I think it's awesome that they are fixing classic keeps to open up the unused space. See, they listen.

Yeah, the fact that are are doing SO much with this old housing code is amazing and much needed. I applaud the team for doing this..messing with housing at ALL is scary lol so the fact that this new conversion thing has gone without too many issues is just awesome.

LOL sorry...*knocks on wood* There..all better

 

[Chrille]

Last day to place keeps then with a tree inside the house and in the clearing east, west and north. The might get rare in the future! And they are proparly placed, at least until tomorrow.

 

[Pawain]

They are resetting the constellation names on Origin just for you.

Damn I'm gonna be busy starting tomorrow.

Lets do This!


@Cyrah you have a chance to find the first Constellation. I work late tomorrow.

 

[ShriNayne]

So does that mean they are making changes to the old Keep we have now, so that more of the space is usable?? If this is the case then oh happy day! I'm glad they did listen to us about how bad decorating Keeps is.... good job!

Not yet...they are just getting them ready for a future publish.

Currently what it looks like is they are creating an invisible foundation (Hence them making the indentations impassible)



so that it will be easier in the future to work with it...so you won't be able to do anything with current keeps YET....stay tuned for it in an upcoming publish!

 

[Cyrah]

@Pawain no the stars are for you!

 

[Pawain]

@Pawain no the stars are for you!

No Killing involved. You promised to do this kind of stuff! I see a Mystic Llamahearder in the sky.

We need crafters.

 

[cobb]

Not really excited since the new content won't be playable for another month. Don't much care for the housing changes.

 

[Ruby Knight]

Does that also mean that they will eventually allow keeps and castles with trees to be customized? I know they were talking about the possibility of that recently.

 

[Pawain]

Something is odd on LS.



Its a sign. @Cyrah . Your brethren are waiting for you.

"Scrolls from the Khal Ankur champ spawn will be shard bound."

This is the beginning of the end for x-sharding.

 

[Fridgster]

"Scrolls from the Khal Ankur champ spawn will be shard bound."

This is the beginning of the end for x-sharding.

Just for this event. Afterwards it's back to normal.

 

[CovenantX]

I see the mask/pendant are garbage still.

I for one, love it when they come out with content that has potential complete with obsolete rewards at the start!

 

[Pawain]

Yup every 120 scroll a pet cant eat will be dropped on the ground. Yay?

 

[Flagg]

I'm pretty sure it has been over 20 years since somebody first made that complaint.

 

[Maximus Neximus]

Just for this event. Afterwards it's back to normal.

Pretty sure it's just for that one spawn as well.

Yeah, they are now doing the stuff we asked for in the first place years ago, that they said wasn't possible.
Nobody would have needed these new designs of "castle" if they had just listened and put doorwyas instead of ledges, tweaked a wall or 2, ect. to the original designs.....
Could have saved themselves 20 months of work...….(yeah I know, it only took them a month really, they just blagged the other 19)

 

[ShriNayne]

As always it's better to spend more time in the planning stage!

Nah, it's always best to make up an cool answer on the spot, then let the peasants sweat it out afterwards

I just wonder how long it will be until they listen and let us customize keeps/castles now, rather than 4-5 people getting theirs that nobody wanted and that those people themselves didn't finish (no house is ever finished...). I get the server lag issue and that it's easiest on the lag with pre-fabricated houses... but how much lag is there really around Yew's moongate? I for one would enjoy a lag spike... maybe it would mean that there is a rockin house nearby.

What I am saying is.. that 18x18s are just a "little" too cramped. I mean... if I had just 1 extra tile or 2, my customized house would be all I ever wanted in UO. *Cries a River.* While I'm on my begging horse.... please give us stone dye tubs for the houses... the agapite/dull copper walls and all of the pigments we can dye them with and whatnot just do not cut it. None of those colors match the castle wall colors (my 18x18 is castle colored...) So the top looks like... not matching. Anyway, peace all and thanks for trying. Just.... dooooo... it. We can handle the lag, we grew up with UO in 97' for crying out loud. It took 20 minutes for me to walk by Britain bank back then. Those were the good days.

Housing brings back subs... but no returning players will ever have a castle/keep in a million years with the way things are now. The fact that we have 6 extra designs that people with 50 accounts/friends designed doesn't really matter to returning subs. And when they do return, they will look at them and say..... "Really???". Not good. Let us customize!! Wait until you see MY castle. Someday, even if it's on a free shard that has the imaginary server capacity (somehow they do?).

While I'm at it... bring back the phoenix in the cave even if it is un-tame-able. Pwweeease reinstate the phoenix to it's rightful place in UO lore and history. (Points to his signature at the bottom.) If I was a returning player... I would go to Shame, the Orc Fort, and then to see the phoenix. It's kind of critical... anyway, peace guys. That's my plea for changes for this month.

Really though, this could be a pilot to see how it goes. Time will tell.

Uggg and I thought they were ready to go, freaking packed up and removed my custom roof last night, now all my chars banks are packed for a future publish?

 

[uokings7]

Is there any way to dye the masonry stone walls and stairs?

 

[Mene (DF)]

Crafting with dull and higher granite and than color with natural or pigments

Awesome! Thank you for that info. I've been using copper this whole time and have always hated the color.

 

[Zeke]

You have to dye each paver/wall individually so prepare to use a lot of dyes.

And no matter what... you can't match the "castle" color (ie, greyish). ; ***(
