Greetings Everyone,

Starting tomorrow morning we will be patching a new client and publishing all shards so we can deliver a Valentine's Gift to everyone. Cupid will not deliver your gifts till after you regular maintenance cycles. This year we are going to do something a little different. A Red Cupid will appear somewhere in the City of Compassion, once you find it you may claim your gift. The location will be different on all shards so happy hunting.

Happy Valentines Day,
UO Team

Hopefully they're fixing the bard song mastery issue.

 

[BeaIank]

Oh, nice.
No gifts spawning in your backpack this time. Good, good.
I won't have to hold 28 of them till next year to trash it for points.

 

[Smoot]

very thankful there is content we can simply ignore rather than having to take the time to trash.

HOOORAY!

 

[Larisa]

Not to ruin the negative streak going on in here :/ but YAY! Thank you! I always thought it was rather boring to just have gifts pop into your pack...the idea of hunting for them is really cool!

Happy Valentines Day team!

 

[Yadd of Legends]

Lol, this promise of a Valentine gift is generating a less than enthusiastic response

 

[Sinder Shayde]

Love is in the air and the search for Cupid will be fun.

 

[BeaIank]

I am pretty happy about it, actually.
It gives me the chance to completely ignore it and keep on pretending that Valentine's day isn't a thing.

 

[cazador]

Cool :/

I'm happy can't wait to start hunting. .. how long will it be possible to get the gifts?

 

[Troop_Gil]

I hope it's something nice.

 

[Poo]

my mind must not be working..... City of Compassion?

isnt that Britain?

compassion

 

[Capt. Lucky]

I really don't enjoy hunting for crap lol. At least this time they actually told us. Usually there's a gift out there and they don't say anything and you find out about it after the event is over. Dragon Eggs or something is coming to mind.

compassion

Well they didn't say shrine. Better not hose me on this. Got stuff to do tomorrow

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Wonder what the odds are that Legends will reset tomorrow?

I wasn't being negative, I was actually being hopeful of a fix in the upcoming patch.

 

[Tjalle]

Looking forward to this.

Could be funny on Siege, depending on location...

We all know that the location will be spoiled within .2 seconds of a shard rebooting Unless the little winged vermin moves around, there will be little hunting involved.

 

[MalagAste]

True but one could always choose not to spoil it and search for one's self.

 

[Dixie chessy/legends]

i hope its little love birds =) thanks Devs what ever it is!

[flappy6]

[Riyana]

[Capt. Lucky]

I predict it's something we never would have thought of and we will be saying... what??? lol

 

[Larisa]

BACON! Oh wait....

 

[Capt. Lucky]

Don't think you can top a throbbing heart box. Cupid head on a spike?

 

[Sinder Shayde]

[Poo]

I wonder which archer template PK Cupid will have. You KNOW he'll be speedhacking!

Happy Valentines Day!

 

[DJAd]

They should of put it as loot on slasher.

 

[DJAd]

HOOORAY!

Yeah agreed. They should add the new items to the turn in points the day the release them. Most of the time you get the gifts then have to wait for the next publish to get the turn in points.

 

[Smoot]

So this didnt happen? i got the patch, but doesnt look like the cupids made it in.

 

[Tamais]

I found him on lake austin.

 

[THP]

looks forward to some more trash.....plzzzzz...make it a collection....make it worth the while doing....make it breathe life into out game

 

[G.v.P]

gah i searched for a Red NPC in Tram and Fel lol

 

[HoneythornGump]

Champagne & Cheese...that's it?

I thought April Fools day was April 1 not February 14th.

 

[James Moriarty]

So now i have to go and hunt my gifts? I thought gifts were meant to be given not hunted for. I hate the idea of having to hunt for a gift.

The 'hunt' is only to find which building in Britain the gift giver statue is in on your shard - and https://stratics.com/community/threads/wheres-cupid.332968/ makes even that a fairly simple job.

Thats all good and fine. But the last 12+ months i can only draw the strength to log in to collect gifts that drop in my pack then log straight back out. Now i have to get to point x collect the gift and return back home. Rinse repeat over 2 accounts and 14 shards and its a lot of running around for something that normally just drops in my back pack

 

[MalagAste]

Easiest way is to use the EC and use the control + shift and be sure to put "cupid" in your search.... that way you can case the town in a matter of seconds.

ANY SINGLE LADIES WANNA BE MY VALENTINE!?!?

Um.... no.

 

[Viquire]

Didn't we do it like this with the dead hamster? I like it.

 

[Dot_Warner]

Ikea might be contacting Broadsword about stealing one of their champagne flute designs

Boys have cooties.
