New ingame music!

We are really excited to announce the new album made for Wurm Online by Tom E Morrison, “Wurm Online Travel & Exploration”.

The music was released on iTunes and Spotify earlier this week, and you can hear it ingame today.

Compared to the previous album, “Meditation & Work”, these new songs are designed for travelling and have a higher overall tempo and a contemporary sound. Even though the soundscape works very well with the long roads, vast plains and distant mountain ranges of Wurm, this is not your common fantasy music.

The album tells a story about travelling through the lands of Wurm and the song titles contain a few names that players may recognize such as Iron Gap or Haven Bay. Initially the album contained a song called “Meeting the Blood Roy” as well, but it was replaced.

As usual, the songs in Wurm play only now and then according to certain algorithms and in order to hear these new tracks you have to venture out of your settlement.

In case you can’t wait for the music to play ingame, here are a few handy links where you can find the album:

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ie/album/wurm-online-travel-exploration/id768175554

Spotify: Tom E Morrison – Wurm Online – Travel & Exploration: Chapter 1

The next album will be named “Wurm Online Battle & Danger” and the project is scheduled to begin during the spring of 2014.

Catapults, Valrei, PMK tweaks

  • Catapulting skillchecks tweaked
  • Curb damage tweaked
  • Valrei: Demigods will no longer attack friendly gods
  • Valrei: When a Demigod slays an enemy, any items that enemy carried will be scattered on the map. The current Source Diamonds were moved to random regions
  • The ruler of a PMK may now expel kingdom members at will
  • You can no longer invite players with negative reputation since in order to avoid leave-grief-join abuse
  • The Physical Damage buff and Poison debuff for Epic abilities have been tweaked downwards

 

Game back online!

Finally we’ve managed to get our servers back online!

These are the details of the situation:

  • Since the servers have been shut down not a lot of ingame time has passed so there was negligble decay and settlement upkeep cost.
  • Those of you who had premium time this Friday have been reimbursed 7 days premium time.
  • Everyone has received full sleep bonus
  • There is a 24 hour PvP ban on the Chaos server where a raid took place. The reason behind the ban is to let stranded players get home safely.
  • The decision to block corpse looting except by the person who died was never implemented. This will help friends and allies retrieve corpses.

Thank you for your support through this ordeal!

Servers still offline

We have taken the game servers offline for now since they were unplayable and sluggish. We are investigating why, since the DOS attack should be over. The most probable cause is that our hosting provider is limiting our bandwidth.

Servers are up but slow

The servers are online again, but they are painfully slow. You should consider whether you really want to log on in case your character is in a dangerous area. We are investigating the matter and will get more news out when available.
