Please Note: This is my last ditch effort to get some kind of response, after this Im going to just give up
For those who dont know, back in April it was discovered that the Developers had forgotten to turn of coding that deleted left over Rubble in New Magincia. This was quite the problem since this was discovered AFTER they had given out the houses to the winners of the Magincia Lottery. Now, I have played UO for 8+ years. When I discovered my Rubble was gone, I realized it would not be replaced, nor did I expect it to be replaced. It was a big big loss (Estimated worth of 1billion+) but I knew that EA usually does not replace lost items. I was ready to move on from this mess, I was one of the first to report the issue (to make sure I didnt lose more than I already did, and to also prevent others from being hit).
On April 11th 2011, EA issued this on UO.com Rubble in Magincia and Today's Maintenance | Mythic Entertainment | Ultima Online. "If you have lost Rubble, please send a list of lost items to [email protected] along with your account name (no passwords), shard and your lot number. These items will attempt verified from a back up of your shard and your items will be replaced. Please make sure to lock down a container on your steps if you do not have a mailbox so we can drop these items into it. "
I was very pleased and surprised by this turn of events. Since my house was a rares museum, all of the items were locked down in the house, and to my thinking would be easy to verify on the backup of the shard. I quickly emailed my list to Mesanna, I emailed an updated list a day later to include a couple more items I was missing, then I emailed another update with pictures to better identify some of the rubble. Since they were taking their time to replace these items, I wanted to be as thorough as possible to what it was, what it looked like, and where it would have been located in the house on the backup server.
Three weeks later I moved to Atlantic full time, leaving Chesapeake behind me. I put off moving my museum for almost a month, still hoping id receive my rubble back. (Reason for holding it off - I wanted my rares ONLY in a house my main account owned. Hence if I moved, itd be my main accounts house, and result in me having to sell the mag plot.)
About A months ago I finally moved the rares to my new Mag house on Atlantic. I opened an old account to hold the Chesapeake Mag house still in hopes id get my replacements. I emailed an update to Mesanna, trying to let her know the account was now on a different account, and provided any information she might need. (Now its important for me to point out, I had not, nor still have I received ANY responses about the Rubble). Still not having heard back, last week I sold the house to a friend and roleplayer on Chesapeake who wanted to add to the roleplay township that is Chesapeake New Magincia.
Long post, yes Im sorry. Let me get to the point - I dont want my replacement rubble. All I wish for now is just ANY response about the issue. I havent received 1 email about this whole thing. Was it not able to be verified on the backup shard? Is it still an ongoing investigation? Was it decided it cant be done?
I just want to not have any doubt in my past decisions. I don't care about the items anymore ( I have given up) , but I do want the peace of mind. Other emails about other issues have been answered, but the ones about the rubble just seem to be....well ignored.
Thanks to anyone who read, or just skipped it all to the last paragraph
