Winterbreeze Library

Winterbreeze Construction - Update

2010-07-16T13:18:00.001+02:00

The Quest Library is moved into its new Building and with that i have added many new Books and Guides (Thank you Lady Ghost for all your help !)

Also the old Quest Library now features a botanic and aquaristic Library.
Once finished it will house all the Runes and information concerning plantgrowing and fishtending.
(thanks Hunter Moon for helping with the Guide :) )
I will also errect some vendors in there selling seeds and some other stuff.

I hope it will all turn out as grand as planned, sadly due to RL renovations it will take a bit longer then i had planned.

Thanks in advance

New Quest Library!

2010-07-02T10:00:00.001+02:00

As some may have noticed, I moved the Quest Library.
It is now located behind the Main Library in the new Building.

Sorry for any inconvinience this may cause, but frankly... I was out of room in the little Building and couldn't add anymore Runebooks.

The previous Quest Library will become our newest addition , a fun little Botanical Library.

Thanks for your understanding :)

Village will be growing !!!

2010-06-23T14:41:00.001+02:00

The Questlibrary will be relocationg to the medium house behind the Large Library and the current Questlibrary, since we are allmost out of Lockdowns there.

Sorry for any inconvinience this may cause

Friday night, we finally got the Townstone for Zento :)

here is a picture

Felucca T-Map Runes undergoing Maintenance

2010-05-11T09:40:00.002+02:00

I am checking all the T-Map Runes for Felucca and will be adding a Stratics-UOAutomap Set for Felucca to match the Trammelset I have done.

As I am checking and remarking runes they may be unavailable for a short period of time.
Sorry for any inconvinience this may cause.

New Fame Books

2010-05-10T20:26:00.002+02:00

First I would like to take a minute and mourn the many deaths Andrasta died marking us these runes....

...oki there....

Now I would like to share with you the awesome fame set we came up with :)

there are out on the floor now !

New Skill Guides

2010-05-02T09:43:00.002+02:00

All done :)

Its been a hard couple of weeks , but here they are.
An all new skill Guides set.

I tried to create the runebooks without as much explanation as possible.
They should be easy to use and self explantetory tp the most part.

The barding Guide does have an extra book since it was impossible to mark the runes with everything one needs to know.

hope they will do well

and good luck training :)

Skill Books Currently under Maintenance

2010-04-18T10:51:00.002+02:00

I am creating a whole new Set of Runebooks, dedicated to skill training, so the couple runebooks I had out there on the subject are unavailable for the moment.

I hope it won't be too disruptive but I did not have much out there anyways, so I hope it wont be too much of an issue.

Thanks for your patience

Officially a town !

2010-04-18T10:46:00.002+02:00

Winterbreeze Village was granted a townstone.

I logged on this morning and noticed something out of place at the bottom of my screen, so i went to check it out, and sure enough its our Townstone!

Beautifully done its sitting in front of the 2 big librarys, telling people about the Village.

I am thrilled!

Lore Museum Open

2010-04-10T22:47:00.003+02:00

The doors have finally opened,

After about 4 years of cross shard trading, research and lots of help from friends i have opened the Lore Museum.

It is located right next door to the Winterbreeze Museum in Zento.

All of it was possible thanks to some very good people, all of them proud members of the Atlantic comunity.

So my thanks go out to:

Lady Andrasta (Goodmans Library)
Ceiwyn ab'Arwan
Lady Ghost
Hunter Moon
Rillis Ironforge
Sears
Halister (Atlantic Roleplaying Comunity)
Olahorand

I will be moving the playerwritten books to the Future Lore Museum in Zento.

They will not be on Display there for a bit , until its all set up and ready for the opening.

Rune Book Woes

2009-09-03T21:11:00.002+02:00

So I am still working on replacing all the runebooks with the pretty new neon books I have gotten.

But what a pain ...

Also updated all the Lable books on the Floor, look much nicer now.

Projects for the next 3 weeks:

Finish the hot spot books
Lore Museum
SA is coming

any Voulenteers ?

Memories....

2009-08-08T16:28:00.005+02:00

Hubby and I spent the Week at a friends place in Berlin...
We met in 2003 playing Dark Age of Camelot.

I don't like pvp in ultima but DaoC was the game I loved to rvr in. I played a Cleric (Avenhar) and I had an Ice wizzy (Aalia.....what a surprise)

Unlike UO DaoC wasn't a solo game until the release of SI, each class needed each other, for eather damage, heals, protection or buffs. Crafters where highly thought after and it was hard and tedious to get to the high levels in crafting, in turn it was very rewarding.

Shrouded Isles did change the game some , but it was still balanced and fun.

Sadly DaoC turned out to be the game that was ruined by rather bad expansions.

At its peak times in 2004 we had up to 45 Minutes of log in Ques because the servers where so full, Relic Raids had 3000+ people defending and playing , lag was horrid, but it has been the funnest time.

Today Excalibur Server (the UK Main server) has a population of 4.

We keep running into our former Guildies all the time, everytime a new Online game is released they all flock to it trying to find the former glory DaoC had.

So far they have failed to find it....

