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

Orcish Hordes Launch Assaults Into Central Kijustsu Anei Village

February 28, 2012 By: Lord Gareth Category: Ethereal Void Imperium, UO Towns & Guild News


Orcish Hordes Launch Assaults Into Central Kijustsu Anei Village
Saturday, February 25th 2012 By: Merik

After defeating the Orcish Armada off the coast of Homare-Jima a few nights ago. The inhabitants and patrol guards were given a well-deserved break to celebrate their latest victory and enjoy all the wonderful spoils the Island had to offer.

With Lemony drinks in hand many enjoyed gambling away their weekly pay on a good Cat fight, while some of our more extreme thrill seekers gambled with their very lives for a chance to prove their great Ninjutsu skills by stealthing into Niva’s Hunting Lodge undetected and swiping a jar of her tribes paint….but they weren’t the only ones moving about the area undetected….

Orc Scout Captain

…behind the valorite ore rich mountains North-West of the Village, Orcish transport vessels had just completed their final drop. Only a few Patrol Guards remained on duty to escort Gareth the Mage and Janitor Pooper to the Temporary Guard Headquarters located inside the Dead CaT Clock Tower.

Ozog Giantfart was the first to sight the foul looking creatures near the Shrine of Lemony freshness. He quickly ran towards them and stopped a few feet away taking up a defensive stance which resulted in the Orcs quickly covering their mouths as they began laughing at the short and tiny weak Goblin. He may be short and his body may be tiny but he has the biggest stones around and used them to triple his size before laying waste to the small scouting party.

Meanwhile “HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!” echoed through the alleyways of the village as SKS and PITS Transport pack animals emerged from the Homare-Jima Moongate, lead by Gareth the Mage. Village Defense Leader Niva the Savage and her assistant Sinthe were charged with protection…even Gareths. The Orcs wasted no time and ambushed the group and forcing them to flee down the Lost Souls road. The Orcs had planned their ambushing locations well, forcing Gareth to take refuge in the Shrine of Lemony Freshness to keep the animals safe.

Patrol Guard Reinforcements arrived minutes before the main invasion forces occupied the the downtown area. DRECKO, Lady Viktoria, Mourning Star and Damon began slicing through Orcish forces like butter.

Retreat orders were given by the Orc Scout Captain as Lady Mourning Star slaughtered 70 Orc Scouts with only a few strikes and is to be awarded one of Kijustsu Anei Villages highest Medal of Heroism. The Patrol Guard will be continuing to protect the town and instigate the Orcish matter further,

Town of Gargouille Shallows Township Banner Constructed

Town of Gargouille Shallows Township Banner Constructed, Yew Area Felucca
February 25th 2011 Written By: Chie  Images: Merik/Gareth

The town name was named after this creature Gargouille to remind use were we come from. It is also claimed that the word “gargoyale” is derived from the name of this monster. The word shallows was used for being a small part of the Gargoyale race stretching from Ter Mur. So we call the town Gargouille Shallows.

Being from the Royal City of Ter Mur and living a refugee’s life was not good. Many of us were packed into the camps with really no place to call home. We knew it was time to leave and search for a home. The trail would be hard but in the end a place to call home would be worth the struggles. We started out as a small group of lost Gargoyles befriending a few Humans and Elves on the way. Passing through many regions we found a long abandoned town Duir of Yew. Started to make are home there we found out why it was abandoned so long ago. There are many groups of evil factions which take pleasure in raiding and killing all who stand in their way. It is our home now and we will not leave for any reason. We have traveled long and endured many obstacles to find a place we called home. Now is the time to stand together and fight for our new home.

USS Victory Defeated by Mage and Janitor

February 25, 2012 By: Lord Gareth Category: Ethereal Void Imperium, UO Towns & Guild News

USS Victory Defeated! Cove Orc Fort
Thursday, February 23, 2012 By Merik/Gareth

The famous fishermen Lord Bishop E*V from the City of Kijustsu Anei Village found his vessel at the mercy of the USS Victory (Owner Unknown) and unable to maneuver around the perfectly positioned ship for a number of weeks, thus preventing him and his crew from enjoying fishing on the High Seas and delivering fishmonger orders on time.

Along side the E*V and in the same predicament was the Lady Rose UFO Fleet vessel from the Township of Area 51. Both ships were left with only a few options and one was unacceptable to them, and that was allowing the USS Victory to force them to cancel their current Fishmonger Quests and damage their standing.

Gareth the Mage and Janitor Pooper were contacted to assess the situation and determine if anything could be done. Gareth the Mage smiled at the crew of the E*V and ordered the Janitor to make the E*V and UFO Vessels shine for they would be departing into open water soon.

Later that night after the ships were given a good scrubbing…..twice Gareth the Mage returned and this time with the “Olmecian Cyclone of Tides” in his hand. With one quick flick of the wrist the USS Victory was tossed to the side like a toy boat, allowing the E*V and UFO vessel to depart and continue on their Fishmongering ways.

Treasure Map Library Beta Testing & Updates

February 22, 2012 By: Lord Gareth Category: Ethereal Void Imperium, UO Towns & Guild News

Last year we tossed around the idea of Revamping the Treasure Map system but it was put on hold for various other projects. Over the last few weeks Lestat, WildStar, Shadefox of Europa and I have been working on completing the project in coordination with Kijustsu Anei, Area 51 and Moria Village. We are just about ready to give it a test run in Tokuno, Malas and Ter’Mur.

The new system is being created by dividing up the land masses into sections and randomly marking runes within each of these sections to cut down on travel time. Obviously you wont need it if the Treasure map is right outside of the Luna gate but for other locations it may be helpful.

The system is free to use and we hope that Treasure Hunters from Chesapeake will help us do some internal shard testing before we release for general testing to RP groups on the Baja, Europa and Atlantic shards. The Runebooks are located at the H-J Rune library on the first floor of the Community teleport hub, we look forward to your feedback and suggestions for those willing to help.
