NPCs in Yew?

[wavster]

Hi guys, I have had a long break from UO, many years have passed since EA took money from me for the pleasure of fletching a few arrows and making the odd bow. I was a big fan until an incident just outside of yew when I was approached by a guy on a horse just before my router was turned off! I logged back on to find my corpse had been looted, hours worth of graft gone! I never went back... until now! I have been looking at a few shards and this one looks great, having been on for a few hours the past few days I have a question I haven't seen on the forum, where are the NPCs? Are there any in Yew? As I am familiar with this region it is where I started but there is nobody there. Just empty houses... I have installed UO a few times to see if it was patches or something that had made a glitch but to no avail, any ideas?

Thanks in advance people...

Are you in Felucca or Trammel?

I think it is Felluca (I didn't know how to find out other than installing automap which never properly showed my location). I have searched aaround out of Yew and to Vesper and Minoc. Along the way signposts were incomplete (just looked like poles in the ground) and no NPCs in any shops in either Minoc or Vesper. I did however see a wandering NPC healer on my way to vesper, but that is all. Finally there should be a moongate between Vesper and Minoc wich when I arrived was just a mound of earth in the middle of a forest.

How can I get out of this? I may just try a new character and see if that has the same problem...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Quick update, I created a new character (this time I chose a pre determined one (a samurai)) rather than the advanced one. When I was ported into the world there was loads on NPCs, I even travelled up to Yew and again its fully populated. Can I get my other character to the same place easily? Wherever he is now...

Thanks.

yes, there was an issue a few days back where now players were deposited in Fel instead of Tram. Just get on that chara and use the help menu to page a staff member, if any are on, they will transport your new chara to Tram. If not, see if some kind player will meet you somewhere and help give you safe passage to Tram (Fel MOBS are tougher than Tram ones and a new player would prob die a few times)

If you are in felucca, you first need to travel to the Public Moongate near Britain (brit farmlands). Once there, you will go thru a cave, and come to a red world teleporter. There you then select to go to Town Center.

Thank you all, I have made it back to Trammel so cheers for all the advice. I ended up going to the help pane, and (being a new player still) had the option to transport to Town Centre place. That put me in Trammel and back on the road I went, so heres to the next few days of lumber-jacking, fletching and gold spending! See you there...
