I’m happy to announce that a new map named “Nysa” is coming to Otherlands on Friday, August 14th at 17:00 UTC! (13:00 EDT / 10:00 PDT)
Initially the server will be available to new characters only, and you will be starting completely naked. You can read about how to start without anything in wurm here: www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Crude_tools
During the launch period travel and mail to/from Nysa will not be available from existing serves. There will be special unique titles, achievements and other rewards available during that time!
The server will have 5 dragons spawned at launch, once those are killed (or a month passes without them dying) the server will be connected to the rest of the cluster and normal travel will be available by boats and portals.
You can create a character on Nysa by logging to Otherlands PVE Cluster with a new name and picking “Nysa – Freedom PVE (Character creation only)” from the creation screen.
Once created your name will be reserved and you’ll be able to play that character once the server is open.
Special rewards
During the launch period all characters created on Nysa will receive the “Explorer” title and unlock a special “A Fresh Start” journal tier.
A Fresh Start requires the following achievements for completion:
Reach 70 FS
Visit the Hellmaw Volcano and examine a boulder
Complete a mission from one of the gods
Equip a magic ring or necklace
Reach 90 in any skill
Kill a Dragon
Kill a Warmaster
If you manage to complete all the above during the launch period you will receive the “Conqueror” title and a supreme blueprint.
The blueprint can be used to begin construction on one item from the following list (that will be guaranteed to be of supreme quality):
Salesman and Bartenders added to Origin (Nysa starter deed)
Compasses can now be made using any cooking oil, not just olive
Wood Essence recipe changed – now uses sprout instead of log (so you can make them in bush types)
Deer can now be groomed
Added MailMerchants mod by Budda - Allows accessing merchants remotely through a mailbox
For a merchant to be accessible it needs to be on the same tile as an enchanted mailbox, or placed on a permanent village (starting deeds for each server)
Added paintings mod by Coldie
Adds decorative paintings and stained glass
For paintings search your crafting window for “Framed Portrait” / “Framed Landscape” – the image can be selected after the item is created
For stained glass look for “Window Portrait” numbered 1-10 (you can see the images on coldie’s thread on the forums)
