Stress Test on Sunday!

Posted by Boomland Jenkinson November 26, 2024in Shard News

The stress tests for UO Tides of Power are happening Sunday, December 1st, at 3pm and again at 8pm eastern time. Each test lasts for one hour.

A reminder: The stress test features are not an accurate representation of how Tides of Power will look or function.

DELUCIA & STRESSLAND

New players will arrive in Delucia for the stress test. We encourage you to idle in the Inn lobby or explore Delucia. We’ve scattered items across the town including skills balls, ethereal mounts, hair dye, masks, bins of magical items, items that create unspeakable chaos, and other surprises. There will be a gate to a dungeon space for those who want to leave guard zone.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

  • Log in with as many clients as you want.
  • Lounge! We’ve setup food and drink at the Inn for those who want to stumble around drunk.
  • Craft! We’ve created an endless pile of ingots at the blacksmith. The craft delay has been reduced to a second for the stress test. Spam item crafting and trash-barreling!
  • Fight! Leave town and fight monsters, or each other. You’ll find gates throughout town leading to different spots.
