[UO Herald] FoF: Virtue and Weddings

[drinkbeerallday]

Will polygamy weddings be allowed?

"The Virtues will be Very Important"

Honestly, the virtue system in UO is horrible. It's just another grinding mechanic, and nothing else.

Now, if a character with virtues WERE actually virtuous, they would have some meaning. How to do that? Easy, virtues should raise slowly when you act virtously, and drop very fast when you act unvirtously. You use stealth? There is no valor in that. You steal (monster or player, doesn't matter)? Not very honest. You kill stuff? That doesn't look compassionate (except maybe undeads).

That's the only way to have a decent virtue system, I am sick of grinding...

*shakes head* We have been over this for years. FoF is not for Stratics junkies. Stratics gets more than it's fair share of info.

FoF is for the gamers at large. Even the ones that do not read this forum.

Get yourselves into a frenzy if you wish. As you do every Friday. Your call.

Mythic answers questions that are presented to them. All of these were important to some one. FoF is not a Stratics deal. Get over your selves.

*BIG HUGS for kelmo*

As for the weddings, my hubby and I have played for over 8 years, married for a LOT longer irl. We both think it would be fun to get our 2 mains married in UO. Everyone knows it for the most part and we have a lot of our characters that correspond with the others. But it would be fun. Ok I'm just nuts for events and love an excuse to hold one!!

Anyone having a birthday soon?

I mean who asked about weedings? Is there like a secret forum where you go and post the questions to get answers?

Maybe there is a secret forum that talks of weddings?

I donno.... Wasn't expecting the wedding thing.

Not very secret:

I also posted it on another forum and got over 2 pages of positive replies. Plus:

It’s been delayed and isn’t currently on a schedule – I’d recommend getting married now and taking care of the technicalities later

Like all non-community members of the dev team, Regine is only allowed to communicate in an official capacity about things related to her work, or fluffy fun stuff.

She isn't dodging the question because its not something she could answer one way or another. Design has nothing to do with the release of items for sale, and leveraging her pride or concern for the community won't circumvent the official communication process for the tokens (which *are* coming, and no, I don't have further details either, good try!).

The info we have about the 11th Collection Tokens has already been shared. There's no dastardly secret or anything: I look forward to redeeming my own when they're available.

Draconi,

Just so you know, most of us complaining about the lack of communication about the 11th Anniversary (or Collection) or whatver Tokens, we are not complaining about the DEVELOPMENT Team or the NETWORK team or the people who manage Back-Ups or various other Jobs necessary throughout running an online MMO.

We recognize that since the items actually exist today and are functioning on Japanese servers, the development of the items is actually completed.

Now if the Marketing Team, or the PR department, or the overall "UO Management" team or whoever can't decide how to make these available on the UO Codes website, or how much to charge for them, or whatever little coordination needs to happen in order for them to be made available... you'd actually have satisfied customers on your hands.

One would think after UO Running for 11 years (granted Not run by Mythic or EA), someone somewhere would know how to 1... communicate effectively with your clients/customers to under promise and over deliver (hopefully generating excitement along the way) and 2... add new codes to the UOCodes website (in case that's where the problem is, I'm sure there are thousands of out of work web developers who could build you a much better storefront that's much more flexible than what you have now).

As for the Development and Live team... The frustration with lack of communication and lack of availability of these tokens does not lie with you, we know that. We also know that PR and Marketing pukes are hiding under their desks so why don't you tell them what we think of them.

K i wasnt around when weddings were here before....

so whats the bennifits cept being married?

& from what i understand from a few, once married, ur married for life... ther is no divorce in uo... so you'd pick wisely is what i was told

Hmm...Not even married tax benefits.

Ultimately, it's less irksome, less time consuming and far less expensive to simply find someone you really hate and just transfer your UO house and contents to them.

Could someone confirm me about one question of FoF?

"Any plans to change the intensities of ML weapons learned from Heartwood?"

It says "ML weapons learned from Heartwood". I think this means "weapons made by recipis given from quests", so I translated this question as such on my site.

Is this interpretation right? Or does this mean rather concrete weapons themselves given from quests in general than those by recipis?

Thanks!
