Pitmuck Auction

Pitmuck

January 23rd, 2015 8pm EST

Pit muck hosted it’s first ever goblin run auction Friday night. It was considered a success and enjoyed by all. Governor Vic II of Minoc posted the following results:

Wednesday, January the 21st, our developers visited our shard for a meet and greet.  With great pleasure I’m able to share both the transcript but also pictures of the event.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Good evening Lake Austin

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Good Evening everyone

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hi Rasesar

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: good evening

 

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: seems you are our only question tonight

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: aye so i can ask a few questions

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: curious: can we get any spoilers on the next publish? date and what will be in it?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Our next publish is a bug fix

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but I will give you one hint to the one after

: [Crystal] Misk says: ONE bug fix…

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we are doing currency conversion!

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: nice!

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: will we be able to do large quantity trades in the trade window? 500M?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the rest will be revealed a little later

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes money will be transferred via trade window with a slide

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: fantastic!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Yes we feel its long over do

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok next question: I have been noticing lots of multiboxers at events and blatant cheaters.

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: are these being policed at all or is something being done?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I have answered this question every time

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: oh

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Its a matter of catching them macroing at this point

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: if the GM’s catch them unattended they will action them

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok so that’s interesting. you say “unattended”

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: the players may still be attended despite mirroring keyboard and mouse inputs across characters

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: this is illegal is it not? controlling multiple characters with single keyboard and mouse inputs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Since Supreeme put in the multi client option he opened the door to this

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the only way we can action anyone is to get them macroing

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: at this time

: [Crystal] Bleak says: attended play of multiple accounts is not illegal

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: what about using programs to mirror actions across clients

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: with “attended” keystrokes

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I will only say the only thing we can do is action against unattended macroing

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok so its legal. roger

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: last question

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: can I get my masks dyed 😀 after the m&g

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: depends on how late we are

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: depends too

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok cool thanks

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thanks =)

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: thank you all

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: have a good night

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: hi

: [Crystal] Garion says: Hello and welcome to LA. =)

: [Crystal] Garion says: I appreciate your visit and want to thank you all for so many years of fun

: [Crystal] Garion says: I have two questions.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Garion says: First, I know in the past you have talked about revamping the bod system.

: [Crystal] Garion says: at least as far as the rewards go. is there any thought to making it more point based…..

: [Crystal] Garion says: ….for turning in as some of the bods are rather not worth it to do?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: We’ve talked about that in the past

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Where you get to pick the reward based on an accumulated pool of points

: [Crystal] Garion says: right.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: That is certainly something we’ll look at when we take a look at the BoDs

: [Crystal] Garion says: *nods* this sort of relates to the issue I emailed you on Mesanna.

: [Crystal] Garion says: its still a problem

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm hun I get over 300 emails a day

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: can you be a little more specific

: [Crystal] Garion says: the one on the problem with incorrect bod rewards

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok

: [Crystal] Garion says: not sure if I should say it publicly

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: go ahead you started it =)

: [Crystal] Garion says: Ok. some of the tailor LBODs are producing incorrect and higher rewards than one should get.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You know the rates were changed in 2008

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: to improve the rates

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: they are not incorrect

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we did test this

: [Crystal] Garion says: yes but lately I have been getting a lot of barbed kits and 120 PS on things that historically

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: and all the test were found to be as design of the system

: [Crystal] Garion says: never gave them out

: [Crystal] Garion says: so I am not sure if that is intended.

: [Crystal] Misk says: In 2008-2009 we made changes to increase the odds of getting high end runic tools

: [Crystal] Garion says: which was why I emailed a few examples.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will review it again

: [Crystal] Garion says: its only in the last 4 months it seems to have been an issue for me

: [Crystal] Misk says: I got your bug report, investigated the issue and it is working as intended

: [Crystal] Garion says: ok.

: [Crystal] Garion says: 2nd question. for us fishers, is there any change lobster traps can be redone to be less labor?

