We've got an email list and we sent out some emails for both of the skill-gain weekends when it peaked up to 50ish people. I'm working on setting up some sort of newsletter script where we can send out monthly updates and let people know about plans to have other events/skill-gain weekends, etc. In doing so I've decided phpList is a pain in the ass to customize.
I'm not sure when we started up again, exactly. in-uo.net was registered in January or so, and Shade and I were doing LOTS of crap behind the scenes for a couple months before we went live. I'd say we started working on it again about a year ago if not more, but we've only been live since the end of January I think.
I'm tempted to get some sort of running blog going about the behind the scenes development that players don't get to see.
It's a blast.
Ooh, how about a Ventrilo Q&A session and we can just giggle at Taran's accent. (It's actually not as bad, but he thinks it is.)
If you want to help raise the population, let friends know, post links to IN-UO on other sites or in forum signatures, vote on the voting sites, and just keep playing and making the place fun. One thing that I told shade is that I don't care if we have 1 player, I enjoy developing and playing around with things and I'll keep doing it because it's fun.
(Oh, and a note about the posting links thing I mentioned: If you want to link to us, please post links tastefully and don't post it on other UO shards' sites or places where people go to beg for players.)
