Gray World/Gray Sphere/Sphere Open Sourced
[23:28:22] matt [wronka.org]/Trip Apparenly the Ultima Online server Sphere (formerly Gray World and Gray Sphere) is now open source:
http://forum.spherecommunity.net/Thread-Open-Source
When I played with it nearly twenty years ago it was quite nice and easy to configure—it seemed easier to fiddle with than UOX, which has been open source since it's release early on. A couple years I started playing with UOX3 but never got the world fully set-up; I imagine there must be an easier way than how I was going about it but it seemed more laborious to edit in-world than Gray's tools were.

World 7 (North America) opened-up on Lord of Ultima <http://www.lordofultima.com/en>; servers still have a lot of down time. The reason why that's really annoying is that events are supposed to happen real time; so if you launch an assault that's timed to arrive at "sunrise" (defenders get an added bonus during the night, so it's benneficial to attack during the day), this attack can be delayed. Now, that might not be a big deal if you're trying for a sunrise attack since you'll still likely arrive during the day, but if you're trying to get one last raid at night--or if you send your defending army to raid a dungeon and now they aren't getting back until after sunrise and you're vulnerable--it can be very annoying.

It's not quite Ultima, but it's fun; until the highschooler's take their daddy's credit card away...
