Thursday, May 12th - the 22nd marks my last business trip for several months. I am travelling to Den Haag in the Netherlands for 10 days to support IBM's efforts in the area.
Saturday, June 10th, 2006 marks KGB's 9th year in existance and a huge mile stone for our organization. As you all know, KGB is one of the oldest gaming organizations in existance. As your High King, I am calling for the partisipation of all current and former members in an event in a virtual world that we can all take part in.
This is a chance to come together at no cost to our membership. I am looking at one of the free UO shards and asking that everyone be involved. I plan to post our destination in the next 48 hours. I need all of you to sound off regarding which is the best shard and where do we have the most resources.
This will mark an unpresented show of KGB force as well as a chance to finally play with the entire membership. Once we have made the decision, I will be hosting a KGB ventrillo server so we can all work together and make a showing.
I will be appointing a High Chancellor for the first time in many months to help prepare for this event. Please partisipate in the organization of this outing and be a part of this Historical event.
1) Based on your input, and the ability to purchase and or train a character quickly, I will be choosing a target server in the FREE UO server realm.
2) All KGBers, current and former will be invited to attend and take part of this event.
3) All Characters will be encouraged to display the KGB logo in name and in guild mode.
Take part in the decision making process as to where we decide to meet. Your partisipation is encourages and will be recorded for KGB History.
As High King, I will personally be making an appearance and call on the current KGB Paladins to assist and defend me.
Please take the time to contact all current and former KGB members to partisipate.
A decision on server and shard will take place within 72 hours. Be sure to be heard and share your opinion.
I look foreward to seeing all of your opinions in this thread.
Those KGBers residing in the Netherlands, please contact me via private message for a possible meeting while I am there.
Lets all take part in KGB's 9th Birthday and all get together for this milestone in Internet Gaming.
In your service,
JetStar, KGB High King.

On another note JET.. We need to host a UOAM server as we already have a Vent up.. just a heads up!
Lets organize and make this great!
I had like 5 accounts A Tower and 4 houses.. big ones..
Not sure if they still there or not.. I think bandit was playing them. I had a ton of free stuff from camping houses etc etc.
If bandit comes on here he might be able to hook everyone up with some stuff
As far as I know most of hte current UO-KGB players are on Hybrid. I am on Oblivion with some freinds there, but since accounts are free would consider ALSO playing on Hybrid. Definitly need a UO-Automap server, and I posted a link to get UO with out registering anywhere, here it is again:

NOTE to get UO:Gateway to work, you MUST install everything (UO, Razor, etc, all progies!) with the defualt settings. Thier forums are filled with ppl complaining about that, and the support replies are "TOo bad, so sad" (my paraphrase). IF you do that, it seems to work fine. Just go to the settings tab and set it the way you want, its fiarly simple to config. I set it to launch Razor, skip all intro movies, and close its self when done.
Currently I have 3 toons started on Hybrid
Owain ab Arawn - Warrior
Arawn ab Gywfir - Archer/fletcher
Daffyd ab Owain - Blacksmith/miner
As much as I'd like to have KGB as part of my char names, these are the same char names I used previously in UO, so it would just feel wrong not to ressurect these guys.
Do we have a central area of operations staked out yet? On UO siege perilous, we started out in the Trinsic area, and then moved our base of operations to Ice Island. I'd like to get my guys guilded ASAP, so who is handling that?
This is going to be a blast!
I have a nice tower and we have a KGB headquarters and bandit has a nice pad near that tower.. we should use that tower as our base of ops.. who owns the tower near bandits place? Also who holds the KGB stone at this time please post thanks

