Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Deeds on Caza We frequently have complaints about too many deeds on our islands. While we think that there is still enough open space, some players like to deed in areas without any neighbors close by, which makes Sklotopolis less interesting to them. But we finally have a solution for this problem, Caza will be our new option for people who want to go the extra mile to be able to deed on a mostly untouched land alone. Caza will be open for deeds with the penalty that upkeep will be enabled on Caza and there will be no free deeds, this makes sure that Caza will have enough space to deed away from neighbours permanently, and not just for the first few weeks. The space on Caza is not free, resulting in an interesting place for players who want to have a deed alone and an endgame goal for existing players. Deeds on Caza will not have any guards for now. We also want to point out that this is an experiment, so deeds on Caza might be only be available for a short timeframe, but existing deeds will of course be allowed to stay as long as they have enough upkeep, so make sure you do not wait too long if you want to have a deed over there. At the moment, we hope everything turns out good and deeds will always be available on Caza in the future. There also is a livemap for Caza since we moved the new server hardware: https://andistyr.github.io/wu-map/14818/ How will we continue from here? You now have at least 2 weeks time before we open Caza for deeds, this means that in this time you should make sure to have houses built in case you want to protect some land from players deeding over it. There will be a countdown for the time when we allow deeds to be founded on Caza in about 2 weeks. Is it really necessary to have free deeds disabled and upkeep enabled? Yes, there is no other way to prevent a massive landrush with land hoarding resulting in the same problems we see on the main islands. Deeds on our main islands will be free forever. Are there any special rules for deeding on Caza? Yes, you are not allowed to use the perimeter or the deed itself to grief, loot, or disturb any offdeed buildings / players. You are not allowed to deed over the range of a creature spawner that spawns special creatures like epic mobs, which do not spawn naturally, without making sure that all players can access the spawned creatures, attack them and fully butcher/loot them.

Posted May 8 (edited) Sklotopolis Infinity: A brand New Chapter With a rich history dating back to 2015, Sklotopolis has been a haven for players looking for a sandbox experience on 3 servers that have never been wiped in the last almost 9 years. But, after such a long time many players have 8+ years head start in comparison to new players. This makes Sklotopolis not newbie friendly because new players have no real chance in catching up and on the player markets the long-time players have a massive advantage, giving new players no real challenge on our servers anymore. As a solution to this problem, we proudly unveil our latest innovation: Sklotopolis Infinity. Sklotopolis Infinity has all Sklotopolis mods installed and emerges as a solution to the needs of our player base while constantly attracting new players. Recognizing the importance of maintaining a welcoming environment for all players, Sklotopolis introduces Infinity, a new cluster designed to provide a fresh start for everyone. In Infinity, every player begins anew, with skills and items left behind on the original servers Liberty, Novus and Caza. On Infinity the slate is wiped clean, offering an equal footing for veterans and newcomers alike to forge their paths in a world untainted by past achievements. However, Infinity is more than just a fresh server cluster, unlike the original servers (Liberty, Novus, Caza) which will never be wiped, Infinity operates on a unique model of periodic resets. Approximately every year, the servers within the Infinity cluster undergo a reset. With new servers launching every 6-12 months, players can continually embark on new adventures, adapting to new maps and challenges with each iteration. But what truly sets Sklotopolis Infinity apart from other Wurm Unlimited servers is its seamless integration with the original servers. While Infinity offers the thrill of starting anew, players don’t need to fear losing their hard-earned progress. Players can freely travel from Infinity to the Original servers (but not in the other direction), ensuring that no skill or items are lost when an Infinity server resets. Even as servers within Infinity reset periodically, players retain the ability to access their accounts on the original servers, transporting items and continuing their adventures without interruption over there. This unique synergy between Infinity and the original servers ensures that players can enjoy the best of both worlds: the excitement of fresh beginnings and the stability of established servers. Plus, whenever an Infinity server is reset, the world will be available for download, so even your old deed is accessible to you forever. Nothing will ever be lost. In a move that showcases Sklotopolis' commitment to excellence, the first server of Sklotopolis Infinity is generated using a special map created with the commercial tool World Machine, the same tool that Notch used when generating the first Wurm Gold servers back in 2007.Sklotopolis Infinity represents not just a new chapter, but a reinvention of the Wurm Unlimited experience. So, whether you're a seasoned veteran or a wide-eyed newcomer, prepare to embark on a journey like no other. Infinity will open on the 25th of May, 2024 at 9pm UTC.
