During the usual 9am UTC/5am US EST maintenance window, we will remain offline for up to 2 hours while we do additional maintenance work. We apologise for this, however it is the first in a series of steps to minimise downtime, crashing and restarts, and we feel it's important enough to do this on the weekend while we have multiple staff members available to support that activity.
If all goes well, we will complete the work in a much shorter timeframe than 2 hours. Keep an eye on #news for notification on how we are travelling.
Thank you, as always, for your patience.
-Short term murder counts should no longer reset upon death in the colosseum
-Looting any corpse but your own is disabled in the Colosseum
The servers are offline for the time being while we prepare for the transition process. As you know our team is global and therefore we are scheduling plenty of time in advance to allow for all teammates to complete any duties. Thanks for your patience through the downtime and please check back here periodically for further updates. See you on the other side!
The following changes are now live on the Test Center:
Lumberjacking has been refreshed to be more in alignment with UO
Successful harvests will produce up to 20 logs per swing
Trees now have a maximum amount of wood that can be harvested
Harvest bonuses removed and Prospector's Tool disabled for now, needs redesigned
Kindling/apples removed from normal lumberjacking routine
Can now use blade to cut trees to gather kindling
Can chop trees in town, but resources are halved
Restart has been completed. Thanks for your patience!
Sounds from applying bandages as well as sounds from instruments will now only play to yourself while inside of town.
Some performance updates are being applied. Should be back in just a few minutes.
As many of you know we are working on development of a brand new factions system. We plan to release this new system in phases and we will be providing previews as development progresses. However, we do not want to hold up our players from fighting each other in factions PvP for this new system to be completed. So we have decided that today we are opening factions up for play! We will be providing new content to factions in phases. Today is simply going to be opening up PvP between factions. Keep an eye out for faction leaders looking for recruits!
Server will be coming down for a short restart to address some issues around 17:15 UTC.
"The Britain Royal Guard is seeking mercenaries willing to investigate three different suspected Dens of Evil. Our trackers have given us approximate areas for these Dens and they appear to be bound together with an unknown magic. We have sent many brave mercenaries to each already, but no matter how many times they cleanse these ritual sites.. they return. This is unlike anything we have seen before..."

We've identified an issue with Looting Rights not being handled properly for bards killing monsters with provocation and have disabled criminal checks on monster corpses for the time being while we work the remaining issues out.
As you're all probably aware, the server is offline right now. We've identified a critical issue that must be resolved prior to us bringing it back online. At this time we cannot offer an ETA, however know that we're all working on it to get things going again ASAP.
Keep an eye out for further announcements here in #news. Sorry for the delay in the release of this notification.
As you may be aware, earlier this week we identified several users involved in abusing some economic vulnerabilities that were discovered. At that time we had to roll back the server to recover from the impact and to protect our newly established economy.
After that incident occurred the players involved began to launch an attack on the LOU infrastructure (DDoS) causing our servers to become inaccessible. The players involved have since been banned and ejected from the community, but the attacks continue to occur occasionally.
At this time we are doing everything we can to prevent outages, but there may be times when the server will have to be brought down unexpectedly in order to recover.
We will be monitoring things closely to try and prevent downtime and loss of progress, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and support through our growing pains.
Thanks for your patience during the downtime, we have received word that the issue is now resolved and we are now bringing our services back online including the game server. See you in-game and thanks again for your support
The Britain Sewers are now open. This is a young-only dungeon, and designed to be quite simple to survive and skill up in for new players.
Due to ongoing connectivity issues, the server will remain offline until further notice. There is no ETA at this time.
Fixed a bug where players could rename recall runes which were not in their own backpacks.
