...and just when I think I have interpreting Fayled down to an exact science, I'm stunningly reminded that that's more of an ever evolving art form!

On a side note, we've heard a lot of big talk today from The Powers That Be... in fact the last time we heard this kind of talk it was about this time last year, and things got really... intersting... last year... ... let's just hope that this year the momentum can be maintained!

[/ QUOTE ] Oh man Do I hear that, Very rarely do they have any news, Although whats this about that astronomer in moonglow, whats that all about?

Anywho you know I had read some posts yesterday about the state of UO and all and got perty discouraged, Had thought that maybe just maybe UOs run was about to come to an end. But I tell ya what. After reading these couple of posts from the dev team Im feelin that we will be here in Ten more years complaining about the current state of UO

eh Anyone else notice an increase in new players on thier shards?

 

[Halister Marner]

Welcome Cal!

I don't suppose you have a large archive of cat pictures ready for posting?

Because someone really needs to pick up on that position.

 

[GreywolfUK]

WE have heard this many times over the years from the live team and UO gods in general, so I am sorry, if I doubt your words a little.

Words are easy, deeds are not. So PROVE IT.

Oh almost forgot, Welcome Cal, hope we don't drive you insane to much

In closing, please stay tuned. We have some amazing, well-scoped, and thoroughly achievable plans...

WEEEEE!!!!

Thanks for the giggles and all the good news. Welcome to the UO funnyhouse. Make sure you have a good flame-resistant suit. While some of us can be a little brutal at times, you actually perfectly described the UO player base: "a lot of them silly, most well-intentioned, but all of them passionate about the continued evolution of the Ultima universe". Looking forward to hear more from you in the near future!

Ya I like to see something different when I say, "Open my bank box now", "News", "guards" macro and see the old news from LONG ago. BTW Cal, welcome to UO.

 

[Llewen]

Good luck, and may the all the Deities and Demigods smile on your efforts.

 

[Basara]

How about all of them but the Cthulhu Mythos section of the original Dieties &amp; Demigods Cyclopedia? I'd rather not have to fight tentacled horrors in the next event...

 

[Guest]

Again I say please don't give Draconi ideas...

 

[Guest]

Mh, that guy knows Privateer 2. He cant be bad

By the way, USE A FREAKING WHOLE SITE TO TELL UO AND NON UO PLAYERS WHEN A STORY ARC BEGINS and what happens.
Take some artwork from concept design and show it!
Even its a model from warhammer. Annouce the event in a form which makes people think "wow, have to join that game, something is going on there".

The most epic story isnt epic or huge if you cant communicate it right.
Order Jeremy to write only about this or whatever.
Use the advantage of a non static world!

Even three new customers would pay out that effort in several month....

 

[imported_Ozymandies]

The efreet was on the cover of the DM Guide. I still have 2 copies.

But welcome, Cal! Hope you enjoy working on UO.

Hokies rule, btw.

It was Dieties, Demi-Gods and Hero's.

I want Stormbringer. (or, if we are getting to pick more, I'll take Coinspinner and Shieldbreaker from Sabrehagen's Book of Swords)

Dude, Woundhealer. 100% HP regen!

And the Deamon Buddah on the copy of the Players Handbook.

I still have my baby-blue Dungeons and Dragons box set (came out before the red box).

 

[imported_Ozymandies]

I don't have the box, but I still have the paperback blue rule-book that only went to level 3.

There are three major story arcs in the works culminating in what I can only describe for legal and marketing reasons as an “Epic Event” coming this Spring … Applying my First Rule of Molyneux, make that late Spring.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wow. I would bet 25 Million gold that the "Epic Event" coming late Spring would be the SA expansion.

 

[Shakkara]

Crusader and Privateer, finally someone with TASTE!

If it isn't, there's a strong likelihood for grumbling. Actually, there's pretty much always a strong likelihood for grumbling.
