That's awesome
Are there going to be free gifts in our store or is that just for japans website? I'll buy them either way but free gifts are always nice.

A Drow Blessing??
Wow!
I am more than honored
*bows* ... Now if you'll pardon me I have a 4 year old who thinks she can ride without training wheels.
Hello Cal!
Thanks for your clarification and may I ask you to let us have your thought about the following issue?
What I don't like in this promotion is that they offer pigments of tokuno as a bonus at random. This reminds me of a marketing way of other MMO managing industries in Japan.
Some MMO managing industries in Japan offer in-game items through playing roulette. This is a very easy way to make money from users. Some industries do it and therefore they are hated. Games where they offer items through roulette are mostly free game.
In this case, they don't sell items directly through roulette. But they are aware of that pigments of tokuno is one of the most popular items in UO, and therefore they offer this item as an extra bonus gift won at random from three items. This is eventually a kind of playing roulette. We have now no other means to get this item in game, so players who want it must play this roulette, paying 1000 Yen at each play.
I think it is not good for UO. MMO game managing industries that offer items in this way are hated in Japan. I can name 2-3 industries at once. For example, Gu**-*ho, C**e, or etc.
There are some players who spent several thousands dollars in a month. This is not exaggeration.( Not in UO, in other games)
How do you think about this?

Urgh no!!!!!!!
Please don't release the bug lamps over here!
It's bad enough that their all over Heartwood but i really don't want to see them everywhere else aswell.
They just look like bad Anime pixels that while ok for the Asian market and their liking of all things Anime, they just dont belong in UO.
Take a good look at them, then honestly think if you want to see them all over the place.
Heck, if thats the way were heading then just scrap the new client and draw a Hello kitty clone instead........

MalagAste needs to chill out. Thank god Cal stepped in before we had a suicide case on our hands.
I do not need to chill out.... I've always gone on the philosophy that the "Squeeky wheel" gets the grease....
And I am VERY passionate about the game I love to play everyday.... so you'll excuse me if I get a bit irritated when I feel that I'm being given the shaft so to speak... And no I'm not into suicide..... though I did just watch Falling Down... Does that count???
*grins*....
I happen to like the pixelated bug..... and I think it will look just right fine in my gardens.... so I'll probably need a few of them.....
And just so you know Slayvite...... I LOATHE anime..... Can't stand it....
The bug lanterns do NOT in any way remind me of Anime.... Infact I can't think of anything in UO that does. Thank god.
And Yes Bel'la Dos is Drow for Bless you..... Or Thank you.....
But yes Bless you.... for taking the time to say that these things will be made "right"... and this won't be another 11th anniversary fopah.....
*grins* bug lights for a summer promotion, made me giggle

Use a translator to read the agreement and make sure you are not signing away your first born. And note that you do this at your own risk
I made a typo in my email addy and didn't get the first batch of codes. Second purchase with the right addy received an email with the gift codes immediately.
When you claim the gift code you received in the email, you will get a randomly determined token for 1 of the 3 types of gifts offered. Could be the hairdye, could be the BOD covers, could the 3 ToT1 neon dyes.
I claimed a BOD cover token and got only 1 cover, but the colour is new (I got wyrm white). So when they say "BOD cover 2" it means a second round of new BOD colours, not 2 BOD covers...whoops.
Haven't tried the rest. If anyone has, let me know!

They have 30 and 180 days gametime codes. can we have it too?
I would like to see the US team beat the Japan/Korean team to the punch every now and then.
Well, what will happen is it takes them 7-10 days so they will show up on the uogamecodes store with a button the size of your wallet.
Really, can we get a redesign of this store? I mean I know the game is pushing 12 years old here, but the website doesn't need to look like a middle school kid learning illustrator made the buttons 12 years ago.
The layout of the Japan store is really nice and clean. I bet an intern could fix ours in 2 days. . .

Maybe the SA upgrade codes?
I can't be certain, but I think the expansions had always been made available on the US store first. Can anyone confirm?

While your at it throw some SA boxes on the shelf. Yeah you don't make money off it or whatever it cost you to put them on it BUT ITS CALLED PEOPLE WALKING IN THE FRICKEN STORE AND SEEING IT!!!! KNOWING IT EXISTS! Sorry bout that. The mic went loud. Don't let SA promotions fall through the cracks.
And if its $$ your worried about use this new flow of cash your about to get in for a 5$ bug that gives light and a 1 tile rug and use that to fund the boxes on the shelf. I'm sure
you will have a good foundation for it because people will buy it like crack.
the ladybugs are ********.

That is the ONLY thing I am (and have been) interested in since they so rudely took them away. There is NO reason ALL of the ToT dyes shouldn't be available in game or if they just have to make money off of them, put them for sale for those of us not in the Asian market.
I agree. And it seems now we cant even buy them from EA Japans web store.
Of course this happens right after I deposited some shopping money just for UO.
Also, Cal made a post saying that the announcement about the items being made available to us fell through the cracks. I still havent seen any announcement anywhere. I mean, if it "fell through the cracks", wouldn't there be a post or news story somewhere? Like somewhere in the herald or on uo.com?
And Ill wager 1 million gold (on Great Lakes) that we DO NOT get the option to buy ToT1 dyes.
And Ill wager 1 million gold (on Great Lakes) that we DO NOT get the option to buy ToT1 dyes.
Not really the best of bets since they didnt get that option on Asian codesite either.
The ToTs were a percentage freebie along with the colored bod books if you paid a certain ammount.
I would swear that the ToT1 dyes are for sale on the store. As we cant get to the store anymore, I cant look. If they are not, then they have been taken down recently.
the new items were the carpets,bug lights and the new hair dyes. If you spent over a certain ammount you got a free item from either the ToT 1 pigments or new bod book cover colours.
If you scroll up screen some theirs a pic of what was on offer to buy.

I don't think we need to have more of a competition, just more of a coordination.
*Just went to the Japan site and it now directed me to the uoherald site. So i think buying from there to US addys is now over. It would be very nice if the neon Tokuno dyes were available on the US UOgamecodes site in the form of tokens as it is Japan.
It seems to be more of a US team have to pass everything thru EA first and the Jap/Kor team just do whatever they want, whenever they want.
Slayvite is correct, the dyes are 1 of the 3 possible gifts you are eligible for per 1,000 yen spent. It's not for sale.
Of course, if you do get the gift code for the dyes, the token gives you 3 selectable ones. I got a total of 9 TOT dyes out of my first 7 gift codes.
In their previous Valentines' Day promotion, they gave 1 TOT dye per 3,500 yen spent. No direct sale of the TOT dyes then either.
Yes, the new items came with a "freebie" when you spent some money. The ToT1 dyes are also for sale as a seperate item, and I think have been for some time. I could be wrong and they (dyes) may not be fo sale seperatly anymore at all.
I have no intention of buying ladybugs. Some dyes and new color BOD covers would be nice.
Ths is a quote from a post backin '07
"Incidentally the 50 charge chromatic colors are available through the EA Japan website as a gamecode token. Whether this will be a permanent feature or available for a limited time, or if they will ever become available in to the US & European players is unknown."
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Then perhaps the US team needs to renegotiate with EA so they are able to release items quicker like the KOR/JPN team.
