Hail citizens of Britannia, we hope you're excited to step foot on Verity Isle and check out Moonglow starting at 2:00 PM UTC on June 1st, 2022.
Shortly before then, we will bring the server offline to commence the updates. Moonglow will become available as an option on the Public Moongate as well as the Ferrymaster destinations.
Fireworks will be provided to visitors of Moonglow during the launch day to help celebrate.
Maybe you'll call this place your new home and put your stake in the ground by placing a house there. Check out the Territory Map on our wiki: https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/housing#moonglow-territory
We will also be hosting a Bazaar at Moonglow's Lycaeum that will allow players to rent vendors in a public space for a period of time, stay tuned for more updates about that coming soon.
See you in Moonglow!
The auction is about to start! Head to Skara Brae's The Guiding Hand directly next to the bank (west) to attend! Hope to see you there :)
The deadline is now past for tomorrow's auction! Hopefully, everyone was able to put up the items for sale that they wanted to add.
The live auction is scheduled to begin May 21st at 8:00 PM EST/12:00 AM UTC, see the time in your local time here: https://discord.com/events/369023244038045697/971950582489301002
We hope to see you there!
We have an update regarding the launch of Moonglow, another major landmass! The team has been hard at work to bring Moonglow to life and we are almost ready to start letting players in.
Mark your calendars, Moonglow will be going live on June 1st at 2:00 PM UTC, or see the time in your time zone here: https://discord.gg/rAR2Hzgq?event=974857723491520532
Please be aware that we are still finishing the details in some of the building interiors, but everything will be available and functional. The island does have housing regions set up for players to place houses, and there may be some cases of traditional UO house spots that are not placeable, we will try to supply a Housing Map for the region before the launch.
We've fixed the issue causing some players not to be able to use guild and group chats. Thank you for your patience!
In approximately 5 hours from now we'll be doing a server restart and faction events will be disabled until some updates have been made. We will notify when they come back online again. Thanks!
Until May 16th players in factions are free to resign and join another faction without having to wait the normal 7 days. If you are unable to resign just logout and back into the game. Happy slaying!
Just a reminder, Shards of Britannia's First Live Auction is on May 21st!
Make sure to get your items added to the in-game auction board by May 20th at 11:00 PM UTC
To add items and check upcoming auction schedules, talk to the Auctioneer's Assistant NPC in Skara Brae at The Guiding Hand directly West of the bank.
Hope to see you there!

Faction Pillar Conflicts are now running on live! Come join in our factions mayhem as a member of True Britannians, Shadowlords, or Minax. These events will be occurring at least every 4 hours with extra spontaneous events in-between this weekend!
We're back online! Factions update has been deployed and players can now login and join up. Faction events are still being setup and will appear soon! Faction rankings have been reset and legacy factions players will be migrated to factions when they login.
More details and patch notes will follow shortly.
It looks like we'll need a bit more time to get things back online. Keep an eye on the news as we will post as soon as we're back! Apologies for the delay!
We will be bringing down the server for our factions update in about 2 hours from this post. We anticipate this will probably take around 30 minutes to complete but will update the news if that changes. More details will be posted after the update.
After today's patch, it was realized how many people are beyond their house's storage limit due to items on their vendors! A lot of players have concerns about this since there was no warning. Due to the volume of players affected by this, we will be temporarily suspending the Vendor Storage enforcement until the end of May to give you all some time to adjust! We will also be considering the possibility of other options to help with storage/storage management. Please know it was not intentional for players to bypass your housing storage limits by packing items onto your vendors, and so we will not be reversing this correction once it goes live again. Please use the time to do some spring cleaning and perhaps sell some things in the upcoming auction. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
The server is coming back online with the latest patch applied (see patch notes for details), sorry for the extra downtime but thanks for your patience.
Savages appear to have defeated the barbarians and conquered the swamp east of Skara Brae!
The server will be going offline in approximately 10 minutes to apply the recent patch shown in the Patch Notes. Expected downtime is ~20 minutes. Thanks for your patience!
Update: The server is still offline and we're working on applying the patch still. Downtime will last slightly longer than expected, but we're almost done! Thanks again for your patience.
Please be sure to check out our Easter highlights video for 2022! Thanks Hoax for putting this together!
Just a reminder that the Easter Events will be coming to an end after the daily restart, roughly 3.5hr from the time of this post. The Easter Vendor will remain for 2 more weeks allowing you some more time to put all your eggs in one basket. We hope you've had fun this holiday and look forward to doing more fun stuff in the near future. Thanks for your participation!
The Easter Egg hunt has commenced! Easter Egg Nests will be scattered throughout the overworld for you to find. Double click the eggs to try opening them for fun surprises and goodies!
Collect Fabled Carrots to spend at the Easter Vendor who has been seen hopping around the Paws Stables & Farm, just south-west of Britain. They will also buy some of the items you may get from the eggs in exchange for more Fabled Carrots.
The Egg Hunt will be live until April 26th and we will try our best to do some planned and/or spontaneous events throughout the week.
Happy Easter!
Something is amiss, a new maze has appeared in the middle of Hedge Maze! Perhaps you should hop around and see what you can find out. Note: Any existing spawns inside Hedge Maze are unavailable during this time, for the event. Also, click-to-move is now disabled while inside of Hedge Maze.
