I thought I would do my good deed for the year and putt a fact up of things known about the event so far so everyone that is not a board warrior has a fair chance to have a general idea of whats happening and a general idea how to get the uber leet loot we all know we will be seeing in Luna soon.
All of the following questions are ones Draconi has answered (except for 2.A) and thus are the ones I feel are very reliable and should be give us a good idea of what is going on so far.

1. What is up with the "you suddenly feel you have the strength of 2 men"?

Answer 1. Those who were there on day one receive a heal buff while remaining inside the time rift. This is not the only effect, and your continued presence in the rift will no doubt bring you even more benefits...

2. Has anyone gotten any arties aside from Planesword & Planeshield?

Answer 2. Good question! Answer 2.A Planeswords, Planeshields, a thread of fate,a thread of life, Shadowlords can drop RARE set items and a cloak of corruption is all the loot that you can get off the various monsters as I can tell so far.

3. Has anyone seen any Mystic weapons drop on any corpses?

Answer 3. Hmm, maybe Berserkers?

4. What's up with the totally insane lag? I didn't lag this much even at the beginning of Magincia.

Answer 4. Hundreds of people on the same screen at once

5. I notice that the area we're fighting in has the dynamic objects. Is there going to be rubble?

Answer 5. Nope

6. Why is there no area where we can rez without being rezkilled over and over? The creatures spawn everywhere, including right at the entrance gate.

Answer 6. I'm sure a solution will present itself in due course

7. What happens if you lose the piece of blackrock you had with you on the first day? Is it the blackrock that's marked or it the character that's marked, or even possibly the account?

Answer 7. Character. More things will reveal themselves in the time rift over the coming weeks. Think Magincia.

8. Loyalties?

Answer 8: Some have already chosen, more will be given a choice directly, and most can simply align themselves to the cause they feel is their own.

9. Blackrock usefulness in the timerift?

Answer 9: Try casting Armageddon, spell caster or no, in front of a Shadowlord.

Answer 9.A saying the text (Vas Kal An Mani In Corp Hur Tym) with blackrock in you're pack (which I think destroys the piece) casts the spell and you don't have to be a mage.

10. Are the Shadowlords really back? A: Astaroth, Nosfentor, Faulinei:

Answer 10 Yes.

11. Wait, aren't we killing them in the time rift?

Answer 11: Not the true forms of the ones that have been freed in Britannia.

These are echoes lost in the ethereal void.

12. What happened to Kronos?

Answer 12: Murdered by Astaroth.

13. What happened to Melissa, why did they fail to protect the gate?

Answer 13 : ...

14. Can we join the Shadowlords faction?

Answer 14 ... your choice.

15. Hey Drac....If we're supposed to kill the spawns in the buildings....We can't.

Answer 15 Fixed - all doors now usable.

16. Is it supposed to go for a week or not? I am guessing its just another glorified cycle spawn at core.

Answer 16 The "ethereal" forms of the three Shadowlords will continually reappear in the time rift.You cannot kill the real Shadowlords at this time, these are merely extensions.They seek blackrock, but they also fear it.The spell, Armageddon, may aid you for once.Destroying an ethereal form of a Shadowlord will yield great riches, and greater curses.Yielding to their demands...

Also if anyone has anymore info feel free to add to the post and anyone with any pics of loot or tactics etc feel free to post that too.

Good deeds.

I still remember that Plucky took me to get my first whatever to use for doantions to the library. He got killed along the way, but what I am trying to say is that's Plucky was more than willing to help, that is, as one of his other characters. I love playing UO cause of people like him. This is my third year. I never thought I would be playing this long. Use to watch my older sisters play. But never thought I would. Kinda thought it stupid, them I made my first character, and it just went from there. To think, my oldest sister, who started this account will graduate next month from Air Force academy, and from there, go fly those nifty wifty B-52 bombers or whatever. Anyway......These days, playing kinda off and on, I love still coming on cause of the memories of people like him, DebconLady, Deadmeat, Cash, Matt (aka Omni), and a cast of many, like those at old Fort Briarwood and FSB and Willow...gosh. Where has time gone.

Oops. Sorry. Kinda lost myself in reverie.

Sorry Omni. Was thinking of an old Myspace account I had and visiting the Legends page. Maybe I was thinking of Trace or somebody. Anyway, I also remember you as host of that page, or am I still wrong? Love your posts here anyway. You always been a great read.

I still host that page, all though I dont really mess with it anymore. Plucky seems to think its my fault peopl got hacked cause they joined my myspace page. I can assure that wasnt the reason, but I dont really do much with it anymore.

Since no one has found them yet, I have a feeling they are not in the game yet, perhaps with the next publish???
