  • Bilbo said: Theo said: FIrst off for runebooks you people need to start using Atlas's instead that hold 4x the runes. NO because like Rune Books you can only have 1 default set.  I carry 2 min Rune Books per char 1 for home and 1 for…
  • Jepeth said: I also am waiting to see how the book strap works on the TC, but indeed will be very disappointed if it's locked behind the vet reward mechanic. Those will be super useful to all players but especially mages who are toting around…
  • Goldie said: sorry forgot to ask, which year will these vet rewards be attached to, and can only people with that year be able to use them? TY On a side note - where is the newsletter?  Can't find it on this site.  Only see a newsletter a…
  • Here is another example - collections.  One of the m sought after collection reward is mace and sheild glasses.   Warrior CollectionBuckler    9 points Battle Axe 9 pointsBook       3 points Mace and Shield Glasses  800k points to claim Breakdown …
  • Thank you for the reply.  I am surprised that changing the mods on some of the doom items would be difficult. Is that the case?  I think that would be one of the best places to start because honestly almost all of those rewards are useless.   Examp…
  • Best way to fix it is replace the house with a plot of equal size an hour after the fall. The plot works like an auction - the highest bidder after 1 day gets it like an auction safe.   Hear me out : This is already happening on ATL by house placers…
  • Cookie said:Maybe all those players should not have moved to Atlantic? It is clear and obvious a database can ever only hold so much, and you've all overloaded it. Sorry. Can’t let this one go.  UO is not reaching the limits of database stora…
  • Here are potential solutions  :   1: Sting operation. Have a dev buy from the sites. When someone comes on to deliver the goods - ban that account. Perma. I would bet they aren’t storing all these sale items on an EJ account.   2: Better chat bloc…
  • The whole problem with vendor search is too many searches are doing a text string search against the Database.  They need to fix VS to cover more things with filters.  Why do the filters work? Because those are indexed fields.   Indexes in databases…
  • I wont say communications are non-existant but they are very very few and far in between.  This game has needed a good focus group from day 1.  There are plenty of lofty things I'd like to see done but some simple things would go a long way: 1 - B…
  • Tamers don't need nerfs. Its fine.  The person running 5 accounts is paying for 5 accounts.  Its fine.  Its not overpowered. I went to Atlantic and had no problem getting items on my single character with 75 swords.  I'll bet you I get more than one…
  • Yes I forgot to mention what Pawain brought up - bank balance is now per account per shard - not per toon.  So if each toon had 1M gold before and you have 5 your balance just shows 5 million and all toons can access it.  Everyone can steal your tam…
  • Main fix for vendor search is this : Add filters for 'PowerScroll, Alacrity Scroll, Trans Scroll, Token'Then for above you can select the type and then say 'magery' as skill and results are super fast because those two are indexed fields - This will…
  • Inside your play folder there is a folder for every shard and then every toon on every shard.  If you copy the files from one folder to the other - you will get the same screen setup.  The only wierdness if you need to edit the config file and updat…
  • Few comments Seems like all vendor items should be put in a RDBMS when put up for sale then there is no 'updating' its the only place this data lives real time.  For searches - they have categories to select rings, braces, helmets etc - why not a…

  • I'd like to at least sort alphabetically.  Then when I'm looking for 'sleeves' they are all togetehr instead of all over the book. Paging 50 times to find sleeves is no fun. (10 per page - 500 bods)
  • You need to read up on training pets and how to use the crazed mage. There is a single spawn of one in shame  near the unbound vortexes.  They can kill you pretty quick.  You need to get your pet on it and turn on skill gain. They will gain insanely…
  • Marge said: Actually, gaining by taming makes perfect sense for a skill called animal TAMING. To gain points for fighting with the pet, the skill would need to be called animal TRAINING. Not that I don't think it would be nice to get gains th…
  • Sell full spellbooks on mage vendors for 75k. If you want to make and sell cheaper - fine - but 75k is easy to make in 30 min even for a new player and solves the problem.  Maybe in the early days this was fun - but no one has fun making spellbooks.…
  • Annoying isn't it? Magery vendors should sell full mage, necro, spellweave, myst spellbooks for 75k each.  If someone wants to make them and sell cheaper - fine - but no  one in this game is making a living off sell spellbooks.    It sucks that you …
  • I would be happy if you got a chance at taming skill gain by commanding your pet or when you pet successfully kills something.  As it stands - the only way to gain taming is tame new pets. Thats not playing a tamer. Playing a tamer is hunting with s…
  • popps said: McDougle said: just make it so EJ account cannot post in general ... he makes ej accounts or must as i have 12 avatar2 blocked...if they are paying accounts would be easy to ban him I do not see why legit players wh…
  • Damn thats so sad.  Must be a bi-product of the IDOC roll out.  90 days after it was rolled out these houses hit the decay cycle. Oops. 
  • I kinda hate 'shard bound' items unless they are consumables. As a vet with shard shields - it takes a lot of effort to build a suit and if some of the items cannot shard transfer then where does that leave me to hop and explore other shards?  If yo…
  • Or don’t buy any homes from him. Pretty easy to blacklist. At some point he won’t want to pay for 40 accounts to hold houses no one is buying.   Glad I don’t play ATL. Just sell junk there and take gold home.  I agree that one of the fun things in g…
  • Loriel is correct. They created naming packages whereby a particular named item will get a package of mods.  Like wizardry adds Lrc lmc int mana etc.  The idea was twofold - first make items more useful so that it has all casting or all fighting mod…

  • Feels like they are notably absent just turning on old events to keep people busy with no real progress.  Not really understanding what is going on. Most people can work from home in the tech space and things are going gangbusters for other gaming c…
  • Can’t believe I’m going to agree with popps but I do.  The weapons are generally trash. A few high mods but most dexers are samplers. We need whirlwind weapons and AI weapons with speed. The stuff these invasion mobs drop are trash. I don’t care wha…

  • You aren't alone.  It is by far the WORST account management system of all time.  You have a Mythic Account. An Ea Account.  A UO account and three different log ins to do different things at different levels.   Its absolutely insane.  Just trying t…
