Well, well ! I've been contacted by a few of you, either in game or from the website. It seems a lot of you found it was a bit of a pity to loose "everything". It wasn't just about starting over from scratch with a new character and no possessions. It was also about not having welcome packs, slower skill gains, less "tricks" known by our veteran players, less custom content making the whole experience globally less fun to play.
I hear you ! And you are right. I guess I had in mind a different project. Actually, a different game. But not really UO White Wolf.
So today, servers are online with backups from 2021. It was a very nice time where a lot of content was still in game, and somehow a lot of work had already been done to clean up the code and fix bugs making the server crash/freeze/stall. Hopefully the old ghosts from UO White Wolf won't come back. Around 2017 until 2021 more or less, the Shard was randomly freezing. It was very hard to find the reason, but if I could fix it once, I will fix it another time if it happens again.
Thank you for the feedback, guys and girls. Always there for you and the community. This is a project of passion and it's done for you and your fun in game.
The ideas about Achievements and New Crafting System aren't lost. I'll bring them step by step through patches and carefully testing the compatibility with the current version of our Shard.
Don't hesitate to give feedback ! You see : you can be heard :-)
