*laughs* Well I am a day late and a dollar short. I was thinking TOMORROW was the 15th cuz well...I am behind a day.

I did manage to get one vacation waffer into one of my fish tanks but um...got the notice shards going DOWN.

Ok they were all due to be fed and watered today... so maybe I end up with a buncha dead fishes floating belly up, whenever the shards come back...or not. Maybe the fishes will survive ! ?

Hopefully this hardware work will address some of the lag problems I've noticed in the last week.

Re: [UO Herald] Hardware Maintenance 12/15/10 - All Shards

Why hardware maintenance all shards at once? Easier to break everything without chance for rollback.

Maybe some emergency publish they can't say in public like exploit fix?

Re: [UO Herald] Hardware Maintenance 12/15/10 - All Shards

Im hoping with such a long downtime the devs are gonna flame and burn down all the duper houses like they did a year or so back....

if so all the naughty dupers arses will be twitching like mad till the servers come back up and they see if thev'e survived or there duped hord is toasted!!!
