A new (old) Challenger has come forth!    Last month the Gold Diggers of Legends Shard defeated a surprisingly fierce team Awesome Sauce of Lake Superior. There will be no surprises this time around, however, as the Gold Diggers face a seasoned team of veterans, the Blue Beetles of Catskills. The following is the Challenge laid forth by Catskills, and the response issued by Legends: My Dearest Helios and Miko,    How are things? It has been some time since we have spoken. How has your shard been, and Miko – did you ever get that boil removed? Adris […]

The extended downtime of Oceania today is supposed to have fixed the issues this shard encountered in the previous weeks. We want to thank you for your patience during that time and will continue to keep a close eye on your shard.

Update 2:45pm EDT: Oceania is back online, too. Update 1:45pm EDT: All shards except Oceania are back online. Greetings! We will be bringing all shard offline tomorrow, Wednesday April 18, at 11 am EDT (3pm GMT) for maintenance to improve the login process. This maintenance will replace the regular morning maintenance; it includes TC1. At this time we anticipate that the shards will be back online no later than 2 pm EDT (6 pm GMT). Please be sure to check the Herald for updates regarding this downtime.

Why did you choose Sonoma for your home?  How long have you been here? Fourteen years ago family members were playing UO and kept asking me to join them. It took about a year for me to ‘just try playing it’ and since they play on Sonoma, because of its friendly community atmosphere, it became my ‘home’.   How did you come up with the name Queen Mum? The family suggested it because they consider me the Queen of Cookies and they call me Mum. So, we just put the two names together.   How did you get started organizing […]

Written by the EM Team     The key was clenched tightly in his hand as he made his way to the ruins that were left of his masters once great castle; the ramparts had been shattered and burned wreckage lay everywhere, but in his mind’s eye it was all still as it had been, and he found his way towards the area he sought. As he approached he could tell that despite the crazed and lunatic nature of the mobs that had destroyed, sacked, and burned his lords home to the ground, none were able to pierce the heavily ensorcelled […]

One of the most important persons at our partner site UO Stratics celebrates her 3rd anniversary today. Petra shows an incredible dedication and helped to make UO Stratics what it is today. Our whole team congratulates Petra and wishes her all the best for the next years – 3 years might be not as long as the 15 years UO faces this year, but we are sure she is working on it. Why don’t you head over to their forum and congratulate her, too?

Written by the EM Team      Buzzards circled high in the sky above the inland roads that led away from the ferries of Skara Brae, their lazy paths taking them in loops above whatever carcass lay beneath. Artemia took notice of them as she crept silently through the forest, hot on the heels of the hart she’d spied an hour earlier. The old stag was a crafty one and had kept out of any clean shots so far, but she knew that ahead lay a clearing before the land gave way to the road. If she was going to get […]

Update 4:40pm EST: Origin is back online with the fix. Greetings, Due to an issue with players dropping their robes discovered on Origin, we are forced to do a revert of the shard back to this morning.

We would like to acknowledge the hard work of UOGuide and all the support they have given UO in the past and the future.  Due to their hard work and dedication we were able to speed up the implementation of Item property classifier system by using the UOGuide site as a reference.  Special thanks to the UOGuide team for doing such a great job! And our apologizes to them for not calling this out weeks ago. The UO Team
