Redwood Shores under Ophidian Attack, Shards Threatened!
Jul 29 2006 12:50AM GMT (PST +08:00)
As we were coming back from lunch today, they noticed that the security forces here at EA Redwood Shores were fully engaged in battle with what appeared to be Ophidian warriors! Quickly running inside, preparations were made to counter the inevitable onslaught.
Though many EA employees have fought valiantly throughout the afternoon, it appears that our time here is growing short; the Ophidians are currently assaulting the elevators and it is now plain that our hopes of repelling these giant snakes were in vain.
Draconi has been busy coordinating our defenses, but he just sent word that his calculations now show a 100% chance that the Ophidian force will reach all shards and take them offline at approximately 7:45PM PDT today, July 28th (2:45AM GMT July 29th).
Fortunately, once the Ophidians have taken control of all shards, we expect them to only be offline for only approximately one hour while the Ophidian Shamans teleport the entire invasion force into UO. Hopefully someone will be along to resurrect us before too long after they have departed. Good luck, and may you have better luck fighting the Ophidians than we did! |

So when were they going to tell everyone about this? People could be inthe middle of a peerless or quest or champ spawn and be left out to hang on this if people didn't check the Forums.

More information came in from Wilike ( UO Community Coordinator) when he answered a question from a post on UOHall Stratics ..... Is the Inu storyline going again, or is the Ophidian invasion to keep us occupied until it does restart? Quote: This is part of the Inu storyline. We had the Ophidian plot planned prior to the delay, so we rewrote the story a bit to fit the new timeline. This isn't drastically different than what you would've been doing at this point if nothing had changed.
Tonight, the real fun begins. :-) | | |

This looks fun, yes, but I wonder...why drop another invasion on Britain. We still haven't gotten people to begin going back to Brit.
Drop the ophidians in Luna.

Hopefully you did like many of us who sent the word out to our UO friends.
Also, anyone who logs into the game after it starts should notice it on the Patch Message Page under CURRENT NEWS .. REDWOOD SHORES UNDER OPHIDIAN ATTACK, SHARDS THREATENED! (PUBLISH TONIGHT).

Perhaps it is different on each shard. I don't see where the announcement says Britian or any paticular city that will be attacked. Vesper, Pupua and Skara are the 3 cities that have been dealing with these things recently.
If you have locations of where these things are attacking please do let us know.
(cause I for one wanna stay far away from there :grin: )
City and shard would be very helpful ... TY  | |

Nice! I just woke up from my after work nap with my bf telling me all shards are down. Can't wait till the shards are back up.
