What's here, and what's to come:


News ::  May 11 2008 7:04:41 pm  -  Update [May 11 08] - Some AI / misc updates
* Mobs will now have less tendancy to attack people who are close to it. This means tamers who are vetting their pet will have a lesser chance of being targeted then people further behind. Though mobs still have a small chance to turn on tamer, just not as high as before.

* Fixed display bug with talismans showing the word Talisman and "Talisman of NN" under, when the "Talisman of.." should be the actual name. This bug was introduced with a tweak and went unnoticed.

* Added buff/debuff icon for reactive armor

* Added buff/debuff icon for protection

* Tweaked some values to hopefully fix the slow pet issue.

* Fishing poles have been moved to the weapon class. This is experimental but should be ok. They can now be used as a mace wep, and can have properties like any other weapon. Due to this change all rods had to be globally deleted. I normally avoid global deletes but this is a very low end item and easy to get so should hopefully pose no issue.

News ::  May 08 2008 4:52:14 pm  -  Network Maintenance - Friday May 10, 2008
There will be network maintenance which will involve about 15-30 minutes of network downtime next Friday. As this is a network outage it will not affect the game state, as the server will continue to run. This downtime can happen anytime between 12:00am to 6:00am CDT.newsimg

News ::  May 06 2008 7:05:14 pm  -  Update [May 6 08] - Carpentry system + misc
* Carpentry system has been updated to include a numerous bunch of missing items. There's a lot more to craft in the system and it's alphabetized to make items easier to find.

* The entryway to the palace of paroxysmus now requires an acid proof rope. Acid proof ropes can be created by carpenters with a few common ingredients. If you do not have an acid proof rope, you can purchase one from the NPC standing by the hole. Also, please be advised that the exit from the palace of paroxysmus is no longer the same as the entrance. There is a staircase to the east (It's made out of stone) that will allow you to exit the dungeon.

* The entry items for the palace of paroxysmus and blighted grove have had their prices increased. This is to give incentive to actually craft the items. Machetes can be crafted with blacksmithing and acid proof ropes with carpentry. Crafting requires a bit more preparation (Not a lot) but it's a way cheaper method to go than buying the item at the entrance. Also, unlike OSI, the items do not have a counter on them every time you enter a dungeon which causes them to break after some time. I'd advise explorers to insure their machetes/ropes before entering the dungeons.

* Thief armor set drops have been slightly increased in dungeon chests.

News ::  Apr 27 2008 8:07:49 pm  -  Update[April 24, 08] Acids and Various Masterpiece changes
Forgot to post this update log a few days ago before I left for vacation but here they are:

* Kappas now drop less acid
* Increased chances for masterpiece resource drops on corpses
* Lowered uncommon masterpiece resource drops on supremes and added a max drop for common resources
* Increased chance of obtaining a masterpiece weapon on supremes. It is also now possible to get a masterpiece weapon off the smaller supremes
* Lowered the amount of common masterpiece resources you can get from dungeon chests. Slightly increased the chances to get uncommon masterpiece resources from dungeon chests
* Increased the scale of masterpiece weapons you can sometimes find in high end dungeon chests
* Added a special "thief armor set" to level 6 dungeon chests. It will take awhile to get all 6 pieces but when combined, the suit is easy to stealth in, gives a 30+ skill bonus in thieving skills as well as high resists in physical, fire and poison and excellent regenerations.
* Orb of elements and scales of balance have had their masterpiece points increased.
* Fixed a bug with faleryns that caused a crash. They are now safe to fight
* Solen warriors and solen queens can now throw acid at ranged attackers as per osi (The initial hit does little damage but if you continue to step in the acid at your feet, it will hurt)

News ::  Apr 23 2008 11:59:10 pm  -  DNS switchover [done]
As you may or may not know I plan to move all my hosting to the same server this shard is on, so I can consolidate and save money (paying 20/m for hosting, on top of server cost).

So as phase1, I'm moving all my DNS to ns1.iceteks.net and ns2.iceteks.net.

uovalor.com has been moved just now but this can take a few days to propagate.

If by chance there are issues just note this information down:


uo server: 67.19.158.243 (for razor)
this site: 74.86.121.176


You don't have to change anything unless login.uovalor.com stops resolving.

News ::  Apr 22 2008 9:55:02 pm  -  Server Crash [bug fixed]
If any of you can tell us what you were doing at the time of the crash that would be helpful. We will check the logs a bit later to get a better reading of what caused the crash but any information you can give us will be helpful. Thanks.newsimg

News ::  Apr 20 2008 7:01:56 pm  -  Update [Apr 20 08] - Submersia, new pigment systemmisc fixes
* Submersia will be back open soon as the vendors have been fixed. Prices have been changed and delays have been added to vendors to avoid crimpling the economy by introducing thousands of new resources per second (this was possible before due to lack of delays). Also bags of sending no longer work there.

* Fixed some travel glitches (recall, mark, etc)

* Pigments of felucca have been replaced with a special ticket that will bring you to a dye room. From there you can use an ordinary bottle to store pigments of your choice from the wide variety of kegs in that room. The room is not yet complete but will be soon. Existing pigments of fel will remain as is for now but may end up being turned into tickets over time once we are done the room.

* The new pigment system allows for dye transferring. So once you have a bottle of dye, you can transfer charges to a brand new bottle (Double clicking you dye bottle and targeting an empty bottle will produce a new bottle with 1 charge of dye while the other bottle loses a charge). If you wish to transfer say, a bottle of 20 charges into 2 bottles of 10 charges each, you can. This will make dyes easier to sell and trade.

* 1 mil checks can now be used on the roulette. If the check is bigger, it will simply deduct 1mil from it.

* Flamestrike damage has been slightly increased. It was too low of damage for the cast time and mana consumption

* Inscription now adds 20% SDI (can be 35 with items)

Note that these mage changes are subject to change.

News ::  Apr 15 2008 8:26:16 pm  -  Server reboot: April 16 @ 8:00PM ET
Tomorrow immediately after the server goes down for its regular restart, I will reboot the entire server. This is a routine testing to ensure that all startup services and scripts run properly as the server has not yet been rebooted since it was setup.

This way if something goes wrong, at least it was a planned outage and not a random surprise at a very bad time.

This should take about 10-30 minutes, then services will be restored.
