Major development team overhaul. A new programmer will hopefully be joining our team. Some people are leaving the team, others have lost interest. A lot of changes will be coming, for the better mind you. Keep checking the site.

Huge Updates concerning the Psychotropic Project will be posted within the next few days. Sorry for the lack of updates it has taken some time to get everything in order. So give us a few days to post it all.

• 0.8.0 Series of Builds coming soon! Huge change log and fix list..
• Windows and Linux Release Dates coming soon!
• Shard Featuring a compilation of Pre-T2A and Pre-UOR using our software!

Server has been down and out due to some computer problems. It will be back up and running in 1-2 hours. The GOOD/EVIL system is about 90% on its way to completion. Some new rules must be added into the actual core of the emulator which in turn will result in a new compile build as soon as you log on and see the magical ver 7.1 you will know factions are in. We have both faction styles working and will make them both available upon release.

AOS and NON-AOS crafting systems completed in the latest build. As well as some lovely new features.

Server is back online. It is now running a new build 0.6.7, information on the build can be found below. There is also a new account system in place. You MUST fill out the app. As soon as you submit the application it will be processed the IP checked and if everything appears proper a script will upload it into the accounts.hls file.

Check out the lower portion of the site, right side... Vote for us, we really need to get the server out there so we can get a large number of testers. Appreciate it!

Server is up! ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN FIXED!

Check out UOGATEWAY for details.. A Patch MUST be downloaded from UOGATEWAY. Any problems just post on the message board.

Psychotropic BETA has started.

The Public Beta Test for the server has been delayed until March 1st. We have all been horribly busy and haven't had the time to address certain issues. It will be released on the 1st. No worries.

Just wanted to say that we really appreciate the support we have been receiving from the Emulation community. This project has been in the works for a long time and we promise to make it more than worth the long wait.

We will be launching the server with the Pagan Mod on the 25th of this Month. We are going to be testing our new mapping system, and also collecting data on how the server holds up when large amounts of people are connected. The networking code needs to be really efficient when we release the package. Few emulators focus on the actual networking aspects of servers. We hope to correct this.

Emulation Completion Progress : 63% completed

• Emulator Info section has been organized finally.
• Guild System is completed. Order/Chaos works properly.
• Guild Tags appear as they do on OSI. As well as Chaos/Order titles.
• Faction System is close to completion, missing a few things
• Brtannia faction code needs completed.

Public Beta test will start on the 25th of this month.

Well the meeting has been delayed due to everyone being busy. Hopefully by the end of this week we will be able to get together and discuss some of the underlying issues.Working on a balanced Necromancy system for a Non-AOS styled alternative. I will keep everyone updated so check back in...

There will be a meeting at my house tonight for the Psychotropic team, a log of the events that take place will be posted late tonight or early tomorrow. Here is a run-down of what will be going on.

Steadily working on everything, I'm currently working on getting a new addition to the coding team. Hopefully this will pan out and we can get things moving faster. The webpage is nearing completion, some graphical ideas are still to be applied but the information is present. We will be updating within the next 2-3 days with a huge array of info on the Engine so keep checking back.

Psychotropic will be back and fully operational by Dec 18. You can expect a new design, fresh content and a lot more info concerning the Psychotropic project, so keep hitting the refresh button.

We will be accepting applications for the Psychotropic "RC3" Server starting today and continuing on through the next couple of weeks until we reach a satisfactory digit.

Testing phases of Psychotropic RC3 will be launched by this weekend, this will be a fully functional shard, no resets, no game stopping flaws, all skills intact, and massive amount of features working rivaling any other Emulators. All towns/dungeons/wilderness areas have been tended to an are flourishing with life and activities.

The Shard itself will represent the ideal's of OLDER "UO" aka "Glory Days" with a new additions and modifications along the way.

We will be using the message boards to keep in constant contact with all the players.

We will be asking that players report any noticeable problems, suggest corrections/improvements, test new implementations, and all around help us create a manageable, stable and bug free release. The Psychotropic Core Software is still in early stages, since it is a completely reworked version of the old and rusty HellfirE/Hybrid Engine there will be a variety of things that will need attention at first, however we will be addressing these issues in a very dedicated and timely fashion so head over to the Join Psychotropic link on the left, throw us an application and you will be notified of your Account Status when the server is ready for launch.

Back from the Great Below with a renewed since of giving a damn.

Psychotropic a new UO-Emulation Goal from the ashes of the Hybrid Project.

Basically the desire to play UO the way it "used' to be before greed filtered through the veins of OSI is the inspiration for the re-birth of this project. There will be a large amount of effort put into fine tuning the PVP and PVM aspects of this Emulator and making that once again enjoyable. Hopefully when all is said and done this will be a Server/Emulator capable of representing UO the way the majority of the population wishes it was.

The goal is an up to date version of the UO that existed pre Karma/Fame Publishes etc. with added abilities, skills, modes, crafts and a more well balanced gameplay mechanic.

The Psychotropic team is dedicated to upping the bar on the current crustation that is UO. To re-inject the element of fun and suprise back into a stale world of boredom, no more bugs, no more annoyances, no more not being able to accomplish things you want accomplished, no more bullshit.

After the release of the Core 1.0x Build, this project will be made open source for "hopefully" more developmental support.

"A bug involving carpentry and the making of bows that sell for quite alot of money has been fixed. Anyone who exploited this bug has been punished. All items purchased with dirty money made from selling the bows has been removed. Thank you to certain players who informed me. As for the people who abused it well I imagine you are sorry enough as it is. Also Guards no longer spawn with Halbred's of the Meteor. Sorry!"

• New Level/Rewards system in place.
• Energy Vortex's will now attack anything.
• Blade Spirits have been weakend.
• New Checking System in Place.
• You can now access your bank from your house sign.

"To clear up a few questions. One that I receive over and over is this : Since Hybrid is a stand alone emulator, is it extremely buggy? Will the world be redone on a regular basis? Well, here are some answers : No, Hybrid is out of the bug stage, there are some skill bugs but no game stopping or distracting bugs. NO, the world will NEVER be destroyed and re-created, it will always be there, so if you created a character back in the HellfirE stages, your character is still there. Hope this clears some things up."
