  • Honestly I don't care one way or the other about IDOCs every since they destroyed all the vet rewards and resources (those are the only things I'd really go for - I don't care about EM rewards). That said, for the people asking for a raffle; be care…
  • Well shiver me timbers! This will save me some time going forward! Thank you
  • LilyGrace said: I hates it so much. This is so much worse than when someone doesn't like different foods to touch on their plate. Not being able to organize this mess is painful. It, for me, kinda sucks the fun out of playing pirate and l…
  • Petra_Fyde said: I can give you an ethy, don't need to 'magic' that up.  Kids are so privileged this days.... back in my day I had to run up hill to the Britain graveyard (both ways!) to find a horse to try to tame until my account turned 3…
  • Unfortunately @Theo the only work around I've had work is using FireFox. It's been happening for over a year now where Chrome won't keep me logged in. Haven't had any issues with FireFox but it is frustrating that we cant just use a single app.
  • ScamNews said: @ Mesanna @ Kyronix Why not make books and runes decay in few secs?That will solve soooo many problems! Noooooo! This is where my old school UO player kicks in... I take runes off the ground in Luna and use them to rema…
  • Lord_Frodo said: LMAO  There is no way they will cast the same spell all at the SAME time your toggling will cause a delay from one client to the other I do not care how fast you think you are. I'm not talking about the same spell with…
  • Ah ok - I've never used it as I barely ever use EC so I wasn't really sure what Pinco's was; only that lots of people use it and UO didn't create it.
  • Mariah said: Multiboxing involves using a program to allow one keyboard/mouse to control multiple characters to do the same thing at the same time. if F5 is the hotkey to cast ebolt at current target, then all controlled characters will do t…
  • This newsletter seems purposefully light on the details but good to see NL seems to be on track and that we soon be getting the rest of pub 117 on TC1 soon. I did have a few thoughts/observations on the newsletter: Piecing the timeline together, we …
  • There were 46 accounts actioned in Feb for multiboxing so it's something they will take action on if you are caught but that number could also include the 35 accounts that were macroing or they could be all EJ accounts. I think there are varyi…
  • Might be an old EM/event that was never cleaned up. I saw a named red sea creature on ATL shard maybe 2-3 years ago when out sailing in Tok (can't remember the name); it had lots of mana (did good damage) and had very high HP... I took a pic and pos…
  • shootgun said: What do you guys think? I am not sure if adding new recipes are challenging coding wise, but if not it would be awesome bonus to crafters with little challenge. I like the idea of new recipes/craftables, but I think adding n…
  • Pawain said: Now is a great time to set up and practice. This is good advice for anyone thinking they want to participate in any sailing parts of the event. It certainly took me a few hours to find where I stashed all my ship/cannon stuff…
  • Pawain said: We did this event when beacons came out.  Did you have problems then?  We did it again when new items were added to the black market, did you have trouble then? They said they can't increase the spawn already.  So you think p…
  • Cookie said: I heard scripters are scared of the water and will not go near it. Don't want this thread to go too far off topic since I know scripting could be it's own thread but while I know you are being sarcastic I think some people …
  • Mariah said: I do wonder why there is so much consternation over the sea-based combat. Why do you believe it will be so much worse than the Rising Tide event that first introduced us to beacons? I don't want to get too far off the origina…
  • psycho said: What surprises me is that there are some places in the waters beacons and ships spawn alot, then there are other huge wastelands of ocean where nothing spawns at all. Maybe update the spawn locations abit, throw in some more boat…
  • Mariah said: The Devs recognised that several doom arties needed a boost. They introduced recipes that allow them to be upgraded. This was a great move by the Devs to do this and it's something I wish they would consider doing again for D…
  • Tarragon_Slayer said: To fill the Gypsy BoD, you have to craft footwear, bandanas, shirts and skirts. In the past, this was never a problem for me. However, I'm 60+ now and my eyesight is slowly deteriorating. So much, in fact, that it's beco…
  • Understand where you are coming from Cookie and I'll default to you (and others like Covenent) on what's what for PvP but from what I've seen/read there really isn't any such thing as a "pure" PvP mage anymore. I think they probably went out of styl…
  • I'm assuming he's speaking about items that you can get on a semi-regular basis (although rune beetle carapace doesn't spawn so maybe not?). That said, the halo was left out and the shadowguard mage weap with -0 mage skill (Balaki Staff I think) was…
  • shootgun said: Grimbeard said: There will be 50 + people at sea on Atlantic activity sailing its gonna be an issue no clue about your beetle comment? I sincerely hope that this event will have a land invasion part. The more I thin…

  • Kyronix said: Alpha signups are currently closed - we haven't released anything on beta yet.  I haven't re-read the transcript but if beta was said, alpha was intended. It is definitely easier for us to implement dynamic events, however we'v…
  • shootgun said: Kyronix said: I will say that our ability of increasing ship and plunderbeacon spawn is pretty limited.  There’s only so much ocean and we’ve run into this bottle neck before.  That being said there will be multiple path…
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: Soon after i got a Villa right at the Brit GY. Then when Tram opened up, i placed a Log Cabin in the same spot with another account. Here's the spot. What shard was that? If it was ATL then we were probably neighbo…
  • Overall I think the Dev team did well dealing with some trolls during the M&G and answered some questions differently than I'd have expected so kudos for those things. Few call outs: 1) When/where was the signup announcement for Beta on UO.com (…
