After i logged on and more TC showed up too, we waited longime on BD. The Order forces spreaded (the guilds) and CWO that spys found camping at ebank was not willing to move back to BD. (as they are all townies its a little understandable though)
TC tryed to get them out of ebank, but first we were outnumbered, second all ebank population dispelled our daemons, and sorry we cant stand townies with mages in town :)
We had some confrontations with XL which was order, BT and some DR, that were fighting with CWO together(?) at ebank as well as with some SoA earlier the day.

Vampirehunter D joins today TC in test week. This may be surprising, but after longer talks he shows beeing a nice one.
We usually consider taking ppl that were longtime in pvp guildS/or switching cause they especially those switching see a guild serving themself, and are not willing to also serve the guild, learn about the guild etc, cause the guild has no deeper importantce for them.
So far that i see Vampirehunter D he is not like that. Please help him to learn us know in the test week, so he learns to know us, our play style and our hm morals. :)
Welcome.

It began slowly.. with Yume fighting as Julio (she was banned 24hours for makroing, and Julio lent her the account) in Ocllo while slowly more and more order showed up.
We decided to group with some EBR and attack Ocllo. The fight was going well until more and more Order showed up. At the end we had to retreat with losses on both sides.
While beginning to regroup on Trinsic they made a counter attack, so we had to switch bank
EBR showed much presence, and from 9 ppl 6 were ebr, while only 3 TC's were online at that point. We heard from our Spys that they gated to BD. With 9 ppl we gated there, to find a now huge opposition, consinsting of C*A and SoA as wellas some odd order guild. After fighting we had to retreat and regroup again with losses on EBR side.
The regrouping was going well, we heard that they were moving in front of covetous and we attacked there again. Drake EBR though made a very unlocky gate in front of them :) and while killing some, we lost again some ppl.
A ghost counted 23 Orders that time as ICE,WHO and S*L were involved too. While we had after losses 9 ppl on duty until we became help from more OoO and one FOB.
We were regrouping in Nujhlem and RUN showed also up making a no-agression for that fight-day with ebr to stand the order forces.
The Orders visited Nujhlem but gated out to fight us out of town.
While regrouping more TC showed up and we attacked BD where they had moved in the meantime. THough not all Order seemed to be there we could kill most of the opposition that time while using the Bridge as strategic (though i hate bd) point which gave us a help.

You see BD after the third Chaos attack

They tryed shortly after a counter attack on bd, but the Gates were catastrophal in front of us and it was a sloughter.

Waiting for their return

Shortly after they tryed another attack over the bridge and from n/w, which we could fight back

Order at the last BD attack, attacking over the bridge

Shortly after we heard that they are ready in front of covetous again. We made the big marche from BD to Covetous entrance where the final battle of that day took place. It was a cool fighting day which lasted around 6 hours fighting. The Last fight lasted around 25 min

The big Chaos march from BD to Covetous entrance

Thanks to all involved parties ! it was very cool, and the "not so funny" pictures were hopefully an exception

You see Vampire D eating as slime the rests of his body after a lost fight

in the early morning hours we began "duel" ev's

As we came always from out of town, we were in full tmage group, and couldnt stand that.
So we had to group and wake some wmages too. When they gated the next time in trins, they came with 2 daemons, but were awaited also by 3 daemons, and our wmages, with tmage support. they lost 1, rest recalled .. though the numbers were somewhat even and that was sad. I mean what are you complaining of ? If the numbers are uneven you recall. if the numbers are uneven for us, we will consider fighting. but if the numbers are ok, why not fighting ??
We gated to search them and found them gating out jhelom to moon. Sadly 2 of 5 TC's missed the gate, the rune was blocked and in 3vs5 CWO in moon we lost Fatboyslim.
Shortly after we found a group of 5 FOB gating around (they are chaos) whom we told to search CWO.. we gated a little with them around to find CWO in ocllo, though they recalled (understandable at that point).

TC meets FOB

While we had enough of boring town fights we began to search all dungs.. FOB left cause the group was really too big, and most of them were townies anyway.
I dont remember exactly what happened after.. :) though we fought soa in decite and ocllo.. later in bd, but as run joined in

TC in ocllo after a longer fight

they were not enough to really fight that opposition. In Moon was a town fight with ICE, CWO and at the end also some C*A and SpA arriving, which were in total enough, but while not arriving as group they couldnt win that fight, as also some Townie-Chaos guilds were there i think.. im really not sure cause i came from a party.. ;o)

25'
was bedides fighting with soe soa in early hours, which again were not enough, some Dr, S*L, BT and later ICE it was a no-order at all day.
EBR and RUN were fighting each others though nearly the entire day. *jealous*

Thats very anoying, and sad, cause its like calling one of the 2 in a trap. We should really think about what doing about that situation.
Best for us would be if both would peace themself.. but that would be not best for the overall pvp..