: [Crystal] Garion says: similar to fishing poles at least.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Could you be more specific?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: why do you find it difficult

: [Crystal] Garion says: with fishing its cast and something comes up

: [Crystal] Garion says: with lobster traps its drop, wait a random time, and sometimes you get something.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will not change it to be like fishing

: [Crystal] Garion says: its rather labor intensive to do fishing vs crustaceans

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: this is how it works

: [Crystal] Garion says: could the traps be guaranteed to have something then?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: lol no we trashed the easy button

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: *grins*

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I find the best way to lay out a string of traps just like they do on Deadliest Catch

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Set your boat to go forward and put them out, then turn the boat around

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And pick them up

: [Crystal] Misk says: and hope you don’t fall overboard…

: [Crystal] Garion says: ok. thanks. =)

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thanks for your feedback

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Thank you

 

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: good evening lady mesanna and fellow devs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hello Veronica

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Good Evening

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i have a few questions

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: no there is not

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: next questions

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: er question

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: are there any plans to change the vendor system?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: can you be more specific

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and what i mean specifically is the ability to move our vendors within our homes to other spots

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and to drop say 1 million dollar cheques on them for maintenance

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: another player brought this up

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we found it to be an interesting idea that we are still discussing

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok we are doing away with checks

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: ok

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: with the currency conversion

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: alright very well but u may look into us being able to move our vendors?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm we are still talking about the best way to handle this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: question regarding abyss rewards

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: have they been toned back since pub 80?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: that is a very general question sorry

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: all the abyss rewards?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: loot on mobs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we have not toned anything back

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but if we have more information as to what you are asking we can answer it correctly

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: *That is not locked down*

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: well the artie drops have been fewer since pub 80 in the mini champ area

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You must be in your house to do that!

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: my macro excuse me

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we have not changed anything

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: final question from me mlady

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we can look into it but it was not intentional

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes?

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: any plans to revamp the outdated guild roster system ?

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: such as announcing guild or alliance members logging in and out?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Not at this time but I agree it needs to be done

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: one final question

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: I just remembered

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: sorry

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: any plans to implement a log system home owners can access to see who comes in and out?

: [Crystal] Bleak says: Good suggestion. I will add it to my list

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thanks you Veronica

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: that is all for now so others may ask.. thank you for your time Lady Mesanna

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and devs

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: for visiting LA

 

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Greetings Themis

: [Crystal] Themis says: Greetings.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Hello

: [Crystal] Themis says: Could we get an update on the high res graphics update for the EC? Could some examples be posted to UO.com?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: With the movement to Broadsword and one artist we have alot of other tasks we want done

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: until we can get some help that is a very slow process to update 1000’s of tiles

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: When we have something we will show it off I promise

: [Crystal] Themis says: What happened to the “quick way” talked about last year?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: It wasn’t good enough

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: it was only slight

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: after it was done

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: great try by Bleak though

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we all had our fingers crossed

: [Crystal] Themis says: Unfortunate.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: agreed

: [Crystal] Themis says: Those were my only questions. Thank you for your time.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: hi Helpaestus

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: evening, and thank you all for being here “after hours”

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Greetings

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: i will make mine pretty quick

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: there has been some discussion recently about maybe just adding a reward or two to ML peerleses

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: *on stratcis

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: just wanted to see what you guys thought of that idea – maybe a new artie like the crimson

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I’ve been watching the thread

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: to “refresh” old content

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Some great ideas, we have a list of bosses that definitely need a hard look at their loot

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Charybdis is a good example

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: So when and where we can, we’ll look to revitalize those encounters

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: not too much!

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: just a new reward or two would be good

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: thats all – and thanks for all you do!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thanks!

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: Good evening Mesanna, Kyronix, Bleak, Misk and

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: Johnny Ray aka Dregg aka Jacob and the unbelievable

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: nightmare resulting from the FIFA hack at EA/Origin.

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: I would like to ask when Broadsword plans on taking over

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: the Account Management and Origin Store?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Origin store is EA

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will never take over that store

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: maybe offer other ways in the future to buy items =)

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: also

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: through game?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the Account management is being redone as we speak by us

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: excellent

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: The last meeting we had on this I requested the ability for you guys to be able

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: to unlink accounts

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: and give them to other players

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: 😉

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: since I get that request alot

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: any eta or..?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I am hoping within a month

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but please do not hold me to it

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: its a mess to clean up

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: understood

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but we are trying to KISS it

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: and make it alot easier to navigate

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: hi Jahajx

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Good evneing Everyone

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: thank you for taking the time to talk to us

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Our pleasure

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Do you have any plans to expand on the role of governors? Because if not I have a few ideas.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: If you’ve got ideas you can feel free to email them over

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: We’re always open to new ideas

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: i will certainly do that. what email can i spam .. i mean .. use..

