General Announcements

EM Drosselmeyer Turns Three- (Here’s to another 3 years of his Insanity *drinks*)
Dross you are close to 3 years with the program and for all the time you have given Chessy and all you have done for UO I now don you with a black robe.

We’ll Cross That Bridge… (Event Postponed)
The event that was going to be held tomorrow night “We’ll cross that bridge” will be held at a later date in May. Unfortunately there were some unforeseen technical difficulties And Dross ate the cookies that were supposed to be for the builders, so we are having to move the event. Fear not though! For we shall Cross That Bridge….when it comes!

EM Events List- (May Calendar)
Our full event Calendar for the Month of May will be posted this week Also to better help people catch up with the ongoing story arc we will do as we did with the Poseidon’s Fury event And give a “story so far” post on the EM Forums. Hopefully this will allow people to better keep track of what’s going on. We, as in all the EMs, are heavily vested in the arc itself And are really excited to see the next chapters come to life. Now is the time when things should really start getting interesting. So if you’ve been following along the whole time, you’re in for a treat.

Cleanup and Catalog- (XY&Z= 3.14)
During May we have a month long event Cleanup and Catalog. We’ve done lots of events here on Chesapeake, and I know that many of you enjoy parts that are left over as things you can revisit and review. However, there’s also lots of useless things, for instance, all the deeds with chat channel information on them. So for spring cleaning, we’re giving you all the opportunity to help And the top three catalogers with the most event detritus found will be rewarded. If you find any of these (and not in Ilshenar) please mark runes for us. If you use the enhanced client, UOAssist, or one of the approved mapping software you can forego runes and just append XYZ coordinates to your list along with what facet.

Outside of that, we’ll also be trying something new. I’d like to clarify that we’re not going on a sweep and destroy mission here, that’s why the catalog portion is in the title. If players wish to write a short bit about what took place we can definitely look into having them at the sites. And as I mentioned in the brief explanation the main thing we are looking to do is reduce clutter and excess that may lead people…off their proper paths.

General Announcements

Spring Cleaning- (Beating the dust out of  our EMs with a Cavorting Club)
We are working up for a month long event of sorts next month. This will involve players helping us to locate various quest related items left behind by us, and no longer have any relevance or use anymore. We will not be indiscriminately removing everything, those things with importance to long lasting storylines or that have importance to Chesapeake will of course be left as is and we will make notes to keep them preserved as well.

We aren’t looking to cleanse and purge here but we do need to tidy up things that no longer have any purpose like the chat channel reminders or things that can be misleading, or are apart to something no longer accessible. More details will be available next month but if you want to get a quick head start, feel free to.

 

Healer’s Guild Admission- ( Township Healer Tents)
Construction is slated to begin in May. We were planning to provide an early May opportunity for those to finish who have started then we can build them.

The Awakening – Act III (Spoiler)

April 15, 2012 By: Lord Gareth Category: Ethereal Void Imperium

The Awakening – Act III
(Spoiler)
A BIG SPECIAL THANKS to Lady Falbala [DWxC] for taking the time to explain the event, CaT the Pathfinder for
obtaining the Exotic Tinker Tools, and “Janitor” Pooper [UFO] for spending hours down there with us and showing the short cuts.

[IMG]

To get started on Act III of the Global event head to the Salty Dog Saloon in East Britain,
in the basement you will find a box labeled”A Box Of Loot Recovered From Castle Blackthorn”
(if you need a rune there is one on the steps of the H-J Rune Library in Kijustsu Anei Village

If the rune is blocked 2 more runes are ocated in the Crafters Hall in front of the Rune Library
Double click the crate and a Treasure Map (Ilshenar) will spawn in your backpack

[IMG]

Once you double click the crate a map of Vel Lor Reg (Ilshenar) will appear in your backpack.
Follow the map to the N-W corner of the city *The map will disappear within 60 seconds of double clicking the Create.*
The fastest way to Vel Lor Reg is by using a Crystal Teleporter and saying “Ilshenar Mint”

[IMG]

Double click the rope located on the roof
In the dungeon kill Exodus Minions to obtain a Toilet Seat looking thing “Mechanical Component”
The “Mechanical Component” spawn as loot on the creatures corpse so be sure to check them

Take the “Mechanical Component” to a player with 80+ Tinkering
(To verify their skill ask them to turn on their skill title “The Tinker”)
They will be able to make it into a “Exotic Toolkit” by double clicking it
(Exotic Toolkits are hued Grey and have a timer on them at or above 600,000 Seconds)

Once you have the “Exotic Toolkit” head back to the city and use the Rope
Double click the “Exotic Toolkit” and then click the Nexus.

[IMG]

This will open a Electric Gem Puzzle which you must solve in order to obtain a “Punch Card”
Once you have completed the puzzle a “Punch Card” will appear in your backpack and
The Nexus Hue will change from Burnt Grey to Bright green, purple etc.
The Nexus will reset back to the Burnt Grey hue so it may be used again by you or another player
*Try to be courteous to other players there is no reason to take over a Nexus, it will re-spawn*

[IMG]

Take the “Punch card” to the “Key Punch Reader” (Big Grey Box) and drop the card inside.
You will have a chance to get a “Nexus Deed” which will appear inside your main backpack

(CaT, Lady Falbala and Pooper Did I miss anything?)