BFG finding a new leaing position as Art Director :)

that was due the installation of a new hd.. than the experiments of an odd guy with scripts, and later the failout of a nameserver.
we apolognize for any inconveniences ;P

We gated there and found FOB and EBR fighting with 4 SoA/AoA that had to retreat.. (with us we were around 3x more)
They tryed though to attack 2 times again, in the meantime the Chaos forces became smaller, as FOB went to bed. Also RUN gated in, to fight Order though found EBR (which they are warring) and had to retreat.
After nothing showed up all began to spread again.. While we were talking on Trinsic roof, a gate opened, and SoA/AoA and C*A came with 1 drake and 1 dragon in now big group (i was sure they would counter attack:) and we had to retreat. A TC'which was just on the way to group recalled in that group and died tragically but could tell us now where they gate to :)
We began to group with EBR at the Ebank, gated out of town to summon some daemons to hear that they gated to Buccs Den.
With some gate problems we arrived to bd to face the huge opposition. The Ghost counted around 13-14 Orders, and RUN made an online break at that time. We lost some EBR there, though the bigges (somewhat lame for pvp) problem were the drake and the dragon.
The remaining forces grouped at ebank, to see tham gated in soon later. We tryed a little to spread them, which was somewhat effective, but had to retreat. SoA/AoA made than a break and left C*A which became now help from some ICE (or was it P+H).
C*A lost than Ebank as well as their dragon.
We made a counter attack on ocllo where the rest of the divided C*A's were and got some of them.
Was funny, though if its up to make monster wars well get our tamers in TC and come next times with "enough" dragons. Lets see if that gives fun or not.
In the late night we had an even fight against a mixed 6(?)'er group of Dr(?) and C*A(they fought together it seems?) in Shame Blood where we were with RUN at that time. They lost that battle.

He was already there and saw GM SOL and SCouns Raven holding the celebrations.. A little late, but soon enough to bring felicitations we were gated, and could congatulate them :) Good luck.

The Marriage (picture by Lillith before we arrived though)

After interesting discussions the results: We allied with RUN. We remain allied with EBR (check their latest news concerning EBR changes) and will watch if our old friends vitalize again over 1 month. Thats not meant as "threat" or something, but we really planned to reduce drastic our ally list.
We like EBR and we would really enjoy if they would find back to a vital point, where we can really fight and cooperate together.

Resulting from the RUN allianced we peaced RUN until all know each other and made some relations. Of course we got the stone bug, which makes us orange for them and they blue for us, but that should be resolved 23.9

The Ally list will contain only RUN and EBR and will be updated 23.9 like the Warlist(which is not up tp date anyway)
GdG and 666 were removed from the ally list. First GdG is not what we understand as "ally", though we will not attack them due to historical reasons, friendships, etc. and 666 is only in the new lands which is not very interesting atm.

which resulted later in some

Our allied list didnt changed for months now, but it should be clear, that after this chat those beeing orange will be killed without any problem again, and those allied are allied.
It cant be that there are 1 day alliances etc, resulting in problems whether to attack or not.
We will work out a clear line, and act on that line :)
If the alliance that was made for the weekend will continue, which will be decided tomorrow, the list will be updated and cleanded. We dont need "whom to attack , and whom not" problems. If after the alliance is made, problems arise with even bigger groups, than its bad luck

Instant-Alliance with a chaos guild that we are warring should be avoided(we'll discuss in chat)
it makes much more problems than its worth it.
we will hold the chat beginning from 22:00 CET

ATM we continue declaring every single Chaos Guild war.

Shard Publish, Sept. 22

We will be publishing an update to the shards on Wednesday, September 22nd. This is the first publish that the current Development Team, led by SunSword, Toad, and Runesabre, has worked on from start to finish and we are very excited about implementing these features.

