Alternative character

Main Page :: Useful links for beginners :: Alternative characters

In Wurm, a player character can have multiple accounts, or alternative/alternate characters (alts). However, it is frowned upon and there are some restrictions which make it illegal to abuse alts. Abuse of alts is any action taken using an alt to gain an unfair advantage for a player's main character, at no risk to one's primary account, that would otherwise be unavailable to the user via normal gameplay:

Alts may not be used to:

• Act as a tank for a creature so that a player may safely gain fight skill from it
• Suicide back and forth between towns
• Steal

If any of the other rules are broken using an alt, a player's main accounts will be treated with the same punishment as an alt.

However, an alt may be used to:

• Spy on an opposing kingdom.
• Trade items back and forth between servers.
• Become a priest and use it to cast enchantments (regardless of kingdom).
• Store writs of buildings or deeds (which are no-drop anyway).
