im normally pretty lag free even with the bots, but its definitely got worse since yesterday, even on my "dead" shard
Obviously i didnt go to Fel to test if it was better, as im a trammie and Fel is full of pvp losers ;-)
I would say to everyone, just take a break from UO for a few days, let this process play out
DDOS /Migration. Whatever may or may not be going on will affect you
Everyone hates reverts and losing stuff or having a char trapped in a dungeon only to find them dead when you manage to get back in
Leave your chars at home, relax. play something else like Star Citizen!
Come back later when its stabilized
Steam has many single player games. Dawn of Man and Planetbase are made by the same company. They are builders. Lots of other builders. All the Age of Empires.
They have most board games you can play against other players, Wingspan, Dominion, Catan. etc.
If you like top down single turn games, Jagged Alliance is cool.

If UO was still being run by Kyronix alone, I could say things like 'Keep up the good work, don't push yourself too hard,' 'The various problems are the accumulated consequences of the past. You shouldn't have to shoulder all the responsibility alone,' and 'Well, I'll keep supporting you.' However, I cannot comprehend how a company with dozens of employees fails to properly communicate progress updates, let alone have their producer say even a single word. If I were in their position, I would undoubtedly be working tirelessly to explain the situation to users and respond sincerely.
The scripters who keep devaluing GP, the RMT-controlling cheaters, the pointless censorship on the forums - honestly, none of these issues individually have much impact on me personally. They're problems I can somewhat avoid by simply turning a blind eye and deaf ear.
But what happens when all these tolerable individual issues pile up together? Distrust continues to grow, and users start leaving... Yes, that's exactly what's happening with UO now.
Broadsword's lack of communication skills is not an issue that should be overlooked.
Is this the right thread to ask about shard stability? I've seen others close off with 'plenty of threads already covering this topic' ?
Are they now stable, I don't want to put efforts in if they are just going to continue to drop? Its been nearly a week since the dev's posted any updates?
I am sorry, there is no new information available at this time.
Sure would have been nice to be able to play right now. Too cold to do anything outside but work.
I'm for an extension. Still need 4 more bears just to have 1 on each tamer.
Any idea when we might get an update? or better yet an end to the interruptions?
I was in a house move, placing things down, locking and then server crash. I get on and a short time later notice a uo store soulstone is missing with 100 begging on it. one of the most time consuming skills to get. i contacted a gm, got told they don't replace items. I can see when someone makes a mistake but this was not my fault. Reverts happen and stuff goes poof. I wouldn't be upset if it was something minor that got lost, but 1) i paid IRL money for it. 2) the skill took a month or more to get to 100 of playing every night for hours. and 3) this was caused by UO crashing, not my mistake. There should be some leniency on replacing items. Not like I'm saying i lost something ridiculous.
and for fuck's sake, ban the bots and scripters. they take everything in the game worth having only to try to sell it back to you for irl money (aint happening with me.)
idk why GM's don't ahswer for the most valiable topic on this days?
People want to know what's wrong and what are u guys doing there?
Cause keep the silence it's nort a good way to keep your audience stay in this broken game