The publish will progress in the following manner:

The North American Shards will be kept down after their daily maintenance.
At approximately 8am CDT, the Europa Shard will be updated with the publish. While shard will remain up during this time, after it finishes its current back-up it will be brought down.
Approximately one hour after the Shard goes down, the Europa Shard will be brought up internally with new changes. We will perform a quick check on the Shard before we make it available and will monitor the shard for any issues.
Once we are satisfied with the results, the Drachenfels Shard and all of the North America Shards will be updated and brought back up. We expect to have all of the shards back up by approximately 12pm CDT.
The Arirang and the Japanese Shards will also be held down after their daily maintenance. When they return from their maintenance, they will also have the changes.
The publish will include all of the features and fixes listed In Testing. Note that some of the information listed in In Testing has changed slightly. Once we update all of the other shards, we will move this information into Latest Game Updates.

Yumesenshis history was added
Kird was added

looks like owo.com.. reads like owo.com.. well at least nearly ;)

Thanks to Schlachtbeil which made our TC logos :)
Resulting later in the looting of ICE tower
(between the battles we made some duels, look duels)
[i missed all mentioned things above, so some points or locations could be wrong]
C*A switched after the losses back to standard, while TC continued to have this day heavy fights with SoA. In Decite was the biggest escalation, near and in LL room, where we could decide the battle for us, though the survived SoA continued to attack even in now very less numbers trying to make a Gate-Trap (i think :)
Later we attacked them while preparing in Ocllo where also some WHO were waiting, but from 7 TC in decite, 5 were left on for that. The fight was ecomplicated but going well, until also CWO the townie guild arrived which was too much for us. With one loss we had to reatreat, and in a counter attack, they took Trinsic. While killing some CWO (?) out of town we could not find the numbers to fight the now 6-8 orders gating around.
Later Yumesenshi and Penelope encountered Dorian Grey and Azmodan Johnson and made some Duels (look duels)

After the long decite fight

Though we admitted to not know Dr, good, so that we may consider it later. Necro wanted a clear statement, which was no at that moement.
One hour later we met the 5 Dr, in BD. While Delekahn began first to fight with them, Wood recalled in and fought, to have BFG with Imperator later coming into, and at the end gating also Jirikis (Gaurons assassin-mage brother) into the fighting area. Dr, had to retreat with losses. It was a very nice fight though our impression about Dr, was very negative after a fight hours later where we fought now 7 TC against 2 Dr, and had the new-ress later playing the jerk.

With SoA a Decite battle 4SoA vs 3 TC was fought, though with one loss we had to retreat, just to hear that Order was everywhere. As we didnt had the numbers at that moment (4 TC ready to fight), we had meet RUN which was also online with 3 ppl, and not enough to stand the opposition.
So we made again no-agression for this day, and attacked SoA (now in big numbers) in Decite and Ocllo.
The big battle was in front of Cove, where SoA was waiting for us. with somewhat even numbers (we were 7 together) SoA lost that battle.
But in such a battle and in battles like these there are no real winners or losers. It was a great fun, and i think all got fun out of that (ok besides losing a little stuff on the other side). It remembered of old battles on the old shards, and the last 2 days were really enjoyed.

eisenugly and delekahn

the friendly duels after an interesting day

I dont have all fights back in mind, cause there were a lot. Funniest were in Ice Island, Decite with RUN, and against a huge Order opposition in BD and Ocllo.
The Ice Island fight was after a little Ocllo fight against SoA,C*A+else which ended first with a retreat and later with the taking over of the town.
On Ice Island a tower was near collapsing, and in front of this building we found C*A. They had to retreat first, and came shortly after with SoA and eh many members back.. A long and extremly nice battle began where we had to retreat after with 1 loss and 1 kill.
While the Ghosts (Fraya and Aphrodite) -which should block placing of houses if the tower collapses- we placed there from 2nd Computers counted 15 orders we began to search in britain for Chaos to aid us in this fight.
Side Note: when we gated Fraya there, Delekahn TC as typical automatism entered the Gate.. coming back 2 seconds later throught the gate with exactly 0 hp and without horse *g*.
The searching for chaos was somewhat successful, and we had soon after around 13 ppl waiting to gate back in.
Through our placed ghosts we heard that the Tower-defenders got information about our grouping of chaos, and sadly C*A switched before we reached the tower back to standard.
With the hungry Chaos guys we gated to ocllo where we found the rest of Orders, but this time the numbers were on our side overmatched.


You see some ppl yelling Mooooo !

In the late night some still awake SoA and ICE made a counter attack on Trinsic which was not successful. We responded the attack and got them in preparations in ocllo some minutes later, where already many daemons were waiting. That should be the last Order/Chaos confrontation this day.

