"3. Is it possible to get a repair-bench type item that would allow storage and use of multiple repair deeds?
Yes, this would work well for our previous crafting-themed power tools and look at expanding that list based on this suggestion."
^^^^
That would be really helpful. My only comment would be I hope it is not a high-end veteran item, but rather something be more readily available for everyone, i.e., UO store item, craftable, turn-in point item, maybe even some type of drop somewhere, or adding to an existing system like Blackthorn's.
Equally, a "repair deeds book", similar to the SoT and SoA books, would also be an easy option here for repair deeds.

It will probably be fixing the bugs that endless journey creates.
Please list all the bug you know of HERE, so we can tell you which ones we want fixed first. TY ( i know, bad idea, smile, its all good)
Naw, They might finally be fixing bugs from AOS. It will be at least 10yrs before they fix bugs endless journey creates.
I don't remember anybody asking for "account wide" sharing, they asked for the points to be shared accross all chars on the same shard.
Equally with the repair bench.....it was asked long ago for the repair book and they agreed it was a good idea.....but we all know they only remember stuff from one meet to the next....
If only somebody would invent a means to record information........

I think it's not a bad idea so long as those checks are account/shard bound, just sharing between characters on the same shard is what most of us wanted. I have put points onto the wrong person a few times and it's just annoying.

"As of right now the Advisor program has been suspended." Not one conspiracy theory about this? I'm disappointed....
Hell I only saw an advisor once LOL. And that was right after it started... I thought they were gone a long time ago.

The Atlantic advisors were actually pretty good, and I saw them around often just hanging out in Luna bank answering questions. There were lots of them who barely logged in at all for the other shards though. One of them was in my guild, and he just didn't care enough to leave Atlantic to go to his assigned advisor shard more than an hour or so per week.
That's the flaw with not allowing people to be staff members on their home shard. They aren't going to leave their home shard where they can talk to people and do things, to instead go wander around aimlessly on dead shards where they might get one question per day to answer on their advisor account.
If they worked on their home shard, at least they would be around to see when people need help, and then could log in their advisor account to help the person.

Bad Norry, Bad!! quit making sense.
Another thing about if you worked on your home shard you would know histories... and who is trustworthy and who's probably full of BS... But then there could be bad blood on your home shard as well...
There are good and bad reasons for not allowing advisers to work on their home shard. Many of the reasons are so you won't help your friends cheat... how I really don't know... since I'm not sure what an adviser can or cannot do.

There's no good reason for it.
Advisors can move players & NPCs... (very easy to abuse, for Direct-to-pack drops)
Advisors can do whatever they have the power to do, while remaining invisible to other players. (easy to get away with an abuse of power, if it's difficult to tell exactly who is doing things).
I know some (all?) advisors are able to use their "special accounts" on multiple shards as well, which clearly expands their ability to abuse power in low-traffic areas.
Also, I can tell you Advisor accounts are also eligible for Veteran Rewards....
Well here is the sad fact... if those "advisors" really gave a damn about UO and honestly cared about the job they were hired to do instead of wanting a way to cheat and scam...
Sadly though the environment that the DEVs have bred in the last 6 or 8 years has been one of PURE GREED... so most of the players left are ones that follow the current environment... so they are hiring out of a pool of players who have fed on the greed... What do they expect?
I know a few folk who would do a great job as advisors and not cheat... because they have a passion for the game that is stronger than greed... but none of them are advisors.
Yup, theres a few that sit at Brit bank on Europa EVERY night from 6pm till 7pm to help new or returning players.
They do this without being asked and without reward.....or even thanks sometimes.
I wont name names as i'm sure they wouldn't want to be singled out but they know who they are and they are held in very high reguard amongst the players of Europa.
