Where's Cupid?

They didn't say it would appear at server up...they said

Cupid will not deliver your gifts till after your regular maintenance cycles.

Sure you can ASSUME that means immediately after servers come back...but I don't think that's the case :)
Really starting to get on my nerves...

Yeah I was assuming that it would be an npc of some sort....though I have been searching all the buildings in the city...a daunting task! But if it IS just a statue then it wouldn't show up in your journal as you ran by it.

Also considering the fact that the globe is located in the EM hall has me wondering if it IS an EM event..though you'd think the players on Drach would know that?

Greetings Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have an issue with the new art display of the Valentine Gifts. We are putting out a new client now, as soon as everyone has the client I will start placing the statues. Sorry for the confusion and delay!

Thanks,
Mesanna

On Sonoma, an Advisor just stated that the statue on Drac "may" not give the right prize. I have NOT confirmed this, just passing on information.

I agree. And someone on Drachs thought the books were related to an EM event. I've postponed my consideration of the clues until I hear that they are still active and relate to the Cupid. Some folks will be upset if the books are unrelated. Lots of folks there trying to figure them out.
Told everyone over at Drach that it may be an old quest. Some of them heard me/us and returned to their servers :p

The books are fun to solve, okay for a while. I do not think they are part of the cupid event though.

And someone else just said that Bartman also said Mesanna hasn't yet been able to place whatever it is she's placing.

The small red cupid statue on Dracs in the em hall cannot be clicked for any prize. Maybe it belongs to the EM, a personal statue for deco.

In drachs the cupid is at the councellors guild hall red cupid and big globe click on globe get 2 books one in english one in german with scrambled words in 10 sets unscramble the words then solve the riddle and no I have not figured out the message yet-- there surely are better brains out there then mine
I was actually in the Drach counselor's guild hall last night about 15 minutes before server-down. That globe was already there; I think it's unrelated to the Valentine's Day gifts.

It looks like the gifts are the same no matter shard, right? No "rare" or special versions of them so far?

Well the champagne bottle seems just decorative. The flutes are endless it appears. I've drank enough that I need to find one of my hangover remedies or have a few days drunk

Considering the nature of the gifts -- basket and contents -- it appears that these gifts are one per character rather than one per account. Will someone please verify that?

The bottle and flutes are animated, which is kind of nice.

Close but not quite, lol. That was my face after I realized they knew this was fubar for hours and hours and didn't take 2 minutes to post about it. Super disappointed on how this whole thing was handled. But it's typical EA.
There was a very small post on uo.com about messed up art files and cupid would be delayed. The post has since been deleted and updated with the current post about Asian shards having theirs after maintenance.

I saw that. Shard reset 5 AM, post about fubar after 12:00 lol. There's like 6 hours I'll never get back. Went inch by inch over several shards trammel and fel. *Shakes my head* I guess they've only been working on this since like November so ya gotta cut em some slack ;)

I only wish they'd used a new flower, instead of killing whispering roses... :(

I've found our cupid on lake austin, but no clues though. And no i'll not tell where he is :lick:. I've been giving two hints to people looking. 1. A king should rule with compassion. 2. A place to stay on a wedding night, or romantic night.

AoS roses didn't kill whispering roses and the natural looking AoS ones are also dyeable... whispering roses will be fine as far as desirability. I wish they had actually given us a slim chance to get our name on one like the towels.

It's not fair, here Mesanna work hard to hide the Cupid, and you just tell where instead of just giving a hint.

I was sad to see that there was nothing "special" no collectability in the stuff. Nothing even with my characters name on it. Rather all feels so "generic". Sure the bottle is pretty... Rather makes the rest of UO look like poop also seems a bit large. But ... that's just me I guess.

I do appreciate the gift and the effort the devs put forth to give us something but I am disappointed. I was hoping for something new, rare, or collectible. It's kind of like my ex-husband giving me a new toaster for valentine's day. blah.

erm ... certainly not a deal u will do more than a couple of times... shame... these things could make a real contribution in uo... just make them a small collection etc etc were u want to keep logging to get the full set... and even xshard swop stuff..like the old dayz..even the new days like the recent toy soldiers....hell if the bags/roses etc were even a shard colour it would be worth it.....shame yet again another lost opportunity in bonding shards and shard folks merging/ collecting and participating as one ....2/10 ...my view.. just not what we needed...we need ....or whatever im sick of saying it....

I'd agree THP, Angel, and MalagAste... Even colors would have been kind of disappointing - we have AOS roses which can be dyed, after all. But what if they'd used some of the unavailable flower types, maybe given one on each shard, maybe in a few "natural" looking hues? At Christmas, I ran 2600 characters for the gift boxes. I can't see myself running more than 10 or 20 of these, and if any are in really hard to reach spots, I just won't bother. In terms of the name, too, it seems strange to lock down"A freshly picked rose" in my front lawn...
