Patch 25 - Pandora Server Upgraded & Client Upgrade 7.0.18

-  Thanks to the 1/2 donation sale, Pandora has gotten a major server upgrade. Somethings include: double the RAM and switching from HDD to SDD.
The server bill per month has doubled but I am confident in our players. So thank you.

- We have upgraded client versions to keep up with OSI. You can go into your UO directory and double click AutoPatch.exe. Patch all the way up to 7.0.18 - Each patch brings new bits
of content from the official shards that Pandora can utilize. You are playing the most up to date UO client in the world now, that's Pandora. (Note if you choose not to update there will be things you cannot walk on etc)

- FFA Battle stats have restarted to get away from a bug of showing how many wins you had and other things.

- Young players will now automatically stay young for 2 weeks to a month or when they renounce their young status.

- There is now a "Resurrection Garden" on some spots on the moongates. This is a easy way to get ressed quick. It's also part of the new map from updating client.

- There is a new town in Tokuno. Samurai Cove, find it via the moongate. It's a non pvp zone with Insula like rules. It's surrounded by darkness, with plenty of places to place houses. Place before they fill up. This is a fun new neighborhood. There is also some teleporters in there that will lead you to places you have never seen.

In the works & side notes

- There is a information system for Pandora that is almost complete. It will allow you to find people in your same country and see the country of other players.
Now this is a option you can turn off or on for your own Privacy, but there is a lot we can do with that system.

- There is also a Team Battle in the works using our new battle system that runs the FFA. Soon there will be auto 4v4's etc.

- Remember if you enter a pvp battle on more than 1 character all your pvp coins will be deleted and possible jail time.

- As a side note, the Bedlam Grizzled quest has a weird bug with it, no one complete that quest for right now until we find out what is wrong with it.

- Thanks to everyone for making Pandora the best server out there. It's awesome to sit back and look at how it has grown. Again I will keep pumping new contentand other things into Pandora as long as the players play.

- Much more to come. Cheers.
