  • The addition (don't know how long ago -- maybe years) of blocking dismount in combat in the classic client was great.  As another poster said, I do think peaking at what the private shards do that is popular is a good idea. I can't imagine the dev …
  • I do think that powerscrolls should stay, largely, in their current form. There has to be an incentive to take the risk. If not, players can purchase said scrolls from vendors/chat. Now I don't think they should become shard bound, however. I say …

  • To Cookie's point about disconnecting randomly, if I have two clients running on the same PC (paid accounts), only one of them will randomly get disconnected. 
  • Since the last patch, I have yet to see anyone obviously botting - no stacks of toons acting like a weed eater through towns. I've only even run the original UO client, so nothing has changed for me (I'm a fairly casual player now, not even setting …
  • KroDuK said: Venom said:This absolutely does NOT ruin his argument. His post makes clear the purchase of 20 totems is to obtain one of these new mare hues. If they won't help him attempt to get what he explicitly stated the purchase is fo…

  • My favorite holiday memory is when I was a kid playing UO, my two brothers and I shared an account. It was Christmas day and someone PKed my younger brother who was mining near Minoc. I logged on and got sweet, sweet revenge. My other favorite hol…
  • While Sampires are clearly powerful, essentially everyone has the option to make one. With this invasion portion of the event, I've used a tamer, archer, sampire, and thrower. I prefer an archer of the group. I'm hardly a "hardcore" player anymore, …
  • Kyronix said: Once each shard has been published we will update the store.  All shards need to be running the same publish version in order for us to tinker with the store (hence why you don't see store items on the pre-release shards). T…
  • @Mariah Do you have any insight when they'll be re-added? I'm assuming with the new additions with tomorrows past -- but we know what they say about assumptions.
  • "Potion of Glorious Fortune Enhance your fortunes while participating in the Treasures of the Shattered Sanctum!"Confirmed on the homepage. @Whitewolf I don't see it currently in the store, for some reason. I think it's normally under MISC.
  • And to be clear -- I mean specifically with the invasion drop rate.
  • Yeah, seems like apply the t-map rules regarding chests to these chests would offer a fix. Still, I hope they also increase the spawn. 
  • I ran around on Origin to check out town invasions (I wasn't actively playing for those, except the very old ones). It seems - and I understand it's reported to be dynamic - that it could do with a higher spawn rate.
  • First, I request I actually get one as a drop -- but yeah, I think your request to make it animated makes sense.
  • Also, Treasures of the Archlich was in 2022. That's 2 years of having a super item that was huge in value. While I play Cats, the last set I saw for sale yesterday was asking something like 500 million gold. If they pause them again for a year plus,…

  • I went back and forth on the success of this event -- eventually leaning towards enjoying it. Now, I've used a total of three totems and gotten 3 special color mares (all 3-slot). I'll probably try some more. What I really wanted as the magical rift…
  • To me, by going to a play via browser version, this would be more of a downgrade. I also think the communication on this was poor, as that should have been clearly communicated from the start.
  • I thought allowing CUO would mean that we'd get access to a non-browser version. In fact, I had no idea it'd be implemented via browser. That's a huge disappointment.. As someone who uses the original client with UO-Assist, I wanted the higher frame…
  • I searched for this third party client after the announcement. Seems interesting and hopefully accomplishes what they set out to do with it.
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: Cooking needs a serious revamp. The buff foods need to last longer. Maybe make new tameable creatures require the Tamer to have specific bait food (crafted by Chefs) to tame them. That's a good idea. I personally don…
  • I'd like to be able to use custom graphics in the CC if the dev team is unable to update the graphics. I had suggested awhile ago a process to allow players to submit graphics, which I wonder if that could be an option.
  • For the last year, I've been going through what I can only describe as the most difficult period of my life. I don't mean that lightly, as I was medically retired from the USMC after being wounded multiple times on my last combat deployment -- what …
  • Good question. That'd be a nice addition as well
