Yew, UND, Savages, and a possible dwarf guild will be there on launch. We'll see how it goes. Yew for sure is diving head first into launch. No Boulderfist in beta, though I'm sure they'll try and come spoil the fun. And yes AYA you better come back. This will probably be the last great hurrah for a UO shard. I know this will be the last shard I will ever play, so now's the time to join in. January 10th in the evening is official launch. I'm taking that day off work and you bet I'll be around for it.
