Hey all.

My name is Punkte, the owner of UO Shadow Age.

Some backstory of where we are currently:
We are a fairly new server, launched on December 20th.
When we launched, we amassed a large following and went up to 200 players pretty quickly.
Since then, we've had some issues with the current RunUO2.5 core not being able to support that many players.
For the last 2 months we've been working on fixing the core instead of reverting back to a knowingly working 2.2 RunUO, and that is finished.
We're about ready to launch the new core to the players with added content, in which case we will begin advertising again, and hopefully build back up to 200+ players.



We're currently looking for:

Developer
-Must be very knowledgeable with RunUO and UO. We already have a team of 4, but want to focus our main developer into all web development related things (as that's his specialty).
-Must also have knowledge using BitBucket and having knowledge of JIRA is a plus as well.
-Will be working on in game bug fixes and custom content development, along with another Dev.

Event Moderator
-Looking for an EM that specializes in creating very cool and/or themed PvE events as well as setting up PvP tournaments, as well as setting up unique and "Rare" spawning items including dailys, weeklys, bi-weeklys, and monthly spawns.

Decorator
-Looking for someone who enjoys creating aesthetically pleasing and detailed decorations. This will include building things like Arenas, Casino, and some custom Decorations all around Britannia.

We take this server very seriously and are looking to become a top AOS freeshard, and because of which, we already have in place truly unique and economic recurring gold/item sinks to ensure a long lasting and economically stable server.

What we need now is an increase of attention to players, an aesthetically pleasing world, and dedicated developers as we are working on releasing the new core as UO Shadow Age: Reborn that comes with a bunch of content, a new fixed core, and a brand new website that we are almost done with.

These positions can potentially be turned into paid positions as well, depending on the amount of experience and time dedicated.

We are trying to move our main developer into solely web development, so he can work on the webpage and a bunch of statistics and leaderboards to connect to the server, as well as some apps that players can use as well.

If you are interested, please PM me here or skype me @ AlexLio923

Here's an image of what our website will look like when its done, which should hopefully be by this weekend.

( Dont mind the WOW leaderboards, those were just a filler when designing =] )

Looking forward to hearing from some people,

I have cleaned up this post, please keep it on topic and non personal.

Those who want to discuss the merits of making money using UO emulation are welcome to open their own thread and continue that conversation there.
 
We have filled all roles besides still needing one active developer for the server.
Everything is shaping up and we're just about ready to launch our updated content core to the public, and start mass marketing again, hopefully, getting back to the 200 players we had before.

The developer position is a PAID position for those who which to fill it. We are looking for people who will commit to the server, and be a member in the community as well. Posting on forums, staying on IRC and talking to players if they need help, as well as updating the community when changes happen, via posts, irc, etc.

We do try to make the Dev process as easy as possible with Repo and use of pull requests when goign to merge code, and also a JIRA that the devs will be able to assign the issues to themselves and complete them and pull request the fixed changes or new content. This definitely helps make the process much quicker, organized, and without needing the coders to be 100% involved in the UO community.

1 Dev spot is available, PM me if you'd like to fill the position.

Thanks!
