We are excited for the first TC1 release of the Time of Legends! This is only part one of what you can expect to see in Pub 90 and can expect to see part two in the next week. Make sure you patch your client before testing anything on TC1. We look forward to seeing you on TC1, if you have any feedback please send it to uo@broadsword.com. We will be pushing this tonight so expect TC1 to go down for a short period of time.


Please remember this client is not manditory as of yet, but if you wish to check out all the new and exciting features please make sure you patch up completely.

Any word on when it goes live on the main shards? I can't wait to try out the doors on my keep. I would love to get access to that open space

well good News the doors look good on the Keep's opening, the bad news is they not going to allow us access to the open area within the keep's walls. You would think they could change one wall to a secret door, but NO it seems they cannot.
