Hello everyone and welcome to our new forum board! As you can see, we decided to keep a variation of ELoK for our name, we felt that keeping the Kenaz portion was important because it fully fit what we are and hope to be as a shard, and it always has fit us. We added The Rebirth because that is pretty much what this is, it's been a long while since we last had ELoK up, and when we took it down we were not sure if we would be back again or not. After time has passed, the fun that we once shared was missed greatly and so here we are again.
Things were always overshadowed before on the shard a great deal by issues of drama, emotions suppressed, conflict among players and old staff members, ect. This time around we plan to avoid all of those situations of the past shards. This is a new beginning for us and for Kenaz. You will notice that not everyone from the former staff teams are back, and some who were on it are. Our purpose this time around is a simple one - To have fun! To create a fun atmosphere for players and staff alike to enjoy and cut loose and escape from stress, not create it. We plan to have fun events, quests, new storylines, and just whatever else we can come up with!
We will not have a custom map at this time, so currently the only patch file to receive is one for the hues. We may at a later date decide to change the towns and such, but right now w/the current difficulties at ConnectUO, and w/UOGateway being gone for good, we decided that we would take our time and not be in a hurry to rebuild. We will most likely put up a poll to see what everyone thinks about having custom maps here soon and may eventually change the look of the towns. And we may once again have our custom artwork in as well, once I remember how to do it It has been a long time lol. So right now it's just the basic UO Map, and UO look of things.
Currently, to log onto the shard you need to use Razor, I have not had any luck getting ConnectUO to work since they are having issues atm, so Razor has been the easiest option. Also, you will need to be patched to 6.0.5.0, no later and if you are patched to less then that patch, it may boot you off server or give you warnings. We will post the connection information here shortly once we get some basics down at our staff meeting this week. We hope to have things up and going if we are lucky by this weekend if not sooner. We hope to see some familiar faces back to visit and play w/us again!
Please if you have any questions or concerns or anything just let us know, either here on the forums by pm or post, or email us at the old shard email:
landofkenaz@gmail.com
Or you can email me at:

The other staff members can add their personal email information if they wish to be contacted via it or you can reach them by pm on these forums. Thank you and we hope to see everyone again!
