===<span id="6">Novia Renamed to TRAMMUCCA</span>===
For many years now players have been debating having PVP and non PVP areas be mixed together on the map. They have also debated having a PVP system where players can flag PVP and be in areas that are not PVP. There have also been demands for making PVP more like the original Ultima Online and include full loot. Many players on both sides want to play fully undisturbed by the other kind of players. PVP players want to play only with PVP players and Non-PVP players want to only play with other Non-PVP players.

After much consideration, we have taken all of that feedback and have decided to rename Novia to TRAMMUCCA (see if you can guess where we got that name). The land will be split approximately in half. The northwest will be all Open PVP and Full Loot and the southwest will be completely Non-PVP (not even flagging nor Dueling allowed). As part of this we are going to wipe all land claims starting at 11:59 PM April 1 and we will start a new landrush following similar rules and sequence as before (see here for the original order of lot claiming). New Bundles will be added to the lot claiming sequence so lot claiming will now take 2 months instead of 1 month. The new lot selection sequence will be posted at 10:30 AM April 1. Please note it is critical that you NOT unclaim before the automatic unclaiming goes into effect or your order will not be correct.

Additionally we have gotten a lot of requests for a global chat so we tonight we are adding full global chat without moderation. We feel that this makes the need for forums obsolete so we are shutting down our forums immediately.

Welcome to TRAMMUCCA!
