Al son of Al: so i got a question for the head lady
Mesanna: guess thats me then
Al son of Al: and its about wbb on EU
Al son of Al: when u gonna fix it or finish it
Mesanna: I would rather delete it
Al son of Al: i would agree with that
Al son of Al: would be wise
Mesanna: I am not doing any other additions to the banks
Mesanna: that is my vote
Mesanna: *shrugs*
Al son of Al: that was my question i think, i can only ask one, right?
Mesanna: you may ask another
Al son of Al: noice
Al son of Al: do u have any plans to add a new dungeon or something to retail
Al son of Al: or is it all about legacy
Mesanna: Please understand this
Mesanna: we have never said and never will say we are not going to continue with production
Mesanna: it is not all about NLS
Mesanna: I hope that answers your question

Running Wild: Good evening
Kyronix: Hello!
Running Wild: I am here to talk about Community Collevtions
Running Wild: There has been an effort on several shards to reintroduce theres forgotten areas to the game
Running Wild: through role play and Governor run events
Kyronix: That sounds fun
Running Wild: We have fill the Zoos and are working on the Museums
Running Wild: What we were wondering is would there be any chance of adding some different turn in items to the lists>
Running Wild: ?
Running Wild: For example some of the new animals to the zoo
Kyronix: We have talked about adding new content to these collections, especially the Zoo
Running Wild: More insturments and other items at the library and Museum
Kyronix: Since we have many new species that would make wonderful additions to the collection
Kyronix: Requires a bit of work to expand the area
Running Wild: Yes Sir it would, and we have been running some excellent events people really enjoy
Kyronix: And you know how that goes, planning and permitting, especially in Moonglow...very particular neighbors there
Running Wild: Just to turn in new species for now would be great
Running Wild: and after that, it would be really nice if a few different rewards could be added
Kyronix: Easier to add new rewards to the collection, and we have some ideas in our backlog
Running Wild: we have some basic ideas we could email nothing too fancy
Kyronix: Would love to hear your feedback, please send it in
Running Wild: it would really make that area great for getting new and returning players interested
Running Wild: And give us great content area for our player run events
Kyronix: Indeed!
Running Wild: If you would please take it under consideration it would be appreciated
Mesanna: We will
Running Wild: That is all, We are just having so much fun, but those additions would just add a new level to it for vetran players who have 120 taming
Running Wild: thank you for your time
Kyronix: Thanks for your questions!
Mesanna: most welcome
Mesanna: thank you
Running Wild: The museum really could use additions to its turn in list
Mesanna: Greetings
Jack: Hail.
Jack: *tips jingasa*
Jack: Why did the reapers stop casting spells on us?
Bleak: Which spells?
Misk: i don't know, why did the reaper stop casting spells on us?
Mesanna: First I have heard of it
Mesanna: since when?
Jack: Now they only damage you if you walk into it.
Kyronix: Perhaps they felt it was time to leave? Was their bark too big for their bite?
Mesanna: we will look into it
Jack: *nods*
Kyronix: Surely we will investigate the root cause
Jack: Thanks.
Jack: Have a good evening.
Mesanna: you also
Mesanna: thank you

Mesanna: what exactly are you wanting to do there?
Tim: hunting, tmaps, etc

Bleak: This feature request is still in the system
Nyre Lars: right but is there an ETA?
Mesanna: Since he is our only Eng he is being pulled between Production and NLS
Bleak: In terms of when we can add it to the EC. We are locked in on NL so sometime after that
Mesanna: so I do not expect that to be touched this year
Nyre Lars: Okay thank you

Mesanna: it is on our radar to look into
Nyre Lars: again Wlecome Parallox
Nyre Lars: Have a good night

