I just downloaded the avatar patch which contains new art, which means I get to script some cool lookin weapons! YAY! I also made new art for shrouds, these don't look like Death puked on the floor. Here's a pic of what the new shrouds/hooded robes/thieves robes will look like:
Cool huh? Yeah, I know....I'm good. :)
Welp, that's it for now! See ya in the shard!

We're BACK!! And it's time to start anew. I'm going to use the old server, but I feel a bit rusty w/ all the scripts/commands/etc. , so I'm just gonna keep it basic for a while. So if you see things you like, please e-mail me at z3r0q001@hotmail.com and lemme know what you like about the old shard and I'll impliment it into this one. I hope I can see some of you old-timers that played on my shard previously...if you HAVE played on my shard previously, please let me know either in-game or via e-mail. It's good to be back! But nowadays I have a job, so MY personal support will be limited. I WILL be looking to hire people as GM's and POSSIBLY Admins, so hit me w/ your best shot ;) . If you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to ask in-game or e-mail, but I swear....If I get a bunch of little pricks who ask continuously to be Admin or GM (in-game) then I will ban you...remember, the rules all still apply (visit the rules section for a list of them, their aren't too many, so don't be discouraged). Welp, I think that's all for now! Thanks! and HAVE FUN!!!

Dunno if anyone even remembers us but here goes nothin'......Welp, turns out that the friend of mine, in the last post DID suck....=( He stopped hosting the shard after about a week...Sorry I haven't kept you all posted. I've been awful busy and stressed out, I got laid off, blah blah blah....anyhow, I'm going to get to move back in with my mom soon! Which means THE SHARD WILL BE ABLE TO BE RESSURECTED!!!!! HOORAY! The reason for that is, I will no longer be stuck behind a proxy/firewall or any other crap like that! wOOt! This also means that I will be needing some help! So, if anyone is still checkin' back on this, then gimme an e-mail at Z3R0Q001@hotmail.com (yes, GM_Avoozl@hotmail.com IS still up, but the other is my most frequently checked). So, if you can manage to get me an e-mail before the shard is actually re-advertised in UOGateway, then that'll be one huge foot in the door for ya! =) Okay, well I hope to hear from someone, but for now, this is it!

The shard is being hosted by a friend of mine for the time being. He's got some great ideas for the shard including custom ores! and he doesn't suck!! So, have fun! .....That's all for now. =)

The shard has to go offline for a day or possibly two, starting tonite. It will be back up in a few days, so don't worry, we're not leaving. It has to go down becuase I'm moving IRL, so I hope to have it up as soon as possible! Sorry!

We are VERY close to having the racestone's bugs worked out, and we have also decided that we are going to make a custom map!! We are very excited about this, we hope you are too!! It may take a while, since we haven't mapped before, but it's something for you all to look forward to!
August 5, 2003
We are currently working on creating 'native lands' for all the races. This may take a week or two, but don't be discouraged! The second the lands are ready players will be able to become a race!
We are looking for people to become a "Lord/Lady" of each race. A total of eight people will be placed in these positions. They will be responsible for informing players, of their race, of events and news pertaining to their specific race. They shall also be the 'go to guy/gal' of their race, meaning players will go to them about questions relating to their race before they contact a staff member. Lords and Ladies will know most eveything about their race, and therefore they should be able to help the players of their race with any questions that they may have. If you are intrested in filling one of these roles please email me at GM_Avoozl@hotmail.com with your character name, what race you would like to be the Lord/Lady of, and the reason you wish to fulfill this role! We will be accepting emails reguarding this until August 15th. After that day we will choose those who will be filling these roles and get back to you asap.
P.S. These positions involve a dedication to the shard, don't apply if you are on the shard less than 4 days a week, or less than 8 hours a week. Thank you!!

We have instituted RACES!! And we are in the process of making it easier for you to become part of one!! This is just the beginning of the race system, there are soon to be towns/guilds/wars!! Be sure to check out the races page for more info!
Remember, the more players we have, the more fun it is for all!! So get some old friends, and invite them to join the shard!!
Also, due to popular demand, we are in the process of making a supply/skills room, so keep an eye out for it!! There will most likely be a gate to it in the gateroom! =D
Have fun!!

The time has finally come...the shard is no longer a Test Center!!! The shard may be down for a little while, (I'm not talkin' weeks or anything...so don't forget about us!).
Upon new character creation, players will be able to set their skills/stats to 80 in the skills/stats of their choice! Also, skill is very easy to gain, so don't panic *wink* *wink*. =P So, all of you who have registered for the Beta-Tester reward page a member of our staff and you'll...uhm...well....you'll, get a reward!!
Sadly, we've had to resort to turning off Auto-Account creation...=( It was just too hard having to deal with people who would make accounts just for to try to become staff. Also we got tired of senseless PKers, who would merely make characters to grief our long-playing/dependable players. Their bloodlust is not welcome here in ALB. We hope this does not affect your decision to play here...as it is for YOUR benefit! =)

Okay, so the new dungeon is taking longer than expected...It's coming along quite nicely though! We have scripted in quite a few NEW items, and creatures!! Look forward to it!! It'll be BIG when it comes out, so DON'T miss it!
July 12, 2003
MORE HUES!!! wOOt!! Also, more monsters spawn tokens as loot! Not just dragon-types anymore! So, GET OUT OF DESTARD!! You're making the dragons claustrophobic...sheesh! And, tokens are now more difficult to get. You MAY get the special hues!! But, it'll cost ya! Check out the Prize Room!!!
July 7, 2003
First patch!! This patch includes MANY new customized hues! Admin_Armand has been working on these hues for a few days, and he came up with some really awesome ones! These are not available to players yet, however we will more than likely be adding them to the rewards! Look forward to seeing a VERY colorful world!!
Be prepared for a NEW DUNGEON!! This dungeon will be intended for newbies (once we progress out of testing phases) and will include different levels for more experienced, and higher skilled players!
Do not worry, when we are out of testing phases, skill gain will be easier than on OSI shards, and you will be able to set your skills to a certain level upon character creation, (possibly even afterwards!).

Website is now UP!!! If you have any experience in making webpages, as you can see, I don't. =( Please e-mail me at gm_avoozl@hotmail.com . But, until I manage to get an experienced html-er, what you see is what you get! I hope you enjoy the shard better than you enjoy this page!
