UO Free Server

A series of changes and adjustments have been made to the Chivalry Skill!

Consecrate Weapon – Now functions by adding an additional amount of Direct Damage based on the user’s Chivalry Skill. This amount is 5% + 1% per every 5 skill. At skill levels above 90, it also adds 1% damage increase per 2 skill.

Noble Sacrifice:
No longer completely obliterates your Health/Stamina/Mana on successful use. Instead, it will remove a proportion (Currently 1/2) and restore that exact amount as health to all friendly targets nearby. It will also attempt to cure and resurrect them. On top of this, it will “disengage” attackers with a blinding flash of light, stunning them for 1 second. I believe I may further remove the stam/mana loss from this.

Holy Light:
Now heals friendly targets for half of the amount as it deals damage to enemy targets.

Mysticism:
Cleansing Winds should function properly now, and has both audio and visual cues.

Ninjitsu:
An adjustment has been made to Ki Strike to make it much cheaper to use but less effective at the highest bounds of the ability. This is another step in adjusting Ninjitsu to fit the theme of the server better. Eventually the spell system will have its name changed I believe. I highly recommend players test out this change, as it really makes Ki Strike a bread-and-butter ability if one uses a very active melee play style. It works particularly well with 2-range weapons.

Heavy Weapon Strength Based Swing Speed Bonus:
This is slightly experimental, but through my testing it is not broken by any means. What this change does is give weapons with a Strength Requirement of 50 or higher (Lower Requirements will affect this) a bonus to their swing speed based on the wielder’s strength. The current amount is 1% per 7.5 strength.

Powder of Fortification has been severely adjusted, pending for possible removal with other incoming changes to durability.

Hello Garret Greencorn here, let me tell you a tale of the bloodshed on the black waters. The night was cold, air with a hint of blood in it as if it were sprayed permanently into te sky

So a few days ago we had a server crash that resulted in a restart, and along with it came a a small accidental update which some of you may or may not have noticed! Even though the update is partial I feel it’s my duty to list the changes that were made, especially so that any possible unintended results of them might be noticed properly.

A number of resources have had their weights dramatically reduced. This includes raw ore, lumber, hides, lockpicks and others!

NPC repair should now remove 2 maximum durability from items, with the exception of leathers (currently). The leathers were unintentional and will probably be “fixed” to match the change. There are however a large number of changes coming that have to do with durability so it’s not a large concern.

Bosses no longer require a minimum of two players to simply take damage. However neither will they have artifacts on their corpses. Instead, they have an increased chance to drop artifacts straight to various attacker’s pack. The more people fighting a boss, the higher the chance for an artifact to be received. Anyone who deals enough damage (1/10th of the player who dealt the most damage.) and receives looting rights will have their own -individual- chance at receiving an artifact. What this means is that it is technically people for five attackers to receive five distinct artifacts each. The Luck attribute will increase these odds.

Enhancement has been fixed and modified. One small “bug” still exists in that naturally occurring Damascus weapons found as loot may not have the damage bonus they should. This should be fixed with the next patch,.

Pondering the strange book from the dameonic knight that fell from the skies above narrowhaven a few days ago, Phaere was considering her options. The neighbour mage Engale Strace came knocking on the door of the newly finished villa, and he seemed to…

You notice scrolls posted all about the lands… in towns on roads leading to far lands, and even in the smallest of villages and towns many leages from Mythndale.

To all that read this… and tell all you see… Mythndale is looking for any and all able bodied warriors and crafters. The dark times are upon us and there is a great force about the lands that is getting ready to strike. It is time to prepare. Please make your way to Mythndale. For those of you who have never heard and do not know where Mythndale lies… find your way to Narrowhaven and ask about. The Mythndale Knights are out and about. Inquire with any one of them.
Also to anyone who feels they need protection from the coming storm of darkness… make your way to Mythndale. We will aid you in anyway we can.
Now.. To any and all other kingdoms, towns, villages and borrows… Mythndale is also seeking communication with your leaders, your council or whatever and whom ever is leading or governing your homeland. It is time for the lands to unite and band together to battle what darkness is coming our way. Send pigeons or runners with word on when and where to meet. You can also simply make your way to Mythndale and seek out Merrick Godfrey. He will have council with anyone and everyone… again… it is time to band together

The scrolls were all signed with Merrick Godfreys own hand, simply… ” Merrick Godfrey, Paladin Knight of Mythndale

Each month we will make available approximately thirty of our custom decorations through this program. These may include interactive items, add-on items, containers, and more! A limited number of -each- of these items will be put up for auction throug…

While it is true that TheGuy, Orlando, and myself still hold “Ownership” of the UORP project, the Leadership of the project is no longer in our hands. We have currently placed DoubleA in charge of the project so that the three of us, along with another, can work on another game.

This means that while yes I will be staying in the channel, the End all be all will be left to DoubleA.

There are still MANY bugs in our systems as we’ve designed large amounts of content on the UORP project and now DoubleA has to play catch up. I’m sorry if anyone feels he is not moving fast enough for your wants but remember he is one person. He has his own staff members to work with him, and they will be doing a lot of things to improve the game play.

If you find a bug do not post it in the IRC. It will be forgotten about and never be delt with if that’s the only place we have to find out about it. We do however have a Bug section on the forums that should be used for this.

