* All town guards except the ones in Britain have been sent on holiday
* Dark Towers of Death guarded by hordes of undead minions
* Glass Swords of Shattering, for one-shot smackdown fun!
* Accelerated skill and stat gain and one Advanced Character Token per guest
* Permanent worldwide darkness, as we’ve banished the sun!
* Kill and death stat tracking. How many can YOU slay?
If this sounds like your idea of fun, then look for Shard of the Dead (SOTD) on the UO server list, log in, and let your inner rabid monster come out and play. Some important notes:
* Shard of the Dead will only run through December to give you a taste of the mayhem.
* Test Center giveaways and commands are disabled – you start with minimal gold and gear!
* There are no item insurance or blessings (except spellbooks and runebooks)
* Dark Towers are near the Virtue Shrines
* To get a Glass Sword, stand atop a Tower and survive for 30 seconds!
(An Instant Kill, 10,000 Damage/Hit Weapon)
* Gold in most monster loot drops has been doubled
* It’s all in good fun, so enjoy it!

FYI the word "Fun" needs to be removed from that line concerning Glass Swords..
