Guidance is a new 2048x2048 server, aimed to host more of a controlled learning experience for people first starting to play Wurm. Playing on Guidance will differ significantly from the regular Wurm experience. Here is a list of the more important differences:

No deeds - players will instead use the new enclosure mechanics, which will allow them to protect a fenced area around their house, where the buildings permissions will be enforced. This will also prevent the fences that make the enclosure from being bashed by other players. To prevent abuse, the maximum size of the enclosure will depend on both the Carpentry skill and the size of the building
Players will only be able to own a single house on the entire server
House packing - players will be able to move their house to a regular server of their choice, packing it into an inventory item.
Skill limit - players will only be able to reach 30 skill, and accounts that transfer there will be capped to 30 skill (non-premium accounts are still limited to 20 skill)
No priests - players cannot become priests, and current priests will not have their priest abilities on this server
Limited creature type spawns - more dangerous creatures will not spawn on Guidance, so therell be no trolls or hell hounds chasing newbies there
No rifts, holy sites, uniques
Quests - inside the starter village, you will be able to find an NPC giving introductory tasks to anyone that wishes to do it. These will touch on multiple subjects that you need to learn to get started in the game, with new, more complex quests unlocking when you finish the simpler ones. Players can get some small rewards by finishing the quests, to help them on their way and motivate them further
Newbie buffs will not run out while the player is on Guidance

Some smaller QoL changes will make their way into the game when this releases as well, including:

New players that still have the newbie buff will no longer drop items on death - so on Guidance, new players will never lose items when dying
Scavenged iron rocks will give more iron
Players will be able to bash their own structures without 21 Body Strength (so also without premium)
Bashing bonus normally applied only while bashing structures on deeds, will now apply to all situations where an owner is bashing a structure, both on or off deed
Many actions will have their duration reduced, and low stamina will increase the action time less than before. This will affect low skill action timers the most.

More details of the changes will be in the changelog released on update day. Were also planning to launch a staff led village, as an exception to the no deed rule, to further assist newbies in learning the game. Having staff members around new players should also help us learn more about the pain points they encounter so that we may tweak the experience further. Players will be able to use a portal to exit or come back to Guidance at any time. Items will only leave that server, but may not be brought back there. We dont want to prevent people from playing with their friends if they want to learn the game on Guidance, so we allow everyone to use the portal to get there. However, it is not a regular playing server, so we do not recommend anyone to move there full-time. You can also expect moderation to be much more strict on the new server, so any intentional disruption to the actual new player learning experience won't be accepted there. Since its a lot of fresh concepts thatll make their way into the game with this, we will likely tweak it significantly after release according to feedback and how player retention looks after it goes live. Here are some pictures of the new quest UI and the new journal window (work in progress), which should become even more of a guide for the early game experience.

We're also ready to unveil the details of the new portal system. For more information, see the separate post here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1179680/view/5998312279131231252 We're not ready to give you a release date for Guidance and the other projects, but we intend to post a separate announcement with the release date in the upcoming days