If you rely on PM, IRC, ext, and not the forums then you only have yourself to blame when we don’t realize we missed the bug you told us about, this section exists for this reason.

If you feel at any time that you wish to leave the server, please do. I’m not inviting you to leave just because… but we do not fight to keep our players here. Threats to leave will do nothing to us as our stance has always been that we build this server for fun, and not the player count. We do feel however by promoting fun on the server will increase the player count, it has never been a true goal.

I think I speak for DoubleA and his team when I say:
Please give this team time to work and sort everything out. They do not know every detail yet but they will get there. Already they have made improvements and will continue to do so as they hold the reigns, just let them do what they are trying to do and I’m sure that you will have fun on UORP too.

Merrick sits and studies his list of things to get done… and it is a long list. Merrick was away on business and came home to find his Tower and many belongings gone… and for a moment did contemplate leaving to different lands. He thought better of it and decided that he is not going to run or leave where he calls home ever again.
The list has grown a bit from last he looked at it but it is time to just get things done. He is still working on getting stone and ore for the walls to be built about Mythndale to secure its inner boarders. He has also noticed that there are new rable about his lands and tends to clean them up. In his travels he has found there are Egyptian folks who have moved into his Southeastern lands and taken over one of Mythndales Mining caves.. that will be delt with straight away. He has sent out several letters to the leader or leaders of these people and will first attempt to let them move out peacefully or make some other arrangement for working his lands. if this does not work he will take proper action. There is also a great deal of Orc activity to the southwest and that wil be delt with as well.
Merrick has also decided to see what can be done about clearing the jungle within his inner boarders to allow more room for business’s and of course townsfolks to expand and build new homes.
Merrick also met a very interesting young maiden warrior and was inpressed by her spirit and knowledge of her skills and life in general. He had the oppertunity of a private discussion with the maiden and she has agreed to join Mythndale and help rebuild the lands about. Merrick sits and smiles a bit to himself. He is very glad she has decided to assist him, for not only does she have the true spirit of a great warrior … she is quiet beautiful. He cant help but realize that he like her company for more reasons than just her knowledge and spirit. he is very proud of her for jumpimg right in and setting up a meeting with an individual that he may not have approached on his own. After meeting with this person he is very happy they were able to come to an agreement of service as well and feels he will be a great asset to mythndale and many ways even though he might be considered a very strange choice. Merrick leans back and drifts off into thought, he is extremely happy over the happenings in the last couple days. Grim has made some armor which the Mythndale Guard shall where and is getting ready to distribute it out and get the Guard up and functioning. A new “Manor” was built and even though things are still getting finalized and decorated… he feels good about all that is happening. … One thing he still cant help but notice is how his thoughts always end up back on the shieldmaiden…..

The Island of Hjärden

Lore of Land and People

-Overview

In the middle of freezing ocean, far away from charters that is made by people who lives in so called place “the Main Land”, there was strong and traditional people of Hjärden, living in a large volcanic island, who were battling against harsh conditions of island and strict standards of the society.

Life was hard because of many elements, most strongest among them was cold weather during Ninth Winters but people of Hjärden was living rich and beautiful life when this hard life of theirs compared to lives of other people in known world.

Island was filled with tough forests, swamps and grasslands with rich soil. It was habbitated by almost 600 people. There were two major cities and many villages who were concentrated on fishing or farming. Do not let the word “major” trick you, since most of the population were spending their time in country side, far away from land of well- planned structures.

Just like any other country or soverieng, the politics of Hjärden was always taking a place in daily life. It was actually in a certain limit where the seperation of political views were effecting casual life of Freemen deeply. And also since the land was being ruled with Constitutional Monarchy, where the Monarch is more than a symbolic figure and almost center of three statues of the sovereing, there were big distinction between views of people.

But people of Hjärden was united and strong, no matter different views they had. When there was trouble, they always unite together and create an ace against the source of problem.

People of Hjärden were tall and thanks to the hard weather of the land the body shape of the folk was fit than any human being in Known World. Because of the limited genetic pool, there was no presence of dark colors within people of Hjärden, only colors that coul be found was blonde, red and orange for hair while blue and green, and even sometimes violet in special conditions.

Folklore and traditions was taking a great place within men of Hjärden. There were alot of different beliefs like variety of their religions, gods and goddess, totems and hexed symbols. But most important were, the place of Wolf-Riders and the people with Violet eyes, who were accepted as noble blood within society.

Hjärden men were calling Wolf-Riders as “Hunthgradenl” which is direct translation to “the One that can handle the Wolf”, these men were believed as great warriors and had great respect among people, specially from people in country side since according to belief of countrymen, Huntgradenl are always scouting around their farms and houses, to protect them against people of shadow the Rotthakeridaan.

Note: I have blended my folk-lore with this story and put some ideas inside while taking the server lore in consideration Since I believe that it may be hard to understand the story I wanted to add a section where I clarify some words. Main-Land is where the story of Server is going on, existence is known by Hjärdenngers but nobody knows where Hjärden is. Rotthakeridaan are basically Drows with more bruteish shape, they are not intelligent like their cousins in Main-Land since they are really primitive, it is result of overhelming power of Hjärdenngers, they usually live in the complex cave system below the island, which have been created thanks to the volcanic activity. Other than critters of forests and swamps, fight between Rotthakeridaan and Hjärdennger is in really high peak. Some hate them while other believes that they do what they have to do to survive.
