The folks tat Wurm Online have announced that they are adding a new tutorial server to their sandbox MMO to help ease entry into the game.

As part of the on going development of Wurm Online, we have moved the tutorial process from the main Jenn Kellon home server to its own small dedicated land. All new accounts will now go straight to this new server. From here Wurmians will be able to choose which Premium server they wish to go to.

This is a fully functional server and is free to use. However, player skills will be capped as with the original Free to Play accounts.

Once players have played themselves silly on the new server, they are welcome to buy premium from the shop and use the portals to move onto the main Wurm Online server. They have the option of Jenn Kellon home and Mol Rehan Home, both non PvP servers, or they can join the Wild lands of either kingdom for an in-your-face, PvP environment.

And if they want to join the highly secretive Horde of the Summoned, then they need to travel to the wild server and go in search of them.

A Change for the Jenn Kellon Home Server

The Jenn Kellon home server will no longer be Free to Play, however existing free to play accounts will be welcome to carry on without upgrading. We have no intentions of chasing them off at this stage! They are our friends, after all!

The new land, named Golden Valley, is a small beautiful land, currently alive with new players running around, chopping down trees, digging the land, tunnelling into mountains and learning this very challenging MMO.

This is a major step for Wurm Online, but as we add more information and help to the new server we hope that it will make Wurm just that little easier in the beginning, while still being a very challenging game on the main servers for players of all types, both crafting and PvP
