Join us as we celebrate the holidays in style on all of the open source uru shards... Just like in the "good old days" of Until Uru! We'll hop to one of the three major OS shards each week of the season. Get your avatars ready (and put your Santa hats on) for the Christmas Party Hop. Watch this thread for updates from your favorite shard administrators and guilds. A little birdie told me that we might even have a visit from the ever elusive large man from the north :)

We are very happy to announce TOC's party of the Open Source Christmas Party Hop! On December 14th (13:00 KI, 20:00 UTC, 21:00 CET) we are going to celebrate the first week of the Hop. Where are we going to celebrate? Well, there is only one possible location. We are going to party in THE age which makes The Open Cave so different and special: The City of Dimensions (CoD)! We have the whole city for the event (so don't forget to turn on "/autoshout"), but I think the dance floor on top of the City (take the Elevator beyond the great plaza, one floor up) is a great meeting place. Remember that you can always link to the CoD by running "/cod".

The Christmas Party Hop is also a great chance for every shard to show its specialties. So let's use that opportunity to show new players what we have got. On TOC, we might also not have a visit from "the ever elusive large man from the north" but from some other characters that you probably have not seen in quite a while. 
For those of you who want some more fun when linking, we enabled an old admin-only command that now everyone can use. "/linkanim 1" will give you a new Link-In animation which you can turn off using "/linkanim 0".

On that note, a special thanks to everyone who has been supporting our little shard which is existing for over three years now. You guys are great and TOC wouldn't work without you!
Also thanks to everyone who is taking part in the organization of the Hop, esp. Hoikas for Gehn Shard and the Guild of Messengers for MOULa.
Last but not least, thanks to everyone who is making URU Open Source so great: Developers, Testers, Players... Yeah, I'm practically talking about EVERYONE.

And now, parteh time!