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: send it to me

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I will make sure the team gets it

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: what is your current address that we should use?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: [email protected]

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: broadsword

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: can’t type =P

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Attracting new players to the game. Any plans?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes we have plans

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: … … care to share ?

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says:

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: with the coming of Steam and adding a new player experience

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: that will benefit new and returning players

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Steam?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but as I said that is later this year

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes UO will be on steam

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: i guess i’d better go find out what steam is

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: as you know we have already greenlighted

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: lol

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: It’s a digital distribution platform

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: For PC games with 75 million users

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: that a good pool to pull from

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: It sure is!

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: something else that i thought of while Garion was asking questions..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Did Mento Seasoning etc ever become stackable?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Unfortunately I don’t think we can make that one stack

Mesanna: no we still have the gerbals

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: because it damn near broke my house last time i bought it.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I looked at it with the last publish when we made some items stackable

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: and it can’t be stackable?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And unfortunately they were implemented in a way that makes making them stackable

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Undoable

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: from a non programers perpsective it appears to be like any other resource.. can it be .. ..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: unimplemented..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: or .. it’s just completely a no go?

<26596035>Markus: steam does have its own client software dunno if they going that rout

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: We’d have to reimplment it completely

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: so you saying there’s a chance?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: no chance

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: sorry

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: doh

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: its a lot of work for only one item

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: that’s a shame

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: aye.. that I agree with..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: it just make fish pies almost uncraftable.

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Also, one last quick question. Do you intend to kill us all at any point this evening?

EM Augustus: *looks at Jov, thinks he is tempting fate*

: [Crystal] EM Augustus says: *looks at Jov, thinks he is tempting fate*

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm I can kill you now and get it over with if you want

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: I’ve never been able to attend your events before

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: so I’m not sure when the death happens

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: there you go

EM Augustus: Well then…

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: lol

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: about there

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: ah ..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: 17 years.. and you finally got me

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: *laughs*

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: hehe

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: is it possible to sign EM Augustus to a 50 year contact as our EM?

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: we kind’a want to keep him here

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: no I might get rid of him for being late tonight

EM Augustus: *raises eyebrow, he has already been stapled to the floor of Lake Austin*

: [Crystal] EM Augustus says: *raises eyebrow, he has already been stapled to the floor of Lake Austin*

EM Augustus: > <

: [Crystal] EM Augustus says: > <

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: we only used stables

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: have a good evening

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: you’re going no where

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: shoo =P

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Hello

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will be in the future

: [Crystal] LongHorn says: how so?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: No but I will let Bleak answer it

: [Crystal] Bleak says: No plans at this time

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we are going to turn them private if they go into OSI owned

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: nothing that would benefit IDOC’ers

: [Crystal] LongHorn says: any plans to add a PR person?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You see the PR people for UO

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Hail!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hi John

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Two things

: [Crystal] John Sally says: hail

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Is there anything going to be done with the stat lose to non VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: members?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: If you flag as a VvV participant

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: by attacking or healing a VvV player (orange)

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: You will suffer stat loss

: [Crystal] John Sally says: why?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Are you seeing something else?

: [Crystal] John Sally says: im confused

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we just wanna pvp

: [Crystal] John Sally says: not stat

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we would do factions

: [Crystal] John Sally says: hate stat

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Well without stat nobody ever wins a battle

: [Crystal] John Sally says: yes they do

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And it opens up all the problems we had with blue healers

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the losers do

: [Crystal] John Sally says: when they all die

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we shouldnt have to go in stat if we arent in VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and not in the battle ground

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we dont get the rewards

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we just want to fight

: [Crystal] John Sally says: everyone should be VVV then

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thank you for the feedback, but we have no plans to change that at this time

: [Crystal] John Sally says: ok….

: [Crystal] John Sally says: i guess we will all join VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: since it’s forcing us to.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: but ok i guess.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: now to idocs.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the system i understand is to stop scripters

: [Crystal] John Sally says: which if anything helps them

: [Crystal] John Sally says: last 10 idocs i have went to have dropped at 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] John Sally says: est

: [Crystal] John Sally says: so you follow idocs

: [Crystal] John Sally says: to decay state

: [Crystal] John Sally says: idoc

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and its 1-24hrs drop

: [Crystal] John Sally says: all drop between

: [Crystal] John Sally says: 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] John Sally says: only ones that are going are scripters