Dyna: First off, just want to thank you all for the event quest books
Dyna: Absolutely love the memory tracking those provide
Mesanna: glad you are enjoying them
Dyna: Second, just a suggestion, I know it's a long shot
Dyna: I know many of us would pay for custom castles on production
Dyna: not sure if that would alleviate some of the concerns about having them 'everywhere' or not
Mesanna: you mean to customize your castle on production?
Dyna: Yes, as an account upgrade similiar to house storage
Mesanna: No we won't be doing that any time soon
Dyna: *nods*
Mesanna: sorry
Dyna: That's all I wanted to suggest, thank you :)
Mesanna: good evening
Brightstar: hello!
Brightstar: First, as someone who took a long break from UO, I'm having more fun than ever
Mesanna: Wonderful
Brightstar: My question
Brightstar: is regarding
Brightstar: thieves
Brightstar: I'm wondering whether it would be possible for a guild to choose
Brightstar: whether thieving was allowed or not
Brightstar: We're having issus with tram thieves
Brightstar: who join a guild and then at event turn-in, say,
Brightstar: use that opportunity to steal and then quit the guild
Brightstar: so my suggestion is that perhaps it could be a setting for a guild leader
Brightstar: or that when you claim something
Brightstar: at a Treasures event
Brightstar: that item might drop insured, if the player had the gold for insurance
Brightstar: in Tram
Mesanna: maybe a toggle to prevent guild stealing?
Brightstar: *nods*
Mesanna: we will have to really look into it more to give a definate answer
Brightstar: Thank you so much for considering it
Mesanna: good suggestion
Brightstar: Thank you!
Mesanna: good evening
Anne Nomilly: Good evening *smiles*
Anne Nomilly: hope you are all having a wonderful Valentines Day
Mesanna: we are sharing it with you guys

Mesanna: *grins* yes that is true
Anne Nomilly: but we are happy to have you!
Anne Nomilly: I have two questions if I may
Mesanna: sure
Anne Nomilly: First, totally selfish question...will you be adding additional items to stuff I can throw away for turn in points?
Mesanna: sure got any suggestions
Mesanna: will be happy to add them
Anne Nomilly: Mostly holiday items, token trading for sets and collections are a great hobby but
Anne Nomilly: you can go through alot of cauldrons, for example
Anne Nomilly: to get the set you want
Mesanna: lol
Anne Nomilly: (250+)
Mesanna: that is doable
Anne Nomilly: *smiles*
Mesanna: we have not added to the list in a while
Anne Nomilly: thank you!
Anne Nomilly: Second question...have you seen the report of the Reflect Physical Damage "loop" with monsters since the publish?
Mesanna: yes

