Welcome to Age of Valor, an Ultima Online free shard. AoV is a fast developing AoS/SE/ML/Custom freeshard, featuring full blown content such as an advanced monster AI, ML peerless bosses, special moves, spellweaving, automated event system, non overpowered custom artifacts and much more! The server is not like many who are on some PC in a basement. AoV is in a world class data center on real server hardware and is on many redundant backbone connections. A large portion of our code is fully custom to us only. This is no cookie cutter shard. We take things seriously and do it right while bringing you only the best of what Ultima Online has to offer in a free shard.
If you want to get started right away configure razor to go to the following server: login.uovalor.com port 1337.

| News :: Jul 12 2010 5:10:35 pm - Scheduled Maintenance - July 13 2010 [Completed] | Starting at 6:00PM ET on July 13 (Tomorrow) the server will be going down for some maintenance. Defrag, patching, and a reboot.
The Windows VM has not been rebooted probably over a year, and it is well overdue.
This should not take more then half an hour as most of the steps can be done live before this outage. This should hopefully solve the lag issues reported.
6:01PM ET - Server reboot
6:17PM ET - 2nd round of patching started - ETA 30 minutes
7:04PM ET - Patching completed, rebooting
7:10PM ET - Reboot completed. Shard is now back online.

| News :: Jun 15 2010 9:50:23 pm - Status Update | Just thought I would make an official status update on the state of the revamp and such.
As you may or may not know, the biggest hurdle has been to get the alternate data storage system to work well. While the MySQL was a success to a certain extent, there was a few performance issues, and other flaws with the way it worked, and I have decided to go with a totally custom storage engine, which is now nearing completion. This engine is better optimized for the type of data we are dealing with.
Once the data storage portion is finalized, tested for a while on TC1, and ready for production, it will be setup on live for some more testing before it is officially deployed.
Once the storage system is ready, it will then be released to live. This update will also include any other changes done to the test environment since the last shard update. And yes, this includes compatibility for the packet changes done by EA since the last update.
There will also be a few other changes such as the addition of the 7th character slot.
From this point on, we will try to do our best to concentrate on actual content. Unfortunately lot of the ML content will require lot of system revamps to code it properly. The property and craft system, for example, is a real mess and may need to be redone.
In the meantime we may also just add more events or other stuff to make sure there is always something to do. I also plan to add a dev environment so TC1 can be kept solely to mirror live. Anything that goes to TC1 is destined to go to live in a short period of time, as opposed to what I did with the SQL. Doing it this way will allow larger more complex updates to not go to TC1, so in the event a small change has to go to live, we can always do it directly to TC1 and release it right away (such as patching). So hopefully once we get back on our feet, we will be able to fully get up to date with OSI patching.
I am really hoping to have an update ready by mid July. | | |
| News :: May 28 2010 3:23:34 pm - transit provider link maintenance [June 6 2010] | | On June 6, 2010, between 12:00AM and 05:00AM CDT, our provider's Network Engineering team will be performing maintenance on one of our transit provider links in Dallas. Since there are multiple providers, service disruption is not expected, however, there may be the possibility of higher than normal latency while routes shift onto another provider and/or link. If you experience any lag during these times it may be due to this maintenance. | | |
| News :: Apr 13 2010 9:23:55 pm - Updates | For the last time, the server updates will be applied when they are ready for production. There is still a lot of work to be done before it is production worthy.
Any other thread started on this topic will be deleted or locked, as of now.
Also, for those who want to simply complain, we have installed new electric revolving doors and they work quite well. The 20kw motor really has a good kick to it. | | |
| Event :: Dec 17 2009 10:26:03 pm - The Dark Christmas | It has come to our attention that there is a dark christmas tree in Luna leading to a ruined city filled with dark elves who have stolen and are guarding the only entranceway to Santa's Village! Only with your help can this year's shipments make it out of the village! The dark elves must be fought, and we can have a white christmas!
