RunUO Status, and Beta 11 Release!

Hello All!!!

Welcome to the latest update, and what is rumored to be RunUO's last BETA release in favor of the first 1.0 Release Candidate! The highly anticipated Beta 11 is out the door, with a change log of over 100 changes! RunUO is already being classified as one of the "Big 3 (POL, SPHERE, and RunUO)" on a lot of message boards, and websites across the internet! We wanted to take this time to thank the thousands of participants that have helped make RunUO the success that it has quickly become. We have a lot of upcoming events to tell you about.

Scott Barber from UOXperience (The DMBDev network) will be conducting an interview with someone from the RunUO Team. Scott is pretty impressed by RunUO.s fast development cycle, and ease of use. A direct quote from his website (www.uoxperience.com) "RunUO is a game server designed for people to play Ultima Online in there own way, with their friends, and not pay per month to do so. Pulling UO servers out of the dark ages ;).", pretty much says it all! Thanks for those kind words Scott!

As some of you may have heard, Dian a RunUO community member has been working closely with The RunUO Team, to create a custom map for our shard. This map has actually been previewed in the .Test Center. forum on the website! For those of you that are still in the dark ages, using UO Rice or Ignition, it is time to get up to the speed of things, and use our favorite server login utility, UO Gateway, which can be found at www.uogateway.com (created by Mr. Fixit). We have also moved our shard, to a new host provided by Ryan Thompson, the previous host of the shard Santiago. He has graciously donated us complete access to his server in order to help expedite the development of RunUO! Thanks very much Ryan!!

I would also like to take this time to thank some outstanding members of the Test Center server, who have put in countless hours of game time to help us get RunUO to the point its at. They are:

Tom Green
Triple H
Counselor Robin
Counselor Vin
Duke Dastardly
Kiwi
GM Rainman
GM Alkiser
Arrow Inyerarse
and many more.

All of you are keeping us moving forward, and we can.t thank you guys enough!

Thanks for all of your support and we look forward to a successful 1.0!!!
