All Britannians take warning, the realm is invaded! Vile creatures swarm our cities and it is up to you to drive them out! Visit the Town Crier located at the Britain Commons (Britain Bank on Siege) in order to find out which city must be defended! Good luck!

Greetings,
To give everyone additional activities to do during these trying times we have revisited some past events. To continue to keep things fresh we will be sun-setting the Treasures of Tokuno event and reactivating the 20th Anniversary Invasion. This transition will occur on May 12, 2020. You will still be able to turn in your minor artifacts to the Imperial Minister of Trade in the Rokuon Cultural Center and Shops in Zento.
See you in Britannia,

Greetings all,
We are aware of the issue with Atlantic crashing and are working to resolve the cause. We do not have an estimate time this will be fixed but wanted everyone to know we are aware of it and will keep you informed of our progress.
We hope everyone is staying safe and all of our good wishes go out to each of you and your families.
Have a great weekend,
UO Team

Greetings,
With each shard’s normally scheduled maintenance beginning with Japanese shards on April 7, 2020 we will be deploying the following hotfixes,
We have also migrated the Vendor Search server and performed maintenance to improve search performance with named searches and to deal with the high volumes of searches we are experiencing.
We will be taking Vendor Search offline prior to performing maintenance to implement this improvement which will then require the re-population of all vendor search data over a 24 hour period.

Greetings,
With each shard’s normally scheduled maintenance beginning March 31, 2020 the following hotfixes will be deployed,
We are also aware of the issues related to vendor search and character transfers that have been reported. This is due to increased demand and players online. We will be performing upgrades on those services in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on UO.com for updates.
We have also become aware of a number of issues related to the use of impassable objects to impact other players in the game world. Please be aware that GMs will no longer be issuing warnings for these violations and those abusing these items will face immediate action on their accounts. Violators will receive a 72 hour ban. We take this very seriously and we hope by doing this the behavior stops.

Please note that Vendor Search will be disabled until the publish has been deployed to all shards while maintenance is performed on the database.

Greetings everyone,
We will be publishing 108, Tuesday March 24th to all shards. All updates will be active after normal scheduled maintenance.
We know many of you are asking us to turn off Housing Decay. We will not be doing that at this time due to the fact there is a 90 day grace period after closing an account for the houses to fall. After 2 months we will review the status of where everyone is at due to the virus and make our decision at that time. Please understand when we turn off housing decay this makes it so no one can place a house, resize a house or customize a house in any ways. So please understand we have to be very careful when we make this decision.
With many of our players confined to their houses we are going to be turning on Treasures of Tokuno to give everyone an old favorite that has been requested many times. Enjoy!!
Thanks for your understanding,
Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong
