hehe, at the risk of being hung for not being a hunter.. but rather a gardener, mule and merchant... Plants take on average 16 days to grow and harvest, some you can only get through hunting and others more luck and skill. For big gardeners who run floral shop vendors where you have folks growing 500 to 1000 plants at a time grouping these seeds was a HUGE storage savings. ( and there are a dedicated few out there who do) To have it all go poof really blows.

Now I didn't notice anything else in my pack or house disappear, but if you were over item count or weight it said stuff would fall to the ground. And I did notice that for a time the bags in my backpack even though 1 looked empty both listed 15 items per bag. So... who knows what other uses people found for this issue.

And gifts coming out today is a nice bonus and the loss of all those blasted webs all over I think is also awesome, I'd like to see some room on vendors for other stuff.

Looks like we're all still down? :(

I think the seed box issue is more than it just stealing seeds from other people.
From what I've read some ppl got back from than just seeds and the items they got back werent theirs.
Still miffed on why we didnt see it on Origin, but I'm guessing the numbers are so low on Origin and just a handful of ppl turned theirs in, we had no clue.
Maybe had we all gone there at the same time, we could've caught it =(

Stacked enough seeds yesterday to save 3000+ lockdowns. Saw the post after playing with the GT, and decided to take note of number of items at each house where seeds were. No lost items from those houses, nor anything missing or gained on the characters.

if i were to take a guess i'd say it probally involved the seeds of renewal

Testing through gameplay isn't the most effective means of testing. Especially if you take into account that often the most dedicated and skilled people looking for bugs will be those that are looking for ways to benefit themselves.
So, any given bug could well be found on Origin or TC, and sat on by the finder to be used on production shards. Even being able to mess with other people can be valuable to some people.

Anyone else think that the down time is pretty excessive considering this appeared to be a fairly minor publish? Is something involved that they're not telling us about?

One hell of a pandoras box the devs created.

Playrs can lose items to other players, and.....here's the kick in the groin,...they won't replace lost items. And it's their doing, no??

Perhaps the infamous UO hamsters chose this moment to go on strike?

Part of the gardener's toolbox bug was found and reported. However, it was not understood until yesterday. It was reported early on that containers were dropping at people's feet. Now ask yourself why would this happen? Two possible reasons, the item count INCREASED, or the weight INCREASED. Why would either happen when the object was to reduce item count? The weight would have remained the same. It happened because people were getting back more than they put in.

FYI

For all you backpack gardeners and others with high item counts in your backpack, your heart shaped valentine candy box will be in your bank, unless its full too.
