Everyone has been buzzing with rumor since the crone Inu appeared. Gildar/Sahra Swift has done a wonderful job on the UO Stratics Catskills forum of giving the players updates. I wanted to share Gildar's findings so far with you all...

Hi again Catskills,

I was told earlier today that Inu had wandered all the way to the crystal that leads to the island in the center of Malas, so I decided to visit her once more.
I did get her to tell me a bit more about what she was hearing... but not much.



She also spoke a little bit about things that made her sound like most prophets in the past - crazy and very negative. She spoke of rivers boiling and walls melting in Britain, and "Stone upon stone" crumbling in Luna. Hopefully she is just crazy, but I for one am going to keep my eyes and ears out for signs of her being correct.

For now,
Sahra Swift

Also a list of words that will generate a response for you:

For those on Europa who wish to go and have a chat, she is in a tea house on Isamu-jima Tokuno. Below is a pic of where she first was found in Brit and her present location.

Ooh thank you Lady Flame!

I love that pic of everyone lined up hehe

Ok.. now that she's wandered outside teh guard zone.. anyone try to kill her yet?? *runs off to try*

Any chance of us haveing a role call of which shards have or have not found her as yet.

I will start by saying Europa has found her.

cats has but i have not. anyone on cats with a ruin to her i would appreciate
an icq 30508991

Not on Cats myself but checked else where I hope this helps:
Catskills - Malas, Labrynth Crystal (41d 7m N, 27d 54m E)

Inu was sighted on Monday at the Lycaeum in Moonglow, Sonoma.
She does talk with you but doesn't seem to listen very well.

This must be the start of the devs promised event full year, with alot of surprises instore by the looks of things.
Two seperate qoutes from 5 on friday make very intereting reading.

2. I really enjoyed participating in the old scenarios, and more recently, the EM events. Are these ever going to return to UO?

Darkscribe: The short answer: Yes. The long answer: I love large scale events that feel like everyone in the world can take part. We had a long planning session this week that will result in a year long arc of events that will tell an epic story with long-lasting implications for Sosaria. What I'm most excited about is that the plan we're working on incorporates many different kinds of events and puzzles. It will use the temporary dungeon system, the advanced spawner for invasions, the quest system, EM events, and even hidden messages on the website and riddles hidden in remote areas of Sosaria. When will it kick off? I can't say at the moment. It's a pretty aggressive plan and we need to do a lot of work on the development schedule. But stay tuned. I want to get chapter one up and running as soon as possible. Meanwhile, as you travel Sosaria, keep an eye out for anything unusual.

************************************************** ********

working on a year-long fiction cycle that will be centered around large in-game events, along with mysteries, puzzles, and other surprises.

As Darkscribe said, even hidden messages on the website
This message has been received and is still being worked on.



So far it has been translated to say Delirious as in saviour.
There are many theorys as to what it means but we would be interested if anyone has any suggestions.

Lady Flame

Ooooh where did that message come from. I havent seen it on my logg in screen ?

Its the top of the WWW.UO.COM screen.
I must admit I never found it but was told about it but thought we could share ideas over here.

One suggestion made else where for the solution to the runes was that “Delirious as in Sosaria” might be an anagram and could translate to “Division rules Sosaria”. Today however the top section of UO.Com has a new set of runes as seen below (both sets of runes shown in pictured). The translation for the new runes is “Division rules Sosaria”



This would explain why we have this comment on the 5 on Friday questions.

5. Division Rules Sosaria?
Inu the Crone:That's what it says, doesn't it? You people are dense!


It seems we are back to the drawing board.
