Event is over! can't recall last time I had seen so many people gathered once. It was also nice to see so many EMs, new Advisors and Devs new and Old at one eyeful. Was also nice to share same space with His Grace!;p Forsooth, highest moment in life of a simple peasant such as I!!
I hope/think a proper transcript is gonna pop up somewhere. I can't manage anything proper, partly due to not being able to " hear" all of the powers that be.
TLDR about the event:
No huge new news regarding UO
RG&Starr were glad to see us and stuff!
We were all Hail to thee The King and stuff!
Minax appeared and ROFLED
Rainz popped up, doubtless trying to kill Lord British once more!
Rainz got killed by Minax
Exodus spawned and killed loads of people
People killed Exodus. Except mages who didn't.
Rainz resurrected, got a kingly pardon.
His Grace Lord British protector of the realm bestowed us with his Kingly Smiley " : ) "
Pretty normal Thursday evening tbh
P.S Neither Garriott nor Starr spoke a single word about SotA.
Some Screenies:
Lords British and Blackthorn standing on sides of Com Crystal. Minax is the head-off-screen lass. Besides him, unfortunately named and most treacherous Mage "Anon". EMs are doubling as royal guards, which was a fun touch. Loads of people;most standing on one another.
Minax Rofls, lol. New Advisors busy making a nice looking triangle while their realm is in mortal peril!D:
Surprise visit from infamous Rainz! Some reminiscing and randomness followed.
Exodus dropped by. People more dispersed now, easier to appreciate the sheer scale of crowd this pulled. I'm not much of a mace fighter but ofc, king must be protected! Rainz got killed by flamestrike
UO sure looks like a dead game to me.
His Grace Graces us with a royal smiley! MY IMMERSION IS NOW BROKEN BAD RP
Exodus got killed,Minax escaped. Dialogue between British and LBR worth reading, specially if you are an optimist with a tinfoil hat.
Old OP below
Richard Garriott and Starr Long (Lords British and Blackthorn if you will!) are going to be IN GAME in UO tonight!! Their visit is set to take place on Test Center at 7pm ET. Like as not it has been around 13 years since last thime this happened!
There is a very informative thread about this on Stratics as it is. Said thread just has a bit cryptic title. I don't know if it's just me but I think this sounds like a vastly exciting event and deserves an extra slice of visibility. Two threads about same topic on front page is completely useless I realize, sorry bout that! feel free to lock this..but if/when you do, PLEASE change the title of the old thread to something more informative.
"Test Center September etc" doesn't necessarily excite random forum lurker enough to make him read it. "Richard Garriott visiting our game!!" does.
Also,pst,
It is Garriott with 2 Ts
