[Mesanna]: Hello everyone
[Kyronix]: Greetings!
[Mesanna]: lets begin shall we
[Mesanna]: Good evening
[ZARIGANI]: Right
[ZARIGANI]: heloo
[ZARIGANI]: I am from Japan and will be using a translation tool as I proceed.
[Mesanna]: ok
[ZARIGANI]: Sorry if I didn't get some things across well or if it took me a long time to respond.
[ZARIGANI]: But I'll do my best, because I really need a favor!
[ZARIGANI]: What I would like to request is a fish tank related update.
[ZARIGANI]: It is not interesting that when a creature in the Fish Tank dies, the graphics of the fish bones are all the same.
[Mesanna]: what type of update are you looking for
[Mesanna]: we have added new creatures in the past
[Mesanna]: nice suggestion
[ZARIGANI]: Since you have the graphics when you catch the fish, I would like you to show the carcass as it was when it was alive.
[Mesanna]: we will add that to the list
[ZARIGANI]: I'd like to display it in my room in its non-dead graphic form.
[ZARIGANI]: AND
[ZARIGANI]: I would like to see an aquarium built where the aquarium creatures can be dedicated as points of interest!
[ZARIGANI]: If there is a zoo, I thought it would be fun to have an aquarium as well.
[Mesanna]: when we redo the zoo collections we can add something like that
[Mesanna]: thank you
[ZARIGANI]: Thanks
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Nablarch]: Good Evening!
[Kyronix]: Hello!
[Nablarch]: Nice to meet you.
[Bleak]: Hello
[Nablarch]: Happy 25th anniversary.・ Thank you for your support all the time.
[Kyronix]: Huzzah!
[Mesanna]: Most welcome
[Nablarch]: I have a request regarding Sea Game
[Nablarch]: Could you consider the creation of an arena
[Nablarch]: for naval battle in Trammel?
[Nablarch]: Can I explain the background?
[Mesanna]: The other arenas that were built did not go over that well
[Mesanna]: not sure that would either
[Mesanna]: but if you want to send us your details we will review it as a team
[Nablarch]: Thank you ver y much
[Mesanna]: most welcome
[Nablarch]: I am going to send you the details by mail or someting
[Mesanna]: email yes
[Mesanna]: you have my address right?
[Nablarch]: Ok
[Nablarch]: That is all from me
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Nablarch]: Thank you for this oppoortunitay to talk to you
[Mesanna]: of course
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Cutbow]: hello and happy 25th and many more years of your presence
[Parallax]: Hello
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Kyronix]: Hip Hip Hooray!
[Cutbow]: ummmm what do you do Parallax?
[Mesanna]: maybe by 30 we can have another party
[Mesanna]: He is the newest member of the team
[Mesanna]: the is a dev
[Cutbow]: *fingers crossed for 30*
[Cutbow]: i have a question regarding memorial items at the abyss house that lost memorial items on Napa
[Mesanna]: that was a players house
[Cutbow]: few months ago, owner said the memorial for original owner was gone
[Cutbow]: some sentimental items
[Mesanna]: As of right now there have been no memorials removed yet
[Cutbow]: will we be able to replicate at the new memorial area and how
[Mesanna]: if you are talking about a players memorial
[Cutbow]: someone did
[Mesanna]: no
[Mesanna]: there will not be any decorations at the new one
[Cutbow]: they removed elf bench, flowers, teddy bear, Medusa statue
[Cutbow]: all missing
[Mesanna]: no items put out for a memorial would ever be replaced
[Cutbow]: understood
[Mesanna]: but we are removing all the memorials in game
[Cutbow]: just trying to figuye out who removed our items and didn't give a chance to claim them
[Mesanna]: to have them all in one place
[Mesanna]: What you do not understand is once you give items to a EM they will not be returned to a player
[Cutbow]: our EM who placed them has long be gone
[Cutbow]: been long gone
[Mesanna]: I have no idea what happened to these items
[Cutbow]: just a bit of a mystery to us
[Mesanna]: can we help you with anything else?
[Cutbow]: can you add luck impacting claiming wheelbarrow plants in rare hues please?