I still hope for the day EA Mythink and Goa can come together and relelas the Classic DaoC no "Classic server" with the new Races and frontier, no ToA , no other expansion....just Daoc .... the way it was ment to be.

AWWWW the memories !!!!

Busy Summer

2009-06-28T13:08:00.002+02:00

Well not much is new at the Library,

I have added an ancecteral gravestone for everyone to use and of course as usual we have the Runebooks for all the ongoing stuff published.
There is one for ToT on the stairs and one for the EM Storyline, both are on display on the entrance stairs of the Library.

Andra and I have been busy with getting the Stratics Atlantic Sidebar up to date, wich has been published and is up and running for 2 weeks now.

Other then that, it's working on stratics pages...

Nothing New

2009-05-28T17:38:00.002+02:00

Well, not much is going on in Ultima Online at the Moment.
The Magincia Ghosts are still wandering the streets in the city, the monthly cheese race is doing well and Brit Bank is finally coming back to life thanks to Tomas.

Seems like everyone is waiting for the next big publish to see what the Devs have in store for us.

So its back to waiting...

Hope everyone has signed up for Beta too , I know I sure did.

Its hilarious !!!

Easter Weekend

2009-04-13T16:55:00.003+02:00

What a special Easter Weekend it was !
First we had a wonderfull outcome at the scavenger hunt and a fun Picknick after.

Lots of happy Folks and the Bonnet Hunt was a hoot.

Then when i was finally ready to log, the Easter Bunny appeared at the Library and stayed to chat.
A very polite bunny it was...

Easter Scavenger Hunt

2009-04-11T16:11:00.002+02:00

We will be holding our second anual Easter Bonnet hunt at the Britain Fairgrounds today.
The Runealliance is holding a nice little Picknick and we had Lady Rachel go crazy hiding her Bonnets again.

So come join us for the fun.

Clainin's Memorial

2009-04-07T10:35:00.004+02:00

It was a beautiful memorial. Very organized and we had little to no disruptions.
Constantine was receiving the guests and taking the many Donations of flowers.
While I stood in line for a little while I was excited to see so many of my friends, even some that I had not talked to in over 4 years *hugs Angel*.
After the memorial we were invited to Lady Morgana’s Castle and had a very nice dinner there. After all the excitement Andrasta and I headed back home. On the way we did stop back by the memorial to see if the flowers had been set out yet.
There we ran into another familiar face…Ahu, so we ended up staying a while longer to talk.

RSS Feed

2009-03-28T18:31:00.001+01:00

I added an RSS Feed to both the blog here and the Winterbreeze page.
It links to the Uo Herald Feed and will allways display the latest news

Atlantic Rune Alliance Forum online !!

2009-03-10T13:25:00.003+01:00

Well I figured since we got a blog now and a website, a forum would be next.

So after googeling around a bit and doing some research I found us a nice little forum.
I sent out invitations to all the Members of the Alliance and i spend the day tinkering around with it.

All in all I think it looks nice and i hope it will make comunication a bit easier.

Atlantic Rune Alliance Forum

Detect Hidden Training up and running

2009-03-08T19:34:00.003+01:00

I finished the last bit of the Training Station set up thanks to Tazar that had a Tinker just at the right level for me.

The boxes are all set to public, locked and trapped. The keyes for the Boxes are set to private to prevent not so nice players from setting the Traps off.

Good Luck on your Gains !!

New West Brit Bank

2009-03-07T22:29:00.003+01:00

Today we had the honor of watching Draconi remodel the Brit Bank.
Now it seems that even the Developers have trouble finding and placing the deco items as several pieces fell through the floor.

Anyways glad to see it all up and running , its just missing the inside now.
Oh and it seems that the Moongate cannot be placed where Vlad had wanted it, so lets see what happens there.

Long Lost

2009-02-25T08:12:00.005+01:00

Sadly it seems that in the past couple month Malas Universtity on Atlantic has been downsizing...the Quest Runebooks are gone as are some of the Buildings.

So what did that mean for us? Time to recheck those Questrunes to make sure they are all complete, up to date and ready to go.

Well after checking my Questhouse I decided to add a couple more and started to run around in Felucca marking runes there. I have to admit I am not a Fell person, but I do have a lot of respect for those who choose that playstyle.
But what makes all the running around finding these spots and marking runes there the most fun and rewarding, is finding long lost spots that noone remembers.

As we went around marking all the unique Spots last year it still seems that we have forgotten spots or just didnt know about them.

No Time

2009-02-21T09:56:00.003+01:00

Well this was supposed to be a productive week, but as usuall things didnt quite turn out the way i had planned.

Next week i will definetly start on the big Library Blog to keep everyone up on the hottest scoop.

The Bank renovation Contest Winners where finally anounced thou and Vlad did win it for Atlantic.

I am a big Fan of the new Bank , i was a bit worried it would end up like some of the other designs. Dont get me wrong they are all spectacular but i feel that they are a bit to cramped for how busy Atlantic is.

Anyways back to real life for me.....

Lets get started !!!

2009-02-17T12:34:00.003+01:00

Here is my little Village in Yew.
Right now we are still kind of snowed in...in Yew and in Reality.
