  • I certainly hope that's not supposed to be an actual newsletter. Honestly, the lack of communication on the state or direction of the game is a bit disappointing.
  • keven2002 said: If the seasons are 6+ months long, that means some scripter is going to get X gold in Prod once or twice a year for some decorations. I don't think that would be the end of the world. It might not even be worth it for them when t…
  • With the NDA in place and it being an alpha, you won't hear anything about what's being tested or what those systems look like. Once we get into the beta, I expect to hear more about specific systems unless the team decides to pivot and share their …
  • keven2002 said: Holumer said: Thank you for the feedback Larisa. I do have hopes for finding out by friday lol This team has a reputation of moving at a snails pace on most things so I doubt the decisions would be made by Friday. T…
  • Grimbeard said: It took years before i went overboard! I completely get it because of my own incremental frustration with the lack of communication. 
  • LilyGrace said: I wish I could have bet money that username and McDougal would have 0 positive things to say and only complaints about a newsletter, upcoming events and beta signup for NL. Those two certainly go overboard, but even the ave…
  • It’s the quantity. He’s literally trolling every single thread. No one wants to engage in discussion because every single thread is hijacked by a small number of posters. 
    in Ban saul? Comment by Karyn August 2023
  • I doubt anyone is surprised they missed their Alpha target; we haven't heard a peep for six months.
  • Yeah, don’t know why anyone would have issues trying to comprehend your posts. That’s on me.   My base question still stand. Who at broadsword do you believe has a gmail account? Are they someone whom the public should even be speaking too? Is this …
  • Messena’s broadsword email is widely known and someone posted a c-suite executive of EA’s address in another thread. Who specifically are you trying to reach? 
  • Look, I want better communication from the Dev team and some accountability to timeline and scope, but pulling a "Karen" and asking to speak to the manager? What exactly do you think that's going to accomplish?  Yes, I get the irony of me of all pe…
  • Yoshi said: "to be fair,  let us ask some rhetorical questions, who is the NL game for? is it for you the current subscriber who is already paying their subscription? or are they making something to attract new people or very very old play…
  • loop said: Kind of proves my point, Grimbeard. More communication would be great, but I don’t know that the quality of communication on this forum lends itself to constructive conversation.  It would be better for the team to provide updates …
  • MacroPlanet said:. But what do we have to do to get the conversation going forward? We’ve all stated how any kind of communication helps, but it seems we never get one.  We, as players, can do nothing to move the conversation forward at this …
  • I don't know what to say at this point that wouldn't be a rehash of what I've already said. There was a comment in another thread about people leaving because this forum was nothing but people beating a dead horse. However, that's the problem there'…
  • You need to take some lessons from Popps. Your trolls are like a blunt instrument compared to his mastery of trolling
  • keven2002 said: All of that said, I can see how some people could argue about the Devs "not giving updates when there aren't any". I'll give NL a pass because it seems like it was a massive undertaking and maybe they are a bit under water.  …
    in Communication Comment by Karyn July 2023
  • Well, I certainly appreciate you all completely derailing the thread here. It's reasonable to expect consistent communication regarding the current status and future roadmap. That being said, it is unreasonable to expect that communication to answ…
  • Grimbeard said: Now you've stated your opinion twice let's let others state theirs  It's a discussion that usually takes some back and forth in communication instead of just yelling out into the void and declaring yourself the winner of the …
  • Trismegistos said: Write your own nl. I'd rather hear from the producer what the roadmap is for UO
  • Pawain said: But we need a newsletter now to tell us NL is not ready yet, even tho it is not supposed to be ready. Most games don't have newsletters but DO have other means of communication used by the developers, most notably posting on t…
  • Vagabond said: Information from the very obviously no longer official fan site Stratics should also be taken with a grain of salt. That site went rogue months ago, and nothing posted there will help end this "glacial items scandal" (which onl…
  • I'd rather not have Garriot back; I don't see that as the saving grace, some folks might believe. If NL is still a thing, the last monthly... er periodic newsletter said they were aiming for a mid-year Alpha (June / July). If that's the case, I wou…
  • After all these years, how do people still fall for these troll attempts?
  • Coming back to the original question - I'm assuming that the reason for the 18-hour cycle instead of a 24 is in part because they don't actually want players to be able to log in once a day at the same time, collect their BOD and log off.  I'm basi…
  • Honestly, I'd just like to see some solid details on the functions and feature set of NL. Everything is so vague "we're going to do some stuff, and there's going to be some cool things". Ok, you got me hooked on the teaser, now it's time to give me …
  • popps said: This is an issue lamented by many players, across multiple Shards. No, just you. 
  • popps said: What I would love to see is more love towards players' storage needs. The last ability to get additional extra House (+20%) and Bank (+25) storage, came in 2010 with the High Seas Expansion. That is now some 11 Years folks !…
  • Pawain said:    not a good place for an intellectual conversation. Notice how the replies are straight from 3rd grade. Too true, too true. There is certainly a large lack of reading compression at the very least from some posters. Thanks fo…
  • Arnold7 said: Don’t really agree with this.  Game needs full time and part time players to survive. Yes, it does, but it also doesn't care that Popps couldn't get his drops because he wanted to be a part-time player.  Agree, don't agree, …