[Kyronix]: Well those items are essentially a slot machine, so while the luck stat doesn't impact what comes out of those items
[Kyronix]: The very real aspect of luck does
[Kyronix]: So we don't need to have double luck
[Kyronix]: Because then they cancel each other out
[Kyronix]: and you get misfortune
[Cutbow]: okay thanks for answering
[Cutbow]: gnight all
[Mesanna]: night
[Kyronix]: Thanks for the question!
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Bytor]: Good evening
[Bytor]: I have 2
[Bytor]: but first thank you for the 25th party, I had a lot of fun
[Bytor]: very creative on your part
[Mesanna]: good we enjoyed it
[Bytor]: 1st
[Bytor]: On Catskills and I know you all are busy

[Bytor]: Thank you
[Bytor]: you are awesome !
[Mesanna]: sometimes =)
[Bytor]: 2nd is for Kyronix
[Bytor]: It has been awhilee since I have asked you about the Pit and Myrmidex warriors dropping crystals
[Bytor]: I believe you said 1 in 20 or 25 should have one
[Kyronix]: Sounds about right
[Bytor]: but with all the recent updates fixes etc
[Bytor]: they again are very far and few in between
[Bytor]: We run the Pit several times a month
[Bytor]: so in a time when you have a min, could you please look again. Thank you
[Kyronix]: Nothing has changed recently
[Kyronix]: But happy to to some insect inpsection
[Bytor]: well, I was thinking along the lines of when sometimes a patch or hot fix goes in
[Bytor]: some of my em items in my museum lose their ability like sound
[Bytor]: it just stops making sounds on occasion
[Bytor]: thats why I asked
[Bytor]: maybe something got bogged down in the drop rate
[Bytor]: thats all
[Mesanna]: we will look into the drop rate
[Bytor]: thats all I had had. Thank you
[Mesanna]: make sure nothing got stepped on
[Mesanna]: by mistake
[Bytor]:![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
[Mesanna]: thank you
[Bytor]: thank you for the trash barrel
[Mesanna]: welcome
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Napoleon]: Bonsoir
[Napoleon]: I have a 2 part question
[Napoleon]: It seems everyone in fel is openly using the Orion client wihout punishment, is there an amnesty on this?
[Napoleon]: 2nd part of question,
[Mesanna]: no but get caught and your account will be actioned
[Napoleon]: some people would like to play on your official classic client in fel however can't because
[Napoleon]: select nearest hostile, brings up
[Napoleon]: neutral animals, dead targets, and red/grey guild members, this has been reported over half a dozen times
[Napoleon]: please let us play official client
[Mesanna]: one sec
[Mesanna]: we are in a discussion here one sec
[Mesanna]: are you asking us to take the feature out of the orion client into UO
[Napoleon]: no
[Mesanna]: is that what you are asking?
[Napoleon]: people are forced to play orion because
[Napoleon]: when the press
[Napoleon]: select nearest hostile
[Mesanna]: that is what I just said
[Napoleon]: wait one moment please
[Napoleon]: there is a bug that is fixed in orion
[Mesanna]: we are not going to bring that client into UO
[Napoleon]: that we would like fixed in uo
[Mesanna]: and if we start picking and choosing what we wil land will not
[Mesanna]: where do we stop
[Mesanna]: its a slippery slope
[Napoleon]: okay i am not asking for a feature haha
[Mesanna]: that I am not sure we should walk
[Napoleon]: there is a bug in classic client
[Napoleon]: that when you press
[Napoleon]: select nearest hostile
[Napoleon]: it targets neurtral animals, dead players/pets, and red/gret guild members
[Napoleon]: so people have to download a different client just to play the game
[Napoleon]: it has been reported about 6 times on official forum i can send links
[Kyronix]: Those are hostiles in the eyes notoriety checks
[Kyronix]: So what you are reporting isn't a bug
[Napoleon]: okay they are not though because
[Napoleon]: if i cast earthquake, it will not hit a guild member
[Napoleon]: so they are not hostile,
[Kyronix]: That's not what we are referring to in this situation
[Kyronix]: We all hear what you are saying
[Napoleon]: you need to differentiate orange players to neutral animals
[Kyronix]: And we all know what you want, but we disagree with your logic to get there
[Kyronix]: Thanks for the feedback as always
[Napoleon]: okay jsut make everyone dl illegal client then thanks
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Giselle]: hi there! first, thanks for the deceit event, some great reward picks!
