Wurm Online Addresses Player Experience with Comprehensive Updates

September 30, 2025 - Wurm Online, the beloved sandbox MMORPG that has redefined open-world gaming, has released a series of updates aimed at enhancing player experience. Since its inception, Wurm Online has stood as a testament to the possibilities of open-world gameplay, allowing players to dig, mine, and shape their environment in ways that leave a lasting impact.

Among the notable new features are adjustments to bridge construction mechanics, enabling bridges to connect to docks exclusively through stone supports. Additionally, chess enthusiasts will appreciate the implementation of castling on chess boards, though en passant remains a pending feature. The updates also address connectivity issues for 1-tile-long bridges to dock floors, eliminating the need for an overhead structure.

Bug fixes were a focal point of this update cycle, with developers addressing several player-reported issues:

• Bridge Planning Fixes: Errors where bridge planning incorrectly assessed wall and floor heights for supports have been resolved.
• Goblin Camp Decorations: Server restarts no longer lock decorations in place, ensuring they remain movable as intended.
• Combat Adjustments: Players can no longer engage in melee combat with goblins within watchtowers, streamlining gameplay interactions.
• Ground Raising Fixes: Issues preventing ground raising under concrete floors too close to the ground have been resolved.
• Item Movement Consistency: The Place command now behaves more predictably when moving large items between floors, bridges, and dock floors.

Further updates include corrections for cave mining anomalies that previously caused floors to rise unexpectedly or prevented tunnel openings within close proximity of surface structures. Players will also notice improved consistency in resource node outputs, ensuring metal lumps now reflect the correct material composition.
