  • The festivities kick off at 10:00am ET at The Barnacle in Minoc on TC1 with a warm welcome and a nostalgic look back at 28 unforgettable years of Britannia.
  • Then it’s time for the Bagball Battle! Players will compete for a shard-bound trophy and the ultimate prize—a chance to take on the Dev Team themselves!

    Good fail on the timing. Couldn't do it on a weekend? LOL

    It wouldn't be much of an anniversary if it wasn't celebrated on the 24th.

    It's not much of an anniversary celebration when the two largests chunks of the player base, being 10am-2pm est usa time zones and Japanese time is 11pm-3am, cannot attend. 

    Massive failure. Do it on the weekend.

    Extend the event 4 hours.  @Community Manager can sing and dance and do magic tricks in Britain conservatory.  Can't be worse than the performances on NL.

    Then the main show later. Players will hang around.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    No one asked to for this. We just asked for common sense to hold an event on the weekend as it's the common sense and logical time when most people would be able to attend, instead of mid day because it's convenient for them and they're on the clock anyway. A 1st grader could have told you this. They're prioritizing their convenience instead of the players. Let that sink in.

    The celebration schedule should run something like:
    Yay! UO was released 28 years ago on 9-24-97.  TO celebrate we will have celebrations across the globe on Saturday 9-27-25!!!!
    Celebrations begin at 9AM in the following time zones:
    9AM Canberra Time 
    9AM Central European Summer Time
    9AM Eastern

    See, that wasn't so difficult.  You get global coverage at a time that works for the paying customer.
