[Silent Singer]

DOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!

So stoked for Halloween already

 

[Merlin]

And I don't know if sadly or hilariously, but Ultima Online is spelled "Ultima Oinlines"

 

[Yadd of Legends]

A lot of good news in that newsletter

Amazing....

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Not to sound argumentative here.. but everyone who has said recently that 'The Devs just don't care" .. should have to read that Newsletter 100x's and then set about bashing their head into a wall while repeating "I should have known better".... Just sayin'.. a lot of things in that update are things that have been discussed here a good bit.


Pet colors?

New vet reward mount.. ummm Myrmidex Warrior?

 

[Silent Singer]

Warrior as mount? My guess (and hope) is a spider!

PLEASE BE A GIANT SPIDER!!!!

 

[Kylie Kinslayer]

Spider would work too.. hmm or a Terathan Matriarch... *shrugs*.. Warrior would be cool though

We know it ain't gonna be a swampy so one thing eliminated lol

 

[Silent Singer]

*squeezes eyes shut and crosses fingers*

please be a spider please be a spider please be a spider
.......

 

[Angel of Sonoma]

could be an ant (hope not tho). a terathan would be cool.

A Fire Ant could be cool though... of course imho they are gonna play heck to get me offa the Hell Hound mount Nothing better imo!

I like the idea of straightening up the process for firing cannons and giving some areas of the High Seas booster a second look.

That was another good one to me as well. When cannons first hit I was excited. Tried to do all the stuff to get the components and fire one... simply gave the heck up... will definitely revisit it once they do make changes though.

 

[Lord Frodo]

we will be deploying to 3 production shards in hope to get more feedback. The shards we are publishing are Origin, Izumo, and Baja. Lets hope more bugs get fixed before it goes to all servers.

 

[Sargon]

Yeah, I get it, typos happen... but that looks really unprofessional.

 

[Eärendil]

I don't like to say it, but... What did I tell you?

Great! Thanks!

 

[BeaIank]

My credit card is ready for the in-game store.
I just hope the selection is much better than what we are offered at the Origin store. Give us consumables! Take our money!

 

[Yadd of Legends]

And I don't know if sadly or hilariously, but Ultima Online is spelled "Ultima Oinlines"

OK, at least that was just a typo in the email header, and (thankfully) it's spelled right at the top of the newsletter itself

 

[Yadd of Legends]

"We have already begun working on Halloween, Anniversary Gifts, Holiday Gifts"
Hm, should I start filling the empty slots on all my accounts with 150 new characters to increase my chances of getting a rare? * sarcasm *

Re-release every item previously sold via uogamecodes.com, EA Japan and Origin - even ones that didn't "sell well." Split up big package tokens into their smaller tokens.

Do NOT mimic Origin's bloated, money-grab pricing schema. SA isn't worth $20 anymore, nor is HS worth $15. In fact, slash prices on anything over $10 by a third or more.

This.
And sell us resources through it as well. Or at least Void Pool reward points so that we can get those bloody maps and actually gather enough resources at our shards to be able to stock vendors with them.

 

[Parnoc]

Miscellaneous Changes
Legacy runebooks have been reverted to pre-Publish 92.

Thank you very very much!!! I feel like I just met up with old friends I haven't seen for a long long time!!!!!! Again, thank you for listening to us Devs!!

As soon as i read that, i had the same idea. Wonder if it's going to be a Giant Ice Spider, bigger than a hound, that the Others ride (+1 to anyone that gets that reference).

 

[Silent Singer]

YES!

 

[FrejaSP]

Was my guess too