: [Crystal] Bleak says: That is not the intention. I will look into it

: [Crystal] John Sally says: they are setting up scripts

: [Crystal] John Sally says: that when

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the house drops

: [Crystal] John Sally says: chrs run in

: [Crystal] John Sally says: grab items

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and hold them there.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: so only one that this system is helping is scripters

: [Crystal] John Sally says: because no active player is waiting

: [Crystal] John Sally says: 1-24hrs

: [Crystal] John Sally says: in idoc state

: [Crystal] John Sally says: for house to fall

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: We said we would look into it, that is not our intention for it to drop only those hours

: [Crystal] John Sally says: which they all go from 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok John

<: [Crystal] John Sally says: please revist VVV also. that is very unfair.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Bleak will check the system

: [Crystal] John Sally says: thanks for your time.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Bleak says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Greetings Super

and  so ended a wonderful Meet and Greet

Here is the transcript of the Lake Austin Meet and Greet.  I’ve highlighted some of the major questions and answers

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Good evening Lake Austin

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Good Evening everyone

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hi Rasesar

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: good evening

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: seems you are our only question tonight

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: aye so i can ask a few questions

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: curious: can we get any spoilers on the next publish? date and what will be in it?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Our next publish is a bug fix

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but I will give you one hint to the one after

: [Crystal] Misk says: ONE bug fix…

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we are doing currency conversion!

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: nice!

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: will we be able to do large quantity trades in the trade window? 500M?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the rest will be revealed a little later

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes money will be transferred via trade window with a slide

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: fantastic!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Yes we feel its long over do

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok next question: I have been noticing lots of multiboxers at events and blatant cheaters.

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: are these being policed at all or is something being done?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I have answered this question every time

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: oh

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Its a matter of catching them macroing at this point

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: if the GM’s catch them unattended they will action them

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok so thats interesting. you say “unattended”

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: the players may still be atteneded despite mirroring keyboard and mouse inputs across characters

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: this is illegal is it not? controling multiple characters with single keyboard and mouse inputs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Since Supreeme put in the multi client option he opened the door to this

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the only way we can action anyone is to get them macroing

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: at this time

: [Crystal] Bleak says: attended play of multiple accounts is not illegal

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: what about using programs to mirror actions across clients

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: with “atteneded” keystrokes

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: I will only say the only thing we can do is action against unattended macroing

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok so its legal. roger

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: last question

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: can i get my masks dyed 😀 after the m&g

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: dependsw on how late we are

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: depends too

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: ok cool thanks

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thanks =)

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: thank you all

: [Crystal] Rasesar Wej says: have a good night

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: hi

: [Crystal] Garion says: Hello and welcome to LA. =)

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Greetings Governor =)

: [Crystal] Garion says: I appreciate your visit and want to thank you all for so many years of fun

: [Crystal] Garion says: I have two questions.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Garion says: First, I know in the past you have talked about revamping the bod system.

<9661671>Trinity: on Stratics http://uo2.stratics.com/posts/45663

: [Crystal] Garion says: at least as far as the rewards go. is there any thought to making it more point based…..

: [Crystal] Garion says: ….for turning in as some of the bods are rather not worth it to do?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: We’ve talked about that in the past

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Where you get to pick the reward based on an accumulated pool of points

: [Crystal] Garion says: right.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: That is certainly something we’ll look at when we take a look at the BoDs

: [Crystal] Garion says: *nods* this sort of relates to the issue I emailed you on Mesanna.

: [Crystal] Garion says: its still a problem

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm hun I get over 300 emails a day

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: can you be a little more specific

: [Crystal] Garion says: the one on the problem with incorrect bod rewards

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok

: [Crystal] Garion says: not sure if I should say it publicly

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: go ahead you started it =)

: [Crystal] Garion says: Ok. some of the tailor LBODs are producing incorrect and higher rewards than one should get.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You know the rates were changed in 2008

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: to improve the rates

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: they are not incorrect

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we did test this

: [Crystal] Garion says: yes but lately I have been getting a lot of barbed kits and 120 PS on things that historically

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: and all the test were found to be as design of the system

: [Crystal] Garion says: never gave them out

: [Crystal] Garion says: so I am not sure if that is intended.

: [Crystal] Misk says: In 2008-2009 we made changes to increase the odds of getting high end runic tools

: [Crystal] Garion says: which was why I emailed a few examples.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will review it again

: [Crystal] Garion says: its only in the last 4 months it seems to have been an issue for me

: [Crystal] Misk says: I got your bug report, investigated the issue and it is working as intended

: [Crystal] Garion says: ok.

