NEWS State of UO

[MedeaDF]

1. Can you please extend housing on Malas? Everyone is in need of a Keep or Castle nowadays... and that brings me to the next question...
   
2. Keep/Castle Customizing: Will there ever be a "standard set" for Keep/Castle plots where you can choose from (like three or four prebuilt designs)? Especially the Castle layout is really uncomfortable... (I mean some designs, beautiful and also practical, like shown in this link)
   
3. Will there ever be an upgrade to storage space? Or maybe upgrade every houseplot to the maximum storage ingame available?
4. Will there ever be any other Dungeon revamps in the (near) future?

Could we have some news regarding Tamers? any chance we could get more controls slots available depending on Taming/Vet/Lore level like for stable slots? Instead of just 5 for everyone regardless of level?

 

[DJAd]

How about sharing some information regarding player numbers? How many daily active users per shard, how many active accounts etc?

 

[BrianFreud]

Will Ask & Answer ever come back?

How do you plan to improve communications with the players in a meaningful way?

Is there not anyone who could/should be keeping us updated re: vendor search? Why the absolute silence?

I'm sure some of these were already covered, but repetitive questions can only mean they are more important, right? lol

1) Can we ever get these "unvendorable" items fixed? They are NOT duped, but became bugged via transfer.

2) Any chance of scrapping the entire "duped" items not vendorable system? it is faulty at best and has never worked correctly.

3) Can we please switch to a gold system without physical gold/checks? And have it be tied to an account (not by character)?

4) Would it be possible to add the ability to sort bulk order books contents by alphabetical order? please??

5) Why can't stable masters take their fee out of a check in the bank? Every time I go to stable a pet, i have to first run to bank and "cash" a check first. (#3 fixes this)

6) Can you make it so blessed items are auto re-equiped when you double click your corpse like everything else is?

7) How is that vendor search coming? lol

And if they deign to, could the two spots in the Stygian Abyss dungeon be open to placement? On some shards, at least one of the original houses has decayed.

Taylor, will the event be recorded so those of us who can't participate when it is actually going on can at least watch a recording later? All I see here are links to watch it "live" and I'm getting pretty annoyed that no one is actually telling the vast majority of us who don't have the luxury of dropping everything to sit down at a computer for an hour or so while this is going on whether we should even bother with submitting questions that we have no hope of actually seeing someone from Broadsword answer and instead will have to accept someone else's recollection for an answer. It shouldn't be that difficult for whoever is setting this up to answer this question. The real question, I guess, is whether they want to be bothered to provide the answer and view whatever reaction it causes.

I'm not trying to be rude here, but not answering such a simple question is just one more example of a major communication failure with regard to UO. One more example of everything having to be a big secret held by "people in the know." It's gotten really, really old to continue to see this absolute disregard for paying customers forced to rely on a third party who has nothing to do with the game company for information about the game they play. I know you guys spend a lot of time trying to support UO, but you would you just for once put yourselves in the shoes of all the people who aren't outside the clique of Stratics staff and EMs? We're tired of all the ongoing and ridiculous mystery and silence.

Thank you!!

Yes. Google hangouts that are broadcasted to YouTube become YouTube videos that you may replay any time.

Thank you, Taylor. That was the answer I was hoping for.

1. Can anything be done about UO "inflation"?
2. At the 15th anniversary event, Mesanna mentioned changing the dragon graphics. Are there any plans to follow up on that in the future? It is so annoying to attend an EM event and you never see the spawn b/c the dragons block the target. By the time you pull up the tags and find the monster, it's usually dead.

 

[thejammonster]

Any changes coming to the (terrible) billing system?

Questions closed - or they'll still be answering them this time next week!
