I'm just surprised no one is on call when a server goes down or malfunctions, no monitoring capabilities? No official update? Disaster recovery process definitely needs review...
The login server is also with Amazon Web Services, as far as I know, and you'd think a company of that size and customer base would have tremendous resources at its disposal (relatively speaking, compared to a small outfit that would need someone to come in at 3 a.m. or run out in the middle of his kid's soccer game).

Yes, with the log in server, you know how it is with a Sinclair ZX81, someone just walked through the room and the air displacement jogged the 16k RAM pack in the back, they just need to unplug it and plug it in again
But let's give them some credit. They upgraded last year.

Now let's see that in Pascal, maybe Fortran? :)

If the login servers are completely down, how about a system that responds: "Shall we play a game?"

I wouldn't mind a nice game of chess when the servers are down...

Now, where can I enter "JOSHUA" to bypass the login server?

Just noticed something. I used to be able to log out of one character and immediately log in with another character without closing the client. Now, when I go to switch characters, I have to completely close out of UO first, then open it anew to log in the other character.

This would be extremely annoying, especially if one has to log back in with another character in a hurry....

I hope it gets fixed soon....

It looks like they fixed it, thank goodness. Must have been a temporary glitch connected to the login problems.
