Hello Arcadius,
Just a friendly tip, People that working on UO does have different experience, interests, and visions. You really have to explain what your goal is with the shard. What era are you targeting? What client did plan to use? What systems (are you looking for a custom made or an OSI clone) you plan to use? Do you have a server for the shard, is it already up and running in an unfinished mode? List some features you wish to have. What is your experience of UO, maybe a bit about yourself related to UO? Do you have any experience of coding, graphics and/or client modifications, what role did you plan to take in the project?
This would help people to decide if they wish to join your project.

My friend,
I stand here frozen in the Ether. Under the spell of the bastard sorcerer
who has risen again.
You know him as Mondain.
Every curse and every vile being he has unleashed again upon my dear Brittania.
Mondain exists in the ether but can only be killed in the physical.
Of the million shards that formed, this shard he calls his home. He calls the land Guardia.
You must collect the 5 body parts of Mondain's body, scattered over all of Brittania…
and the outlying lands
Find the crystal of llumination, take the body parts and crystal to the Temple of
Illumination and use the crystal.
With the Crystal and slay him. Burn his body with his soul bound to the crystal
and he shall never again revive
Good luck traveler,
Let the Virtues protect thee.
I am targeting the era of past, single player, Ultima games although we are definitely not discouraging multi player (it is an mmo). We use a custom modified client. We have a server although it isn't on all the time right now and the shard itself isn't 'complete.We have a lot of modifications, including a lot of familiar ones from this site. Some of the cooler ones (I think) are a druid magic system, blue magic system, level system, the diablo socket system, and dozens others. I've built up several cities using UO architect. I also have a flying carpet and flying mounts that I'm tweaking to make them work with different maps like Malas where the z coordinate is different and keeping them from going into certain areas like the black space and the star space in Malas. I know it will be a lot of work but I also would like to use the airship code to build a ferry similar to WoW.
I've been playing UO since it first came out, although I didn't get into any of the emulation until a few years ago. .Ultima has been one of my favorite franchises for years and the chance to build on it thrills me.
As for coding experience, I start coding in Basic in the early nineties, C/C++ in 2000, Java in 205, C# in 2010, and miscellaneous languages such as python as well. I've been scripting in C# and UO for about three years now., I have experience in UO Architect and Pandoras Box for about three years, and I am just getting into CentrED+ and UO Fiddler. I really want to start getting into the actual ServUO code and maybe even make a patch for the shard to add a new facet to the game.
That's about it. So, pm me if you are interested. I could use the help the most with graphics but coders are welcome.

Well he wanted more background so I figured I'd give him the whole lot of it.
I actually wasn't being sarcastic, although it would have made for a funny joke.Well he wanted more background so I figured I'd give him the whole lot of it.
Oh ok. Well. It would have been a funny joke.
Hard to say. I took a long break and started up again. How do you measure that? I have a lot of stuff I want to do. Like right now I'm working on replacing Felucca with a custom map. I have a lot of scripts...hundred or so maybe? I guess I am very far along content-wise but nobody is playing, I haven't really reached out to people to join. Its been mostly my pet project.
I understand your point lol. I thought I was more than half done with my project at a time, only to realize I was wayyy off hehe.
That said, I was more or less wondering if it was a fairly new project, or one that's closer to completion.
[doublepost=1551080947][/doublepost]What expansion mechanics are you looking to implement btw?
Expansion Mechanics? If I understand you right, one thing would be to implement more quests. I'm really lacking in that department. I only have a few seasonal quests. I would like to add more custom graphics. I have a one major overall quest I would like to script. I'm more a programmer than an artist albeit I am more a writer than an artist as well.I have 6 or 7 small dungeons that need decorated. A couple towns that need patched up. Some scripts that are broken and need to be fixed, and some scripts that I'd like to implement but just haven't had the chance. I'm really excited about working with tools I haven't worked with before like Dragon. My favorite thing to do so far is build cities and map making.
Very Interesting.
