If so its a waste of time on the devs part, use your time to fix other things.
I see this new thing lasting maybe a few weeks tops , before people get borred and shelve it along with pirate hunting..
Now if they added alchemy and brewing together some way. that may be different.
Make it so your potions last longer or are stronger with brewing uo potions.
Or adding a certain drink you made to a potion gives you a upgrade.
Dont just add brewing so you can see your name on a bottle, sorry but thats just lame ass lazyness on devs part , trying to get player to stay in UO.
The devs should come to the forums and ask players what they like to see, not take some wild ass guess and wonder wtf after when players pancake about something they add.
Well thats my two cents for now..just hope it turns out to be beter then what there saying..
Interesting points,
You did invoke concern regarding the
brewed product kewelness &/or usefulness as I painfully reflect back to
choclatiering
*aCTUALLY A rANT NOT A qUOTE: *...that I hate to be reminded of
choclatiering ..... after amassing gobs of paragon 'choclate ingredients'
that don't stack - maybe some more precious than others for my chef in anticipation to cookin' up some nifty buff-bites (
like what the fish pies were designed to do - but I can't catch those fish after a decent amount of frustrating devotion and bug bites & math) or something chocolaty useful to enhance some style of game play. But at crafting merely 1 of each of da 3 little choclate poop options ... that was 'choclatiering' & it was uber disappointing never to be done again....

Your idea of opening up a suggestion thread at one stop shop for short period on a given topic is good - it'd take an elevated effort of moderating I'm sure to keep it meaningful. That would be the most streamlined method to sincerely solicit ideas on a open floor approach. For many folks out 'there' the official feedback spot is located on the uohearald site [
http://www.uoherald.com/feedback]- - - It'd haftah have a menu option for [ideas - Suggestions] or something to sift rants out though.
*muse* Open feed back like an IBM style or TQM based management is a philosophy that exists or does not - merely asking with no intent to utilize is just a waste of everyone's time. It takes a dedicated pool of resources that - without a true hearted philosophy of end user input, will not be available.
Good notion involving the alchemy.
We still dig pirate hunting (w/ Ventrilo & couple adult pops) - but the miners need a break from sp mining every so often so that keeps it in check which was good design edit from feedback it seems.
The brewing news & speculation from hints has launched renewed effort of working thieving up s'more - in competition style with buddy.
hAPPY dAY !
