Posted June 25, 2014 Hearing stories of people traveling back and forth between servers, I noticed that some people are doing a lot of unnecessary sailing. So I made this little Travel Guide to hopefully make your sailing trips a bit quicker (Open image in New Tab and zoom in for best viewing)Tips and Tricks : Server Funneling (not an official term, just something I came up with)(Open image in New Tab and zoom in for best viewing)If anything you feel needs changing, please let me know!

Posted June 25, 2014 Is it just me or 6 of the servers seems... empty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2014 Oh right. Please make a big note that do not attempt to cross near the corner of any server if you don't want to get stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Is it just me or 6 of the servers seems... empty. Yeah, I need to get the maps then update the link. large Images dont load very quickly at all when your internet is snailing at 10kbps.. Oh right. Please make a big note that do not attempt to cross near the corner of any server if you don't want to get stuck. Will do!Edit: Added a warning in the "Funneling" Guide and mentioning "You can do exactly the same with Xanadu - No longer need the Chaos / PvP server hop."

Posted June 25, 2014 ( . ) ( . ) Just for Jberg. Well done guide! I wish I'd had this on Xanadu's opening day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2014 Well done. I have some experience sailing back and worth Indy Xanadu and if someone wants to go NW Xanadu from SE Indy. I recommend Deliverance NE corner route more. Sometimes I have ended SW corner of Xanadu from SE corner of Indy. It has not been so simple as it would be in theory. But generally I agree with Boombza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I have ended SW corner of Xanadu from SE corner of Indy. It has not been so simple as it would be in theory. But generally I agree with BoombzaMy goal was to get people to understand the concept of server crossing, how it works and learning about shortcuts. As long as people can understand the basic of it all then that's good enough Edited June 26, 2014 by boombza Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 28, 2017 I know this is old but as someone on Xan who might wish to travel around; is this map still available? I ask because the first post has the .jpg names but no links. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 30, 2017 there is a wurm travel map in this thread: https://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/59431-quick-server-guide/ (http://blackburrow.s3-external-3.amazonaws.com/overmap/wurm_overmap.jpg) But when plot course was added it changed sailing completely and forever!https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Plot_course So the map will show you whats connected to you like the in game map does. But on Freedom you are no longer bound to just sail to the servers/maps that are attached to your server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
