I can't believe it's been hours that Pacific has been down and not one word from anyone at EA/Mythic. They could at least acknowledge that they're aware of the problem...

1m says this thread will get locked before the server comes up.

Any takers?
Not sure about that...there are two Napa Valley...two Lake Austin servers...two Origin servers...very weird.

There appears to be some duping going on, for sure, and we aren't talking ornies!

They are Shard Dupers! At least I see two of the shards noted, persistently for about 15 minutes now.

rolleyes:

I do wish they would get it fixed though.

Personally, I don't give a rat's ass about surcoats. I'd just like to be able to log in and play. My whole afternoon's UO plans have gone down the crapper.


Here here! I wanted to go to an auction and have the staff run the bids up on me if I showed interest in anything! I wanted to wander around aimlessly looking for flowers to buy because I went to bed before I found any. Try and find a stupid specific parachest I'm looking for and generally play the damn game!

I gotta headache from trying to make sense of slave and her drama.... pass the aspirin please.

Re: Pac is Down

Someone very wealthy on Pacific and very closely connected to the Rares Festival once told me they loaned their giant spider statue (black widow?) to someone and it got duped, so I'm with you.


Persons closely associated with this Rares Festival also run UO gold/items for sale for cash websites.

Last night when I heard they were offering free xfers of other players rares to Pac from the other player's home shards, it all came together in my mind.

Diabolical!

And here I was thinking these people were Hayseeds.

The named surcoats Messana handed out for a PLAYER run event is a fiasco that needs correcting.

I asked some of the recipients of these Rares Festival 'Staff' surcoats that Messana handed out what exactly it is a 'staff' does at the Rares Festival...

I can't imagine any rares collector would hand a total stranger any serious rare just because Messanna made them a named surcoat calling them 'Staff', if they did, they'd be very UNwise.

I got mostly crickets, but one guy did said they helped to 'organize' it.


I did page on 4 of them last night who were wearing their "Staff" surcoats, as Messanna stated in another thread that if she could get those event surcoats back she'd put timers on them.

She certainly had the chance to get 4 of them back last night...

This is one of those things about customer support/communicating to the users. A blurb on the UO website would be great stating that the shard is down. Even a generic message stating "The Pacific Shard is down and emergency maintenance is being conducted, we apologize for the inconvenience." Without a notice it makes you wonder if they even know its down. I can't see that taking more than 5 minutes and with what 5 hours of down time it'd be really nice for them to tell us they know its down.

Gets the feeling the game will one day end like this. Show up one day and all the servers are down. But I bet they will continue to charge my credit card untill I manually change billing info.

Funny you say that I just posted in the ask the devs section about the shard being down. They usually do post on uo hearld with the generic shard is unavailable message.

Wouldnt you think this is similar to a gas staion running out of gas when you are trying to fill up at the pump?

What ever happened to customer service?

They used to clean your windshield when you purchased gas. Ever since windshield cleaning was nerfed in favor of convienience; customer service is now defined by making correct change.

After you tamed the hampsters, did you perchance turn off the lights?

Didnt you heed the warnings?!?! :sad3:

Hey folks,

I was just made aware of the situation and have posted on the Herald. The ops team have been working on this issue for several hours now; however, there is currently no ETA.

I'll update the Herald article as information becomes available, thanks all for your cooperation and continued patience :)

Thanks James, great to see the postings! Even with no ETA its reassuring to hear EA didn't forget about Ultima Online :).

Looks longer than an hour or two. I did all these new haven quests on this one character this morning and now it's all undone.

I got up and did some chores this morning. Then I sat down and busted out some Imbuing gains, and they are all gone. That was at about 7:30 AM...

Bummer. I haven't been able to play at all lately...then I log in, and get all gains reverted.

Beauty.

My toon is in the same spot I was in when I very first logged in today
Mine is just about in the same spot it was logged in yesterday. This means that I lost 5 hours of bod filling, not to mention the hour or so of sorting prior to filling them. What a crock of ****. A whole day gone to hell.

If this was a duper crash, they'd better hope I don't find them or find out who they are. I'll make their lives living hell. :gun:

Pretty bummed about UO atm




"I log in maybe once a week as of lately and have recently gone from 5 accounts to 2 and after this, I dont see why I would log in anymore. It's devestating to the game."

He didn't say he was quitting. He said he didn't know why he continued to log in. That's not even close to the same thing.
Well, he is actually a she :p but you're right Connor, it's not the same as quitting... as for logging in, I havent logged into UO in over a week. The most I have done is open my client to download the patch.

Slave girl, if you're gonna quote someone, quote everything. I am bummed about UO atm, I have no desire to log in and play, but I also said I wasnt quitting.. scroll down further in that thread.

And since this no longer has anything to do with Pac being down and since I answered your question regarding who lols is, I am done posting here.

I guess that means the operation went ok then...:lol:




Connor read more carefully please.


You are calling Pacific's shard reporter Morgaine/Eyes of Origin/lolz a man who has had a sex change operation.

That isn't very nice of you.

But then, you once offered to send me an armadillo hat, which granted you permanent access to a front row seat in the 3rd graders of UO classroom in my head.

And they say you are a grandfather irl!

Indeed!

Slave, read between the lines. It was a joke. It was also not directed at you. I'm sure if EoO had an issue with it, she would have said something.



But then, you once offered to send me an armadillo hat, which granted you permanent access to a front row seat in the 3rd graders of UO classroom in my head.
Cool. I've always enjoyed the front of the classroom. The teacher almost always picks the people behind you to answer the tough questions.


And they say you are a grandfather irl!

Indeed!
As usual, they, and you, are wrong.
