Er.. does this mean we'll have it in the morning after maintenance? Or later in the day? Or Friday morning?

I believe they mean during tonights maintenance. After all, for most of the world, it's already been 12:00am on 12/16/09.

I think you're confusing it with the Undertaker's Staff (which isn't in the game yet).

The Eternal Guardian staff is a new drop from Ter Mur.

Eternal Guardian Staff (Gnarled Staff)

· Mysticism: +15
· Spell Channeling
· SDI: 10%
· LMC: 5%
· Physical Damage: 100%

The fixes that talk about pulling in monsters to kill refugees makes me think we'll soon see an event that focuses on the refugees around the Royal City.

What's the point of keeping trial account characters out of "custom channels" when they can still use the non-custom channels??

It's a cheap fix.. hopefully until they can implement the CC required, one CC per trial account changes. This is the only way to fix a lot of problems, and I hope they're listening.

Their choice of reaction to this problem, which to them is only a problem because of the player outcry against it, should tell you something.

Understand this, WoW built the perfect game for "farming", and they make millions off it every year. All the while doing just enough to keep the complaints from getting out of hand. Same as any other game, only on smaller scales. Everybody else has been adding content that is ideal for farming, especially notable is UO since it used to be random before AoS, and has added such game play that literally changed the face of the game.
Do you really think, after all these years that problems like this have not been addressed, that it's just one of those things? (Not talking about dupe bugs, talking farming here.)

i gotta get me one of those, what drops them?

 

[Tanivar]

On the new chat system.

Is there a kill switch for it?

Having all that babbling scrolling up the left third of the game window is annoying. Especially when crafting.

I'd like it normally off by default, and only switched on and cluttering the screen when I want it doing so. Currently it auto connects me.

As soon as the update is live on your home shard (should be live now) you will be able to "leave" the default chat channel and it will NOW remember your choice and it will be "off" for you until you choose to join a channel again.

Nobody has said anywhere those would be arties.. its more likely they'll make us buy them.

If that's the case it better be on a vendor for a mil. Unless they are giving away tokens to get them. I already pay a subscription. If they want more money they need to come up with a way to shake down trial accounts or limited free accounts for it.

LOL..buy an item that will save me 5% of a vendor charge. Wouldn't we be better off buying gold?
