A few custom kingdom changes

  • Since custom kingdoms are meant to be a community feature and not a way to gain extra powers, the requirements to form one has been increased again to 40 players.
  • For the same reason, custom kingdoms may no longer create new alliances. Existing kingdom alliances can remain though.
  • The cost and time for casting wall spells have been tweaked upwards (to 400 karma)
  • We are now using a new support ticket system
  • The friend list has been updated in order to reduce the strain on the login server

Money Distribution!

  • We have greatly improved the way money is distributed in Wurm by making it possible to sell low value items to traders and tokens by selecting the item, right-clicking the trader (or token) and selecting sell. You will receive up to 10 iron coins per item like this and may currently earn up to 5 copper coins per hour. You can find a more elaborate description of the system in City Hall at http://forum.wurmonline.com
  • Hate path tiles have been bugfixed
  • When joining a custom kingdom, village alliances are now broken. If you were the head of an alliance the alliance is disbanded.
  • You can now right-click rock shards and select Discard to get rid of them immediately.
  • You can bind SELL in the client console. It will work both for selling and discarding.
  • Mycelium now spreads properly to bush tiles
