Cort Malic has requested help in developing armor for the Royal Britannian Guard. The details were found in a book in the Guard Offices:
"The time has come for the Royal Guard to be properly dressed. I am calling upon the master craftsman of our lands to design a proper uniform. The uniform should contain at least a full suit of armor and the Royal Guard sash should be visible over the top. Extra cloths or caps are optional. All pieces should be handcrafted; no artifacts or special armor pieces should be included. The suit can contain gauntlets, however I will not wear them.
Weapons and shields should not be part of the uniform. Other than that, the uniform design is up to the craftsmen.
On the first day of the week, after the supper meal (Sunday 4:30 CST) the completed designs should be presented at the Castle. The designers should be wearing the completed design"
That's tomorrow afternoon --- so any smiths or tailors interested in heeding this call had best get to work today!

Throughout April, every shard supported by the Event Moderator team (the North America, European, and Australian regions) will be host to live, in-game events, each with its own unique fiction. Some of our team have crafted intricate murder mysteries, others have designed elaborate treasure hunts, and there’s even the traditional vicious attacks on friendly villages that some of you will have to fend off!

Ultima Online Expansion Codename-Title Needed...^top
Perhaps you can help. We need a good internal codename. Some developer who will remain as yet unnamed (and probably without having had their morning coffee) suggested "Asian Invasion." I've rejected this suggestion for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that as an acronymn, it perhaps promises too much...
I'm sure one of you can do better. All entries will be judged on creativity, cultural relevance (there's no such thing as Chinese Ninjas), and downright coolness. How would you like to be the person that came up with the internal codename for UO's next expansion?? Hints, think PvP, feudal japan, exploration, etc...
