An LSD Prologue in the Works Lothar  Thursday, October 17, 2002 Are you one of those members who enjoys the rich history that this guild has to offer (who isn't?), and love the stories in the Charter of our past. Even if you were not around to see it happen? Well guess what... as the Subject states, a Prologue to the LSD History (meaning before Part I of the story) is currently being devised. When it will be officially finished, I do not know. Keep an eye out for the Tavern Folder in the LSD Forums in these coming weeks for it though. One last tid-bit. Its not being written by me... thats all I'm saying. ;)

News Update Timid  Tuesday, October 15, 2002 The following items have been fixed for you, the gamer: - An issue that caused large, leather Tailoring Bulk Order Deeds to yield the same rewards, no matter which type of leather, has been fixed. Players should now receive the appropriate rewards when turning in large, high-level Tailoring BODs. - An issue that caused the paints given out in Elwood's Quest to become stuck in an "in use" state has been resolved. - Blade spirits and energy vortices should now properly attack creatures within range. This is good for you tailors out there who have been devoting your time and energy into BODs and not getting the appropriate items. OSI is working on the new commodities, to make it so that depending on how many of each are sold, prices are adjusted. Good for you miners/lumberjacks out there. That's it for this time.

Another Website Update Lothar  Thursday, October 10, 2002 I've been working on this Division's website a lot the last 3 days. I'm sure you've noticed a few changes, but to let you all know the new features that are starting to appear to make this website actually fully finished, here they are... 1. Divisional Leaders Personal Pages - (the ones with light blue names are the ones already done). 2. Contact Us Page done - (located to the left of this post). 3. Units Page half-done - (The SS, SR, and DE Pages are now active. The OS, RG, SG, and DC pages I will be working on later tonight, and through till tomorrow). 4. Added the Napa Valley Logo - (If you scroll over the picture, you'll see a link to our uo.com listing) . 5. Frames cleaned up - (I've removed the Members Section, as well as corrected our Allies listings) . 6. Fixed broken links - (There were a few broken links to that I came across while updating the page) . Additionally if you find any more broken links (besides the unfinished Unit Pages) please let me know, thank you. One final note, We have a new News Poster here for the UO Division, Timid! Please check out his first post underneath this one. ~Loth

News Update Timid  Thursday, October 10, 2002 OSI-sponsored Tournament of Champions Update! Everyone’s talking about the Tournament of Champions, and to help players keep track of the latest information on this upcoming OSI-sponsored series of “fight nights,” we’ve given it it’s very own Web page, and you can find that page here. Included in this page are some small, additional rules clarifications. For your convenience, here are those specific updates: Oceania is now included as a participating shard! Oceania’s scheduled day is Monday, Nov. 18th, at 4:00pm CST (10:00pm GMT/UTC). [The omission of Oceania was an oversight, and we’re happy to include our shard down under in the activities.] Red/Murderer characters may not participate in these fights, as Jhelom is a guarded zone. [We’ve certainly got nothing against Reds, but we needed players with Red characters to realize before even signing up that fighting within a city will be prohibitive to them. However, please keep in mind that there’s still more than a week before the tournament begins so some of you may have the opportunity to successfully work off your murder counts in time!] No more than 12 potions of any kind can be brought into or used during a fight. No magic items other than the potions listed above will be allowed (including weapons, armor, clothing, glacial staves, firehorns, blessed items, etc.). Players are not allowed to "buff" themselves (improve their Stats through the use of spells, skills, potions, etc.) before a fight. Buffing may occur, however, once the fight begins and any time during the fight. If a player leaves the arena area, he or she will be disqualified. As only so many players can participate, open spots in the tournament registration is limited. Players will be allowed to register up to Saturday, October 19th CDT, as open tournament slots allow. Also, the Solen scenario will be ending shortly. Thank you.
