Good News & Bad News about Chesapeake & the Latest Patch
Two related notations about Cheapeake and the latest patch, which included some "dormant" Vet rewards goodies. First, the good news, originally posted to the FYI page on the Ultima Online Web site:Chesapeake Publish UpdateThe, the following three notices were posted soon after to the Shard Issues page.
We have published the changes listed in Testing for Next Update to the Chesapeake shard, and the shard will be brought down for a brief maintenance at 12:00 pm CDT, allowing these changes to take effect. We will update further as to the publish schedule for the remaining shards, and the changes will be added to Latest Game Updates once the publish is active on all shards.
Bad news post number 1:
Chesapeake ShardPost number 2, teasing us:
The Chesapeake shard will be brought internal to investigate issues regarding the publish released earlier today (June 28th). We will be working to bring it back up as soon as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Chesapeake ReturnsAnd post number 3, the kicker:
The Chesapeake Shard has returned to service and is now available. We apologize for the inconvenience this interruption may have caused.
Chesapeake Being Reverted
Due to an issue with the publish interfering with the event-related data on the Chesapeake shard, the shard was brought down at approximately 3:00 pm CDT. The shard is being brought back up now, and will be reverted to approximately 11:30 am CDT. We regret this necessity, and we will work diligently to see that all issues are resolved as soon as possible. We will update as to the publish schedule when we are confident the system is working optimally.
