What about doing what the players in the early days did in reaction to the game breaking lag...Protest at Lord Brit's Castle in Trammel Atlantic!
I remember the protest. I took part in it. Fun times, really.

Not really. When you have names skimming boundaries you have to fully expect and accept what you get. If your account is 20 years that would put you in your 30s which is more than ample time to have known that was an unacceptable slur.
Just because I'm not part of the Official Stratics bit*h n moan squad doesn't mean I agree with every move that's made.they never do
If you read true this thread I was not the only one that did not know that was an unacceptable name
Could it be this thread they're talking about? Why it looks I am bipolar in temperament and posts. If they banned you guys for that one, that feels a little extreme.
Duh, maybe it had something to do with the GoFundMe link one of y'all posted. Just my guess.
Well, I got the email lol.
LOL I saw. You gave a horrible idea or said something snarky? I bet snarky.
Okay Let me give you a timeline:
Seems like 2 posters liked the idea. They should have come up with a reason better than spam.
Why it looks I am bipolar in temperament and posts
Again Personal info. I agree with all the closed threads over there. Lucky I am not a mod. Would only be rainbows and sunshine when talking about my game.
I'd agree with you if UO was one of their AAA titles that was bringing in a lot of money. They would definitely notice an income drop and would try to address it (how is another question altogether).
If I had to guess, the answer is "no." They have their release schedule, and fixing the beacons is not on it. If beacons were a permanent feature, they'd add this bug to the back end of the schedule to be fixed somewhere in 2021. But since the beacons are most likely going away in a few months, it's much easier to pretend they are unaware of the problem.
That was in response to SEVERAL posts that said it seemed like "Luc of Legends" was Bipolar.
To clarify, it's actually more than just pixel crack to most of us. For twenty years these characters we play have become a part of our life. The homes we have a home away from home. The friends ingame have become family. In other words, we care deeply about what we have in UO.
Posting on a forum is not the IT industry. Telling us you have a sister, spouse, job whatever is personal information. Telling us about your red truck is personal information. Telling you I'm about to have a drink is personal information. That forum is for game information apparently.
You got something against Red TrucksPosting on a forum is not the IT industry. Telling us you have a sister, spouse, job whatever is personal information.

I think there is a post there where you did post your first name. Sorry, I read everything except the shard forums. Sometimes I comprehend.
Chill

Yeah they don't like you pointing out the tmap nerf, when I compared how many assassin supply maps you had to do to get about 6 skeleton keys and bugger all else accept gold and gems (which on my test took me 18 maps), compared to how many ingenious maps you used to do to get MORE of them plus orbs, essences mini artis, pardons, regs, recipes etc etc (10 maps) they pulled that and sent me a note saying it was SPAM and not answering the query of the OP about how do you get skeleton keys lol.
Of course not that would hurt someones delicate feelings... because they are always right and you are full of crap and all you want is to get something for nothing and you should have to spend 10,000 hours to get anything at all useful... forget actually playing the game to have fun... you need to grind, grind, grind away hours on end for nothing and no reward... and you should be happy for the pittance you get doing it... and kiss their behinds for all that hard work they do ..... you know spell checking, bug fixing, and making the game look good and work properly... *cough cough*... because they are doing such a wonderful job at it... and everything they put in works just great... so go ahead put on your pom poms and bend over.... take it... and enjoy it.
<sarcasm>
Huh?
While it did cause us to go into battle, it was not the only factor. We had cracked the Imperial code system and knew weeks ahead of that day that **something** was in the works. No one bothered to notify the armed forces. I believe the Japanese referred to their code system as "purple"
This is why it cracks me up when some naive individuals call to "stop arguing until the feature is released... you can critique it once it's on TC." Problem is - they allocate very tiny amount of time to fixing bugs. Usually this time and more is spent on what they consider game breaking. With few far and between exceptions there is no time allocated to changing features once they hit TC. Once they are there, it's too late. If there are enough complaints they might add a change to their queue which appears to be about 2 years long.
Way back in ancient times of UO, TC got a workout because the Devs (Den Dragon and the group) played, cared and listened. Through the years all of this has been slowly eroded to what is around now.
It's true I was this way until about 4 or 5 years ago... I refused to even try anything else... and then Landmark happened. I tried it... enjoyed it for the most part till they ruined it... and then they killed it completely sadly and I was left with this thirst for something else... played around in space with No Man's Sky from it's beta and all haven't really played that at all since I started playing Black Desert Online... since starting that I almost moved it above UO in my priorities... Right now small things and annoyances with UO could actually tip the balance... if I had a strong Discord community feel in BDO like I have with friends in UO I think that would tip the scales and I'd put BDO in a higher priority... but my BDO group doesn't really do Discord at all so that still keeps me here. Though they are miles ahead of UO in nearly every other aspect... they have far better graphics, their team are open, talkative, they have a new publish every Wed morning with new features, old features turned back on, constant new events, new character builds all the time... tons of quests and things to do... collect and such... it has many Sim's qualities as well regarding housing and such... its economy is stronger considering you can't at all trade with other players save giving someone a bite to eat or a potion... you can't give them gold, weapons, armor or anything so everything you have you earned on your own. Their marketplace does all the money laundering... It can get a bit repetitive but all in all its really a lot of fun... just with the nature of how its set up and all the "community" isn't really there unless you are really into the whole node war business... which that's all PvP and I have zero interest in that.There are too many people that never left UO, they never played anything else, they won't ever leave until it's turned off, the Dev team know this, so they know that some people will just adapt no matter what they throw at them, they have no choice because there is nothing else out there for them. We have a lot of older people 50-70 and they can't or won't try anything else, heck I'm almost in that age group myself now, the rest of us just find something else to play. In some ways the players of UO are their own worst enemies.
I really don't think this is because they don't care. They can't do more with the staff they have. It might be possible if they cut the number of publishes in half. But for all we know, they might be contractually obligated to EA to release however many they do per year now.
Does not matter ... if Mesanna or whomever had the stones, they'd fight for the game they allegedly love. Really ... have you seen or heard of any of that happening? At all?
First they would have to find someone knowledgeable in seriously outdated code... secondly they would have to find someone willing to move to Virginia... NOT the West Coast... and finally they would have to find someone willing to take the risk to work on a 20+-year-old game that has who knows how long left... a year... 10? And in todays economy that might not be really great... especially when games are struggling against mobiles...
Valid points. I'd be willing to telecommute ... hell, I teethed on FORTRAN 4, COBOL, RPG and a boatload of other "legacy" languages. I'd be willing to give things a try ... just to prove myself to them. Even if it's a "decipher this and document it" job. I'm not hurtin' for cash in retirement ... just something to fill some empty hours here and there.
Mesanna said long time ago there would be no more of that you have to physically be in office...
Probably comes down to two things:
