KHAN	Hail Mesanna

Mesanna	hi
Dezerai	Good Evening
Dezerai	My questions deal with Mage Tower of Moonglow 73' 3N 133' 15W
Dezerai	and the Community Hall of Brit 8' 6N 12' 29E, both in Trammel
Dezerai	In 2005 the Sonoma's Shard Tower of Sorcery was build by the Sonoma Community and
Dezerai	EM Masara, it had several features within it.
Dezerai	One of those special feature is missing today and we like it back please.
Dezerai	Varsuvious, the Green Sea Dragon stable master, has been missing since the
Dezerai	birth of the animal training quest.
Mesanna	there is not a EM Masara
Mesanna	whatever they did is before us
Dezerai	can we get the sea dragon back?
Mesanna	I have some emails and I can replace the stablemaster
Dezerai	thanks you
Dezerai	The other question and my last deals with the Brit Community Hall and the contest that
Mesanna	welcome
Dezerai	was started by our former EM to redo the the deco inside it since its been bare to walls
Dezerai	since from the time before our last EM.
Dezerai	Several of us sent in picures from TC1 for that contest.
Dezerai	Will there be a chance to complete this contest later?
Mesanna	I have no clue what contests the last EM did
Mesanna	sorry
Dezerai	thank you
Dezerai	I have more but I am sure others here would like to ask questions and
Mesanna	We have another one training
Dezerai	I will wait for the day when we get another EM to ask my questions
Dezerai	concerning the cities at our Governor Meetings.
Dezerai	Thanks for all you done, I love the new taming, and all I can say is good job!
Mesanna	thank you
Dezerai	Good Evening
Dezerai	thank you
KHAN	Hail. Thank you for taking your time to be here. I look forward to the party!:)
Mesanna	me too
Mesanna	lol
Mesanna	its alot of planning
KHAN	My question is about imbueing
Mesanna	ok
KHAN	any chance for an upgrade espec. with regard to jewels
KHAN	to compete with the greater/nicer loot
Mesanna	we are not looking at redoing Embuing at this time
KHAN	ah, ok
Mesanna	we have other plans for the rest of the year
Mesanna	Imbusing
Mesanna	crap
Mesanna	imbuing
KHAN	lol
Mesanna	I can't type tonight!!!
KHAN	lol
KHAN	i hunt and peck
KHAN	ty for the response
Mesanna	welcome
KHAN	see y'all in sept
Mesanna	ok
Thor	Hi all
Mesanna	hi
Thor	thanks for coming
Thor	my question is: ANY chance EM drops and such will be made shard bound?
Mesanna	I doubt that, to many people would scream
Thor	hmm, but it might cut down of hmm, unlawful acts
Mesanna	some things are being done though
Mesanna	there are other ways
Thor	ah
Thor	ok lastly
Thor	what about multiboxing
Mesanna	what about it
Thor	is it allowed or not?
Thor	I hope not
Mesanna	If you are using multiboxing to macro it is not allowed
Thor	it takes a 3rd party program
Mesanna	and we will catch you
Mesanna	its not a third party but it doesn't take that
Thor	so, if you are using a 3rd pary program you are a no og
Mesanna	its a switch
Thor	ah
Thor	but not allowed correct?
Mesanna	of uou are running multiboxing via a kvm switch and there to answer our questions
Mesanna	we will not stop you
Mesanna	but if you are not there and you are unattended macoroing
Mesanna	we will suspend your accounts
Thor	wow! just wow
Thor	so you are saying multiboxing is ok:(
Thor	i understand
Mesanna	we can not detect the switch
Mesanna	yes we can see it
Thor	it has driven MANY ppl away from the game ;(
Mesanna	they are running it in almost every game out there these days
Mesanna	its hard to detect
Thor	hmm, ok i expected as much
Thor	:(
Mesanna	once we opened the door4
Mesanna	door to multi clienting
Thor	it is slowly killing this game
Mesanna	we opened the door to this
Thor	completely different
Thor	each char operates seperatly
Mesanna	ok I am not going to argue this tonight
Mesanna	sorry
Thor	multiboxing, hiy 1 key they ALL move
Mesanna	so you have any other questions?