Township Mission Adventures

March 21, 2012 By: Lord Gareth Category: Ethereal Void Imperium

 

Township Mission Adventures, Multiple Locations – March 17-21st 2012
Imperium News Service – by Lord Gareth/Merik

This weeks Mission Adventures took us to Exotic locations within the Distant lands of Ilshenar, all the way down into the sticky  depths of the Underworld. The Townships of Kijustsu Anei, Area 51, Zedland City, and Moria Village joined forces to launch a major offensive upon some of the lands most Dangerous and Vile Creatures.

 Over the last several days the guilds Empire of Valor, Alien Beings,  The Samsonites, Shadow Hunters Empire, Strangers With Candy, Friends Seeking Halibut, and Knights of Shriad were conducting operations to raid and pillage the strongholds of Navrey Night-Eyes, Lady Melisande,  and Twaulo of the Glad.

 

 

Their primary objective was to secure and deliver Magical Artifacts from the looted out strongholds and deliver them to New Magincia, for use by the townships defense forces. The Mission and overall operation was a great success! Forces reported securing Tangles, Mana Phasing Orbs, Night Eyes, Essence, Transcendence Scrolls, and Surge Shields along with many other artifacts.

Mission Coordinators Lord Flibby, Janitor Pooper, Lady Vadinator, Eric Northman and Lord Gareth reported only minor injuries and zero causalities. They were also pleased to  report a larger number of Artifacts then original anticipated were recovered from the Strongholds and requested that additional SKS Cargo ships be dispatched to Trinsic for shipment to New Magincia.

EM Announcements

() Raiders will continue to spawn in the various Cities of Britannia keep an ear on the Town Criers for more details

() We will also be surveying the lands Chesapeake has over 20 banners built for various Townships and not nearly all of them are active anymore. So over the next few months we will be looking into those banners that have been built and are no longer supported or have otherwise been deserted will be demolished.

() People have sent us emails in the past letting us know they’ve been away for a while which is fine. The reason for this is because those Townshps that are linked to the Teleporter Hub with a banner, when new visitors to Chesapeake visit the hub and go to these townships to find them deserted it’s really not serving its purpose. We just wanted to let everyone know that over the next few months we will be looking into this

 

HoC Open Floor
(Questions, Comments, Concerns and the like)

Tamith: You know we’ve moved our town to fell and all i have to say is id appreciate it if it could be moved soon. our town is active ty that all i had. Removing town banners, by what criteria. Population of towns, availability of players is in flux. Ups and downs are part of UO.

Elder EM Dudley: I will poke Mesanna bout it again. If you email us and say hey, we’re still here just not around as much That’s fine. We’ve responded to that in the past and it’s understandable. Attending Township Events, making your Township known, holding events, Attending Hall of Commons meetings. Those sorts of things are fine and we obviously won’t remove any that fall into those criteria. We’re talking about banners that were built and we haven’t heard a peep from the Township in months. Its not fair to the community, Its not fair to the people who are active

 

Winfield: A few weeks ago you asked if townships would support a town that was having rioters and such. Our PaxLair Alliance is supporting Skara Brae, we did a news announcement and article on Stratics a bit ago, so just wanted to let you know we are doing well there, have an armada of ships there hold our weekly meetings there now. And we have at times defenses in the streets with boxes. I commend the alliance and all others coming to Skara to aid the city. Propaganda in Skara is bad at times, books saying PaxLair should be Driven out. Seems some factions inside the city are more than just rioters. Some local townsfolk and such we will keep an eye on the diplomacy there too Thanks, I’m finished.

Elder EM Dudley: We are hoping to really get things moving with the “Lord and Land” event

 

Pita Tinkles: you owes pita 7 kissies mees look for yoos all week no find yoos. yoos gibs pita kissie now?

Elder EM Dudley: You’ll have to see the Vesper Mint regarding that As they are caretakers of all kisses. It’s against the rules for EMs to give kisses while conducting Hall of Commons meetings

 

Celestial Knight: throws rotten egg @ dudley why do u allow some to speak out of turn and wait for others to type then say, or tell too to wait. The goblins type all the time you allow it

Elder EM Dudley: We’ve been doing Hall of Commons meetings this way since the beginning. It’s a lot easier if I get out the announcements then open the forum for questions. If it gets to be exceptionally disruptive I will take action

Celestial Knight: untrue statemt dudley you do and say zero to them every sunday its the same but movening on because i know whats comeing next you do not care plus its your house Boss. My banner and town of act will be moved ill try and speak with someone else other then you to have it moved ty oh yes lastnites event unfair to a few because of a bug on your all part

Elder EM Dudley: I will please ask the Goblins to take their seats And remain quiet during the open forum If you wish to request a banner be moved you can submit the request to me I will pass it along to Mesanna. Are you asking me about moving a banner or last night’s event?

Celestial Knight: 3 questions is alll i had other s tlaking who did not waned banner and the event that took place lastnite

Elder EM Dudley: As far as the banner if you want it moved you can submit the request to me. I will pass it along ot Mesanna She is the only person who can move them and there is only one of her. She is extraordinarily busy but we do our best to get things done

Elder EM Dudley: As far as the event last night the bug in question didn’t effect the outcome of the event in any way. The way the mechanic works is you don’t have to wait for anything If you deal a lot of damage or do a lot of healing You have a very good chance at getting a prize

Celestial Knight: Hmm i understand its about the story line i am with you on that but a few players wait and wait for a drop and you call it bugged with those eggshells got thier hopes up and kicked them down but its okay i am finished thx