Mandrake: Evening Sir and Madame
Mandrake: Thanks for holding up this historic game :)
Mandrake: One thing
Mandrake: even as a vet player, I dont know how all the store items are
Mandrake: is it possible to add to try them on test before committing to buy it?
Mesanna: we do when we first introduce them
Mandrake: I cant find any info on that.
Mesanna: not going to put every item we sell on TC for display
Mandrake: Well, its items you want to buy like set or colors
Mandrake: so you could spend your buy on test
Mandrake: without it withdraw
Mandrake: to try it
Mandrake: before buy it on prodo
Mesanna: oh wait
Mandrake: nor is it detailed pics of it
Mesanna: are you asking to be able to use your coins on TC without actually using them?
Mandrake: and my eyes not getting better... *grins*
Mandrake: Yes mam
Mesanna: so you can check it out here then go onto production and get it
Mesanna: I get it now
Mandrake: Right
Mesanna: Interesting
Mandrake: so that I can test a buy
Mandrake: and maybe spend more cuz I like it
Mesanna: I got you
Mesanna: hrm interesting idea
Mandrake: I want few stuff
Mandrake: but need to find one in game
Mandrake: to look at it
Mandrake: first
Mandrake: is hard
Mandrake: Hope you could consider that :)
Mesanna: we will consider it
Mandrake: Have a fantastic evening.
Mesanna: we have to talk it out
Mesanna: good evening
Harmony: Happy hallmark holiday
Harmony: So.. while vendor search has been annoying, it has been working wonderfully in the most unexpected ways
Harmony: If you search for something, get no result, then search for something else, you'll get the result of the prior search
: [Crystal] Harmony says: If you search for something, get no result, then search for something else, you'll get the result of the prior search
Harmony: Now if you switch between vendor and safe search
Harmony: You'll get the prices of the items on the safes
Harmony: Makes me wonder why isn't that just a thing to begin with
Harmony: Knowing the safe price
Harmony: Maybe Bleak can make that permenant?
Harmony: In addition to a couple of new search queries?
Mesanna: Bleak is reading
Mesanna: are you saying you can get auction prices to show
Mesanna: in vendor search
Harmony: Yes
Harmony: by switching your search back and forth when its lagging
Harmony: so I do a search for an item in vendors
Harmony: get the message too many results for this search error
Harmony: then try searching for same item on safe
Bleak: Auctions are ever changing
Harmony: get the same result too many search results
Bleak: Yesterdays price may not be todays price
Harmony: Well it is giving a price, so even that is helpful even if it is an old price
Bleak: and the system is not updated to keep up with it
Harmony: Still gives a helpful point of reference even if the result is old
Harmony: Anyhow could you also add these two search parameters
Harmony: Hue ID #
Harmony: Item ID #
Harmony: for searching something
Harmony: also in the time being add Item ID # to the interior decorator?
Mesanna: one sec
Bleak: I'm not making any promises that it will get added but I will consider it
Harmony: Finally, I love all the new deco wearables you have added lately, especially the mana shield. Still holding out hope I'll be able to hold a musical instrument one soon. Thank you for all your help and reading.
Harmony: mana shield aka Orb Shield
Mesanna: thank you
Harmony: Have a lovely evening
Hammersmith: hello
Mesanna: good evening
Hammersmith: i have two items please
Hammersmith: first, Lady Brightstar made note of guild thieves
Hammersmith: I would like to toss out another option as my guild has had issue with this
Hammersmith: could we have a check box on the insurance menu to auto insure drops?
Hammersmith: as a possibility
Mesanna: no
Hammersmith: ok
Hammersmith: ;)
Mesanna: we are going to leave that one alone
Hammersmith: ok
Hammersmith: secondly we have issues with getting Luck onto sampire and fighter suits
Hammersmith: and having enough stats
Hammersmith: i was wondering if we could use the forged metal on armor
Hammersmith: if it was not mage armor if it could double the values
Hammersmith: for like spined and gold ingots
Kyronix: Life is a series of give and takes
Kyronix: Gotta make the tough decisions my crafting friend
Kyronix: Alas, this shall be your path to victory!
Hammersmith: ok
Hammersmith: thank you
Hammersmith: have nice evening
Mesanna: welcome
Mesanna: that was the last one
Mesanna: Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the Valentines day!
Mesanna: Thank you for joining us
Kyronix: Thanks everyone for attending, we love you!
Bleak: Thanks everyone for coming out. Happy Valentines!

Thanks for the notes @Larisa

Hopefully they add a whole bunch of items to the list to give points for cleanup. I have a whole slew of holiday cards / tokens I've been thinking about tossing for the storage. Also glad to see they are aware of at least one of the bugs introduced by Pub 112 and are working to fix... you would think that since they have historically seemed to introduce so many new bugs whenever they put new code in (at least the past few years) that they would do some extra testing or keep it on TC1 a little longer.

I can't believe that they didn't know that reapers didn't cast anymore. It's only been like that for what? 10 years or more?
It's been so long that I've been to what I call Reaper Point that I hadn't realized the loss of the magic. They were good training foe for up and coming mages. Damn!

Everyone keep quiet about the Deceit brazier or they'll bork that up too!

Yes but if you live where they spawn you like it. It was difficult for others to shop at my house because you could not run them away if you are shopping with a toon with no skills or armor.

Also can't believe they did not know this..

Was up till 4 am redoing one of my roofs.

Obviously Misk doesn't know.