Mesanna	I know how its run
Thor	ok whatever ty
Mesanna	thank you
Clym of  Clough	Hi folks, great to see you on our fine shard.
Mesanna	Hi
Mesanna	Nice to be here
Clym of  Clough	Could we please get the city buffs to expire at server down instead of some very hazardous time that we have forgotten?
Mesanna	its a valid suggestion
Mesanna	Kyronix is on vacation but we will bring it up to him when he returns
Clym of  Clough	We have no way knowing when it will expire except our memory and mine ain't so good anymore
Clym of  Clough	thank you
Clym of  Clough	also then, would it be possible to have 50 stone items removed from treasure chests
Mesanna	why?
Clym of  Clough	it bogs us down if we take all the stuff out of the chest
Mesanna	That is one of the neg items
Clym of  Clough	ok, understand, thank you
Mesanna	its totally random
Mesanna	thank you
Clym of  Clough	and I hope to see you at the party also
Mesanna	wonderful
Mesanna	Hi
Morgana Grim	hello all, quick taming questions
Morgana Grim	are there any plans to make battle chickens trainable?
Mesanna	one sec
Mesanna	we had to remove them due to the coops
Mesanna	the coops they are stored in removes several of the stats
Morgana Grim	ah I understand
Mesanna	so we had to remove them
Morgana Grim	makes sense thank you
Morgana Grim	one more please
Mesanna	welcome
Mesanna	ok
Morgana Grim	any plans to make starting pets that are 5 slot like greaters able to train their stats and resist
Mesanna	you mean above 5 slots?
Mesanna	there are 4 slot gr dragons
Mesanna	they are just hard to find
Morgana Grim	no, I have some crappy rated greaters that I like but resists are low
Mesanna	sorry we have no plans to redo that at this time
Morgana Grim	ok thank you, I'll go on the hunt for a 4 slotter:)
Mesanna	ok they are there
Mesanna	good luck
Morgana Grim	thank you!
joyce	with new training we took them to navery almost a week and stayed for 3 to 4 hours and no
Mesanna	hi
joyce	drops at all
Mesanna	drops are totally random there
Mesanna	we can look into navery to make sure they are dropping
joyce	maybe broke then
Mesanna	chance is as low as 4%
Mesanna	to the top attacker
joyce	ok
Mesanna	make sure you have room in your packs
joyce	ok
Mesanna	because if you don't they are deleted
Mesanna	we might want to change that though
joyce	ok
Mesanna	thanks for reminding us!
Cinderella	Good Evening
Mesanna	hi
Cinderella	thank you for the pet revamp
Cinderella	we have been having fun with the new pets
Mesanna	wonderful
Mesanna	we are glad to hear it
Cinderella	I was wondering about the elections since we have no EM
Cinderella	will it stop the city buff
Cinderella	if no governor
Mesanna	We are training a new EM for Sonoma
Cinderella	how long will that take
Mesanna	was the EM assigning governors?
Cinderella	no but they had to confirm us
Mesanna	up to the person as to how long they take to learn
Mesanna	confirm you?
Mesanna	they shouldn't
Cinderella	they did me the last time, not sure why
Mesanna	then the stone is messed up if that happen
Mesanna	for elections its all automatic
Cinderella	thank you all for your hard work
Mesanna	unless the EM is removing or adding a governor

Mesanna	hi
LKatana	hello my lady
LKatana	so got a couple for you today
LKatana	one is a simple paper work thing in the nuw rune books
LKatana	ive had to fix say a blocked rune
LKatana	but because you cant use like the seed box insert seed
LKatana	you have to dump every rune from the book
LKatana	to put the rune back
Mesanna	you want to be able to sort runebooks?