: [Crystal] Garion says: 2nd question. for us fishers, is there any change lobster traps can be redone to be less labor?

: [Crystal] Garion says: similar to fishing poles at least.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Could you be more specific?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: why do you find it difficult

: [Crystal] Garion says: with fishing its cast and something comes up

: [Crystal] Garion says: with lobster traps its drop, wait a random time, and sometimes you get something.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will not change it to be like fishing

: [Crystal] Garion says: its rather labor intesive to do fishing vs crusteaceams

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: this is how it works

: [Crystal] Garion says: could the traps be guaranteed to have something then?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: lol no we trashed the easy button

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: *grins*

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I find the best way to lay out a string of traps just like they do on Deadliest Catch

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Set your boat to go forward and put them out, then turn the boat around

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And pick them up

: [Crystal] Misk says: and hope you don’t fall overboard…

: [Crystal] Garion says: ok. thanks. =)

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thanks for your feedback

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Thank you

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: good evening lady mesanna and fellow devs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hello Veronica

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Good Evening

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i have a few questions

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: first are there any plans to once and for all identify and decay all ownerless homes

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: no there is not

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: next questions

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: er question

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: are there any plans to change the vendor system?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: can you be more specific

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and what i mean specifically is the ability to move our vendors within our homes to other spots

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and to drop say 1 million dollar cheques on them for maintenance

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: another player brought this up

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we found it to be an interesting idea that we are still discussing

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok we are doing away with checks

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: ok

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: with the currency conversion

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: alright very well but u may look into us being able to move our vendors?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm we are still talking about the best way to handle this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: question regarding abyss rewards

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: have they been toned back since pub 80?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: that is a very general question sorry

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: all the abyss rewards?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: loot on mobs

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we have not toned anything back

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: but if we have more information as to what you are asking we can answer it correctly

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i wish to release this

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: umm

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: *That is not locked down*

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: well the artie drops have been fewer sionce pub 80 in the mini champ area

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You must be in your house to do that!

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: my macro excuse me

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we have not changed anything

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: very well

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: final question from me mlady

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we can look into it but it was not intentional

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: yes?

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: any plans to revamp the outdated guild roster system ?

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: such as announcing guild or alliance members logging in and out?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Not at this time but I agree it needs to be done

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: one final question

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: i just remembered

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: sorry

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: any plans to implement a log system home owners can access to see who comes in and out?

: [Crystal] Bleak says: Good suggestion. I will add it to my list

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thanks you Veronica

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: that is all for now so others may ask.. thank you for your time Lady Mesanna

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: and devs

: [Crystal] Veronica Mars says: for visiting LA

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Greetings Themis

: [Crystal] Themis says: Greetings.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Hello

: [Crystal] Themis says: Could we get an update on the high res graphics update for the EC? Could some examples be posted to UO.com?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: With the movement to Broadsword and one artist we have alot of other tasks we want done

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: until we can get some help that is a very slow process to update 1000’s of tiles

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: When we have something we will show it off I promise

: [Crystal] Themis says: What happened to the “quick way” talked about last year?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: It wasn’t good enough

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: it was only slight

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: after it was done

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: great try by Bleak though

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we all had our fingers crossed

: [Crystal] Themis says: Unfortunate.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: agreed

: [Crystal] Themis says: Those were my only questions. Thank you for your time.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: hi Helpaestus

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: evening, and thank you all for being here “after hours”

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Greetings

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: i will make mine pretty quick

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: there has been some discussion recently about maybe just adding a reward or two to ML peerleses

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: *on stratcis

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: just wanted to see what you guys thought of that idea – maybe a new artie like the crimson

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I’ve been watching the thread

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: to “refresh” old content

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Some great ideas, we have a list of bosses that definitely need a hard look at their loot

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Charybdis is a good example

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: So when and where we can, we’ll look to revitalize those encounters

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: not too much!

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: just a new reward or two would be good

: [Crystal] Hephaestus says: thats all – and thanks for all you do!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thanks!

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: I would like to ask when Broadsword plans on taking over

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: the Account Management and Origin Store?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Origin store is EA

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will never take over that store

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: maybe offer other ways in the future to buy items =)

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: also

: [Crystal] Longtoothz says: through game?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: the Account management is being redone as we speak by us

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: since I get that request alot

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: that a good pool to pull from

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: It sure is!

