New Shard

Post by Omikeron »

Hi there,

I have a question, i hope u can tell me.. We were playing UO like 8 years ago.. Well, I want to start a shard only for my friends, we want to play together just for fun, not public etc. The question is, if I dont have public IP (i dont know the right english word sorry.. hope u can get it - if I create LAN game (Counter Strike) they don't see it) and I create a shard here, can my friends connect to me via UOG? Because we were playing with each other back then. Then UOG just disappeard and that ruined our server.

Sorry for my English. Im looking forward to hear your answer. Thanks alot

No, you still need to forward the port to the outside.  Currently UOG is only a place to link to the shard's website, and provide the connection IP, it does not actually handle the connectivity itself.

One option is using something such as Homachi.  I am not too familiar with it myself but I know it creates kinda like a VPN between your friends.

Easiest bet is just make it public, but don't enable auto account creation, and only create accounts for the people you want to play.  Hope this helps.
