As a an emissary of the largest guild in uo I am really missing this tool. It was handy to look up a recruit see their top 3 skills and see if they veteran player. Please fix this as soon as possible.

My UO

As you may not remember, it has already been nearly a month that our beloved MY UO has been offline.
MyUO is offline | Mythic Entertainment | Ultima Online
I wish to know what has come of it? Was there an issue with the program? When will it be fixed? All of these questions, if not more, have arisen due to this issue. So start off with this, what is the current situation with it?

Did all the other threads about this escape your attention?

It works through the Japanese website, so it's not technically offline/broken, it's just that you have to take a detour to get to it.

Basically it's just the website and not the service that is down, >.>

Yes. I'm guessing there are three parts to the equation - the actual servers that run UO and have all of the information - players, skills, etc., the servers that query the game servers for the player information, and the website/front-end that takes those queries and makes them into something humans can understand. The Japanese website/front-end is up and running, ours is not.

Yea I was more pointing to the fact that it means they will not be making it more useful, just more "pretty" if they do anything to it at all.

I can't believe I didn't see it.

I definitively asserted on my website years ago that EA had stopped paying for its UO servers, and that sooner or later the server owners would realize they weren't being paid and the shards would shut down one by one.

Well, clearly the server for MyUO is being shut down before the shards are.

I can't believe I didn't make the connection after I definitively asserted all that information on my Internet site.

In the act of exposing their con, I fell for it.

Except both servers are still working....just not the code for the English version of the web site. >.>

(Despite your possible roleplay here I felt the need to say that xD)

The server owners have simply not realized yet that they are not being paid.

My website definitively asserts this.

What more do you want?

Lol, well I did not argue that fact just that the current issue has nothing to do with them suddenly realizing it. xD

Actually, if, after you look up the character name, you click to see who they are guilded with, the link takes you to the "my uo is broken" page... so it's not really functional.

Re: Character Search My OU ?

Larisa, I'm afraid even when fully active the site only shows characters logged in during the last 30 days.

I suspect that some of the problem is the conversion to the new CMS Mythic are using.
You can see how active your guild members are through the guild interface in game, which will show when they last logged in, but not how their skills are progressing :(

It takes you to a link like:

Code:
http://uoherald.com/node/410/cgi-bin/guildsj.pl?[B]g=dc9aa8423556fa93:13[/B]
the bold part is the guild and the shard id (shard id for siege is :13, europa is :24, etc.). Insert that id ("g=dc133ebc497cbc64:24" in this case) after the working link "http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?":

Code:
http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?g=dc9aa8423556fa93:13
this is the working page for the guild. The links to the character pages will not work on that page though but you can search the chars using the previously posted links.

I didn't share this before since there were a lot of speculation regarding the UO population and it would certainly be used for quite inaccurate population estimates, but here's an interesting guild page:

The player characters that are not part of any guild is considered as a guild too. The guild id for the "no" guild is "737c77c87e177a5d". Inserting the shard id after this will give you all the player characters that were active in the last 30 days and are not member of any guild.

So for Siege (shard id: 13):
Code:
http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?g=737c77c87e177a5d:13
Europa (shard id: 24)
Code:
http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?g=737c77c87e177a5d:24
Atlantic (shard id: 0)
Code:
http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?g=737c77c87e177a5d:0
Yamato (shard id: 20)
Code:
http://town.jp.uo.com/cgi-bin/guilds.pl?g=737c77c87e177a5d:20

I don't think it's been "our" UO since Mythic took over. :thumbdown:
We just have to make it our UO.

Quick, somebody set up a website, and every time you see somebody in game, take a look at them and then go to the website and create a profile about them along with what you can see (titles, clothing). You won't get all of the skills, but it's a start.

Seriously though, I have a feeling that UO.com is getting an overhaul.

They could have done all these supposed upgrades on an internal server and tested them without taking MYUO down. So all these guesses are probably wrong.

My guess (just to join the band wagon): Someone was using the site to exploit something somehow.

Well looks like there are some rumblings over there on the uoherald
The guild listings are starting to look accurate...but still no links unless you use the japanese site.

Barok, I think you might be correct on why it was down but will go a step further. Anyone notice it went down right around the hacking thing on other websites associated with EA? Perhaps I am off on my dates but it seemed to coincide with the Bioware server being hacked by LulzSec or Anonymous or whomever. I think all that was reported June 23rd or so...which means it probably happened a week or two before that.
