As they already told us during the All Guilds Meeting, the OpenUru.org team has been working on opening a new Uru Shard for testing new features.
Today, we announce that the preliminary work has finished and the shard is up and running! Right now, they are accepting only a restricted group of Testers and no new features have been installed yet, in order to make sure the structure is stable enough for testing. If it behaves correctly for a few days, the shard will open to a larger number of volunteers and new features will be added to be tested, such as the Unicode KI message support.
Stay tuned for more news on the OpenUru shard!


The name of the new Shard has been unveiled, it is Minkata, for its use as a big sandbox. More details have been clarified on this new announcement: http://forums.openuru.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=660
