Here is a little information about my shard.
HighCastle Halls went public in August '05. It is a Pre-UOR base with lots of added features. We have Felucca with T2A and a custom town called Greentown. We do not have power scrolls (except for blacksmithing and tailoring). We do not have Luck, or any of the other AOS Attributes. We do not have the paladin or necromancer professions. We do incorporate many features and items from AOS and later expansions.
And we have many custom scripts. One of my favorites allows players to purchase buildings in towns. (Knives Townhouses)
We have a small player base but they are great people who like to RP. Our three staff members collaborate on making new quests using xmlspawner.
More details are available on our shard forums. Too much to list here!
All are welcome. There is a small patch (about 5MB) when you connect though UOGateway, which will update your client so you can see the buildings and roads in Greentown.
