Content Update

A new content update is coming to Wurm Online this Thursday, September 18th ~14:00 CEST.

Prepare your ships! Reports are coming in of new places for sailors to drop anchor, but beware — some say the wilderness is becoming overrun with foul encampments.

We expect the downtime to be brief, lasting around one hour. However, if any critical issues arise, we may need to bring the servers down again throughout the day for any immediate fixes.

We appreciate your patience.

Patch Notes 2-SEP-2025

Server Changelog

  • Bugfix: Poison damage wounds will now glance as they should.

We apologise for the confusion regarding the recent announced bugfix. The change to glance rates for poison damage will not be implemented with this patch. This was an intended change, not a bugfix, designed to allow poison damage to glance against creatures at a reduced rate; however, we believe this tweak requires further review to better understand its impact on game balance.

Our team will continue to work on this feature and will release a more detailed and explanatory patch note once it’s ready to go live. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Docks and Goblin Camps now open for public testing

We’re delighted to announce that Docks and Goblin Camps are now open for public testing! Thank you for your patience and support as we’ve worked to bring these new features to the world of Wurm Online.
