Mesanna	thank you
York	Hello and thank you for your time,
Mesanna	Greetings York
York	I have a comment regarding new accounts and bringing completely new players to Ultima.
Kyronix	Evening!
York	I recently set up an account for a friend or well was.
York	Until I realized it would cost 125 dollars to set up an account with all the expansions
York	excluding the bonus storage and characters.
York	This I feel is far too much to pay to enter a new game and be current(able to hunt with the pla
York	Since this is a monthly subscription based game new accounts should
York	be able to hunt right along the vets from day they pay for the subscription.
York	I have a couple of friends that were interested in joining UO until they realized the startup costs
York	. I honestly cannot blame anyone for passing on a game that would have such a start costs and a
York	and a monthly fee.
York	Again thanks for your time and Have a nice evening.
York	That is all i have.
Mesanna	Actually we are kicking around giving all expansions up to SA
Mesanna	in the near future
York	It should be something to consider
Mesanna	along with a few other things we are working on
York	to help UO stay competative
York	Just consider it is all i ask
Mesanna	We have some ideas we are working on
Mesanna	that will be released later to everyone
Mesanna	*nods*
Mesanna	anything else?
York	That's pretty much all i got.
EM Bennu	When you are done, make sure you head to the teleporter.
Mesanna	ok thank you
EM Bennu	*smiles*
York	thank you too
Vixen	.Greetings Mlady, Sirs Welcome once more to Siege
MOSSY	An Lor Xen - Invisibility
Mesanna	Greetings Vixen
Vixen	I have a few (9) questions, the first is mine, the rest are from folks that are in Germany, UK
MOSSY	Des Mani - Weaken
Vixen	etc.. They asked that I relay their questions for them
Vixen	2001, The yr that the lands of Ilshenar were born. I am sure you know the history of those
Vixen	lands, but to this date we still cannot mark runes, nor gate to and from those lands,
Vixen	(recalling out is allowed on other shards) Is there any way that this can be fixed, maybe
Vixen	allow us to mark runes, gate in/out.
Mesanna	we are not changing the rules of Ilshnear
Vixen	*nods*
Vixen	The nexts are/was from Europe players that could not make it due to time zones;
Vixen	Can we have a smiliar crystal portal for illenshar dungeons/towns, too, like we have in eodon?
Mesanna	we will discuss it
Vixen	*nods*
Leawyn II	joined the party.
Vixen	Can we sail in illenshar, too, one time?
Mesanna	no boats there to many issues
Vixen	*nods*
Vixen	Can we have an update on Guild Menu, so we can see Alliance guilds and members online status, too
Mesanna	we can add that to the backlog of tasks
Vixen	*nods*
Vixen	Will it be possible one time, that a house plot can be left to north and west side?
Maire Cailin	joined the party.
Mesanna	no
Vixen	*nods*
Vixen	Can the bug with the eodon/myrmdex quest been fixed? you have swear alligiance to myrmdex
Mesanna	because of the spacing of houses
Vixen	and hand in all items to the tinkerer to get the quest for killing Zipartiotl, but you
Vixen	swear alligiance to the eodon in mean time, then the quest goes "poof" and get lost and
Vixen	even the items you handed in are lost. It should be possible to do both start quest and if
Vixen	you are ready for the "champ" then you should be able to apply for both bosses
MOSSY	In Vas Mani Hur - Cleansing Winds
Mesanna	one sec
Vixen	*nods*
Mesanna	trying to understand what you are asking
Kyronix	So you want to be able to load up the quest items before hand then pick which boss encounter
Kyronix	You get to do?
Vixen	that was thw question they asked
Mesanna	you want both at the same time going right
Kyronix	The idea is that you pick a side
Kyronix	So being able to do them both at the same time is kind of counter productive
Vixen	that was the question
Vixen	Not mine
Kyronix	But if we are misunderstanding the request
Kyronix	The person can feel free to email us
Vixen	*nods*
Vixen	When will we get a house or account search? We got these days a vendor search. - I would
Vixen	like to have that kind of search engine for my house or account, where i can search for and
Mesanna	umm
Mesanna	say that one more time
Vixen	sorry I hit the wrong thing on the list need to pull my listing again
Mesanna	oh thank god
Mesanna	cause that did not make sense
EM Bennu	hah
Crunch	Vas Zu - Mass Sleep
Crunch	In Vas Mani Hur - Cleansing Winds
Crunch	In Jux Sanct - Magic Reflection
Crunch	In Vas Mani Hur - Cleansing Winds
MOSSY	In Vas Mani Hur - Cleansing Winds
Vixen	like to have that kind of search engine for my house or account, where i can search for and
Mesanna	you mean items inside your house?
Vixen	it would bring up a map, like i got on vendor search. - And with the map i can open that
Vixen	yes
Vixen	items in house
Vixen	the questions
Vixen	was the one I was trying to say
Vixen	house
Vixen	seatch
Vixen	for item
Vixen	like vendor search
Mesanna	I don't know if that is even possible to be honest
Mesanna	if I understood the question correctly
Mesanna	let me check
Mesanna	you want a map of all the items in your house
Mesanna	like an inventory of where the items are?
Vixen	I have two more but I kn ow the others are restless so I will email them as well
Vixen	I than k you for your time
Mesanna	ok email me the questions
Mesanna	thank you
Vixen	I shall
Vixen	*waves*
Crunch	Hi!
Mesanna	Greetings Crunch
Crunch	So, this has been voted on on stratics several times, and its always a 50/50 split
Crunch	can we get VvV wearable artifacts reinstated?
Vixen	You have hidden yourself well.
Crunch	But there's been more than enough
Crunch	literally 20 page threads
Crunch	Is this something we can get a focus group for?
Crunch	We've all done that.
Crunch	8 months ago
Crunch	+
Crunch	up until now even
Crunch	I've personally sent at least 3 emails in the past month
Crunch	regarding it
Crunch	I can email again, but I feel like there has been more discusson on this topic than any other
Crunch	and it keeps coming up
Crunch	[email protected]
Crunch	what is your email address
Crunch	Just so you know, a lot of us feel as if this is just going to continue being ignored
Crunch	we need a focus group to revisit this
Crunch	an active discussion with you guys
Crunch	and an answer
Crunch	to finally end it
Crunch	That's all I got
Crunch	thanks.

