Additionally, the next PublishPublish 105, also known by the name Forgotten Treasures — is currently on the Test Center shard:

We are pleased to announce the first Test Center release of Forgotten Treasures will be available after 4pm ET!Forgotten Treasures is the second in our High Seas themed content updates for the year and we are excited to bring a fresh perspective to Treasure Hunting and Cleanup Britannia. This is only a small part of what’s to come in Forgotten Treasures but we are eager to bring you this early look and get your feedback as we work through the public testing process. Please be sure to check out the publish notes for the latest updates, and participate on the UO Forum in the latest discussions.

Please note – if you plan to test anything on TC1, especially Treasure Hunting, you will need to patch up to the latest client. When you head back to production, you will see this updated client text – do not be alarmed, this is normal and expected behavior.

There are also a few new pieces of lore fiction available, which pertain to this Publish: No QuarterTreasure Island, and Sea of Tears.
