Management policy: Valkir Isles is a non-profit organization. We plan to host the server forever. If due to circumstances we are no longer able to host server, we will look for a hosting successor with the same values and aid in the transfer to minimize impact on the players. Valkir Isles will not sell any silver, items or other in-game content that can be considered pay-to-win.
Events and rewards: GM hosted events on the server are aimed to included both new and veteran players, but occasionally it will be more directed to a certain group. Certain rewards will never be part of the reward pool: strange bones, dragon scale, dragon hide, sorcery tomes, weapons, armor and tools.
Other items that have a lesser impact on the economy can be part of of the rewards: treasure maps, sleep powder, cosmetics, 2x2 resource tiles, affinity skill. These lists are not exhaustive, but are meant as an indication of what you can expect.
Gameplay policy: Valkir Isles focuses on maintaining a similar experience as Wurm Online. Of course, being a Wurm unlimited server, we will also implement some quality of life mods. All mods and their settings are published . These settings will not change unless there is a change to the mod itself or to solve an exploitable bug. If new mods get developed over time that fits the vision of Valkir Isles, they will be put up for a vote. Votes regarding changes in the mod list require a 80% majority before being accepted and will have a voting window of one month. Accounts that have joined less then a month ago will not be excluded from the vote.
Macro policy: Allowed with some limitations. We have decided that you should be present at your computer if you decide to use automation tools (or are using other afk skill training tricks). We will occasionally visit some players and check on their compliance on the macro policy. If the GM notices that the player is performing actions during the visit, he will send a PM to the player with a message similar to "macro check", but might vary slightly or even be a simple question to prevent automated responses. We expect a player to respond within 60 minutes. If the player is still performing actions after 60 minutes and has not replied to the GM, the player will receive a penalty. The penalty will at least be a kick from the server to interrupt the macro. Multiple offenses can lead to skill penalties, removal of affinities and for frequent offenders even permanent bans.
Client side modding: As it is not possible to keep up to date on all available mods, the only mod we formally allow is livemap. As long as valkir isles doesn't have a pvp server or pvp zone (HOTA), the use of ESP or other visual aids are allowed as well.
Chat moderation policy: Refrain from settling disputes in global chat or on the discord channel. If warnings from the moderation team are not respected, mutes or bans can be issued.
