It looks like the escort NPCs have returned to the Tram cities experiencing the War of the Shadows invasions. Does this mean the invasions are over?

I believe that was on the test shard pub notes. I also know they've mentioned that there will be platinum dragons sometime in the future. I guess if you want the official word on what is happening you can always check out the UO Japan site. Apparently the person that is suppose to inform us about the pub going live on production shards is training stealth and hidding because no one has seen or heard from them.

It's sad that we would have to do that.

For some reason I found this very funny. Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Yep, I was just surprised to see them jump the gun, as p58 isn't in yet :)

Sadly, my Japanese is pretty close to non-existent. If I were a little more capable, I suppose I could have gotten the 11th year collection! I heard post facto it was a prerequisite.

Well said, thanks for the grin resulting from your comment.

If you google the site, you can get it translated. Just be warned that it translates word for word so some of the posts will read a little funny. I copied a section about the server maintance, so just think Yoda as you read.
Much informed they are.

From UO Japan website translated.

Regular maintenance of the building to move our schedule and the UO will be limited support. Everyone will have to much trouble, please forward to your cooperation and understanding customer. If you have further news on this matter will be informed by this section.

Just looked at the publish notes on their website and they had these additions.

We added a new item Serado own reward. [3 / 19 added]
Exorcism of expanding the reach and impact, in addition to the overall champion two areas to cover the range of the screen. [3 / 19 added]
Gold and Silver was a bit lighter in weight than ever before. [3 / 19 added]

Gift of Life If you are using now a window of death after resuscitation. [3 / 19] Akira Osamu THIS WAS MARKED THRU LIKE THEY REMOVED IT FROM THE PUBLISH

Publish the transfer bag 48 just reverted to the previous version. [3 / 19 added] BOS maybe?

Yes, the invasions are ending this publish. An event will be held this weekend to officially liberate the cities.

Not the end of the event cycle however, correct?

Oh no, nope! We still have platinum dragons, the Shadowlords themselves, and a Bell of Courage to handle.

And quite possibly the collapse of the Underworld, but that's just...

Draconi, any news on what's going to happen with the timing for sigil corruption and purification, missing guard zones, bonus kill points, etc., after the cities are liberated?

And a while back, someone official (don't remember who or when) indicated that something would be done to address the outlandish kill point totals that have accumulated on some shards. Any news on that front as well?

Does this mean that Faction Sigils are back to their normal timers?

Does it mean they're worth guarding now?

so this weekend?
*nods*
Well barring the need to fix lots of things beforehand.

Haven't found any kind of official EM announcement regarding the weekend yet, but I'm sure that's Draconi meant.
