Video HOC Questions !!!!

[Aerodice]

1) When will UO Stygian Abyss be complete in terms of unreleased land masses (the 1/4th chunk of ter mur overworld that is inaccessible) as well as unused ingredients/possible quest items such as the vile tentacles, slith's eye and lodestones.

2) Will more commodities and items be added to pirate and merchant ships and will we see different difficulties of ships and crews?

3) Will Scalis' item drop rate be improved and will there be a way to convert a fabled fishing net so that you have an option to summon Scalis or Leviathan?

Who are you people and why am I still here??!?!

From now on, you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as déjà vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name, silence your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You are above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're "them." We're "they." We are the Men in Black.

Will the complete state of the game video ever be released, or will we only get the teaser version from last week. Assuming we will only get the teaser version, what do the dev team members believe our perception of them and our trust of them should be as we waited (impatiently) for quite some time to get a 2:25 minute video?

Question:

Will you please make the house teleport tile sets dyeable?

Another question:

Isn't it time for more Mesanna Roulette? =)

[NuSair]

In the BOD system we currently get deco rewards in addition to the power scrolls/cloth/runics. Can we get deco items as a reward for the fishing quest?

 

[LordDrago]

Who turned up the temperature and how did I get in this handbasket?

Here's my two questions: (Both relate)

1. Have you ever thought of combining shards into one. IE Europa and Drachenfels. I understand the housing is an issue, alas this leads on to question 2.

2. Why can we not have a house pack up feature which is used in Star Wars Galaxies? Basically a player would access their house menu, click pack up house and then the house would be put in to a special blessed deed in their pack/bank. The player would then, let's say, find another spot, or switch to a different shard, and double click the deed to place it like a normal house would which would place their house with all items in exactly how they packed it up. A time limit could be introduced to stop people having a portable house.

what if i have a castle and all the castle spots are taken

Simple solution if EA really wanted the merge to work, Plenty of spaces in Malas that you can't place on.

 

[Storm]

let me be more specific. my house is in luna and I dont want to lose my luna house!
(mine is not i am just being the devils advocate)
the other thing is not everyone wants to be on a high population shard

 

[Luisito]

Is someone recording this for sure? I will not be available due to work and would love to catch it.

 

[BlissMarie]

Another question!

Will you please make crystallized essence stackable?

There's no financial reason to do so these days. All you would be doing is making a lot of players really angry.

If they are working to bring in more players, then I think it wouldn't be as big of a deal as it is - people would be happier to have more people to play with.

My question for the HOC tonight is whether they are going to let talk of pixel crack or questions they've already answered drown out the stuff that seriously impacts UO's future, like talk of the EC and the artwork.

I predict a strong focus on spring cleaning and other wastes of time.

Which will sadly make a lot of players happy. :/

There should be on official video but just in case there is a catastrophe, Sosaria Reels will be doing their best to record it for UOStratics as well.

Even though my questions went hand in hand that doesn't mean the house pack up feature cannot be useful. Let's say you live in Malas in a crowded area and want out, you could just pack up and move somewhere else within a matter of minutes.

If you have a castle, then of course you wouldn't use the feature.

 

[Anira Cuilwen]

1) Can we have dark nights and colored lights in EC like in classic?
2) Can we have "real" cellars for custom houses?

Yeah. "We don't care about UO six months or a year from now, we care about what new items you can give us six weeks from now".

With a big focus on new players in 2011, what emphasis is being put on PR/Marketing/Advertising? Nothing has been marketed/advertised outside of the usual UO circle since 2009. EA has a marketing and PR department, why are they not used? Why are press releases for websites to cover not sent out?