We met RUN later in the night in BD, Shame and Decite, where Decite was more interesting cause the numbers were even. eisenugly died though as first target, and the Aremites crashed, which made them having to retreat.

Delekahn: PII-400 running on 416mhz, 256mb, matrox g400, latest driver
Woodstock: P3-500, 256mb, matrox g400, latest driver
Running the client under a 32bit color depth workplace makes you slow noticeable slower, no matter if fullscreen, 565colors in uo, or windowed while 800x600 or 1024x768 bigwindow.
The client performs fastest while under 16bit or 24bit workplace color depth. (the matrox has a cursor problem with 16bit in windowed + UO) and you have to use 24bit packed bits.
Matrox 400: running monitor 1 on 640x480 like above bwin settings + 2nd monitor = slower than the other system in 800x600+1024x768 using full colors.
The cool results: 800x600 with 1024x768 bwin with 24bit was not slower than 640x480 FS, 640x480 FS+565 Colors, 640x480+800x600 or 640x480+1024x768
with these Systems. That means that Woodstock finally uses full colors (no longer 565) and 800x600.
Of course there may be a difference when there is much load to be done, like heavy crowded areas, where the 640x480+else faster settings could give you a performance load advantage to the 800x600 settings. in normal areas there were no differences at all.
We performed the tests multiple times to avoid too much lag and ploss falsificating our tests.

Delekahn insisted to make duels to see how good he is now with 60 ping
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : Aborted, Woodstock complained about Dels Staff
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : draw (very long.wood very down after that duel where she was nearly only in defensive)
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : 1 (very long.Geordie casted wrong spell)
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : 1 (very long)
Delekahn TC - Woodstock TC : draw (very long, very long. not defensive.. Wood:"i cant beat him")
Delekahn TC - Geordie TC : Delekahn ran out of Garlic, but it looked better for geo than before (Geo:"ill never give up..")
To be said is that Geo is one of the brillianst Duel Guys i know. ..
Imperator:"Can we search now Orders?"
We found nothing to be really mentioned and hunted later with TG.

The Article on UOSS:

So far ok, but lets check the link to that "report"

Wee see Turing making some speculations

While we had apolognized in the News from 4.9.99 for the attack on that march, i read these lines sad.
just another rpg-d00d. just another egocentric d00d that thinks that uo-evil is rl-evil, and the whole world would rotate around him. i apolognized sincerly when i heard about the topic of the march. nothing is more worse than an account hack. when i read his speculation im not interested in that person anymore. neither has he reacted on my email nor does he shows any intelligence beyound his little horizont.
To the author of the news following email was sent:

hi. in your report from 09/07/99 05:07 AM CDT  you make a link to http://members.tripod.com/~srdolch/ which shows the story of the march and also insulting TG (the pk group which interfeared in that event) with "it would not surprise me if they would have hacked Srdolch account etc.etc." in germany something like that is called "rufschaedigung". i speak here for TG, cause TG is the murderer stone of TC which im the guildmistress of. i stated clearly in TC news, after i heard what the purpose of the march was, that we would never have killed them if we would have known about the topic. we had a discussion on our forum about that which i will post you the links to now http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=680 you find the answers here: http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=682 http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=681 and finally Max Wulf from Clan Wulf admits: http://www.sitepowerup.com/mb/view.asp?Action=Reply&BoardID=101515&Reply=691 you will also find in our news on www.TeamCow.de 4.9.99/TG error an apology. i quote:" TG error while the lag since patch becomes worser and worser sometimes, we heard that a relatively big group was on   their way from trins to britain.   We woke TG and had a gate opened in the back of this group.                                 (pic)    you see TG comitting an error   What we didnt knew was that this group travelling from Trinsic to Britain was the "Srdolch Tower Fundrasing March" as   stated in UOVault: (uovault quote) we will contact the organisator and discuss with him how we could help to minimize the damage our ingame acting cused to   this outgame related event. We apology to Turnig and the participants of this march. We are cruel murderers in TG,but only   ingame for sure." ---- and i contacted him with no response from his part. and now i read on your uoss a link to a page that insults of of maybe account hacked him ?!!? we are PK's, yes. but only ingame. we acted ingame, and killed wandering people. if we would have known of the outgame sense of that event, and known what it was about we would maybe have marched with them. account hacking is the lowest thing i know in uo, and reading that as insult makes me mad. i hope next time you EITHER HEAR BOTH SIDES before posting something like that, or make some better journalism.