Just another confirmation that if/when you report bugs it's a joke to the entire UO team.

Looks more like a clown show and less like a development team.



P.S. - Can someone inform Mesanna as to the proper use of "your" and "you're".

- Spaghetti speech.

So the new guy managed to not once greet back when greeted by various players? Parked his char AFK right at his first M&G. Well done. (I stand corrected, indded he did two times :cool:)

The reaper story is also fun to follow since it was on their forums since at least 2020. Yet no developer or moderator dared to read and file it. They were all busy bullying popps.

The rest seems everyday stuff. New soulstone color for money - "great idea". Some follow ups on year old promises - "not before 2023". It feels more of a slapstick episode rather than having any meaningful content. But hey, that's exactly what I'm here for.

That made me laugh, but it was actually very close to the truth... I used to be scared of Reapers, they were horrible, now they are just grumpy trees. I wonder if the player that suggested things went awry for Reapers when Reaper Form became a thing is actually right. They probably broke Reapers and had no idea how to fix them. The usual story.

Mods on the forum have ZERO ability to do ANYTHING other than mod the forum no matter what you think.
I am so glad that you have unfettered access to the internal workings of UO, did you hack them or what? Maybe since you know what the DEVs know then maybe you should post all this VAST knowledge so others may know.

Thanks Larissa for grabbing it all but I find that hard to read - Here is an abridged version with Q&A and the lines consolidated and the Hi and bye fluff pulled out.

Mesanna: the venus fly trap is a trash barrel
Mare Jade Sky: but is so big
Mesanna: but loves the sun and bugs the sacificial alter that is smaller. there are other options
Mare Jade Sky: for new players it is just something to think on

Anyhow could you also add these two search parameters : Hue ID #, Item ID # for searching something also in the time being add Item ID # to the interior decorator?
Bleak: I'm not making any promises that it will get added but I will consider it

Hammersmith: first, Lady Brightstar made note of guild thieves. I would like to toss out another option as my guild has had issue with this. could we have a check box on the insurance menu to auto insure drops? as a possibility
Mesanna: no we are going to leave that one alone

Hammersmith: secondly we have issues with getting Luck onto sampire and fighter suits and having enough stats i was wondering if we could use the forged metal on armor if it was not mage armor if it could double the values for like spined and gold ingots
Kyronix: Life is a series of give and takes. Gotta make the tough decisions my crafting friend. Alas, this shall be your path to victory!

I stopped reading after Tim asked for yet another color of soulstone and they said "sure we can do that".
Yep. Honestly I don't blame the Devs for saying "yes" to this because it's literally taking the red soulstone and bumping it up a few hues and adding it to the store. This is like the ideal request because it takes maybe 30min to code and 30 seconds to test; this is the request you do on a Friday at 8am and tell your boss your coding the new soulstone all day... meanwhile you are at the bar at 11am lol.

This is also why I kind of go "meh" and shrug when we get something like this year's valentine gift or some new decoration in the UO store or some new reskin or something else. There are so many requests made at these M&G (and I'm sure even more via email that we don't see) that I think are 100% useless and really are just people feeding their pixel crack addiction. The unfortunate part is that some of these requests actually do take some time / effort from the Devs to code which has a ripple effect to creating new functional content that I like.... but UO to me has always been give and take so it is what it is (I know some people won't understand that).

Jack: Why did the reapers stop casting spells on us?
Bleak: Which spells?
Misk: i don't know, why did the reaper stop casting spells on us?
Mesanna: First I have heard of it since when?
Jack: Now they only damage you if you walk into it.
Kyronix: Perhaps they felt it was time to leave? Was their bark too big for their bite?

Misk and Kyronix, do not leave your Day Job.

no pictures yet?
Sneak peek. Took me many hours to get the rocks for the lava fall to be just right.
The fall parts do not line up the same in the 2 clients. SO I wanted to get it to work for both.
Also that lava id white in CC.
I cant match the green carpet and gozas in the Swamp area.
