Fixing Login/Account creation.

Fixing the login/account creation process.

Or at least update the automated e-mail. 2 of us tried to sign up in the last couple days willing to give it a shot, but unless you feel like reading all the forums and finding the account creation thread, it appears to be a dead thread.

Granted it only took just over a day to get the email from RS, if I was browsing different servers, I may have passed it by.

Right now new accounts are disabled.

We're basically rebuilding the shard nearly from scratch (no wipe) and will be doing a re-grand opening in 2010. It will feature better security, easier to track activity etc so we will be able to quickly deal with troublemakers, possibly even without being in game. (web based mini admin interface)

I also have plans to look into coding a UO specific SPI engine for real-time packet analysis to auto ban people trying to use hacks.

Problem is we are pretty much under constant attack by script kiddies right now and we were spending more time babysitting the shard then coding.

I was even debating shutting down the shard and reopening after the revamp but I figured all I really need to do is close registration.

I can guarantee once we launch, it will be HUGE. So it's something to anticipate.

well it wont happen over night im affraid. You guys who are still on the shard will see changes as they are implemented in stages. Obviously the most complex stages wont take place until later in the year.

Earliest 3rd or 4th quarter of 2009 depending on how progress and testing goes.

Not to mention the dev team has a lot of wicked ideas that are really pushing the limits of the world of Ultima.