[Giselle]: my first question: How long do you keep the shard/server backups that support rollback when a shard crashes (weeks, months, etc)?
[Kyronix]: Glad you are having fun!
[Parallax]: Glad you are enjoying it!
[Mesanna]: why this question
[Mesanna]: just curious
[Giselle]: will get to those details in a second![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
[Mesanna]: Just so you know we will not be changing any of our backup procedures
[Giselle]: no worries, won't be asking for you to change backup, just wondering how long you keep them?
[Mesanna]: why
[Giselle]: Not sure you want to answer, so should I move to next question?
[Mesanna]: I would like to know why and since you are not answering questions go ahead
[Giselle]: Bonded pets are getting erroneously deleted, are you interested in reproducing the problem on test center with me (pets that got deleted are on test center, by chance)?
[Mesanna]: OK you have to understand something
[Mesanna]: to get a pet back we would have to revert the WHOLE shard
[Mesanna]: that is not going to happen
[Giselle]: not true
[Giselle]: you can lookup the item in the backup
[Mesanna]: no
[Mesanna]: we can not
[Giselle]: it's a database
[Giselle]: indexed by itemIDs
[Mesanna]: Anything else?
[Giselle]: Are you interested in reproducing the pet deletion bug?
[Mesanna]: If we could get someone to give us details
[Mesanna]: of course
[Giselle]: details posted here:
[Giselle]: Bonded 5 slot fire beetle was deleted (went poof)
[Mesanna]: but we have asked and tried to reproduce it
[Mesanna]: if you have steps to reproduce of course
[Giselle]: I have the exact pet on test center
[Mesanna]: please email me
[Giselle]: I'd take the time to reproduce the problem with you, but would need to verify you actually have the code instrumented on TC to catch the issue
[Giselle]: part of the problem relates to line of site checks
[Mesanna]: Misk or myself can do it
[Giselle]: can you PM me on that thread I posted, to arrange a time/date to reproduce?
[Mesanna]: email us when you have it figured out
[Mesanna]: anything else
[Giselle]: I have the exact pet on TC as the character was copied before it was deleted on prod
[Giselle]: one more question:
[Giselle]: Any chance you can add the higher resolution kingdom reborn graphics to EC (machine specs have improved alot!), and would you be opposed to a 3rd party releasing an add-in/etc with the kingdrom reborn graphics for the enhanced client?
[Mesanna]: no
[Mesanna]: we are going forward not back
[Giselle]: those graphics are higher resolution ...
[Giselle]: not opposed to a 3rd party add-in for ec?
[Mesanna]: we are not going to be redoing all the art and what we did try did not work to our satisfaction
[Mesanna]: anything else
[Giselle]: are you opposed to a 3rd party doing an add-in for EC?
[Mesanna]: Yes it won't work
[Mesanna]: getting art into UO is a detailed procedure
[Giselle]: let the 3rd party figure that out, would you be OK if a 3rd party did that?
[Mesanna]: NO
[Mesanna]: it is not going to work
[Mesanna]: have a good evening
[Raven]: hello all

[Parallax]: Thank you!
[Mesanna]: good evening
[Doc Holiday]: hiya
[Doc Holiday]: so i'd like to hear more about the afk - nerf / ban situation
[Mesanna]: the only thing we will say is that event was designed for active game play
[Doc Holiday]: timeout - 30 minutes for "afk" in deciet?
[Doc Holiday]: i see
[Doc Holiday]: so its like a
[Doc Holiday]: speed camera?
[Mesanna]: That is all we are going to say
[Mesanna]: anything else
[Doc Holiday]: yes
[Doc Holiday]: when someone gets the 30 min thing, does it "mark" your account?
[Doc Holiday]: as a three day ban would?
[Mesanna]: *shakes head* different for every person
[Mesanna]: any other topic you would like to discuss
[Doc Holiday]: ok, high seas
[Doc Holiday]: when are you going to give us rideable seahorses?
[Mesanna]: Never
[Mesanna]: tried it years and years ago
[Mesanna]: will not work
[Mesanna]: Shoot I was actually in QA when they tried to add in rideable sea horses
[Doc Holiday]: not really cool that you are implementing rules though that you are not willing to discuss the reprec
