FROM UO HOME SITE: FYI ...

World Wide Publish Schedule ...... Dec 21 2006 8:12PM GMT (PST +08:00)

On Thursday, December 21, 2006 at 1:30PM PST (December 21 9:30PM GMT) we will be deploying a publish to all shards.

The update will contain the following changes:

A rare server crash has been fixed
Characters on Catskills that were affected by last week's extended downtime will recieve a Spring Décor token upon login
Tree trunks now have the same tool-tip as Heritage trees in the selection menu
Lanterns such as the Twilight Lantern will no longer drop to the ground when turned on while equipped
Turned off 2005 holiday gifts
2006 holiday items will be given to characters at least 30 days old:
- Stocking
- Holiday Card
- Snow Pile
  - To throw a snowball at another player, double-click the snow pile and target a player. Only players who have a snow pile in their backpack can be targeted in this manner. You will receive a message if the targeted player is not a valid target.
  - There is a delay as to how often you can throw a snowball from the snow pile.
  - The snow piles have unlimited uses.
- Gingerbread House deed
- 3-5 Candy Canes
- 2-3 Gingerbread Cookies
- 1 Gingerbread Cookie Recipe Scroll (ML only)
2006 holiday items will be handed out until Jan 15, 2007
Added Gingerbread Cookies to the cooking system
Bakers and farmers will now sell ginger, used for crafting Gingerbread Cookies
Snow will now fall from 13 new areas in Trammel / Felucca
Reapers have now been renamed, re-hued, and do cold damage

We expect all shards to remain offline for approximately two hours.

Well it "Says" 1:30PM PST (December 21 9:30PM GMT)

and they were supposed to be down for 2 hours....

meaning they should have been back up 30 min ago.

**bendavho** · 21st December 2006, 05:15 PM

they are popping up now, but LS is still down

**Adri** · 21st December 2006, 07:38 PM
