves to their new lands of Jenn Kellon and Mol Rehan - the home lands and the Wild!

As time goes on, we will increase the amount of information available on this Entry Land, add ambassadors for the kingdoms, add audio to the tutorials to make them clearer and hopefully a little more fun, and many other developments.

The aim is to make getting into Wurm a little easier for the new player without taking away from the great challenges that can be posed on the main lands of Wurm.

There will be some restrictions - PvP will be disabled completely and the server will be neutral so that players can see examples of the peoples and towers from all kingdoms.

Jenn Kellon no longer free to play

Also from today, the main servers of Jenn Kellon Home, Mol Rehan Home and the Wild Server will only admit new players who are Premium.

However, because we appreciate that on Jenn Kellon we have had many Free to Play Wurmians who have contributed to the society, for the time being existing Free to Play users will be able to continue to play with our thanks. However, we would encourage them to upgrade to Premium as soon as they can.

Alts

For the moment, the same applies to Alts - but again, we would encourage players to upgrade their alts to premium as soon as they can.

Thanks for you patience while we make these needed changes and a few others we have waiting in the wings!

Rolf and the Wurm Team
