That was indeed the case.
The new rune book art looks good.
Wow, I was looking at that for a good 10 seconds before I realized there was a rune to Luna in the book, those colors definitely need to be changed. Even though I know it's there now I can still barely see it. Looks pretty much invisible to me. I have 20/20 vision and have never needed glasses.... if I have trouble seeing it then I can't even imagine how hard it must be to see it for people with worse eyesight.@Kyronix Was the atlas text a part of today's patch? They are still neigh to unreadable in the EC

We need DARK colors for the text, not pastels.
I'm playing on a 47" LED screen and the colors are horrid. Even at that size its difficult to read.
I hate it! Of course, that's likely because I copied my tamer over, and pets don't do anything to the Quest bosses I've fought so far - The Great Ape & the T-Rex. For the Ape, I was with a couple guildmates from LS & we were all in wraith form spamming fireball/explosion/flamestrike. I was using Death Ray too, which was doing 120-127 dmg per hit.
)The timer needs to be longer for multiple templates not just off setting mortal.
The tiger cub quest wasn't too bad, solve a puzzle while being attacked by trappers and tigers (and boy did they increase the spawn rate on those). I freed 5 cubs before I realized you needed to escort them back, but all in all it wasn't bad (tho a few did die on the way back and there was no way to heal them). Only did the 1st two quests and the lava rock quest item that you turn in (or not ) looks awesome. Will finish the quests sometime over the weekend.
Being color blind is a real hindrance to playing UO these past couple of years. I don't use the new runebook at all because I can't see the cities most of the time. For those who care, here is the type of color blindness that I have Moderate Deutan | EnChroma
I think they should make you immune to mortal for a few seconds, just like para blow.
Am I the only one who was INCREDIBLY annoyed by the tiger cub quest? Don't get me wrong, they are cute & I love the addition of them, but I found it to be impossible without extreme amounts of luck.
This is a good idea but I wonder how the implementation would go.
Similar to the poison auto-cure timer, maybe? I think that's within six seconds of curing the first poison, and I believe para blow/nerve strike operate on a similar timer. The main problem I can see with mortal working the same way is still getting hit with it again, since you can't cure/trapped box your way out of it. Apple it once, get mortaled again, it ends early due to resistance. You'll get mortaled a 3rd time and won't have any way to cure it w/out a Cleansing Winds or Remove Curse.
This is not how they're showing up on test center currently.@Kyronix Was the atlas text a part of today's patch? They are still neigh to unreadable in the EC

One of my books is readable, while another isn't. Its damn odd. The colors are still too light, but as @Potgut pointed out, a simple stroke to the font would fix it.
Older style runebooks have the standard coloring, but the runic atlases don't. It's an easy fix for sure, but I don't like the new colors in the Atlases.
Which shard did you encounter the atlas issue?
reminds me of the first edition of the sundialWhile I'm excited about this new publish and pleased with some of the announced new content, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be that guy again...
Again with the perspective.
Especially after we all
about the sundail to the point that the changed it. I feel like they should be pretty well aware of how we feel about that perspective. 
Timers are the most horrible and lazy developer addition in years. Make EVERYTHING cost mana, and actually BALANCE the mana cost of things. Arbitrary timers are silly, and lazy coding. Nothing used to be timed ages ago. That's still how it should be. Having to KNOW when a timer is up is silly if you can't physically SEE the timer, knowing if you have mana is easy because you can SEE your mana. Anyone that things more timers is a good thing hasn't pvpd in UO for long...
You are right, I have only been around since 1998, what do I know?
um.. really? I take my dragon with me into all the rooms.
eats the water elementals in the fountain so I can build the trench and usually I can get him up on the platform in the belfry to help kill the mighty dragon...so....take your pet with you to all the rooms, they do help quite a bit!
My Dragon can best that Dragon. And i just have him keep the trees busy while I work. He's awesome killing water eles. And in the Bar he keeps the Pirates off my back. He can take one out if he wants...I also take my dragon with me into all of the rooms. He's great in the bar, kills the treefellows in the orchard, keeps the armor busy in the armory while I purify the phelada-thingies
What special doesn't cost mana? what are you talking about?