LKatana	ya like a move up or move down like on the magincia vendors
Mesanna	we have that on our list
LKatana	that way you can move the runes around the book
Mesanna	it has been requested a few times
LKatana	cook
LKatana	cool
LKatana	lol cant type tonigh eather
Mesanna	welcome to my club
LKatana	the other one is a mini set of pet questions
LKatana	the blue beetles when hitting level five are letting you train again but you cant
LKatana	gain any because already 5
LKatana	the other issues ive hit is when adding stats and such to pet say a lvl 3 pet
Mesanna	its just the blue beetles?
LKatana	it jumps to lvl 5 on one training skipping the lvl 4
LKatana	its the one ive found but gen chat says runes doing it to
Mesanna	ok we will look into this
Mesanna	we were not aware of it
LKatana	so thats the bug?
LKatana	and the other is the jumping over levels
LKatana	a friend had a phieoix
LKatana	go from 3 to 5
LKatana	when she added just resists and hit points
LKatana	thus making it so she could not train it again
LKatana	is that a bug
LKatana	ir intended
LKatana	or intended
Mesanna	one sec talking
Mesanna	we are discussing this
LKatana	cause i thought a pet would only go up 1 control slot at a time per training
LKatana	had a iron beetle do it to
Mesanna	ok
Mesanna	we will look at it
Mesanna	we think we know why its happening
LKatana	also had a pet go up a control slot
Mesanna	yes it should only go up one slot at a time
Mesanna	so that is a bug
LKatana	when out fighting with it
LKatana	went from a 1 to a 2 when just out hunting with it and its dex and such went up
Mesanna	*nods*
LKatana	is that a bug to
Mesanna	yes
Mesanna	its the same issue
LKatana	cool well not cool but cool its a bug
LKatana	that can be worked on fixing
Mesanna	lol
Mesanna	yes we have it listed now
LKatana	if a pet does that jump is it fixable by a gm
Mesanna	Bleak will look into it
LKatana	or do we have to wait for patch
Mesanna	nope
Mesanna	Bleak has to fix it
LKatana	well i have tuns more but think ive taken enough of your time
LKatana	ty you for coming out on a holidady
Mesanna	thank you, have a good evening
LKatana	to say hello
Mesanna	lol anytime
LKatana	ps despite the couple bugs
Mesanna	sorry =(
LKatana	the pet training has been a great addition
Mesanna	we think so also
LKatana	ty for you hard work on this
Mesanna	just glad everyone is enjoying it
Keegan	Hi
Mesanna	hi
Keegan	James was talking about bonded tiger and lions before
Keegan	they won't heal or take bandages when they die
Mesanna	yes?
Keegan	yes
Mesanna	we have it on the list to look into
Keegan	was having to put bandages on them part of the plan, unlike cu's?
Mesanna	ok so you can train it on pets
Mesanna	I am assuming thats what s happening
Mesanna	and
Mesanna	there is a bug with the cu sidhe
Keegan	no bug with the cu
Mesanna	that will affect them also so yes it will be fixed
Mesanna	yes there is
Mesanna	when they die
Keegan	oh, didn't know that, okay
Keegan	also
Mesanna	but the lion and tigers will be fixed
Keegan	okay
Keegan	when you add abilities, the order seems to matter
Keegan	like fire beetles, you have to add armor ignore before poison
Keegan	or you can't add armor ignore
Keegan	why does the order matter?
Mesanna	because the magic abilities are limited to have one at a time active
Mesanna	you should see a gump saying something is going away
Mesanna	to make you aware of it
Keegan	but if i wanted to add a magical then a special move
Keegan	ones that fit
Keegan	i have to add magical then special move, the vice versa will not work
Mesanna	bleak is looking something up
Mesanna	one sec
Keegan	okay
Bleak	Each training category is restricted in how much a pet can learn. Pets can learn 1 school of magic
Keegan	yes
Keegan	on a fire beetle you can have, poison, armor ignore and rune corruption
Bleak	overall from any combination within those limits.
LKatana	sneaze
Keegan	but if you add poison first, you cannot add armor ignore
LKatana	Tissue?
Mesanna	bless you
Keegan	hehe, bless you
Keegan	a few have messed fire beetles up from it
Keegan	is being able to discord your own cu planned?
