Server is now online! Make sure to vote for us once a day and get those small donations in!
After you finish downloading the patch PLEASE keep bittorrent running for awhile to help distribute the patch quicker. The server will be up as soon as the load is balanced. So the sooner we have 15-20 seeds the sooner I'll get the server up. See you in-game soon!
Today launches the release of the largest ever patch in the history of Obsidian. Weighing in at a meaty 100megs this patch changes huge portions of the game all for the better. What are some of the features you ask? Well lets review some of the key features:
* More Stable and Reliable client
* New Music
* New Interface
* Updated Spellbook
* Weapons and Armor Appearance Changes
* New Looking Landscape Terrain and Trees
* 72 New Monsters (To be implemented later)
* New Weapons, Armor and Items
* Completely Revamped Autopatcher with Voting Function
* Much, Much More!
Before you download have you considered donating a few dollars to the shard? Even $5 helps and we are going to need some more donations for the upcoming bandwidth needs.
<center> If you have Obsidian 2.3 Installed</center>
Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of Bittorrent <a href=" http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitt ... e?download">[Download Here]</a>
Step 2 - Download the Obsidian 3.03 Patch (100megs) <a href=" http://www.dxgaming.com/downloads/Obsid ... ch.torrent">[Download Here]</a>
<center> If you don't have Obsidian 2.3 or UO Installed</center>
Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of Bittorrent <a href=" http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bitt ... e?download">[Download Here]</a>
Step 2 - Download the Obsidian 3.03 Full Installer (371megs) <a href=" http://www.dxgaming.com/downloads/Obsidian_T3A.torrent">[Download Here]</a>
I truly hope you guys appreciate this patch. Tons of hours of work have been put into the design and development so if please consider this before deciding to complain for pointless reasons. And yes once again if you like what we do and want us to keep it up consider donating either via Pay Pal or via Mail (Click Donate on the left menu bar)

Any bug submissions based on the new patcher I wrote please PM me.
P.S. BB didn't make it clear in his post. Those who downloaded Obsidian 3.0 need to redownload again to get 3.01. We're really sorry but it needed to be done. Again every please seed when you're done downloading.

Well i downloaded the first patch and left bittorent running because i had to go out and thought it would help others to get in the game while i was out
Iget home expecting to play the all new version 3 and... NO! its a bugged patch 
So here i go again, downloading the (hope this works) 3.01 patch and as soon as it has finnished i will try acting as a seed again until the server is up
God! what a life we game addicts live
