[petemage]

Welcome to the In Game Dye Store !!

Yea, it's not like five dozen people here have made perfectly sound suggestions how they would love to give them their money.

 

[Captn Norrington]

Where are they held - Blackthorn's Castle?

Yes, the throne room of Blackthorn's castle in Trammel.

 

[Mervyn]

Can someone ask a question for me?

 

[Callise]

Can someone ask a question for me?

You still can't go???

 

[Uriah Heep]

Can someone ask a question for me?

When endless journey arrives, yuou can just make one of thsoe accounts and go ask

 

[TB Cookie [W]]

Can someone ask a question for me?

That whole episode made me laugh.


At the time, I thought it showed a modicum of good taste on behalf of Mesanna, I'd have done the same!

But I later slowly learned you have more of a grasp on game issues than I had given you credit for, and Mesanna had far less of a grasp than I had given her credit for.

 

[Uriah Heep]

lol

Well let me save y'all some time and energy and frustration. Having attended several and being somewhat disappointed in the answers (or political type non-answers) I have prepared for yall the transcripts for the next 6-8 (or more, if EJ is delayed) here already.

Player A: Good evening, and thank you for coming.
[Crystal] Player A says: Good evening, and thank you for coming.
Mesanna: Our Pleasure, glad to be here!
[Crystal] Mesanna says: Our Pleasure, glad to be here!
Player A: <insert any question here>
[Crystal] Player A says: <whatever question was asked>
Mesanna: That's not a bad idea, we will put it on our backlog of things to look at in the future. Right now tho we are solely focused on Endless Journey and not working on anything else until we have it ironed out.
[Crystal] Mesanna says: That's not a bad idea, we will put it on our backlog of things to look at in the future. Right now tho we are solely focused on Endless Journey and not working on anything else until we have it ironed out

[Crystal} Player B says: <insert routine question from UHall here>
Mesanna: This is the first we have heard of this, is this a new issue?
[Crystal] Mesanna says: This is the first we have heard of this, is this a new issue?
Player B: We have been asking and complaining about this for months! Everytime we do <action-such as trades at bank> the game <locks up/crashes/pick your own> and we have to restart
[Crystal] Player B says: We have been asking and complaining about this for months! Everytime we do <action-such as trades at bank> the game <locks up/crashes/pick your own> and we have to restart
Mesanna: this is news to me, Kyronix?
[Crystal} Mesanna says: this is news to me, Kyronix?
Kyronix: It seems to be a thing, but we cannot replicate it in order to troubleshoot it. But thank you for coming!
[Crystal] Kyronix says: It seems to be a thing, but we cannot replicate it in order to troubleshoot it. But thank you for coming!


Rinse and repeat these ad nauseum...

 

[Mervyn]

i actually think the devs just set up shills to ask stupid trammel cooking questions etc...

I cannot beleive that nobody asks:
ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE THE EC RUNNING SPEED THE SAME AS CC?

 

[Uriah Heep]

And what about the Phoenix?!?!?! *ducks*

 

[Mervyn]

I will be unable to attend due to clergy work.
Perhaps someone can ask for me about the EC:
Are there any plans to make the running speed the same as CC?
And regarding the casting speed on EC, when it's set to auto target current/self the casting speed is faster than CC, however when set to target cursor, the cast recovery is slower than CC. Can the two clients have the same casting time, regarless of targetting options?

 

[ShriNayne]

Is there any more info on the meet and greet from the 16th?

 

[Larisa]

Is there any more info on the meet and greet from the 16th?

I was unable to attend, and as of right now I only have a partial transcript that is missing the first 30 minutes of the meeting. I will be posting what I have soon, am working on it now. If anyone else attended and recorded the whole thing you can e-mail it to me at [email protected] and I will fill in the missing parts.

 

[Callise]

Sorry I didn't take notes - this is off the top of my head

Some things requested:
Earl Grey Tea, Rice Crops, Flower Dresses added to Blackhorn Reward, Elven potion so they can see the UO night/dark, Goblin gear
Someone came forward as an ATL castle raffle winner, but it was on one of their inactive accounts.
New Castle designs are still on the "to do" list
Old unicorn graphic from KR was requested, but given a hard no
A question regarding spawn in Blackthorn Dungeon and if their hit/resist points (I think) were correct

 

[Capt. Lucky]

@StarstrukK Get your ticket! Here's your chance

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Isn't Bennu like an Atlantic legend? I don't really know.

 

[Capt. Lucky]

"Keep the fires burning and your toes warm!!"

If I could place a stone oven on the first floor of my castle that would help. That still bugs me. I don't think they're gonna fix it?

 

[ShriNayne]

I completely forgot it was on, thanks anyway @Larisa

The things people ask just blows my mind. Except for the English Tea. People have been screaming for that forever

 

[Captn Norrington]

Yeah, he was one of the longest serving EM's ever and was probably the #1 most involved with the shard community on a day to day basis out of all EM's. Atlantic is a pretty transient shard with everything changing on a yearly basis, and he was one of the only stable things to stay around long-term. He kept the original storylines and culture of the shard alive too, otherwise it all would have been swallowed entirely by the "trade hub of UO" stuff with nothing else to make the shard unique.

 

[Mervyn]

This is all fake, the devs clearly have their own shill chars there to ask stupid trammel questions.

LOL I really don't have a good rebuttal for this

Being on Legends EM Avalon wasn't as widely known. But she would very often sign into Legends and have her coffee with us in the mornings. Numerous frequent chats with us. I miss her so bad. She was special.
