Origin

 

[Merlin]

I did some thread clean up. Play nicely, please.

 

[Pawain]

Ya that went sideways fast. Don't they know this is a Robo thread, save the venom for a real post.

 

[OREOGL]

This is incredibly lackluster.
They’re not even trying at this point.

 

[Naitch]

hmmmm, i think i rather have a bonfire or firefly clicky instead.

But it's twice that day !

I do think it's a bit humorous that it's on a weekday. It's pretty clear they don't want to work on the weekend (which I understand that part) but when you are dealing with clients/customers part of the job is working a weekend every so often because that's when more people are able to play. I agree 100% that more recently they don't seem like they are interested in putting forth much effort to satisfy the players, especially if it might inconvenience them in the slightest (ie they have to work a few hours on a Saturday when more players are off).

 

[skett]

not many players left to upset anyhow,
I was just saying in game its amazing uo is still running it seems everyday there's an idoc or two on pac alone .
Maybe they know this and that's why they aren't working weekends whats the point of putting in effort at this point.

I think a few on Pac may be from same players, like how most or all of Crystal Elf's houses have fallen over the past few months.

How long before there are ZERO honest players left? My guess, not very long. My guess is, when the gold sellers have no one left to sell their stuff to (other than each other), for RMT's, the game will fold. I say, why not just go ahead and put it out it's misery. I'm honestly at the point where I won't miss it. The gold sellers/scripters have ruined it for me.

Well if it was falling we wouldn't know because the developers refuse to communicate

 

[Victim of Siege]

Y'all have fun, i'll be knee deep in work all day.

 

[Miretar]

Will there be a gate to the Origin shard from the other shards? Or just a gate on Origins to Brit bank?

 

[skett]

gate is in luna and goes to event on fire island

 

[Larisa]

Will there be a gate to the Origin shard from the other shards? Or just a gate on Origins to Brit bank?

No, you can make a new character on Origin, you don't need any skills. There is a gate there in Luna and I guess New Haven as well.

 

[HippoRedux]

The boat race prize is cool (ship in a bottle) as is the puzzle palace one (spitted frog on a stick) What are the Dunk Booth and Hide n Seek game prizes??

 

[Larisa]

Dunk booth is a towel, A souvenir summer solstice beach towel

The hide and seek is a fountain


Makes a greater heal sound when you click it.

 

[Naitch]

watermelon ?
i believe i will have some of that

 

[Larisa]

Yep the watermelon is a clicky, one per account.

 

[Nightly]

The multi-clienting is commendable.

I missed the Hide and Seek game and that's a neat prize
Was that something you had to find someone on and was there anything to it/place for instructions?

 

[Gem]

So where are the seashells?

 

[Larisa]

They will announce in chat that the tide is coming in, and the shells will spawn anywhere on the festival grounds, not just by the water.

The EMs drop an NPC at the fairgrounds and give out the first clue. From there you have to find NPCs and follow their clues that take you all over Trammel. There will be an EM at the end that gates you to the prize.

 

[cosariberry2]

Does anyone have any info on the clues given/answers for the hide and seek game? I didn't get to do it (was waiting for the boat race and dunk tank) but I heard some people were confused on what the answers were to some clues.

 

[skett]

I gave up on the hide and seek. Was talking up to much time and know one would help out.
Did really good on all the other games though
Was a fun event more time would have been better.

 

[egglett]

Had a great time but like skett said hide n seek was a bit of a nightmare for me
