Coming together...Right Now! *UPDATE!*

*UPDATE* The sit-in has been rescheduled for next Sat. July 9th. due to unforeseen injury. Thank you for your understanding and support. I apologize for this ninth hour change.

Back in the day when the lag was terrible, and the UO community felt like the Dev team was no longer listening, we came together. We sat in at Lord British’s Castle and brought attention to the problem. When the crafters felt like they were not being heard, they came together in a Million Crafter March and brought attention to their grievances.

I now call up our community once more to unite and bring attention to the problems of the Origin Store and the Account Management. My guildmate, friend Bealank is in Brazil. There are the following problems with the Brazilian store: since the release of Publish 93 High Seas has been removed, she only has three choices in the Sovereigns packs, and the prices are double the US Origin Store prices. She has been asking for four years for the Stygian Abyss Expansion upgrade to be put in the Brazilian Origin store. She also cannot purchase the King’s Collection as it was in there for a week and then removed. When Mesanna and the Dev Team are asked, they point the finger at EA. When EA is asked, they point the finger back at Mesanna and Broadsword. I have spoken with both today and once again it was a fruitless endeavor. They pointed the finger at each other and did absolutely nothing.

I would like to ask the UO community to come together on July 2nd 9th at 7 pm EDT at Lord British’s castle on Atlantic Shard and let us make our voices heard. ALL UO players should be able to purchase the expansions. All UO players should be able to pay for their subscriptions without a headache, worry or extra steps. UO players should be able to update their credit card information without fear of losing their accounts because the system rejected a good card.

If you do not have a character on Atlantic, please make one and join us. Let us unite our voices and help ALL UO players have access to all UO content and be able to pay for their accounts.

Thank You

Luc of Legends

You'd be better off going outside into the desolate nothingness of Oregon and screaming your complaints at Richard Garriott himself than "coming together in-game" to get EA's attention.

Yeah, everyone created a Bob? was it? and crashed the shard over and over at Brit Bank.
There probably arent enough players left in UO to do that again...

@Uriah & @Victim... Sadly you are probably right, but at least we have our voices.

I believe this represents what i feel about things happening in game. (yes, it is political in nature but it represents the system of apathy. )


" First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.


Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

Nobody's going to come sit with you in a video game on a holiday weekend. Do yourself a favor instead and go outside, enjoy the fresh air and summer weather that day. Take your sister outside with you.

The two of you get too worked up over everything in UO and it can't be good for your health.

Actually I will and you are dead wrong about Luc and "Sister" I have known and been friends with "Sister" for a lot of years on Legends. Bealank is not someone I know beyond she helped me out once in a pinch and asked for nothing in return, least I can do is show my support for her and everyone else getting raked over the financial coals by EA. Jirel now does have a temper but there is nothing malicious about her and is in fact one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting and knowing over all these years. Perhaps people would see that side of her if they were not always telling her to seek mental health service or get on her meds.

Anyway I will try to be there Luc I have a Farmers' Market that day from 9am-1pm and a hour drive home. Assuming there is no escaped cow or pig crisis when I pull in :)

Thanks, thinking about either transferring a crafter or just some robes or sash or something with the date or something. I hope that other people that feel like EA/BS don't listen to the players come and join in. We can show EA/BS that we still love this game and we are family. (insert 70's disco music)

OT, ok you making want to get up and check out the local Farmer Market... maybe get some fresh Kale,some fruit and who knows what else.

So now that you're not going to be doing your sit-in tonight, please give my suggestion a try. This is a good weekend to enjoy the great outdoors. I'm already sunburned because I'm that idiot who doesn't use sunscreen!

Update 1000 sov = 13usd + taxes in Brazil. :(
And it used to be around 6 USD for the 1000 sov items.
Funny thing. It is 10 BRL (3 usd) cheaper to buy 2 500 sov from the store than buying 1,000.
And it is way cheaper to buy 5,000 sov than buying 5 time 1000 sov. The store makes no sense.
AND we still don't have the expansions available, which makes me so angry I could turn into a green monster of rage.

Good luck with that. We know Bonnie will just blame it on EA/Origin ;) Waste of time imho.

Go do something nice on that day. And when you come home you can still buy all the items from 3rd party shops that are not ripping players off. Win-Win. I mean for you and the shops :D

couple observations about the thread - Luc, won't be joining you at sit-in, for all the reasons listed, mostly the weather - Gypsy, love your sig - Tyrath, wish you lived nearby - and finally, Aran and Victim make me smile :)

If a vegan does crossfit, which one will they talk about first?
If a gun enthusiast rides motorcycles, which one will they talk about first?

You seem to not like other people talking about what interests them such as being vegan, but you have no issues constantly bringing up the two things I mentioned above. Just saying.... (No I am not a vegan)

:)

Nothing more American than guns and motorcycles, commie.

LOL, good to see some humor and such. But on the Vegan note.. (I tried to go Vegan. It didn't go well, but I still like my vegan recipes...Gypsy, you need to check out "Bake and Destroy: Good food for bad Vegans by Natalie Slayter (sp))

Here is a little song for you meat people....I love this song, no disrespect to the Vegans and Veggies. All in good fun.

Natalie Slater is a bit too adventurous for me. I tend to stick to folks like Dr. Michael Greger and John McDougall. ;)
