One year of Freedom PDF Print E-mail

A chorus of cheers could be heard across Freedom last week as the server celebrated it's milestone 1 year birthday. Many were excited and many dismayed that it had been 1 year already. For many it seems to have been yesterday that they sailed to the Freedom Isles seeking refuge from the wars that spilled over from wild, to settle in the awe inspiring mountains, vast plains and endless forests of this proud server. 

As with any milestone event in Wurm there were Wurmians working hard away trying to make the day special. One such player was Berris who spent his day mailing out free enchanted tools to those who needed them. When I asked him about his charitable actions he had this to say;
"I like that the Wurm community has events like impalongs and treasure hunts where people give their time and items freely for the fun of others.  I just wanted to do something like that, keep the spirit alive."

It would seem with many on Freedom the spirit has been kept, with many players joining the initiative and taking up hammer, carving knife and hatchet to make a difference in the lives of their brethren. Though there have been many notable community achievements over the past year including the Black Dragon Slaying and Cave Canal Project but certainly in my mind the Academy of Enlightenment has been one of the top ongoing projects. 

The Academy on freedom


The Academy has a proud history spanning back to Jenn-Kellon Home and under the wise leadership of Dannyiron has continued it's good work on Freedom over the past year. At the Academy new players can can learn learn the in and outs of the game under the watchful eyes of the teachers and elders there. The tireless efforts of Dannyiron, Elwood, Chjees, Slon and Freckleskitty to provide the necessary knowledge and resources to allow strangers to the land excel have made a huge impact. 

The future for the academy looks bright too with teachers in training and the student count just surpassing 20 with new players arriving almost daily in the quest for knowledge. One such student is DragonHaart who has been at the academy for nearly 2 weeks now. I managed to corner him to find out about his experience in the academy;
"It's been excellent actually, I never intended to stay very long on first arriving. I soon found out that I didnt know much and have been here ever since. I've learnt alot, what you learn in GV really has no relevance over here. Elwood and Dannyiron are clearly the most helpful people I've seen since i got here, eager to help/teach and otherwise show you whats right."

Training in the Academy


So in the hands of these wonderful Wurmians we can look forward to another year on Freedom and have high hopes for the future. Happy Birthday Freedom!