Bamse - sadly to say he informed me last days that he as Tiger Dyr-BT, Tia Tambia, Bamse stopped to play UO.
Slob'Toc - is atm in EQ. As he didnt know any of the members in the last months we both agreed to take him from stone until he knows what he does
Zonie - Brother Char of Talon TC is a pure townie. We took him from stone. Talon gets a perm.Internet connection next month and will be much more active. He has to work on Zonie a little to make out of him a competitive wmage. (+resist/+magery)

it began with WHO in front of delucia, where we fought against a relatively big group of them. As most were townies they had some problems, and died.
Good fights were fought with RUN in Shame and Decite. While the fight in Shame was not even while more on our side, the fight before LL decite was interesting. We had a very hard start doe to a bad gate - in front of them (the first died when the latest arrived). At the end they had to retreat with 1 loss on both sides (though one grey which also died fought for them - not sure anyway if he was also RUN or not)

On the left you see as latest sentence the standard sentence we had to say in chat, when once more IMP cl'ed.
We had fights with RUN in BD which lost first 1 ex md, than another ex md, and shortly after 3 of 5. Later P+H and ICE were fought in Buccs which had good numbers together.
Nearly all P+H and ICE died in that battle.
The day was funny, though we really miss the times, when other chaos were green to us, so that there were no instant virtue-switcher around.
you just killed them all, and had no cheap throw away fighters following you through each gate.

Too many new members can hardly affect in a negative way guild-integrity, so after a little talking, we thought that we wont take anyone at once - now - on stone.

The Test-Duels in full Action

Candidates were: Cyber T B, Mrs. Braindead T B, Uwe Seeler and Danath AoR.

Cyber T B + Mrs. Braindead T B - Uwe Seeler + Danath AoR : 1 (Uwe died fast, but Danath showed a good fight vs 2)
Mrs Braindead T B - Uwe Seeler : 1
Cyber T B - Danath AoR : draw, but very defensive Cyber, without getting that break even fast-attack out of defensive to kill the other.
BFG TC - Danath AoR : 1 (very quick)
BFG TC - Danath AoR : 1 longer. we wanted to see how he adapts to bfg's style
Cyber T B - Penelope TC : 2 (quick) we wanted to see how cyber reacts on an assassin-mage where he cant be 100% defensive
Mrs Braindead T B - BFG TC : 2
Yumesenshi TC - Cyber T B : 1 (Cyb tryed to be more agressive, and here he lacks a little experience)
Yumesenshi TC - BFG TC : Yume gave up :)
Yumesenshi TC + BFG TC - Danath AoR + Uwe Seeler : 1

After all these battles, we will have, when we are ready again to take someone on stone Danath in test-week.
Mrs. Braindead has to work on her skills to be a really good wmage
Cyber needs more experience
Uwe Seeler is extremly rusty atm it seems. At least i knew Jac fighting better.
They will all - if they wish participate on further duels.

you see a killer chicken fooling around

but while finding at the beginning opposition in Buccs, Decite, Shame and Ocllo, to the end it seemed that we were the only Virtue guild not yet sleeping left on that shard (01:00 CET)
So we brake the hunt, and began working on the wmages, etc.. until Imperator found tAV/tVA opposition in Shame which attacked him/he attacked them dont know why. We woke the tmages, and got there to clear the situation.

The Duels ended mainly when we heard that "much order" is in BD. so we gated there, to find as usually nothing. We checked decite, shame and found finally some in ocllo. Over the time some of these orders died, but cuase they lost their unification they had at the beginning on BD, they had no chance in numbers, especially while 2-4 EBR's were with us.

We gated there, at this time we just checked ocllo and came with 2wmages and 3 tmages to the place.
Some ppl yelled for a TC vs EBR 4vs4, but it ended in a mixed team vs TC. We thought it would be cool to test a 2wmages + 2 tmages combination vs their 4 tmages.
(TC)penelope + jirikis + delekahn + imperator - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Sephram EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 2
(TC)penelope + jirikis + delekahn + yumesenshi - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Sephram EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 2
penelope was first target and the tmages couldnt keep her alife long enough to ensure the survival to the performant point of a wmage.
no not a townie. btw: some ppl was surprised that tc is not a townie guild.. check our skills at owo.com and you will see that most of tc are tank-mages, while the tank-mages have also some warrior-mages (using high resist and high magery for defensive) that are very old-school characters.
we dont take townies, and these in tc are either brother-chars fomr tank-mages or members since the beginning of TC on df last year, which even if they would be complete idiots would have ahieved in nearly 1 year chaos that much skill and pvp knoweledge that they would be glad to fight you 1vs1 out of town.
while we were, or better woodstock was very upset about that result we made a conventional 4 tmages team to fight again. no more experiments.
(TC)Woodstock + Yumesenshi + Delekahn + Imperator - eisenugly MD + Netman EBR + Salomon EBR + Tjodalv EBR : 1
after that fight we made some 1vs1 with the following results. dont mind i havent retained all.
Woodstock TC - eisenugly MD : 2
Woodstock TC - eisenugly MD : 1
Delekahn TC - Salomon EBR : 1
Yumesenshi TC - Netman EBR : 2 (very long)
Yumesenshi TC - Netman EBR : Netman CL also very long
Sephram EBR - salomo EBR : 1

