I just tried using it - and its not working for me? ... lol

It works, you have to be near the bank. It goes into your bank with no confirmation words.

I got one of my usual common colors.

So many things could be said about this.

I heard she really dislikes the glacial hue and perhaps bears.

It's nice to see her working hard, enforcing rules on Test Center 1.
Between the dragon a few days ago and these glacial animals today, I would say her PVM skills are quite impressive.

I heard there has been a person breaking the rules in help chat on Atlantic for well over a year.
Perhaps she will advance to PVP on Atlantic one day and enforce the rules there as well.

She doesn't know about the pet air freshener so maybe she doesn't know about the spammer in help chat.
Maybe she is just a bully who chooses victims that she thinks are smaller than her.
Who knows....

This may just be my favorite post and pictures of 2022.
Good stuff.

Why is she getting so angry about that? Has she ever actually looked at her own appearance? That outfit she wears to every M&G is so ugly. She complains she has no time to do anything and she wastes time going to the Test server for this? Unbelievable...

Isn't her entire suit at the meat and greets glacial armor? She probably thinks someone is trying to copy her, but really we just want nice looking things .
It used to be. She changed to a black suit.

I also found it odd that she said she did not like the color. Maybe she wore it as a joke. I would do the same. Wear the most hideous color that I could make.

More importantly messanna's feelings should be unknown and never applied in her job..
I find this statement completely ridiculous. If you look at the history of computer games the developers made what they wanted. They named characters after their teams or friends or pets or whatever. They included inside jokes they did what they wanted.

The team does what they want right now. They are making NL the way they want. They are not asking us what we want.

UO is her game. The advantage of being the boss.

My opinion: It's not that the outfit is ugly, it just doesn't pair well with her hair color.

Anonymously picking on people they do not know.

Really what game have you played that was made by a non feeling robot that had no personal perspective.

I was a teacher for 18 years. I was not a robot that did not place personal experience and my opinions into the classes.

I can see that grades lower than 9 are kinda robotic because there is not a lot of extra curricular mental expression going on with the students. Also I think if a teacher notices something that could be abuse at home, they are supposed to use their own feelings and experiences to tell a higher up.

Luckily I now own my own business I would not fit into this new workplace of robots that are not allowed to express themselves.

The game wasn’t always run by her so I’d imagine there’s quite a bit that she and other members of her team don’t know about the UO world, especially something as obscure as this.

You could do that if it was as small as UO. But devs at larger subscriber games have to limit their own influence to obscure things. (or they put things in that no one relates to them.)

We probably have pet skins because she owned one of those breeds. If that did not get the skins, that breed was certainly chosen by her.

UO was made by a guy who at 16 wore a robe and a crown. (one of my wifes friends was in RTV classes and her group interviewed him in High School and he wore that) Pretty ignorant to say the beginning developers and current ones do not put there own things into it.

The game wasn’t always run by her so I’d imagine there’s quite a bit that she and other members of her team don’t know about the UO world, especially something as obscure as this.
It is on the list when you say help commands.

Was bad when she asked which tub they used. But pet dying did start with a Tub on Test Center. I think it was Draconi.

"Thank you for reporting this issue to us. I will check back with the team on the issue." is certainly nothing a non feeling root would say. Yet it's also nothing Mesanna would say. You don't have to act like a freaked out teenager to show some passion :)

More funny though, she doesn't seem to learn - presenting herself every other month as the laughing stock of official UO. I swear they could make a reality show following her around all day.

So yall don't like the robot or the human version. I never liked Orville Redenbachers bow tie, but he makes some damn good Tender White popcorn. I sure wont stop eating it cause I prefer bolo ties. And yes I know him personally about as much as you know Bonnie.

Hey you guys, enough. I didn't know either and I have played a long, long, long time. I am not a fangirl either. She did fix the EJ thing fast too. As for the tattletale identity, that Spring asked for hue #1100 and said "enjoy " as she/he left. Trusted friend saw it. So who knows .

I can kind of understand their point because no 2 people can agree on what should be on a shard like NL or everybody wants something special added. I would be happy if it were a pre pub 16 with consensual PvP.

Im that Spring that asked the person if he could dye the rides 1100 he said no. that wasnt today, it wasnt even yesterday. I didnt call a gm on him why the heck would I? Wow some folks just stand on test and write down everything players say, unreal.

Unfortunately, it feels that way with Mesanna and the decisions made for UO.
It feels like if she asked 100 people if they wanted X hue added to the game and all 100 said yes, she wouldn't allow it purely because she doesn't like it.
I personally feel (me and my damned feelings) she's the worst producer UO has had, after recently hearing about how she treated Stratics in the background, she shouldn't even be working on the game at all, in my opinion.

Reading some of the older posts, there have been some issues in the past with glacial color cloth also but in production shards?

im sure the people here know the real story how it happen i skim read most the time i get the jest of it not the details of it and an em gave out items from a tub ?or cloth blah blah after that either way i don't know the facts in detail nor do i care lol

i do find it strange this team seemed surprised by the pet dyes they been around LONG time i to sometimes have a brain fade so maybe that's all it was or not who knows

I don't see the issue here honestly... and I ain't never been shy about bashing the Devs or Mesanna. Glacial hue has been a trigger for a while. I am sure in her mind she was thinking "Oh ****, someone has figured out another exploit" and set about trying to find out what was up.

If Glacial had not had the track record it has in the past then it is doubtful she would have reacted that way.

Also... when it comes to obscure crap being on TC (like the fresheners) and her not knowing. So? How is that a big deal? The older we get, the more time we spend in game... the more of the mundane trivial crap we forget about. I doubt any of us over 40 are immune to that. Under 40? shup and wait... you will get there too....

Some of your statements are factual and make sense but ones like this show your limit of knowledge in the gaming industry.

Perhaps you just don't see it and you mean well but Mesanna is killing this iteration of Ultima Online and you seem to strongly support her efforts in doing so.

I'm not sure what's worse here; the fact that someone actually reported another player for having glacier pets on TC1 or that the producer of the game actually showed up to address the issue (again where is the QA lead for something on TEST CENTER).

I think my biggest issue here is that some loser actually reported someone on TC1; whoever that was needs to get a life. I don't really have an issue with a Dev showing up to investigate to ensure it's not an exploit that can be done on a PROD shard. I do think it's a bit odd that though that it was the highest ranking member of the team... you would think she would have a million other things to do and she would have someone else check it out... you know...like maybe the guy you have in charge of QA? I wouldn't really trash Mesanna for asking about the situation because it seems like she had a general idea about how it was done and the glacier color might be an easter egg she didn't know about (I didn't know there was glacier). That said, she does lose points for her comments which weren't really needed given the person was within the rules of the game and I'd deduct a few more points if she really thinks that person is going to come clean and tell her what illegal exploit they used do it and if it can be done on a PROD shard.

FYI - The give air command still works on TC1... for now

Oh for pete's sakes she stopped goofy and his EJ plans. Really fast too.

I don't think she's stopped anything. I'm not exactly sure she can stop anything.

I'm not sure which goofy EJ plans you're talking about. The person in help chat on Atlantic is still spamming. Has been doing so for well over a year.
Mesanna obviously is not stopping that. Seems like she can't.

If you're talking about Test Center 1, I thought she stopped goofy EJ plans when she added the rope and area restrictions in response to the dragon.
She didn't exactly fix that really fast.

If you're talking about the Ettin on Test Center 1, she fixed it about as good as she did the first time with the dragon.
She didn't exactly fix that really fast either.
