The tutorial triggers when you do not have the educated title You use /skiptutorial to skip it

We're aware of stamina drain issues when moving, this will be addressed in a hotfix. It is NOT intended and will not remain this way. use the command /skiptutorial but you get a title!

And we're live!

The old system of fishing does still work, a rod and line + hook will catch small fish useful for basic meals

Not a bugged update Many games go down for significantly longer periods of time, given the complexity and amount of this update that could not be recreated on a test environment we're pretty pleased with how it's progressed and will continue to do so. Cheers, will update my signature some time.

As you all know from the various showcases, discussions and patch notes, Haven's Landing will be the new single spawn point for new players into the game. It comes with a lot of special features, such as the ability for players to build houses in the perimeter, open crafting zones for new and old players alike, and a design aimed at encouraging players to not just pass through, but spend their time there living. As this was designed, we decided to record the building of it as best we could, using the awesome timelapse feature of Wurm, a poor GM left in the cold, and lots of use of the weather tool, we recorded some amazing shots of the deed being built. We hope you all enjoy watching it almost as much as we did building it, and that you drop in and check it out sometime!

It's been there since 1 hour into the update, as well as notified on Discord (Which is an official communication channel) ʀᴇᴛʀᴏɢʀᴀᴅᴇToday at 1:44 AM The update will take a little longer, we're getting the hotfixes out of the way while you're all off the server Expect another hour minimum ʀᴇᴛʀᴏɢʀᴀᴅᴇToday at 4:20 AM The servers are still down, ignore the launcher

There is a giant red banner on the top of every forum page saying exactly that.

These are not fixes requiring any input, this is testing systems and identifying bugs with the live environment before it's opened to players., This has zero to do with player input and everything to do with making sure the major issues are quashed before it even goes live. We do appreciate your patience, I'm sure you're aware updates of this magnitude and downtime are few and far between. Once we have worked through these issues we will open the servers back up.

in the grand scheme of thing, an update months in the making taking 6 or so hours to implement is not any major length of time. The amount spent on a game does not change how it should be treated, we endeavour to make this as quick and painless as possible, and the fact is by not allowing players on we can deal with these situations quicker and resolve it faster.

breathe mate, deep breaths

The delays in getting this setup are the areas we cannot test, working with 13 different live servers, different character creation, chaos > freedom transfers and a hundred other factors. We fully expected this update to take time, which is why we gave it such a large downtime to begin with. This has zero to do with "maybe they should have tested it more" because everything that was showcased is absolutely ready, we expect a bug or ten but we haven't hit that stage yet, we're dealing with Libila on freedom, new tutorials and characters skipping GV entirely. It takes time to get this right and we appreciate your patience.

Yes, there will be an upgrade option on the old rods

You're welcome to have chickens still roam, they will still lay eggs so there's no problem there.

Don't listen to the launcher, players won't be able to connect for a while longer

Sorry, this was removed! Jump online and share lists with players!

Yes, we can very effectively create new bugs

We can fix bugs and add new bugs. Yay for being able to do more than one thing at a time!

First Also, I probably missed stuff

Come again? It'll be out in the next few hours

Only if your tomorrow is in the next few hours

It will be out before christmas Unless your christmas is in the next few hours

colours wouldnt have been changed for unborn foals. We're investigating but so far have zero indication it's anything other than random happenstance. We'll keep monitoring it into the new year and see how it turns out, but the colour deciding code works as intended and everything on test has turned out okay.

does relogging clear it?

Yes that's very possible that the higher power draw as everything kicks up a gear is causing it to fail.
