From OSI

“Hear ye! Hear ye! The honorable high court of Britannia does hereby decree that, in light of the recent waves of monstrous entities and their champions rampaging throughout the lands, that all current outstanding murder warrants shall be dismissed, and all persons shall once again have equal opportunity to bear arms against the Evil that threatens our civilization.”

As the age of the Harrower dawned, we found that he was evil - far more evil than we’d ever imagined. This evil ripped into the very framework of Britannia, causing fear, confusion, dissent – and at times, extra murder counts for players who lost their loves in the dungeons and Lost Lands.

To fix this wrong, we debated on the best course of action – whether to revert, or to level the playing field by giving all characters a one-time-only reprieve of all murder counts. The decision was made to issue a reprieve, and it was done. This reprieve is granted to each character as they enter Britannia—as each character logs into UO, all of that characters short- and long-term murder counts will set to zero. This reprieve will only happen once per character.

Once this decree was made, we concluded it was best to not make a formal announcement until the reprieve was activated on all shards, for fear of unscrupulous people taking this opportunity to enter killing frenzies on multiple shards, anticipating that at the end of the day their murders would essentially have zero repercussions.

We apologize for any inconveniences suffered in the development of any character, and hope that this reprieve helps bring everyone’s characters back on track.
