Publish 53

Publish 53 was published to all shards on June 10, 2008:

Bug Fixes

• Added a 15 minute timer for a guild to accept an alliance invite. This means guilds will no longer get stuck in “invite pending” mode. (For guilds in this situation now, once the publish goes live, GMs will be able to resolve the issue.)
• Vanguards and their allies will now teleport if they are attacked while in unreachable locations
• Added the House Resizing command:
  • Saying “I wish to resize my house” while standing under the house sign demolishes your house as though you'd used that option from the house sign
    • NOTE: This is an actual “demolish” – if you have grandfathered houses, resizing your house will condemn them just like placing a new one would. Also, items will behave just as though you demolished the house – they will drop to the ground.
    • Places a one hour account-bound placement zone where your house used to be
    • Any character on the account is guaranteed replacement on the same plot for an hour
    • Circumvents the normal 7 day delay between demolishes/rebuilds
    • The new house can be smaller or larger than the original area, as long as the surrounding area can accommodate the change
  • Greater Dragons and Dread Warhorses will display properly in trade window
• Statuette engraving tools will be available, sold by NPC tinkers.
• Sand and Granite will have double resources in Fel now
• Creatures will no longer teleport into private houses
• Snake Skin Boots will no longer say Oak
• Blood Oath can now be removed by eating an Enchanted Apple or using Remove Curse spell
• Added a Priest of Mondain to Felucca Prism of Light area
• Zoo Collection points will now decay more slowly
• Lady Sylvanis will no longer chase people quite so far
• Repair Service Deeds now work for a Long Sword, Orc, bear and tribal masks, right-facing Black Staffs, left-facing Crooks, and left-facing Clubs
• Player vendors can no longer hold a shield and a two handed weapon
• Moonglow blacksmith regions have been updated to use repair deeds
• Player vendors should now recognize the increased bank storage
• The spelling of Velocity has been corrected when a player is hit by an arrow with Velocity
• Taming Text will now appear over the head when pet is tamed.
• You can now milk a cow (use an empty pitcher on it!)
• Juka Bow has been fixed to show the correct str.
• The Vanguard assault has become heavier
• Untamed Dread Warsteeds will use their signature attack more often
• Bank Checks will update properly when their value changes
• Mysterious stUO:rangers have been sighted in various of the Anti-Virtue Dungeons.

  • Poinsettia
  • Holiday Tree Deeds
  • Candy Cane
  • Pile of Snow / Glacial Snow
