Shard of the Dead is Going Away

by

James Nichols, the Community Manager has posted on the UO Herald that the “Shard of the Dead” will be deactivated very soon due to a lack of interest.

So if you haven’t tried it out yet, it’s best that you do so now, and take all of the screenshots and video that you can.