Mesanna	are you sure you do not have anything else on it
Keegan	yes
Keegan	nothing was added
Mesanna	we would have to see these
Keegan	if you add poison, you cannot add armor ignore
Mesanna	to give you a definate answer
Mesanna	the order should not matter
Mesanna	as long as you have nothing else
Keegan	we have to find those pets then?
Keegan	and call a gm?
Mesanna	not a GM
Mesanna	US
Keegan	k
Mesanna	will you be around tomorrow?
Keegan	i'll see if the guild mates still have them
Keegan	yes
Mesanna	or tonight
Mesanna	ok
Mesanna	check and email me
Keegan	okay
Mesanna	but something doesn't sound correct
Keegan	are cu sidhe's supposed to be able to discord themselves?
Mesanna	bug
Keegan	they act strange, they also get the ZZzzz's above their head in ec, like they slept themselves
Keegan	and stop fighting
Mesanna	they are attacking themselves
Keegan	like they have mysticism
Mesanna	its a love hate relationship
Keegan	ahh
Keegan	hehe
Mesanna	*grins*
Keegan	i use the all kill and target them at spawns to make them attack the closest monster
Keegan	if many things are on them
Token	that's why bahset's a advisor!
Keegan	is there a way also to forfeit unused pts?
Keegan	weight pts
Keegan	some had 4 pts left and nothing to spend them on, and keep getting the training message
LKatana	me i just got the extra 21 spots and got new ones to use so i dont break my good ones
Mesanna	oh like 1 or 2 points with nothing to spend it on?
Keegan	yes
Mesanna	we can add something in the future
Mesanna	Thank you
Keegan	maybe a reset potion in the store also? so if we mess up a bonded pet
Mesanna	lol
Keegan	we can go back to the original state and retrain their progress
Keegan	hehe
Mesanna	not sure we would go that far
Mesanna	do overs are a big thing
Keegan	true
Mesanna	ok we have some people in line
Keegan	yes, sorry, thank you very much
Mesanna	Thank you
Mesanna	hi
Paradox	Hello all, I have a simple but specific question for Mesanna many UO players are wondering about.
Queen Mum	:)
Mesanna	?
Queen Mum	:p
Paradox	What have you done, or do you plan to do to prevent future EM corruption like Clops aka EMChim
Queen Mum	you left space for moi:)
Paradox	and how to do you plan to counter the fact that some trusted UO staff leak your conversations
Paradox	with them on icq all the time? sharing secrets
Mesanna	Thats not something I will talk to you guys about
Paradox	it's unfortunate you wont answer, since so many people are upset by it
Mesanna	I am sure they are but you have to understand I am not talking about the program with you
Mesanna	If they cheat they will be dealt with
Mesanna	we have things in place to stop this from happening
Mesanna	but you know as well as I do
Mesanna	there are many people out there that have to haclk
Paradox	I could name three people who abuse their powers right now, I wont, but they exist sadly.
Mesanna	hack because they have to have more or be better than everyone else
Mesanna	If you know someone is cheating like your past EM then by all means give me
Mesanna	proof
Mesanna	otherwise I don't want to hear word of mouth
Mesanna	I caught the last EM red handed
Paradox	proof is hard to come by when they can erase the proof themselves as UO staff
Mesanna	oh but they can't
Mesanna	you give them way more credit
Mesanna	this the reason I will not talk to you about powers
Mesanna	what they have and what they don't
Mesanna	Have a great evening
Paradox	it's good to hear they have limited powers, some still leak your private chats on icq though
Paradox	ok thanks
Paradox	:)
Token	good evening !
Mesanna	Hello
Token	I would like to plead for little bird friends the phoenixes to be left as they are.
Token	There has been a lot of false statements made about them being faster than mounted players and them being unkillable.
Token	People have already adapted and made archers and purchased bird talisman slayers in response to counter the birds.
Token	Currently there is a good rock paper scissors balance between archers tamers and parry mages now, so please don't change them:(
Mesanna	that has already beed addressed and will be pulished soon
Token	:O
Mesanna	published
Mesanna	wow sorry
Token	you mean in the newsletter?
