Because of the sudden influx of new users we have seperated the patch server and the web server. Now all patches downloaded through the patcher are downloaded through a seperate server on a faster connection. Hopefully this will resolve some issues we were running into.
If for some reason your patcher isn't working...download the latest obsidian.exe from:
http://www.obsidianshard.com/patcher/obsidian.exe and place it in your Obsidian/UO Directory and run it.
Thanks for your patience guys I think the 3.0 update is finally finished and stable.
**On a side note the message boards were getting seriously lagged when people went into the buy and sell forum. This has been resolved so sell away!**
