PatchNotes.png

  • New: You are now able to light furnaces if you are lacking a steel and flint with a kindling and a hot burnable item, both of which will be consumed.
    • If you happened to throw away or lose your steel and flint, you can now use hot burning items (wooden tools, wooden scraps, logs, cotton, cloth) along with a kindling to light a forge or oven.
    • Note that the item must be ‘burning’ and will be consumed when lighting the furnace.
    • Reminder: You can create a campfire using just a wood scrap and a kindling in order to get your burning wood or cloth items hot enough to light the furnace.
  • New:  Added title for 100 pickaxe.
  • Priest Change: Rite of Death is now able to be cast on Freedom servers but is a laundered version of the PvP ritual spell.
    • Rite of Death on Freedom servers will not create mycelium and will not cause head wounds, but will give the sleep bonus and skill bonus.
  • Priest Change: Updated the warning when using /transfer for the one time deity change to emphasize the WL/BL and pvp kingdom issues.
    • Warning: Converting to a deity on Freedom then travelling to a Chaos kingdom that does not align with your deity you will lose all faith and abilities granted, and you will stop following that deity. Libila does not align with WL kingdoms and Fo/Vynora/Magranon do not align with BL kingdoms.
  • Journal Change: A percentage indicator was added to some Journal entries which have multiple things required.
  • Journal Change: Casting a global spell achievement is now awarded to the caster as well as those linked to the caster.

  • Bugfix:  Fruit graphics have been removed from enchanted and infected trees as they cannot be harvested.
  • Bugfix: Fixed animations glitching back and forward during walking
  • Bugfix: After a year of vacation, birds have found their way back onto the skies of Wurm

W.S.A. Extended downtime: Independence lag

With the increase in Independence lag again we will be moving the Independence back to the backup hardware on the 5th of March, 2019. This will mean another 1-2 hour time frame as we move everything and set all servers up to communicate with the server again.

After this Independence is intended to remain on the backup hardware until the move to AWS is performed, but may change depending on time frames

W.S.A. Downtime and instability compensation

 

As a thank you for bearing with us while we deal with the extended lag issues on Independence and repeated downtime gamewide we have added 5 hours sleep bonus, up to the cap of 10 hours on all accounts. We also have a premium code for 3 days premium that can be redeemed on any account, simply type /redeemkey YKM74SCEI7UG-4F6EO5IMOS8S into the chat box ingame to enjoy three bonus days on us!

This coupon will be redeemable until server maintenance on the 7th of March, 2019.

Regards,

The Wurm team.
