Wow, what a grad pit! Void threw the best bash a graduating smurf has put on in recent memory. Moonglow was saved by our heroes, even if it was left a bit worse for the wear! Congratulations to GM Void, on a fine evening of fun. Be sure to give him a pat on the back when you see him around in his new threads. (Black and blue, ooooh)

Enter the Void: The graduation of Smurf Void will be March 11, 2011 @ 8:30pm shard time.
"I hear an ancient voice, whispering from the Void, and it chills my lightless heart…"
An important figure among the Mage's guild has recently reported hearing strange whispers about events to come. Conferring with other guild members from Vesper, it was decided she would go to Moonglow to seek answers to the source of these whispers. She opened a gateway and stepped through, but never stepped out on the other side. There have been no messages or merchants coming out of Moonglow since. All attempts to reach the city have failed. Several parties have gone, yet none have reported back. A party of the most capable adventurers will be gathered and will set forth from Vesper in 5 days.

Congratulations to our newest GM, Lyot, on graduating from smurfdom. His pit was a mass of carnage and death. Not a single player survived. Well done!
Valentine's Day is nearly upon us. We have a Rose stand set up in Vesper. Roses are available for 50k and may be renamed to your choosing. (Within shard rules of course)
And don't forget the Valentine's Day Pit! Animata is planning to host something special. Don't miss it!

The conversion to RunUO 2.1 is coming. I've finished converting all of the code and it's ready to go as soon as you guys are. For this update we're asking that you update with us.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
1. Download the 7.0.7.1 Stygian Abyss client from [http://web.cdn.eamythic.com/us/uo/installers/20100601/UOSAClassic_7_0_7_1.exe]
2. Install the client to a separate location than your current install. (It will do this by default) Do NOT run or patch the client, it will be at 7.0.7.1 as soon as it's installed.
3. Copy our hues.mul into the UO folder.
4. Wait for the conversion.
The sooner we're all (or most of us) are at the higher client version the sooner we can push the conversion. If you're having troubles please don't hesitate to email me at GMErast (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll help you however I can.

Update: The Yuku forums seem to have returned to normal. We will keep an eye on things and update should further issues arise. Thanks!
Yuku, the host of our forums, is having technical difficulties at present. At this time you may be unable to post or access posts. Please bear with us as they work to resolve it.
Update: It appears as though we have lost all access to yuku. I have had no word from them as to the nature of the issue, or any estimate of a restoral time.

We've been hard at work setting up the 2010 edition of the Oblivion fair. We have something very special planned this year, and I know you'll all enjoy it. Our target for the fair is the week of October 10-16. That's less than two weeks away, so you all had better get saving your gold away!
As some of you know, we've been very tight lipped about the theme of this year's fair. It's close enough now that I don't mind giving you a little tease… Have fun and we'll see you at the fair!

On May 31st we finished the upgrade to RunUO 2.0. The beta testing went great and thank you to all of those who put in the time and effort to really find some bugs to make this conversion as smooth as possible. The passed two days were kind of rocky due to a freezing issue caused by the acid pools created by Solens. We fixed the bug and the shard is running as normal again. Keep your eyes on here in the next few weeks as we roll out some new things and some things you've been waiting years for.

In the event that you haven't heard, we are wrapping up work on preparations to convert the shard to RunUO 2.0. In the coming weeks we will be announcing details on the beta testing phase. This will be an open beta on a separate server from the current shard, and both will run during that time. The beta and your opinions from it will help us determine which aspects of 2.0 to embrace and which to nerf.
When the conversion is finalized, all data from 1.0 to 2.0 will be converted. You will not lose your toons, items, houses.

The last few months have seen tons of updates, bug fixes and new toys for us to play with. More are on the way, so keep your eyes open. We are also planning numerous special events including, a 24 hour event marathon that will begin February 26 at 6 PM shard time Click for details, and an Interdimensional Invasion that is yet to be rescheduled. (If you've never seen a shard event postponed by snow, you have now.)
Valentine's Day was just a few days ago, and we celebrated in style with a special contest and pit. Love Potion #9 was overflowing all across the shard. GM Animata ran a Valentine's Day pit than many have said was her best pit ever!
We have also have a facebook group for the shard now. You can find the group info at http://oblivion80942.yuku.com/topic/5859 or you can go there directly at http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=263108047611