Mesanna	yes sir
Token	so they're going to be nerfed in both damage and speed?:(
Mesanna	the change has already been made and waiting on QA
Token	possible to share since I'm sure a lot of people have made large investment in their bird friends:(
Token	possible to share? *
Mesanna	*looks at bleak*
Token	*glances at bleak*
LKatana	got to be fun when the boss has you in her cross hairs
Bleak	The speeds will be similar but will correctly use stamina
Token	but that means all pets will move at the same speed if they're at 150?
LKatana	no pressure there
Bleak	they will be similar but dex still plays a role
Token	so they will move at their dex speed but as stamina drops they slow down?
Bleak	Correct
Token	:O
Token	will it be on test shard to see when its ready?
Mesanna	if it is it will not be there but for a day
Mesanna	since they are just bug fixes
Token	ah:(
Token	thank you both for taking the time to answer the question
Mesanna	thank you
Token	have a good evening
Mesanna	you also
Mesanna	hi
Myhrea Hla'ate	Oh thank you.
Myhrea Hla'ate	*smiles*
Captain Insano	love ur robe
Captain Insano	")
Myhrea Hla'ate	I have a few quick questions... first Bleak... Could you please look into dying in the EC again?
Myhrea Hla'ate	It often takes up to 60 seconds or more to die.
Mesanna	the death effect?
Myhrea Hla'ate	Basically you know you are dead when you lock up can't move
Myhrea Hla'ate	And about a min later you finally get gray screen.
Mesanna	have you enabled the hardware death effect
Myhrea Hla'ate	No.
Mesanna	try it
Myhrea Hla'ate	my screen doesn't jack when I die.
Myhrea Hla'ate	It just takes FOREVER to die.
Mesanna	send us your machine specs and details
Mesanna	we can look into it
Bleak	Where are you dying when this happens?
Mesanna	odd
Myhrea Hla'ate	Mostly at the EM Events any time at a champ or when there is several people around
Myhrea Hla'ate	Many of us have this issue in the EC.
Mesanna	lots of lag at those events
Mesanna	we can look into this
Myhrea Hla'ate	Yes but the CC you die instantly
Myhrea Hla'ate	Threfore you can get back into the fray instantly
Bleak	Try changing your particle effect settings
Myhrea Hla'ate	But for the EC you can't you have to wait to die.
Myhrea Hla'ate	I set them where you said at low low
Myhrea Hla'ate	But it still takes forever to die.
Bleak	I will add it to my list
Myhrea Hla'ate	Ty
Myhrea Hla'ate	It takes so long I have time in Discord to say 'Oh I think I'm dead... can somene get ready to rez me please"
Myhrea Hla'ate	And such before I even die.
Myhrea Hla'ate	I shouldn't be able to do all that before I can die ingame.
Mesanna	thats bad
Myhrea Hla'ate	Yes it is
Myhrea Hla'ate	And when every second counts you don't want to spend a min dying
Mesanna	agreed
Myhrea Hla'ate	SEcondly...
Myhrea Hla'ate	Since I can't get a Fairy Dragon...
Myhrea Hla'ate	Would you consider making Skree spawn in more than 1 color?
Mesanna	I think the issue with those were I could not find colors that looked good
Mesanna	but I will look at it
Myhrea Hla'ate	I would LOVE blue and Pink... purple
Myhrea Hla'ate	And finally....
Myhrea Hla'ate	It really bites that in the EC we can not see all the various colors of the new Nightmare colors.
Myhrea Hla'ate	We get 2 ..... normal and hued.
Dark Shadow	this the line for the mivie
Mesanna	we need to make them partially hued
Myhrea Hla'ate	Otherwise they all look the same.
Mesanna	so for now they are like they are
Myhrea Hla'ate	*sighs*
Myhrea Hla'ate	And... could you consider letting us in the EC see brown dragons?
Myhrea Hla'ate	All mine are always red
Mesanna	chocolate dragons maybe
Myhrea Hla'ate	*smiles*
Myhrea Hla'ate	Yummy!
Mesanna	lol have a good evening
Myhrea Hla'ate	ty