Where are these buildings located?
My towers on an island bandit and KGB tower are where they used to be on Seige Perilous west of Wrong
Contact my via icq 6609526
consider using my keep as well. benefit is that its earthquake proof. on this server pks have refined house killing to a fine art. i remember in our last hybrid foray a group of 4 pks managed to slaughter many, many kgb trying to hide in the tower.
yea towers are a dime a dozen. not keeps tho, so keep for the win.
Well i own the kgb stone on hybrid and the tower that it is in. Im all for playin on the hybrid server i really like the diff tournaments that they host during the day. Theres also a pretty high amount of ppl loged on which makes it decent when ur looking for a fight/war. Plus most of the ppl there are pks so we would have alot of cleaning house to do. We do need to run a uoauto map though like the others where sayin it with vent makes for a pretty cohesive attack force. Msg me here or talk to me in vent and ill get u added to the guild. We can just start from there and make a decision where we want to go once we get all u guys trained up if hybrid is where we land.
Ryu I need tags plz ICQ 6609526 when your on and I will get my ass to the stone and sit on it and hopefully derive some pleasure from spinning around.. whoops off on a tangent.. Ryu is right tho this server averages 800 population consistently and on weekends can top 1000 easy. There are numerous fun events that the GM's do and the server lag is decent to good. Considering we have keeps / towers / houses and people that are 7X I strongly urge us to pool our resources and get this thing going. It needs a little organization for example we could have a set time most of us can be on. Like make it after 8pm est or something and we can help train the people that are new to UO etc.. please post your thoughts.
Kaly and i have hybrid chars mine hasn't been created yet but he is there as Kalypso
we need to move kgb stone to kharnes keep. its way better than a tower and looks more prestigious.
I will be with you guys when I return on the 21st. Get everything set up !
We can move it where ever it needs to be. Gota meet up with kharne in game first so for now just gonna keep it where it is .
Isn't hybrid the post uo:r one? Whereas divinity is the t2a one?
hybrid is uo:r pvp and divinity is t2a.. a half assed version of t2a pvp imo but that's another story.
anyways regarding my keep - just have to give me a PM and ill co-own the leaders of this kgb faction. they will be free to do with the property as they please.
what irc do you all hang in?
Do we have an active teamspeak or ventrillo server for people on UO:Hybrid? If so, what parameters do I set to connect?
owain you will want to ask that question in a private forum
My mistake, I thought the national forum was KGB only...
I think its on a thread somewhere.. I would recommend creating a UO private forum, and posting vent info there.
KGB does currently have a Vent server running. I'd check the guild hall untill then.
And UO:r for the lose, I was actually considering playing >_<
yeah it's uo:r pvp in that there are special moves, cannot heal through poison, etc. but they took the other stuff out like powerscrolls and stats over 100
UO:Renaisance - one of the first major UO updates that added a lot of rule changes that a lot of people feel was the start of the decline of UO.
RYU Plz PM Kharned can the two of you work out the logistics of the stone move? Also everyone PLease post your character names here and their skill sets so that we can coordinate.. We will be needing full spell books people to tame mounts for people that dont have etheral blessed mounts etc..
Uber = Healing / Hiding / Magery / Resisting Spells / Meditation / Anatomy / Evaluating Intelligence (May drop healing for wrestling so I can stun punch people dunno yet)
Black-Dragonz = Alchemy / Inscription / Hiding / Magery / Meditation / Evaluating Intelligence / Resisting Spells
Going to roll up a tamer and then a full townie dexxer. I stat and skill balled Uber and worked Black-Dragonz up myself skill gains are fast here you can get a full 7X in 3 days if you know the right macros.. some skills cant macro like taming and provoking etc..
If you need the skills to ping pong your stats to max give me a tell but heres a hint...
Ping pong mace / mining and arms lore will work strength
ping pong anat (works str and int)/ eval int / item id / taste id will work for int
ping pong snoop hide and fencing for dex..
providing all skills are capped at 700 if you dont know what ping pong means send me a PM and ill explain how to max your stats in no time flat.. word
dont need to ping pong on hybrid, if you're at 700 skill cap you just need to set a skill marked up and you will gain stats even if you arent gaining any skill at all.
Uber start a thread for the characters in the gaming forum or the great hall so that way it won't get lost in this thread.
I haven't even created my char yet, I am sorta waiting to read up on hybrid to see what their rules are what stuff like that from their website they don't give much information on the type of server i know it's uo:r but is there any other rules they've made up for the server?
no rules baby.
just kill or be killed =P
*logs back onto hybrid*
Lets make some pvp characters!!!
What is the UOAM server?!
thats the one thing we need is a uoam server i cant host one cause i dont have a second comp.
hmm i use to be able to host but i work so much now just got me a new car pt crusier.
Jet siad he would host when he got back from his trip.
What exactly needs to be hosted? I can leave something running on the DSL at home through DYNDNS if needed. Will it need any administration, or will it just auto whatever's needed? t-
I'm sure I can provide a dedicated machine and a dyndns name everyone can reach, but if Jet is back tomorrow, maybe there's no sense having another.
Well...If someone wants to email me all the information id appreciate it. So long I can have some time to get a character together to play, and have a date set so I can make time for it id love to play with all you guys again.

I presume this event is still on, but I haven't heard any updates. What time on the 10th? Where will the event take place? What are we planning to do? What is the UOD (uniform of the day)?
Time to start preparing...
Indeed, I need to know what time (and which time zone) so I can bookmark some time to
report
for the event... hopefully the evening.
im down to lead our troops into what ever we run into.
i was waiting to hear more from jet on this. I don't think we will be around on the 10th though i have friends driving through Tn from Fla and we'll be out of town most likly
Let me know where and when and I will be present!
I have been struggling to choose my path, hope to have Jet finished by this weekend. I have to finish the Virtual machine to run the UOAM server.
