Today is our shard's 18th anniversary! There's a giftstone in the Town Center, come by and get a commemorative item :) On February 1st 2006, at 12:39:48 shard time, I started a RunUO server and created the first account. At the time that was central european time, so that would make it 11:39:48 GMT ...

There will be a grand auction this weekend. First on Saturday, February 3rd, at 22:00 shard time. (That's 5pm eastern, 4pm central, 2pm pacific; 11pm central europe; 9am sunday morning for most australians) Second on Sunday, February 4th, at 19:00 shard time. (That's 2pm eastern, 1am central, 11am p...

Just looking back, yes I did indeed miss the mark :worried: Well, there was still a lot of random non-UO responsibilities to be done, I guess in late November I was off the hook. And I was quite productive since then, minus the 2 weeks around the holidays and an occasional week where a bunch of erra...

I have just processed the trades from all the tickets with bids on various items, and I noticed that all of the tickets were for the December Grand Auction Re-Auction.
Was this thread missed by everyone, or just no interest / too high prices?

I have just processed the trades from this auction's re-auction. What's weird is that all except the +12 tinkering suit were bid on. Was quite a hassle managing all these tickets, but well one by one, we got thru it :) Maybe there was an overall concern in December that gold will be more scarce, or ...

Quick FYI about doing the re-auction trades, I was planning to do that today but some other tasks took longer than planned, so i will probably do the trades on monday. I took a quick look at the tickets and it seems that all of the biddings have ended by now.

It's fixed in the code but it's pending a server restart. There's a bug in the time display - if you obtained the clock "at exactly" or "at about" the 12:31:23 shard time, no matter if you chose a sub-second format, it will just show that "at exactly" or "at about&...

A note on the upcoming House Drop aka IDOC. I had a few unanswered emails in my Inbox, from players who got notifications but can't login. Just went thru all of them, so there are probably a few houses out there that shown as "In danger of collapse" but are now "Like new". So if ...

We have a nice number of tickets open for both Re-auctions. Just a quick rule, we are going to be rounding the bids to 3 significant digits... So that can be for example 7.31 million, 21.8 million, or 183 million. E.g. if the current bid is 5.67 and the minimum increment is is increased by 10% to 6....

There was an issue with the website opening very slowly, since yesterday. I just found that there was a web crawler, blocked it and let's hope that's the end of that

This was in October 2023 when Lorelay came to my home office and I shown her how I can make a rainbow orc count to 10.
It's so nice to see you all!
