Shazzy's Shard 12th Anniversary

Shazzy's Shard - Est. April 2004

Our Anniversary is right around the corner!
I will try to put some special outtings together, and perhaps a good time to do some champion spawns, and the Harrower!

There will be gifts and goodies, so spread the word!
Tell your friends to come join us on a wonderful, fun, free, server!
With the best players around!

See you in game and at the party!

The NEW Dragon

Ok...
We have the body of the Order Dragon that we are going to use for our new dragon.
The Greater Dragon is called GREATER for a reason, so we need to think of some ideas for the new pet and keeping it in line with what we have out there.

New Unnamed Dragon

 

 

 

So we need to have:

1. Stats
2. Resists
3. Skills
4. Abilities(?)
5. Breath Color
6. And a WONDERFUL name to package the whole thing up!

Let's hear those ideas so we can have him in for our Anniversary Party!

See you in game!

New Dragon????

I put a poll on the forum asking if you want a new dragon or want the body of the Greaters to be changed.
So far it is a tie.
This also kind of pertains to hunters. What would you like to see on this dead dragons corpse??

I want to add the bad evil dragon back on the sands of Ilshnar and will have to find the post for that event.
I will have to get the spawns off the old server.

I have another update going in soon.
Paladin swords are going to be craftable, and a few others of our past are going to be added to the crafts list.
Anyway...
TO DRAGON or NOT TO DRAGON!
That is the QUESTION!

See you in game!

Suggestions and Ideas!

As a reminder, we are very open to suggestions of what you would like to see added to the server.

I am making Paladin Swords craftable per a request from one of our players!

So, Quets, NPC, Features, whatever you have in mind let me know and I will work on it.
Remember, we always want to keep Shazzy's a balanced server :)

Look forward to seeing you in game!

Customs - OH you know you love them!

Well it was a spawn-a-rama!
There are all kinds of new stuff out there.

Lots of little things this morning....and Champion Spawns

Well Cosmo and Fubar are color corrected - thank Kyler for noticing, I though I was the only one.

Friday Funday!

I just LOVE Fridays!

So, as a sort of new little treat, I have started doing some "Friday Fundays".
This is a totally random, never can tell what ya might get, on the fly gift giving, just for those who login during the time it runs.

The general timeframe it runs is from whenever I get home from work, relax, and let my pee brain come up with a gift to whenever I get up in the morning and finish messing around with updates/stuff and turn it off.

But we have had some really nice gifts - from a crazy GOOD robe on Valentines to a silver serving platter to a cure carpet addon...as I said you just NEVER know with me.

So spread the word!

FRIDAY FUNDAY:  ONLY HERE ON SHAZZY'S SHARD!

See you in game!

March Madness

*This would be the non basketball type*

So, as we closed out February with many updates to the base content to be UO accurate, we also added several new craftables and NPC's.

Carpenters have several new containers they can make: a regal case, wooden bookshelf(change graphic when items are placed inside), full bookshelf, alchemists bookcase. Also added back in the grandfather clocks to the crafting list.
Tinkers can now make the wall safe. You can access your bank with this item.
Tailors can make several new kilts, a flowered dress, hooded fancy robe, jester shoes, chef hat, evening gown - for those fashionable days of mining in Minoc, you should dress to the nines! Also added goggles, leather armor taking the hat spot and using the glasses artwork.

A few crafts were brought back. Players can now take care of bee hives like before, using plants and potions to keep their colony happy.
Driftwood and Toy crafting are back. A nice little addition to make some deco for your home.

Fishing was updated to use our older release with some new fish that can be caught, filleted and cooked. A special taxidermy kit will be available that places the players name, date, time and weight of fish on the trophy. I will work to add some of the new trophies to the kit, like lobster and crab.

Champion Spawns have been set to work with our player base. The number of creatures spawned and the amount needed to advance the spawn are reduced from 1/2 to 1/4 depending on the spawn, so enjoy!

A couple of very helpful commands were also added for players - bandself and stablecount(to show how many pets you have and how many you can have)

Along with all this, I am working diligently to get all the custom NPCs spawned and  our quests in.

Morduin - the Trammel to Felucca's Khaldun - has been opened and contains all the NPCs needed for the Book of Truth Quests that are located in the Lycaneum in Moonglow.
** Please note, you can only accept one Book of Truth quest at a time, since you are going to turn in the same items for all three. Sp, please, just one quest at a time!

Lord Blackthorns, Castle dungeon has been revamped with some of our favorite customs and the special artificers that drop an abundance of rare items that work together as a set for players. You should definately check this area out. Go slow and you should be ok. Better yet, take a buddie and wipe out the whole area!

There is a lot more to come and we are getting there little by little! I will concentrate on server updates over the weekend when I have more time and remember....

WE TAKE SUGGESTIONS! :]

Ova and I would also like to welcome back some of our longtime players and several new to Shazzy's!
We hope you have fun and enjoy your play time here.

Have a great weekend,

See you in game!
