What is a Shard?

"Shard" is the Uru-word for a server you can connect to to play Uru online. Two explorers playing on the same Shard can chat with each other, meet in the same age or exchange KI pictures. Two players on different Shards however are totally separated, there is now way for them to communicate within the game. In other words, Shards form different instances of the whole Uru universe, just like every offline installation is totally separated from the rest of the world.

There are different kinds of Shards, depending on which Uru version they are based on.

There are several public Shards available that you can easily join for free. They all have their own installation instructions, which you should carefully read not to disturb the operating of the Shard.
