How are we supposed to play the Invasion Event with continuous freezes & disconnections ?

I do not understand how we are supposed to play the Invasion Event content with the continuous freezes and disconnections... and no, it is not my connection because I asked in General Chat to fellow players and they are also experiencing the same...

Perhaps, it should be better to put the Events on hold until the connection issues with the servers are fixed for good and then prolong, also to help out UO players with their reduced enjoyment of this content because of these connection issues, the Events deadlines ?

    im normally pretty lag free even with the bots, but its definitely got worse since yesterday, even on my "dead" shard

    Obviously i didnt go to Fel to test if it was better, as im a trammie and Fel is full of pvp losers ;-)

    good war and totally legitimate ^^
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    Leave attended paying accounts alone, these people go thru a lot of trouble to play/automate the game.

    Nothing new here to UO’s usual unexpected update problems here although this was the first time my shard was not listed when I logged back on after being disconnected.  YouTube has great black and white B movies from the 50’s and the 60’s you can use to pass the time until the game gets back to normal.  That’s what I do.  Appreciated that they sent my toon home in good condition.  Would have expected to see something from the developers on the other thread relating the problems with the game that day, but all I saw was a warning treating to close the thread.

    I would say to everyone, just take a break from UO for a few days, let this process play out 

    DDOS /Migration.  Whatever may or may not be going on will affect you

    Everyone hates reverts and losing stuff or having a char trapped in a dungeon only to find them dead when you manage to get back in

    Leave your chars at home, relax. play something else like Star Citizen!

    Come back later when its stabilized

    The tech was not where Chris wanted it to be.. so they been working on other stuff.. now the tech is ready (server meshing).. as soon squadron 42 gonna launch.. the mass gonna start dreaming about SC with them nerds.

    Peronally I crowfunded SotA instead.. huge mistake that teached me a lesson.. never again.

    Steam has many single player games.  Dawn of Man and Planetbase are made by the same company. They are builders. Lots of other builders.  All the Age of Empires.
    They have most board games you can play against other players, Wingspan, Dominion, Catan. etc.

    If you like top down single turn games, Jagged Alliance is cool.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Personally I got Starcraft, Civ 5 and duckstation installed.

    This gems drop 2 days ago *crossing fingers*



    I'm not giving on UO tho.. with such WTF.. we need to aim for the head.. with actual legit players support; we could achieve the end result waaaay faster.. i'm not coping with the level of anti play we got in game and for what result? peanuts..?
    When we could have one of the top 10 MMOrpg even in 2025??

    Heresy..

    If UO was still being run by Kyronix alone, I could say things like 'Keep up the good work, don't push yourself too hard,' 'The various problems are the accumulated consequences of the past. You shouldn't have to shoulder all the responsibility alone,' and 'Well, I'll keep supporting you.' However, I cannot comprehend how a company with dozens of employees fails to properly communicate progress updates, let alone have their producer say even a single word. If I were in their position, I would undoubtedly be working tirelessly to explain the situation to users and respond sincerely.

    The scripters who keep devaluing GP, the RMT-controlling cheaters, the pointless censorship on the forums - honestly, none of these issues individually have much impact on me personally. They're problems I can somewhat avoid by simply turning a blind eye and deaf ear.

    But what happens when all these tolerable individual issues pile up together? Distrust continues to grow, and users start leaving... Yes, that's exactly what's happening with UO now.

    Broadsword's lack of communication skills is not an issue that should be overlooked.

    to be fair with Rorshach.. it was a decent moderation in this case, imo.. nothing zealous.. he was just covering for Paiwan.. like he did in the past. (when Paiwan put his foot in his mouth and gets outbrain) ^^

    @qwery U did not mention the most important imo.. the fact the PvP and other PvP related content like champ spawn or main event on felucca is totally ruined by those cheaters and how the GM's cover for them.. same for forum moderator and community manager.. u can say the same till u reach the head/ executive producer.

    Give us a legit shard with zealous GM's or give them cheater shards.. type of shard u'd have a GM visiting once per month for the EM event... replace shard bound by Ban World bound/tag... this is the first step i'd go for minimal effort to show good result for the game.

    Is this the right thread to ask about shard stability? I've seen others close off with 'plenty of threads already covering this topic' ?

    Are they now stable, I don't want to put efforts in if they are just going to continue to drop? Its been nearly a week since the dev's posted any updates?

    I am sorry, there is no new information available at this time.

    To @popps the ToT in total is going to last over 90 days with the manifestation and nightmares closer to 120. A few days loss here or there is irrelevant. If you (or anyone) haven't gotten what you wanted already, you're likely not going to get it ever.

    Sure would have been nice to be able to play right now. Too cold to do anything outside but work.

    I'm for an extension.  Still need 4 more bears just to have 1 on each tamer.

    No, They are not stable. Over 1/3 of the shards are down now, and you can’t even log in.

    An extension won’t do any good if they can’t keep the shards up.

    Any idea when we might get an update? or better yet an end to the interruptions?

    I was in a house move, placing things down, locking and then server crash.  I get on and a short time later notice a uo store soulstone is missing with 100 begging on it.  one of the most time consuming skills to get.  i contacted a gm, got told they don't replace items.  I can see when someone makes a mistake but this was not my fault.  Reverts happen and stuff goes poof.  I wouldn't be upset if it was something minor that got lost, but 1) i paid IRL money for it.  2) the skill took a month or more to get to 100 of playing every night for hours. and 3) this was caused by UO crashing, not my mistake.  There should be some leniency on replacing items.  Not like I'm saying i lost something ridiculous.  

    and for fuck's sake, ban the bots and scripters.  they take everything in the game worth having only to try to sell it back to you for irl money (aint happening with me.)