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: something else that i thought of while Garion was asking questions..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Did Mento Seasoning etc ever become stackable?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Unfortunately I don’t think we can make that one stack

Mesanna: no we still have the gerbals

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: because it damn near broke my house last time i bought it.

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: I looked at it with the last publish when we made some items stackable

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: and it can’t be stackable?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And unfortunately they were implemented in a way that makes making them stackable

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Undoable

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: from a non programers perpsective it appears to be like any other resource.. can it be .. ..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: unimplemented..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: or .. it’s just completely a no go?

<26596035>Markus: steam does have its own client software dunno if they goin that rout

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: We’d have to reimplment it completely

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: so you saying there’s a chance?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: no chance

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: sorry

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: doh

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: its alot of work for only one item

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: that’s a shame

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: aye.. that i agree with..

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: it just make fish pies almost uncraftable.

: [Crystal] Jahajx Jov says: Also, one last quick question. Do you intend to kill us all at any point this evening?

EM Augustus: *looks at Jov, thinks he is tempting fate*

: [Crystal] EM Augustus says: *looks at Jov, thinks he is tempting fate*

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we will be in the future

: [Crystal] LongHorn says: how so?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: No but I will let Bleak answer it

: [Crystal] Bleak says: No plans at this time

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: we are going to turn them private if they go into OSI owned

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: nothing that would benefit IDOC’ers

: [Crystal] LongHorn says: any plans to add a PR person?

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: You see the PR people for UO

: [Crystal] LongHorn says: *waves*

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Hail!

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Hi John

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Two things

: [Crystal] John Sally says: hail

: [Crystal] John Sally says: Is there anything going to be done with the stat lose to non VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: members?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: If you flag as a VvV participant

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: by attacking or healing a VvV player (orange)

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: You will suffer stat loss

: [Crystal] John Sally says: why?

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Are you seeing something else?

: [Crystal] John Sally says: im confused

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we just wanna pvp

: [Crystal] John Sally says: not stat

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we would do factions

: [Crystal] John Sally says: hate stat

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Well without stat nobody ever wins a battle

: [Crystal] John Sally says: yes they do

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: And it opens up all the problems we had with blue healers

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the losers do

: [Crystal] John Sally says: when they all die

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we shouldnt have to go in stat if we arent in VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and not in the battle ground

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we dont get the rewards

: [Crystal] John Sally says: we just want to fight

: [Crystal] John Sally says: everyone should be VVV then

: [Crystal] Kyronix says: Thank you for the feedback, but we have no plans to change that at this time

: [Crystal] John Sally says: ok….

: [Crystal] John Sally says: i guess we will all join VVV

: [Crystal] John Sally says: since it’s forcing us to.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: but ok i guess.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: now to idocs.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the system i understand is to stop scripters

: [Crystal] John Sally says: which if anything helps them

: [Crystal] John Sally says: last 10 idocs i have went to have dropped at 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] John Sally says: est

: [Crystal] John Sally says: so you follow idocs

: [Crystal] John Sally says: to decay state

: [Crystal] John Sally says: idoc

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and its 1-24hrs drop

: [Crystal] John Sally says: all drop between

: [Crystal] John Sally says: 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] John Sally says: only ones that are going are scripters

: [Crystal] Bleak says: That is not the intention. I will look into it

: [Crystal] John Sally says: they are setting up scripts

: [Crystal] John Sally says: that when

: [Crystal] John Sally says: the house drops

: [Crystal] John Sally says: chrs run in

: [Crystal] John Sally says: grab items

: [Crystal] John Sally says: and hold them

there.

: [Crystal] John Sally says: so only one that this system is helping is scripters

: [Crystal] John Sally says: because no active player is waiting

: [Crystal] John Sally says: 1-24hrs

: [Crystal] John Sally says: in idoc state

: [Crystal] John Sally says: for house to fall

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: We said we would look into it, that is not our intention for it to drop only those hours

: [Crystal] John Sally says: which they all go from 3-5:30am

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: ok John

<: [Crystal] John Sally says: please revist VVV also. that is very unfair.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Bleak will check the system

: [Crystal] John Sally says: thanks for your time.