You see some of the fighters watching an 1vs1 after the 4vs4

Sir Fredo will check tomorrow what is wrong, cause all Meta Tags and Titles are correctly set. You can alter manually your bookmarks with the Edit and prorieties funcion in Netscape, and something like that in your Favorites if you use the IE.

We thank Sir Fredo for letting us use his Server. The last days were full of university work for me, so i could not keep the site updated. Besides all that i also visit each days appartments which made me a little tired.

Tug of Tugsoft released a new test-uoa version which fixed some of the CL's we had, which were mainly caused by client/server, though uoa made some effects happen more often.. It was as test client. Today UOA was patched to the new client patch (1.26.1) and you should no longer encounter CL problems that are not line dependant. Update UOA
Second we heard today finally first red-name words of an unknown Dev programmer who had his debut in the board. He admitted that the CL code was his fault and showed irony and sense of humor, winning most of uo ppl sympathy back on the fly.
btw: i ve forgotten his name.. something with K..
Though they patched today (10.9) the approved code was still buggy.. (i think the real odd guys are the revisors of the code)
Calandryll on that topic:

OK folks, I posted on Shard Issues an explanation for today’s events. Now before you read this, I need everyone to sheath your weapons, unstring your bows, and put those reagents away. Oh and no purple potions or scrolls either. :)

http://support.uo.com/s_issue.html

And yes, I fully see the irony with a patch that was designed to reduce disonnects causing the servers to crash so I don’t need anyone pointing that out to me. :P

Gotta go to a meeting for a bit, but I’ll be back later. For those of you playing, please let me know how the shards seem as far as disonnects.

Thanks!

Why ? There are some client bug and one serverproblem that have brought much frustration. I cant remember one time before that there were that many heavy client-bugs in the client:
1. permanent conlosts, some say due the double checking of the movement.
2. freeze and can not move but all else you see moving. that bug WAS in old times already fixed
3. Shadow images "i have client bug" resulting in invisible monsters etc. we got used to this crap (they said fixed in 1.25.37f)
4. Crashing when opening backpacks/Chests etc. (should have been fixed in 1.25.3x) around since Toad made some changes to the client
5, EXTREME LAGGING like in the time when idiots where duping gold. Some thing it may be cause of the + on serverload cause of doublechecking which makes fastwalk not work (which is good, but i prefer some jerks running with fastwalk around, than the whole shard lagging)
That besides the not updating statbars, the rumors of a new afterpatch house-breakin (you should make sure that you seal your house with tables even when private, and lock your interior doors) + the still lurking around superior instant death bug from MA or Paralyze casted by NPC's, which is a great improvement of game experience, if you are perma red, or not let us having much trouble now.

Many changes are cool to the client but i really begin to have problems understanding whats going on. Since they made efforts to stabilize and improve the client actually even more bugs, one after the other got in, so that you cant play now a day without dying to some idiotic bug.

besides that i mistyped my hint to reduce lag on your machinge its spelled "enablemessenger=off". put that in your uo.cfg, and besides dont use the messenger as long as you give with your greetings card also your account name.

Please stop only arguing of it ingame or on unknown messageboards, let the support know that you have problems with it.

The OoO 4vs4 Duel-Day lasted in completly chaos and massacre with harsh words from all parties. German Message board about the 4vs4.
The experience with most of these events shows that its much more fun to hold 4vs4 in small groups than big events like these which are a paradise for jerks, thiefes etc. hiding behind anonymity or crying for importance once in their uo-life.

This site will still work but will contain only a link to it. I wont tell more until all is setteled.;)
BTW: some may have noticed that the last days i thought we are still in the 8'th month of this year..
