Publish 80 Goes Live On All Shards

Late last night, Tim Chappell posted an update to UO.com announcing that Publish 80 would be bringing its host of bugfixes and changes to all shards, along with a few new changes:

• Chest will now spawn in reachable locations in the Exodus Dungeon
• Chopping of containers will not delete any items inside of them
• Players should not feel excessive lag in castles
• Using Rose of Trinsic will no longer adversely affect your characters str.

However, all servers will be down today to bring additional hotfixes to the new Publish:

• Buff/Debuff icons should properly be removed from hot bars now
• You can no longer retrieve a house trash can
• All vendors will now be replaced after customizing your house
• Reforging should work properly now
• Items will not be rejected from your house any longer when you customize

Shards should be back online as of about 5:30 PM EST, however.