Mesanna	Greetings Nightwolf
Kyronix	Hello!
Nightwolf	*bows*
Nightwolf	So I know Siege Perilous is the closest thing to it...
Nightwolf	But has there been any renewed interest in making a classic era (circa 1998) shard? Thank you.
Mesanna	To remove all the code
Mesanna	to make it classic
Mesanna	would be a disaster
Kyronix	If you can even get a consensus of what "classic" is
Nightwolf	agreed
Mesanna	and would it even be worth it for the number of people
Mesanna	see our point?
Nightwolf	I do, shame there is no changelist

Freja	fel bonus
Freja	+15% restst on magic loot and craftting
Freja	please just do something
Mesanna	As stated we are not against the artifacts but we just did what you guys asked
Mesanna	and not put it here
Freja	if all can use them it would be fine
Mesanna	so as stated earlier by Kyronix
Mesanna	send us your feedback
Mesanna	and we will act on it
Freja	then we do not have imbalance between VvV and not
Freja	as all can be attacked here

Freja	our consern was the balance
Freja	curced and no owner tag will do
Freja	and useable for all
Freja	add them to collections systems too
Mesanna	lol
Mesanna	we are not adding these to all shards
Mesanna	I can tell you this now
Freja	no
Freja	just Siege
Freja	lets have a focus group
Mesanna	we had a focus group for VvV on our internal forums
Freja	but now we know better
Freja	a lot changed their opinion
Kyronix	And one way or another someone is going to be disappointed with the outcome of the focus group
Kyronix	You can't please everyone
Kyronix	Then it turns into an assault that we didn't listen, that feedback was fallen on deaf ears
Kyronix	etc etc
Freja	no but at least give us Fel bonus, more luck then
Freja	we had several poll
Freja	on stratics
Freja	we want help

Mesanna	Look we understand you want change, but we can not give you special artifacts
Mesanna	for Siege only

EM Bennu	Teleporter if you are finished.
Mesanna	Greetings Mossy
MOSSY	Hi, VVV Items must be available on Siege, Town fights will be increased if points are hard to get.
MOSSY	There has to be benefits to PVP on siege
MOSSY	that is what this shard was based on from the get go
MOSSY	PROTECTION from other players or death
MOSSY	Introducing VVV items is important to allow PVP to have a chance
Mesanna	ok
MOSSY	What benefit do pvpers get for being good at PVP?
Kyronix	Not getting killed?
Vixen	I can't reach that.
MOSSY	?
Kyronix	You asked what benefit do pvpers get for being good at PvP
Kyronix	The answer is they don't get killed
MOSSY	Yes
Kyronix	They get the spoils of their victims
MOSSY	But when the victims have an entire map to hide on, its not 1999 anymore
MOSSY	when you could find players in every dungeon
MOSSY	Thats why VVV is important, make town fighting for PVP'ers
MOSSY	make it hard to get the Artifacts unlike other shards
MOSSY	if someone doesnt want to PVP they dont have to
MOSSY	and everyone is satisfied
MOSSY	If you want a trammel setting leave siege
MOSSY	WEll thanks for answering my questions.. with an OK..

