The Warhammer Online rogue server Return of Reckoning has put out a fresh patch recently, which isn’t exactly full of jaw-dropping features but has lots of likely desired tweaks all the same.

As of 1:00 p.m. EDT today, Steam users are able to snap up Wurm Online on the platform. As in the full sandbox title and its playerbase, not the standalone side-game Wurm Unlimited.
