Archangel said: we should try the limiting them to only play on EC and take it from there The current EJ account abusers will love that approach. How long do you think it will take to adapt? Follow the link I posted above.

It's quite common to have EJ players doing roof (time of legends expansion). They paid for that, so taking it away seems problematic. So you board a guild mates Orc ship as an EJ, with high seas, what happens when the ship goes too far from new ha…

It's likely not practical to limit EJ to just new haven. What would you do about EJ accounts that paid for the Time Of Legends and High Seas expansions? It's a bit too limited of an experience, and likely hard to implement (I can imagine saying "…

Keep in mind that Broadsword, and the GM's likely already know if EJ accounts are the root source of many issues. They would know from observing scripters, responding to abuse reports, and generally watching what's happening at FEL spawns, etc --…

Go take a look over here: https://forum.uo.com/categories/bugs There are so many issues posted there that seem a higher priority... Some people have even taken the time to propose what the fixes look like. Curbing EJ accounts seems a much higher …

PlayerSkillFTW said: For all the egg scripting that i see going on on Napa, there's actually very few Ingots or reward items for sale on VS, which is telling me that the bulk of the eggs are being shipped off to Atlantic somehow (that's…

TimSt said: I think you are missing the point. Unlike the other things that can block, hay is bought on the spot where you want it drop. Even in a spot you can not drop the other items such as behind doors where even circle of transparency do…

In theory , the GM's may have banned or otherwise disciplined some players. They really don't need to be on 24/7 to do that. Odds are, its just a small number of underlying human players behind this. Again, I don't see how changing the quantity o…

TimSt said: @ Kyronix and @ Mesanna please limit the number of Sheaves of Hay that can be sold by Farmers. Some players are getting the farmers to sell up to 999 sheaves, buying that, then dropping it in piles in the farmhouses to block othe…

Hay is generally flammable, so it's curious why firefields and wildfire couldn't be used to efficiently remove it from the game world. Notice the barrels in the underwater keying phase -- they can be targeted and are highly susceptible to Flamestri…

Limiting the # items sold is a whack-a-mole style approach to the issue. At the root of the issue, is likely usage of EJ accounts during this event cycle. I'd rather see some systemic curbs be put on EJ accounts: EJ accounts can no longer be in F…

Unequip your weapon. Unequip your shield. Equip your shield. Verify the "parry chance %" is not stated on the shield. Approach a dragon, keep a distance. Ensure you are not getting hit by any other critters. Wait to get hit by a fireball. Note wh…

Enable timestamps in the chat log in EC. Create a macro that spams your favorite spells. Note the timestamps in the EC log when the spell casts, to derive the actual delay time.

Try using a crystal ball of knowledge to discern the difference between lesser slayer and super slayer effectiveness on a dragon. Consider using a lesser slayer dragon slayer instrument while using the discordance mastery on the dragon. Note wheth…

It's clear the destard dungeon spawn and drop rate is poor at this point. The artifact drop rate is terrible compared to prior dungeon events, I'd say it's now about 1/10 the drop rate, using the same character vs. prior dungeon events. Several pe…

Running games as admin is crazy. For UO, you can change the permissions on the UO install directory to give yourself write access. (you'll need to elevate to admin once to change the perms).
-
Absent a code change from the developers, the EM can advertise the exact X,Y coords of the gate, and/or stay behind a couple minutes near the gate, etc.

The volume of the spawn needs to be increased significantly. It should look more like stage 1-2 of any champ spawn. The respawn delay needs to be decreased significantly. It seems the min-max respawn delay has been changed globally, it also seems…

Have to be pragmatic... how long have you been waiting for it to be fixed? There's a work-around for this one, unlike with other issues. You've asked for a "vet reward exchange guy", so you seem to be OK just taking some other item instead... One…
-
My suggestion is use EC, and arrange your spellbooks near the bottom of your nice grid oriented backpack. They stay in those slots, so long as you don't unequip/move other items into those spots. That saves one inventory slot (no strap). Sell the…

Perhaps these are people trying to stop the scripters getting eggs? They may have tried other techniques and those failed?

Perhaps the 2018 bug report did not include enough information to identify and fix the issue. Perhaps this will help: gwen has a platemail gloves, typeID 5144, that does NOT alter to gargish kilt typeID 16468 gwen has a platemail gloves, typeID 5…

There may be issues with altering items that face the "wrong" direction (left facing vs. right facing). Do your crafted gloves that alter OK face the same direction as these that fail?

The fey slayer doing 3x damage has been documented that way for years. What's actually strange is the ML slayers, like bat slayer, and others that only affect a few creatures each, are classified as 2x super slayers, instead of 3x lesser slayers. …
