I'm probably dead by now haha.

Outside my house with a released GD and White Wyrm on the balcony, 2 dragons on the roof and 2 dragons + another WW on ground floor when it happened.

After 20 years, how do they not have servers that dont crash all the time. Guess its time to use some of the Millions they have made to get better Tech team.

Can't decide what to do with my life now. Went outside but it's so bright! Need to watch Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings or James Bond to get my mind calm. Maybe bag some comic books, I think I might have bent a back cover corner slightly on one. Maybe organize my D&D books. I'm warning ya I can't cope with reality for extended periods.

This is proof.......... UO is a drug that has a dependency on the user.
Dragons don't mate and leave you baby dragons..... all I can say is your weird.....
By now you all should know the routine for the server repair...

if we "learn to live with things" nothing will ever change, it isn't human nature to accept every thing the way it is. we are driven to change things, or escape the things we cannot. that's why we have colonized nearly every inch of space on this planet. i'm with @Slayvite on this one, the damn rainbow puke turkey is gawd awful ugly and needs to be changed back.

Well.... due to how long I have been around uo and the various dev teams this is the status quo...
Its not gunna happen unless 90% of the players yipped about it and the way things are now...
Your sol my friend...
There is a handful of players and non players here in Stratics who might agree with you but its not going to change the fact that once they change something it takes a mass movement to change it again...
Your one guy who hates it .... your a grain of sand on a huge beach of sand
Yes your irritating but not something that cant be dusted off.
Now if it was a major glitch it might be reverted.. but as I see it your out of luck.
Im being realistic. There is hundreds of things needing fixing in UO...
Do you really think your peve of a look on a creature is more important then those real bugs we need fixing?

If we don't say anything, then it definitely won't change.

Ok, so here you tell him to stop complaining about it.

Then here you tell him the only way things will get changed is for enough people to complain about it. do you see where i am heading with this . . .

Well the art IS there already...
And as for real bugs needing fixing, other than the ones they introduce with every publish not many ever really get fixed.

Do you really think a handful from here have that sway over the Dev?? That's a better question...
It's rare that a temper tantrum thrown by 1 player and seconded by another goes further then the "yea...NO" pile.
Nothing with it is busted... its being used... little other then a scant few have complained in writing to the Dev.
Personally the rainbow can go but the size I do like alot. I use to hunt them and getting its tag was murder.
So you do not get my vote to change it.

Hmm perhaps my last meme wasn't clear enough.....


Wether it ever gets changed back or altered is a secondary concern of mine.
I shall always express my displeasure at the fact it was changed with NOBODY asking for it to be and i shall let them know at EVERY oppertunity and every M&G i am able to attend.

If a flea bites you often enough even though its only a minor irritation you still look at ways to deal with it.

he's not throwing a temper tantrum, he's showing his displeasure, and he has the right to do it. Why do you care if he complains and i support him? it is how movements get started after all.

:facepalm:

There is a super easy way to fix the phoenix issue that will please both camps.

Spawn. Both. Versions.

The small maroon eagles and the giant pink things. People get to choose which they want. Nobody "looses."

@Kyronix
they can leave the Rainbow puke turkey's at the turtle spawn, and put the normal Phoenix back where it belongs.

Re 486:
I'm thinkin' that the servers got "virtualized" at a few data centers years ago, which means:

"Server boundaries" make no sense at all any more. Overland Britannia shouldn't be divided into pieces any more. You shouldn't lag a half dozen times on the road to Minoc with all your clothes getting taken off and put back on repeatedly.

Oh well. That's as likely to get fixed as another design flaw present from Day One: Right mouse button on classic client should mean "move in that direction" only, and not "accidentally disappear a spell icon."
