Good afternoon everyone,

    We will be having an extended maintenance tomorrow on Oceania to preform some required maintenance.  This should only extend the maintenance time by an hour.

    We are also looking to start Advisor training on TC1 so please be kind to them when you see them.  We are also looking to publish phase 2 of Vice and Virtue which includes the removal of Factions.  We have fixed the crash issue related to the traders quest.  

    We are changing the boat decay back to the normal 14 day decay rate,  starting tonight with Japan’s regular maintanence cycle, all other shards will get this during their normal maintenance cycle.

   Please be aware that if you try to do a character transfer from a Japanese shard to a US shard during this time you will not be able to due to the fact they will be out of sync.  Please hold off till all shards have received this update tomorrow.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone,

   We have experienced some issues with the backup on Yamato hanging up causing issues and not allowing players to log in.  To fix this we are having to do a 7.5 hour revert on Yamato.  We have currently taking it down and are working to get it back up.  We are sorry for the inconvience and will get it back up as soon as possible.

Thank you,

UO Team

Good Afternoon Everyone,

   With everything going on I thought I would take a few moments and let you guys know what we have been up to.

   Kyronix and I just got back from Orlando Florida.  We were invited to speak at SyndCon and get a chance to talk about what we are doing and get alot of feedback from the players face to face.  It’s always nice to put faces to the names, and be able to talk to you guys in person.  We really enjoy having any chance to do this, thank you!  We would like to take this chance to give a big shout out to The Syndicate for adding another year to their record, Congrats!!

   On a different note, we would like to thank everyone for your patience while we worked out the shield transfer token fix.  We are still taking care of a few loose ends and hope to have most of it finished by the end of this week.

   We are working on an update to hopefully publish TC1 this week so we look forward to your feedback.  Please keep an eye on UO.Com for the updated notes.

    We are doing a Backpack Art Contest only on the shards that do not have owners to the Abyss Houses.  Please check our facebook page for the rules to the contest and the shards which will be eligible.

   We will be sending out more invites to join the Internal Vice vs Viture Focus group this week.  Please check your emails and respond as soon as possible.

   Last but not least,  I am sure everyone has seen an increase in the decay rate of items on the ground, houses, and boats.  This is due to a fix we had to put in for a shard crash.  Due to the fact that the house decay does not give players enough time to move their items from one house to another, we are going to be putting in another patch to change this.  Players will have 5 days for a house to decay.

Till next time, see you in Britannia!
Bonnie “Mesanna” Armstrong

Good afternoon,,

    We are putting out a new client patch which should fix the Japaense cliloc errors tonight .  All servers will receive a publish during their normal maintenance hours to change the way the 14th Anniversary Shard Shields function.  They will now only allow transfers once every 2 weeks.  You will see a disturbance in Character transfers until all shards get the same server version.

Thanks everyone!
