While we wait on Publish 72 details, Catskills and its EMs have laid down a challenge to Sonoma:
Nearly a year ago, Sonoma defeated Chesapeake in the first Cross Shard Treasure Hunt Challenge and have held the title of Champion ever since. We, the people of Catskills, feel it is our obligation – nay, our DUTY to challenge Sonoma and ultimately to defeat them. Representing us in this Challenge will be two teams of Catskills finest adventurers – the Purple Pandas, and our Shard Champions the Blue Beetles!
Thus, we formally declare our challenge to Sonoma, for a contest of bravery and skill to take place on the Test Center between our respective teams. We eagerly await the response of EMs Eira and Sangria.
Respectfully,
EM Barnaby, EM Adris, and the Shard of Catskills
I really don’t like to do actual commentaries on here, but the sense of entitlement that some have is just insane these days, and some of the things I’ve seen players do lately is just, how do I put it. I’ll just say it doesn’t help the image of UO.
Tonight at the memorial service held for the Japanese victims of last week’s earthquake, somebody decided that since there were EMs in attendance, that they should receive something.
Keep in mind that this was an event organized by Queen Mum of UOForums.com. Queen Mum is not an EM or an employee of EA. Queen Mum is a player who cares a lot about the UO community.
This was not some kind of event where there was an EM challenge or we participated in some fight against an EM-controlled Virtuebane.
This was a memorial service that was organized by a player. The EMs and Mesanna showing up to attend was very nice, but this was still a player event. That didn’t matter to some. They decided to spam us with all caps and swearing and they were upset that the EMs weren’t giving them something, and were very upset when other players pointed out that this was a player event.
It’s probably best to watch that on YouTube.com (link) and watch it in 480p in expanded view.
This is my opinion, and my opinion only, and does not represent the views of anybody else mentioned in this article or this video.
It is currently going on, and many players are arriving as I post this. If you have a few minutes, make an appearance. The best way to get here is to head to Luna and take the extra moongate that is near the standard moongate.
EM Eira and EM Sangria, and others are here, and I believe I saw Mesanna. And of course a few players are trying to be jackasses and bringing up crap about the TOS and asking for special items from EMs.
I would like to thank Queen Mum from TLF for hosting this event.
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
Oceania
The expected downtime is 1.5 hours.
Thanks for your understanding.
This maybe ahead of the upcoming publish revolving around Magincia.
