The folks at Wurm Online have announced several new hires as well as a redesign of their official site.

Rolf Jansson, the owner of Wurm Online has recruited new members to the client development team and given them their heads to get on and make the client faster, leaner, prettier - anything they see as benefiting the game and the players. They have already been chasing down a list of bugs and have made a quite impressive list of proposed improvements. All of the team are regular players of Wurm Online and have a very wide range of experience that Rolf was looking for.

Wurm Online has gotten itself a fresh new website. But it goes farther than just a new template. We have now included specific sections for the three peoples of Wurm; Jenn Kellon, Mol Rehan and the Horde of the Summoned. We hope that players will contribute stories and news to these sections, not just for their own pleasure but so new players and visitors can get a real feel for what this unique game is all about.
