May as well give it up... I asked about it over a week ago and was told to be happy with NOTHING... You should be grateful that you have a game to play... with almost no DEV's and very little contact... What's the matter with you!
Enjoy the silence... they told me ...... after all we just had a publish... What more could you want?

I want more communication from a discredited source.

It's a regular cycle... lots of silence usually means they are hard at work on something new that is just around the corner... and once it hits they'll spend lots of time on the forums getting feedback, answering questions, etc.
Then perhaps a disclaimer should be added for us less intuitive folks when making announcements like this, that it only applies if something new isn't being worked on?
Yes it's true, but which game are they working on?

You would think by now they would hvae learned that working hard on something before FIRST getting the players feedback and pushing it out there anyway despite what we players say is.... A NO NO... But hey what do I know, just my two cents...
Would save a lot of man and woman hours if they discussed future adjustments and patch information with the players rather then spending 2 months or more working on something we may not even want or like and throwing it at us anyway :-0

Sure - they ask what we want... get 500 different conflicting answers and end up doing nothing because we can't agree on anything...
Maybe 30-40 different answers and many the same answer, so its not hard to gage the outcome if 30-40 people are putting different thoughts on a subject when 20'ish all agree in one direction to go.
As with the enhancements for the armour, 80% of the stratics users thought it was too complicated and not worth the effort and I would translate that into players on the shard as less than 15% of the population are using enhancements on their armour.
I sit a luna bank looking at what everyone is wearing and what mods they have and i would say that 15% is a fair estimate for the new armour enhancement, which to me was a waist of developer time and could have been spent redoing Doom dungeon or something else more productive and popular
Ballot Box "IN GAME" at Luna
4 different selections of things you would like to see added..
4 things the devs are willing to implement, or able to.
One vote per account
So say the vote lasts a month..once the voting is completed and tallied up. It is posted on UO.com which system or whatever has won, with a description of what's to be added and another ballot box appears in Luna with a "Do you like the new proposed changes?" Yes/No/Needs Tweaking
"Go to UO.stratics.com" to discuss..
Seeing how we aren't dealing with some great influx of new players, you may want to try and keeping the majority of the current player base happy, not a select few..
Edit: The voting has to meet certain requirements to be "passed" and implemented into game..
First Phase: initial voting on what you would like to see in game wether it be new items/revamps or whatever. Majority vote is all you need..
Second phase: after a specific items wins, the idea is proposed on UO.com and here as well..
Third phase: a new ballot box is added to luna where the community is asked if the changes are liked..and in order for it to be implemented where then it needs a 75% vote to pass for it to move forward
Final phase: coding/bug testing and implementation begins
Simple

What other game would they be working on?
given the resources currently afforded this game, i'm sorta just happy they keep the servers active.
Moonglow, Nu'jelm, Britain, Jhelom, Serpent's Hold, Yew, Cove, New Haven, Minoc, Skara Brae, New Magincia, Vesper or Trinsic would be a better choice...
Why? Luna is by far the most traveled place
and where they fail is by not asking what we want BEFOREHAND. We are the paying customers therefor what we want to happen in this game somewhat matters. I believe we are the ones who are paying them to make things happen... Not the other way around?
Do developers in other games really ask players beforehand about content? Would be awesome for any game, however I would sincerely doubt that they would get any solid consensus of what players want or approve of.

The people that receive 500 conflicting answer are supposed to find a common thread and go with it. Some people will say this what we experience in uo now .Others will disagree. That is one of the main reasons for these forums..........
May be easier said than done, depending on the issue/idea. Even this "common ground" may be something not well received.
Ya I wouldn't mind if it was in cove, as long as it's in game. The problem with it being anywhere but in Luna means that the team would have to do a good job of letting everyone know where it is, and what impact it would have, and the importance on voting. In the past they have lacked "explanations"
