A tip of the hat to the Stratics Ok everyone empty your pockets, who took Oceania thread (from Lady Storm) for the inspiration.
Probably not safe for work.
Yesterday, Oceania players were asked to test the hardware. The UO team liked what they saw, and so Ultima Online players in that part of the world will once again have a local shard, Oceania, to play on, as it has been migrated to a server located in Australia.

Update 3:25 pm EDT: The shard is now available again. Enjoy!
Greetings,
After the successful performance test, we will transition Oceania shard to a server space located in Australia today, Wednesday 03/30. This will require a server down.
We will take down Oceania at 1:45 pm EDT. We expect the shard to be back online no later than 4:45 pm EDT.
Thank you for your support.
If you play on Oceania, and especially if you are located in Australia or New Zealand, you can now test out the new hardware which is actually located in Australia.
The Test Oceania shard is running a backup copy of Oceania.
From UO Herald:
We’ve opened up a test shard named “Test Oceania” to test server performance on our new hardware located regionally in Australia. We invite you to join us in this test. The shard has a recent Oceania shard backup on it as well as test center rules. Any time played on this shard is only for testing purposes and will not affect your actual Oceania characters. Thank you for your time and we value your assistance.
This just popped up on UOHerald.com. Looks like there is some work being done on the network side of things for some of the North American shards plus Oceania.
Greetings,
On Monday, March 14th, beginning at 8:00 AM EST we will bring down the following shards for a short network maintenance:
Lake Austin
Baja
Napa Valley
Sonoma
Pacific
Origin
OceaniaThe expected downtime is 1.5 hours.
Thanks for your understanding.
This maybe ahead of the upcoming publish revolving around Magincia.
