A Group project!!! Anyone Interested?

I'm wondering...
I was thinking about hosting a UOX3 server.

Now picture this...

What if, one person hosted a UOX3 server, (I'll be willing to do so) & EVERYONE in the game is made a GM, for a certain amount of time...

Ok?

Now the point of this would be to have a whole bunch of people working on the same shard at once. Therefore, getting a really nice world, with lots of different peoples ideas, from loads of NPC's to a whole bunch of full blown quests...
Wouldn't this be a good idea?
I'm willing to host the shard if no one else will.
Anyone up for it?

It wouldn't be a bad idea, as decorating and setting up a shard is a very very time consuming process.

The problem that I see is that most of the Uox3 developing crew are on very tight schedules (work, school, etc.) so actually getting a group together to decorate would be difficult.

But it is a good idea, even if four or five work on it for 2-3 months you could get a really nice "shared" file to post on Uox3 for new people to enjoy.

Once upon a time we had a dedicated UOX3 server run by the Development team. It allowed us to actually play the game (rather than just test individual fixes) and encounter (subsequently fixing) the annoying bugs that don't necessarily crash the server.

So will there ever be another Official UOX3 server up & running anytime soon?
Also... When I try to add doors and signs while in the game, I can add them to my backpack, but when I try to place them in the game, it says I can't pick it up.
I have the latest experimental server by Grimson.
And I have the NPC's and stuff added to most towns, but I still don't have any doors or signs.
And some towns don't have any buildings in them at all.
Will there be any updates soon?
It would just be nice to actually have an offline shard with at least enough in it, like npc's, quests & towns to actually be able to enjoy the game...

use the following command

ALLMOVE ON

well you could have a offical server running again. because if you keep up to date with UOX and its scripts when they update. I'm sure you could get the support.

How would I go about getting an official server?

--------Edit--7-------
I just tested my dynamic url with my dialup account
Realm of spirits is now online and available with auto account creation.
I am having trouble making it so everyone has GM powers.
Windows vista 32bit based UOX3 server
using:
Xuri's Rune Books
In process Chivalry spell book
default scripts
community made deco-doors and such

Login server LoginServer=uox3.kicks-ass.org
web page http://uox3.kicks-ass.org

If it's down it's because my IP is shifting it'll be back up.

on a side note I just added a micro invasion to the west bank in brit.
I'm going to use the Magincia Invasion style from the OSI event here as a test. but on a much smaller scale. meaning for now at least JUST the bank.

----------------------

Here is my offer, I have a 3 meg DSL pipe on a dynamic IP address.
I set up a DynDNS.org url (uox3.kicks-ass.org) with auto ip update.
I'm running the 0.98-3.7t server. If you can't connect to it let me know

and you can send me a direct email (until I start getting hammered by spam) My email address is "uox3(place the at sign here)shiawasseefriends(the dot goes here)com" or try my forum user name at same domain.

I am definitley going to have to update the weapons list.
I had to hunt down soul seeker by visual in inside uo and when I added it it was undefined.

I'm leaving the shard up, If anyone wants to give it a go around there is a mini demon invasion flowing from a black moongate at the west brit bank. The guards are trying to hold them back but sometimes the demons over power the guards and it gets nasty. I love how it ebbs and flows. it's really cool.

just um, don't loot the peasants that die, heh heh. you'll get hunted down and slaughtered by the guards and other citizens.
