We hit number one in almost all the lists and the ones we are not on top of is because those shards pay to be placed in the top 5...So vote wise we are beating the pay sites.  I appreciate all of the voting and donations, im going to use some of the money to start some banner ads to attract more players...keep up the good work!

We hit our record high of 84 online today!  Thanks for all of the support and the voting, keep it up, we are growing fast!

Hello everyone, please vote daily!  Its very important to keep us high on the top lists to attract new players to our community.  We are usually in the top ten, but this week I noticed we have been slipping...   Im going to spend some money on advertising this month to get the player base back up, please help me attract and retain these new players   Please make sure when you first log in you take the time to vote, and please vote carefully and accurately for your vote to count.  Read the captchas carefully and complete them exactly.  If you cant read them, just use the circular arrow to refresh a new, easy one

Great Job this week, we got into the top 5 of all the lists, please keep up the good work!  If we remain in the top 5 week, on Sunday I will start doing a special ED event to reward you all for voting daily!

Keep up the good work, we hit a high of 107 players online last month and continue to grow!  Voting helps attract new players so keep it up!

Thanks to everyone that takes the time to vote!  You help make this shard #1 by casting your vote and ranking us on the UO top lists.  We attract new players by being ranked high and is very important for the player base and economy.

We only get about 4 votes a day and have over 200 unique players log in each day...It would only take 1 day to be on top all month if you all just voted 1 time and we got 200 votes to register.  Im not asking for much:)

Many players are not voting daily, so I am asking for your help to make a culture of voting out of pride rather than from bribing you with voting rewards.  Vote because you really love this shard and want it to be successful.

I am also looking for some helpers to guide new players to have fun, teach them the ropes, include them in fun and encourage the voting culture.

Thanks
Dante

The top lists reset last night, so its really important to vote this week to get us back on top!  Many of those lists give the paysites 100 free votes so we have a lot of work to just to catch up and be ranked.

We have been able to be #1 on most of the sites by the end of the month.  I want to rally early so we get new players all month long, rather than just the last week of the month.

Thanks again for all of the support!

I need a few dedicated voters that can get on every day and vote for all of these "small" top lists. We rank very high on many with just a few daily votes. Here I have listed 18 sites...I have this section on the wiki under the "Voting" header

Congratulations everyone, we hit the record of 122 online last night!  The voting has really paid off, you made your shard #1

that makes me wanna VOTE

We hit a new record last night of 133 players online!  Tyvm for all of the help and support to make the shard grow so fast this last month.  Keep up the voting, it really does pay off for everyone

We hit 167 online last night for St Patrick's Day. tyvm for all the effort and support !

Again you guys rocked the votes and we got a ton on new players this month!  We set a new record of 188 online for the auction!

Thanks for voting, we were on top all month again!

Several players said that dont vote because the reward is not big enough!  My response to that is you should want to vote to make your shard better and keep us on top.  By ranking high on the top lists, we attract more players and make the community stronger.

I give 100 tokens x 10 stones which is the equivalent of 3000 gold daily to each player that votes.  I also give an opportunity to get free ED x 10 chances daily  you could win 1-5 ED which is equal to 80k-400k just for taking a few mins to vote!

Thank you for all the voting!  We are in the top 3 of almost all the toplists

These are great beginning numbers for the month!  Keep up the good work, every vote counts and we will grow like crazy with the new server and these vote results, tyvm

Im going to buy alot of banners this month on all the major topsites.  I would like to try and push for 200 online.  That being said, please continue to vote, even if we are on the top spots.  It takes a lot of work and daily votes to maintain the top positions. 

Please remember to vote daily as part of your login routine.  You can also vote on the wiki, which has some lesser voting sites that need your votes also.

I know it's boring to vote, but it is very important to attract new players and build a strong community.  Please put in extra effort this month, I would appreciate the help

Thanks

Voting Updates

This last month we lost our #1 position and ranked #7 on the top list, so in an effort to encourage player voting we have added the following incentives

We will make special event daily for players who have a vote tag when we announce it in public

We have now implemented an xml vote tag on each acct that will show a log of each player's voting history.  We will be randomly rewarding players that are consistently helping the shard and voting daily.  If this helps increase the shard rankings, we may start up contests each month with big prizes!

Keep up the good work and make your shard #1 this month!

I don't have much of a budget this month for advertising and banners, so I really need everyone to pitch in this month and vote daily to keep us in the top 3 tyvm

I will vote and donate when the server comes back up

We hit 200+ again online today!  What an awesome recovery this month...tyvm to the entire community.  We still remain #1 in the custom freeshard catagory, keep up the voting!
We will have a vote rally, late night on the 30th!

We hit 217+  online last night!  Lets try to break the record of 233 today for the auction.  tyvm to the entire community.  We still remain #1 in the custom freeshard catagory, keep up the voting!

We will have a vote rally, late night on the 31st!  (werewolf event:)

UO Evolution hit a huge milestone Sunday night! 

We sent out an email to all of out old players from the past 3 years and invited them to return for the grand auction house drop event.  We got 82 new accts yesterday and hit a new RECORD of 269 players online for the event!

I ask the community to welcome all of the new players as well as the returning players.  Make sure we help them all get started again with some gear and friendship!

Kane continues to deliver weekly updates every Friday and adds new content for us to all enjoy! See the forum and developer logs for details.

Keep up the fantastic work guys, it is truly appreciated.

It is now 3 days in a row that 3 vote websites are down. Do you also have this on your side? (The 3 ones with a name starting with "g" on the voting stones)

This does not seems to be a personal connection issue as they are all on a cloud and the cloud answers instead of them saying that their server is down.

When I try to connect to them, the cloud Mirror that is answering me is Amsterdam, so, what do you have? Down also or is it this mirror that is totally f***ed up?
Looks like they are down, I cant connect either, looking into it, ty

Thanks to all the UOE players that help me vote on the toplists each week!  I really appreciate the effort.  We hit an all-time record online player count of 337 during our last auction and our population is growing by 10 accounts per day!  The majority of new players are coming from the vote sites, so keep up the good work!

Thank you all for the advertising input, especially the data about how you originally found the shard

Here is the results:

Google: 42
Word of Mouth:  31
Gamesite 200:  10
Xtreme: 8
Topsite (not specific): 8
UO Gateway: 7
JoinUO:  6
Facebook: 2
PortalUO: 1

I am going to add some more topsites to our daily voting stones and color code the sites we need to work on to be #1

If the vote stone is red, we need to vote on it, yellow means we are in the top 3, and green means we are #1

As you all know, voting on the Ultima Online toplists is very important to keep UO Evolution Shard on top! Thank you Gothrond for creating this cool new banner for our Pirate Month theme!

Thank you all again for making UO Evolution the #1 Custom Freeshard!  All of the daily voting has kept us very visible on all the lists. 


We had to remove the vote stones from in-game today due to an exploit.  It saddens me that players still take advantage of the shard, rather than report an issue...


Please keep voting from the wiki daily to keep us on the top of the lists, it is very important and am asking players to make this new change a part of their daily routine, please visit this link and vote
