Server News 2024-04-29: Server Core Upgrade

(Part 2)

Upgrade is finally over ! UO White Wolf is open again.


Many things have changed, so make sure to first check if everything is  working as intented.


Right now, web server status isn't working right. A fix will be applied to the database in the coming days.


Here's a summary of the big changes. A more detailed patch note will follow in the coming days.


Items that couldn't be kept : 

-all active BODs and related BOD Books and Ultima BOD Books. The way they are working now is very different. There are new professions now included : Alchemy, Tinkering, Carpentry, Animal Taming, ... Contact Staff to have your BOD Books and Keys replaced. Single BODs will have to be gathered again. For a limited time, BODs will be given in Luna with new respawn delay, as a compensation.

- Pumpkin carving kits, as they are not longer considered as tools

- all former boats, as they were heavily reworked with the work on finishing High Seas expansion since 2015. Ask Staff for replacement if you owned a boat.

- Gargoyle Necklace, as it used to be considered a jewel, but recently changed to an armor type of item. Contact staff if you lost any gargoyle necklace and it will be replaced.

- Active Arcane Focus, as they are now handled as a decaying item.

- Corguls Handbook On Mysticism, which is now considered as a Mystic Book and not anymore just as a spellbook. If you owned one, contact staff to have a new one.

- Engraving Tools in general were completely reworked. Contact Staff if you lost yours.

- Healing Stones.

- All Peerless Keys. As they are now treated as decaying items, they couldn't be saved. If you had active Peerless Keys, contact staff and they will be replaced.

- Some specific High Seas fishes, which we used to have as a seperate expansion. They are now included inside High Seas.

- Vote Tokens. Once again, they were all erased. We are switching again to the new system, which wasn't working correctly last time. This time it works flawlessly. As a conflict existed, all VoteTokens were removed. Contact Staff in game with the amount of vote tokens you had and you will find them back in your backpack in the coming days. Thank you for this.

- Some kinds of costumes. Contact Staff if you had a specific kind of costume, so it can be replaced.


All player characters are safe and sound

- Maximum Total Statcap is now 450

- Maximum Single Statcaps are now 200

- Maximum Enhanced Single Statcaps are now 250

- Maximum Hit Points have been increased for everyone

- The skillball at charcater creation now allow a range from 10 to 200 to each stat.


Some creatures were destroyed, but as they are mostly monsters, they will fast respawn in their new shapes. For examples, Void Creatures are now behaving differently.


Custom features added:

- corrundum, nexus and titan, coming in Metal, Scales, Leather, Granite and Wood.

- new EVOs : EVO Ferret, EVO Vampire Mongbat, EVO Cu Sidhe

- Mercenaries can now breed with a maximum of Level 60. A limit had to be set, so EVO Mercenaries don't become the ultimate one shot everything pet.

- a lot, a LOT of custom bossess and mobile have been added. Each of them drop sets of armor according to their theme. They also drop reward tickets and various things to discover.

- stone vendors are now mobile vendors. They will dress in the color of the currency you can use. All vendors haven't been added again so far. More will come. You will find them in our new social hub (designed by GM Hades).

- invasions now work 100% smoothly and there will be three invasions a day : For newer players, Britain Graveyard (Trammel) will be attacked twice a day (server time: 4:20am and 4:20pm. check server time with [time command). And for veteran players, a cycle of 7 random invasions that will happen once a day, at different times, and cycle every week so everyone has a chance to attend and get the rewards. An invasion is a set of 3 waves, with more and more difficult monster. The 3rd wave includes several copies of our custom bosses, including their regular loot. Invasions are not designed to be run alone, but with a range of 10-20 players. It is probable that you will die ... a lot. Despite not achieving to complete fighting an invasion and killing the required amount of mobs and bosses, you will get ranked at the end of the invasion. The first 10 players get rewards : from 1 million gold to 100.000 gold. Just attending the event is enough to get points and get ranked, but being in the top 10 depends on how many players joined and fought. Points are gained through killing monsters and portals. Good luck !

- instanced dungeons. For now, there is only one of them : Sewers of Britain dungeon. With time, more dungeons will be added. Those dungeons can only be started either alone or with a group of friends as a party. Once started, nobody else can join the fight. There is a limited amount of time to complete the dungeon. You can cancel anytime by exiting the dungeon by the entrance gate.


Most Default OSI features until Time of Legends are now included.
