For those of you who are experiencing latency issues we wanted to let you know that we've identified an issue with an individual telecom company whose network is affecting performance of players whose service is routed through their network at any point, particularly on the East Coast.  We're sorry for the inconvenience everyone and thank you for your patience as our team continues to work with this provider to resolve the issue. 

Ready for the Five on Friday this week? We've got questions concerning OSI houses and holiday gifts coming your way!

Hi everyone,

We’ve had some great submissions for the Event Moderator Program so far, and we’ve seen a slew of applications.

I would like to make a request. Please remember that we are reviewing everyone’s applications extensively, but also remember that we’re trying to do a very thorough job. Please understand that we have been putting this together for over four months. We ask you wait a few more days as we go through the almost 100 applications we have received so far. Afterwards, we will post the names and send out all of the documentation necessary to complete the process as independent contractors support UO:Live.

There will be no special consideration given for former EMs.  Previous procedures, policies, and contractual obligations are void for this iteration of the Event Moderator program.

Thanks for understanding,

Calvin Crowner
Dev Manager, Ultima Online

We've got some fixes for Publish 56. They will go live with maintenance on Thursday morning. Here are the notes:

We just wanted to let you know that we are aware of the Character Transfer issue that is happening currently. We are looking into this issue and we hope to have it resolved soon.

Publish 56 allows cities in Trammel to be attacked by monster invasions when sigils are captured in Felucca. This weekend several cities will be attacked regardless, as the Shadowlords assert their new powers through their alliance with the crimson dragons.

Affected cities include:

* Britain
* Skara Brae
* Magincia
* Minoc
* Moonglow
* Trinsic
* Vesper
* Yew

Beware NPCs in invaded towns! Hatreds will attack, Falsehoods will steal, and Cowardices will... run away.

Please be aware that if you log into a city under invasion, you will be teleported to safety in Jhelom.
