We have now ended the Beta testing for the new Tartarus facet and are making final preparations for the official opening of that facet.
This involves:
1) Freezing certain aspects of Tartarus into the world maps 2) Editing the mining related files so miners can randomly find Moonstones (which players can use to travel to Tartarus and back to Trammel) 3) Creation and distribution of the revised game files to all players.
This process should take less than a week to complete but will not be released until next week (probably during the Wednesday shard reboot)
As a result of this change over: 1) The Temporary Moongate (by the Britain bridge) to and from Tartarus - has been removed. 2) The 15 little holes from Trammel to Tartarus have been deactivated.
NOTE: if this creates a problem for any character stranded on Tartarus or needing to get to a home built on Tartarus - please let us know and we can help out until the new files are released.
Thank you to everyone who has helped with the pre-release testing of this new facet.

Work is well under way and it looks like we will meet our goal to release the new scripts and maps for Tartarus with the Wedneday November 20 reboot.
Note: In the process we discovered a few areas of Trammel, Malas and Tokuno that also needed to be frozen into the maps (ie. All of Magincia which could not be seen in your little Radar Map window etc)
Important: What does this mean to you?
Next Wednesday there will be a new zipped 'Complete All-in-One Package' available for download on the UOT Website. This will work for all existing players and all future players. Without that download you will miss a lot of nice new features (for sure Tartarus would be messed up for you and large areas of Trammel/Malas would be invisible).
We are sorry for any inconvenience but believe this is small term pain for long term gain. This will be the last time you need to download files for UOT unless something comes available that the community demands.
Thank you for your understanding.
Cheers
