What can i say:
I live in Germany. First one half of Germany was drowning in rain and flood, other half was dry cleaned by the sun and insane temperatures, then we had some beautiful thunderstorms including end of the world feeling and downbursting rain, now we are waitung for the next heat wave. :)
--> Solution: Do not go outside and better play UO. ^^

I know summer time I'm barely on. I'm probably more active on the forum during summer than in game (and thats not saying much). Summer is a busy time for me, and probably alot of the others.

This time always gets really slow. Each year.

School gets let out... Summer starts, etc.

Always picks back up

I can honestly say I've just been swamped. workin 2 jobs, and getting ready for fireworks shows. I'm still hitting the forums a couple times a day, but little else.

I'm getting ready for work now.......(pooh).


But as said earlier in the post. Summer is always slow.

So you are pretty close to Battle Creek then?

You can only successfully apply bandages so many times before the wounds become fatal.
UO is a game that, with each passing year, receives at least one or two concussing blows from the mainstream game market.
This isn't because the shard is failing, Pandora is not failing, it's because every year, there is a grace period where some seriously good distractions come to the shelves, in the form of Skyrim last year and The Last Of Us, this year.

Endure and Survive, anyone? ;)

Exactly. All the shards have seen player count drop. It's not a Pandora issue, it is a 16 year old game issue. It happens. Ultima players are a genre niche. There will always be some, but slowly it gets smaller and smaller.

Though not for nothing, people always tend to come back eventually too. I see an old player log in at least once a week.

After the juicy news Vor spoke of in game today! I see us growing by leaps and bounds! im excited.. and not going anywhere! I have played many games, but UO will always be my 1st love.. graphics dont make a game for me, features and game play are more important!

Just gotta get the final coat of paint done on this patch and we're good to go.

The list:

* Craft Gumps overhaul
* House placement testing for Farmer's Cabin (the odd one out that still refuses to work)
* Rune Codex gump.
* Abyssal Portal: The Sundering.
* Imbuing Slayers (testing)
