• Fixed an issue with being able to tame human mercenaries, this was not intended
• Fixed an issue with torches preventing meditation in some cases
• Fixed an issue with Gravedigging not working in some cases

Make sure to log out and back in to receive all of these updates, thank you!

We're aware of an issue with meditation being prevented due to "Regenerative forces cannot penetrate your armor" in some cases possibly due to torches. We're investigating and hope to have it resolved shortly.

Vendor Rental deeds have been added to Moonglow's Lycaeum where you can rent a vendor until July 1st (deadline extended to August 1st) for a one-time fee & we will plan to host more Bazaar events periodically in the future.

These vendors do not charge daily fees or commission and are only available until July 1st (deadline extended to August 1st), after which they will pack their worn equipment & for sale contents into your account vault. If you have a vendor that has been packed up, you will receive a notification immediately or the next time you log in.

The Account Vault is where packed goods from Rental Properties and Player Vendors will be stored if you fail to pay rent or vendor fees. At any time you can use the /vault command to retrieve any stored rental or vendor property

Note: Non-Bazaar player vendors will now also handle their equipped objects when being dismissed, previously the equipped objects would vanish when the vendor did. Now, when packing to the vault, any equipped objects on vendors will be packed along with the for sale items, or if the owner is dismissing the vendor, any remaining equipped objects will land on the ground to prevent deletion.

Hotfixes:

• Fixed an issue preventing Bazaar Vendor owners from collecting gold from them
• Fixed an issue preventing Bazaar Vendors from appearing on the Vendor Search results
• Changed the color of Bazaar vendor names to Yellow for better legibility

• Containers created by using the option Organize Backpack will now be prevented from leaving your backpack and they will disappear when becoming empty

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!

• All faction pillar control points will now light up when the event is active instead of just the main pillar.
• Faction players cannot control a pillar if they've recently been hidden.
• Fixed a bug causing previously allowed dungeon marking locations to be disallowed.
• Chest spawn times have been adjusted based on dungeon chest level.
• Lockpicking skill gain factor has been increased.
• Mage vendors will now buy scrolls.

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.

Faction Conflict Pillar event locations have received a significant upgrade! Along with altered layouts they now feature 3 control points instead of just one. Events will be disabled for a short time until setup is fully completed. Other patch notes are listed below.

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!

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

Today's update includes some fixes and improvements to help out under populated factions in events.

https://wiki.shardsofbritannia.com/en/updates/05-09-2022

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.

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.

Today's Hotfixes:

• Hedge Maze is now off-limits for quick travel, and you will not be able to mark runes inside of, nor will you be able to recall/gate to existing runes inside Hedge Maze
• Fixed an issue preventing digging for Treasure Chests from completing in some cases
• Fixed an issue with trying to create a guild not working in some cases; if for some reason the creation of a guild fails going forward, subsequent re-tries should work successfully
• Should be able to engrave items on your vendors now

Hotfix from earlier:

• Bonded Pet skill loss from death has been reduced from 1.0 points to 0.1 when being resurrected by a Player, or 0.2 when being resurrected by an NPC

Just a reminder, anytime we post a deadline or a start time for something, it is always subject to change and you should expect there to be delays, always, but hope for the best. Our team consists of people from all over the globe, which may cause delays, and we are volunteering our free time, so we do our best within our means to meet deadlines.

For week-long events there is no specific time we will deploy and active the activities. Unfortunately Discord forces us to pick a specific start time when creating Events in Discord, and so usually we'll pick 9am UTC the day that we plan to start the activities. That doesn't guarantee that 9am UTC or any other time will be when the activities start, as we will make announcements within a few hours of the activities starting.

For week-long holiday activities you are not expected to be there at the time that the activities begin. Participation is welcome throughout the entire week, and this time is allowed for those that may not be around on the day of the holiday being celebrated.

Thanks everyone for your patience and support.

• Fixed an issue preventing house owners from removing individual friends or co-owners in some cases
• Fixed an issue preventing players from using public teleporters while holding a Faction sigil. You should now be able to use Public Moongates, Ferry Masters, and the Skara Brae Ferry (saying "cross") while holding a Faction sigil, but the use of the Recall spell & portals from the spell Gate Travel is still prevented

To celebrate Easter, we will be hosting an Egg Hunt throughout Britannia! Find eggs and break them open and collect Fabled Carrots (or other surprises), which can be spent at the Easter Vendor in exchange for some neat gifts! We hope you have time to log in and participate and have some fun. See you there! See the details of this event: https://discord.gg/CuwaP9sbep?event=963864006546841680

About a week ago we mentioned that a new teammate would be joining us, and today is the day! We would like to introduce Cultivate, they are joining us to fulfill Game Master duties like player support, events moderating and possibly more things as they grow into their role on the team. Please give them a warm welcome! Welcome aboard Cultivate

Greetings Citizens,

We would like to film some staged events to create a promotional trailer for Shards of Britannia. With the help and expertise of Hoax, we also require as many players as we can get online at this time.

We hope this video will show a lot of what our amazing community server has to offer! So we would love to see you all at this event!

Before the event players will be put into groups and assigned positions. For example, some players will be fishing on Britain Bridge, some will be in factions fighting, etc.

We need those interested to fill up the positions in this document before the event starts and please join us in Discord: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jJ9n8OFsCPFQaNI5EIz_LDUgypHnYmwI/edit

The last thing planned during the event is to have everyone fight the Hydra.

This event is scheduled for 11:30pm UTC on 2/18, hope to see you there!