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: thank you

: [Crystal] Bleak says: thank you

: [Crystal] Lady Mesanna says: Greetings Super

An Icy Investigation

Jhelom

January 21st, 2015

Strange things were afoot in Jhelom. Governor Scabby had found a path of icy patches leading from the Hand of Death Guild Hall in South/East Jhelom that led to a mysterious moongate. Scabby called in for reinforcement in case of danger. Many adventurers showed up including Lt. Governor of Jhelom Ozog, Governor Ivy of Vesper, Governor Vic II of Minoc, Governor Murdock of Britain, Governor Lauren of Moonglow,  Ashlyn of Cove, Nanoc, Red Snapper, Giggles, Nubby, OC,  Sparrow and others. Governor Pheonix could not make it but sent her Alchemist, Walt, to assist.

The group noticed  that Jhelom’s temperature, which was normally hot and humid, seemed to be cooling off and the ice did not appear to be melting. Walt analyzed the ice to determine that it was made up of some sort of magical essence and had an oily substance to it. They followed the trail to the mysterious moongate which had ice seeping out of the bottom of it. There was a strange force field protecting the gate and not letting anyone through it. Walt the Alchemist warned everyone to stand back, if anyone were to get some of the icy substance on their skin, they would become delirious and would eventually become paralyzed.

The group weighed their options and chose to go in search of clues to the origin of the mysterious moongate and the ice. They quickly gated to Dagger Island, locally referred to as Ice Island. Walt took some samples, while the ice was similar to that of Jhelom, it lacked the magical essence and oily texture. Governor Scabby noted that he was getting a strange feeling that they were being watched, and Walt informed the group that he had come across some readings that suggested that the ice may have originated in Tokuno.

The group quickly departed and traveled to Winter Spur on Isamu-Jima Island in Tokuno. As soon as they arrived to a location right outside of Winter Spur, they were attacked by Ronins which the group quickly dispatched. They traveled into Winter Spur and were immediately attacked by Ice and Snow Elementals. A large battle ensued and eventually the Lady of the Snow attacked. Things were rough but the group prevailed and Walt was able to get his samples.

Walt inadvertently touched some ice identical to that near the moongate and quickly became delirious. He left the safety of the group and wandered out of Winter Spur and was quickly attacked by Rune Beetles and Evil Mages. A rescue party was formed and Walt was saved from danger. Exhausted, the adventurers left and regrouped in PaxOku to review the finding and implications. They decided to get some rest and plan a visit to Kos Heb West in The Lost Lands and into Ice Dungeon to see if they can find any answers there.

Chesapeake Governor’s Council Meeting

Blackthorn’s Castle Council Room

January 18th, 2015 6:00 pm EST

The Chesapeake Governor’s Council Meeting started out like any other, the King discussed ongoing issues in the Kingdom, the governor’s discussed events in their cities, onlookers looked on with keen interest or slept noisily. When all of a sudden, out of thin air, black specters appeared. They were quickly dispatched by the governors and onlookers. While the King and governors discussed the incident, trying to figure out how they got through the magic enchantment defenses, an unknown figure appeared. The King recognized the voice and was distraught on the implications.

The unknown stranger moved dangerously close to the King!! The governors quickly surrounded him in a defensive posture, hoping to protect him from danger.

The King soon discovered that he was correct on who the voice sounded like…Nystul!!

Nystul’s image faded in and out as he spoke, at one point he assumed the form of a former man named David. King Blackthorn tried desperately to keep Nystul from fading, even working some magic of his own.

As quickly as he appeared and in the same manner, he disappeared in a huge flash of flames and  a loud explosion!

The King and governors are left with many questions as they try and ponder what happened and the message Nystul was trying to convey. Hopefully we will learn more at next month’s Chesapeake Governor’s Council Meeting.

CHESAPEAKE SHARD DIRECTORY

  The citizens of Catskills were treated to an event that has become very rare
in our fair land.

 On Sunday January 11th, a wedding was held in Minoc near the town hall..

 King Blackthorn himself officiated the ceremony as Inkboy the Wild
and Eramis the Archer exchanged vows in the presence of the Lords and
Ladies of Sosaria.

 The event had a festive air, and formal attire was requested by the wedding
party. It was easy to see that people were only too happy to dress up…
as occasions to do so are rare these days.
 
 After the lovely ceremony I mingled with the crowd and got some pictures
of some of the more resplendent of the finery being displayed.

 

 

  All in all it was a splendid affair to chase off even the most persistent
wintertime doldrums. Lets all hope that as our Catskills population continues
to grow, we’ll see more of these happy celebrations.
