Server has been taken down for a period of 24 up to 48 hours. It is time to patch our core files with an upgrade coming from ServUO pub57.3. I would only advice you to go and read the latest changes they made, either on their website : https://www.servuo.com or on their GitHub (if you are a bit of a developer) : https://github.com/ServUO/ServUO
Basically, we are upgrading the server from JustUO, emulator which ended in 2016, to an active emulator ServUO. Doing this, and that was the challenge, we are keeping all our custom scripts AND the world saves. Nothing's lost, except a few corrupted "things" in the world saves. A list will be published. The downtime is so long for 1 main reason : to keep your current progress, all your items and characters, we have to go through all kinds of errors at first launch of the new ServUO code. This means, I have counted them all myself while working on the test center, going 1 by 1 through each character created on our server. Some go okay, some gotta be fixed. But one important thing is that the server has to be offline during the whole process, so no progress is lost.
Most new features come from OSI/official servers High Seas, Time of Legends and Endless Journey expansions. Take time also to read the wiki on https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/ ) as everything there will be on UO White Wolf also (nearly everything). UO Guide (https://www.uoguide.com/Main_Page is also a very good website to get to know more about "default" UO and latest features coming to our Shard.
The server will be back online this weekend. Maybe earlier than the 24-48 planned downtime, so stay tuned for an update of this news topic.
Thank you for your patience. Hopefully the wait is worth it.
Have a good weekend !

PS: GM Hades left us yesterday. He was a very good Staff member, so when you will step the new training center, you all think about him and his highly valuable decorating skills. Take care Hades ! You will be missed.