EM Bennu	Silly players asking for carpets...
EM Bennu	Everyone knows hot air baloons are where its at.
EM Bennu	Right Kryonix?
Kyronix	Indeed!
Bahset	omg
Bahset	bennu didnt say that ...
Ter Yaap Art	Good evening
Mesanna	Greetings Ter Yaap
Misk	and Bennu died unexpectantly this evening while antagonizing Mesanna
Ter Yaap Art	1st item: Are you aware that city trade deals do not deducht the 2m from treasury?
EM Bennu	:D
EM Bennu	Thats my job sir.
Bahset	cannon fodder!
Kyronix	Had not heard about that
Kyronix	Did it happen here?
Ter Yaap Art	it happens here
Kyronix	Which City?
Ter Yaap Art	please turn itt back on
Ter Yaap Art	every city
Kyronix	We will investigate it
Kyronix	Thank you for the report
Ter Yaap Art	thank you
Ter Yaap Art	2nd item
Ter Yaap Art	cheating with the cc is big
Ter Yaap Art	just after a mandatory patch
Ter Yaap Art	no cheating for a day or two
Mesanna	yes easy UO has to catch up
Ter Yaap Art	have you thought about making a very little mandatory patch every other day?
Mesanna	lol
Ter Yaap Art	or every day?
Ter Yaap Art	just a 1k or 2 k patch?
Mesanna	I think its possible but I do not want to speak for the Engineer
Mesanna	not to patch but another solution
Ter Yaap Art	that would reduce cheatibng a lot
Mesanna	next question?
Ter Yaap Art	last one
Mesanna	k
Ter Yaap Art	in vvv would it be possible to make altars active all the time...like all altars active...so it would become a hold the beacon type of thing?
Ter Yaap Art	for an altar that is held by you your control bar increases
Kyronix	We tried that early on in testing and what you had was basically 3 people standing on each of
Kyronix	Their own altar
Kyronix	And not having any reason to fight each other
Kyronix	Hard to play king of the mountain when everyone gets their own mountain
Kyronix	*grins*
Ter Yaap Art	how about making the altar yours
Ter Yaap Art	till someone else claims it
Ter Yaap Art	that way you move around and try to claim more altars
Ter Yaap Art	Well thank you for your time
Mesanna	Thank you
Kyronix	Thanks for the feedback!
Leawyn II	Hail and welcome to Siege.
Mesanna	Greetings Leawyn
Leawyn II	Just wanted to say that
Leawyn II	The ONLY reason the VvV arties are being brought up again
Leawyn II	is because we got a guild from prodo, that openly admits to running every cheat in the book,
Leawyn II	and they are now looking for an easy button to get overpowered gear. Keep them turned off pls
Leawyn II	They affect everyone, not just PvPers. Balance gear in another way if needed please. Thanks.
Leawyn II	*takes a bow*
Mesanna	thank you
Kyronix	Thanks for the feedback
Mesanna	Greetings Igg
Igg A Pie	hail and well met
Igg A Pie	the doom turn in lanterns

Igg A Pie	thank you
Mesanna	actually we are going to fix that across all shards
Igg A Pie	great
Igg A Pie	thanks for your time
Talia	Howdy
Mesanna	Greetings Talia
Talia	I got some questions about resource gathering
Kyronix	Sure
Talia	first off, can we be done with the unnamed lobsters and crabs already?
Kyronix	Like lobsters and crabs in general?
Talia	well, that wouldn't be all bad, but no just the plain ones
Talia	that aren't needed for the fishing quests
Talia	you get an inordinate amount of them
Talia	they can be donated to the library, but....
Kyronix	The special lobsters and crabs aren't really special anymore if they are the only ones that can be
Kyronix	caught
Talia	they're kind of a deterent to doing fishing quests, at least for me
Talia	well they're not special per se, I mean, all species of life have classifications
Kyronix	This is true
Kyronix	I'm partial to lobsters
Talia	but you see what I'm gettin at
