COMMUNITY WARNING FOR ULTIMA ONLINE CREDIT CARD SUBSCRIBERS.
If you subscribe to UO with a credit card, you may want to make sure you updated your credit card information with the new "Chip Reading" credit cards, since most financial institutions are prematurely canceling "Striped Cards". This happened to me, and I thought nothing of it, because I use game time codes. However a good friend of mine almost lost his entire castle of rares because he didn't realize his credit card was cancelled, because it was a striped card. I know mine was cancelled about 6 weeks ago even though it expired 7/2020.
I apologize if this was already mentioned, but its important to bring to everyone's attention again. They almost lost everything they owned in UO, and I really hope this hasn't and doesn't happen to anyone else. I am emailing Mesanna about this today as well. It should be in the newsletter at least.

Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
They cancelled his card 90 days ago, and he didn't even know, cause he only used it for Ultima Online.
The credit card companies are sending out the chip reading cards to replace the striped ones, and those new cards have new numbers and expiration date and security codes on them. They sent me a chipped card in January which they requested I activate because they are discontinuing the striped cards. I never activated it since my striped still worked. However one day I go to use the striped and they cancelled my striped card in April even though it wasn't expired yet. They didn't even inform me. Same thing happened to my friend. They are forcing everyone to go to the chipped cards for some dumb reason. I think they can be tracked better to prevent fraud.
I've recently changed to Gametime codes because they're a lot cheaper than a CCA payment but I have noticed in the past that the billing system is very silent when it comes to a cancelled payment method.
One thing that would really help is an email that is sent out after the account is closed to verify that is the case. In fact; this should already happen and there shouldn't be a way to opt out of receiving those emails..
I get emails for each account on 1 master.
