So, we got folks griping (surprise, surprise) that the discount on long term game time is not all that great. Just thought I'd step in and point out that the majority of items offered are discount by 25 to 35 percent with some notable 50 percent and one close to 60 percent discounts. The sixmonth gametime code at 54.99 also represents a 40 percent discount off month to month sub fees. So, there!

The issue I have is that even with the sale things are priced at crazy prices. Name change $20? Please - that is like 5 lines of code to implement that and they want $20/pop? Try $5.

Char xfer shouldn't be more than $10. In fact NO game store item should be more than $10.

I would NEVER spend $20 on name change or gender change. Thats just crazy.

The sales prices sure seem like a sign of desperation from the dev team to squeeze more money out of a dying game.

They have no real strategy to get new players in game. For all the 'New haven' with new quests and crap. Its still way too steep a road for new players and your characters start with absolutely nothing. I mean, give players an all 50's resist suit or something.

There isn't a smith/tailor left in the game that sells GM armor suits anymore. Not worth the time even if there were players to buy them.

If this game is going to grow you need:

1 - Strategy for attracting new players
2 - Easier way to shorten the learning curve
3 - New content for existing players to engage them - dungeons to expore, etc.
4 - Something for the PvP crowd. Faction 'revamp' has not been sustaining. What about kill charts, ladders, titles etc?


It is really really scary how deserted this game has become.

Hey Viquire and all. Wrote you back.
I checked several days and including up through the day of the promotion to make certain all systems were go, so we got the greenlight for this.

Seems like it should have been orange or *@&#@! yellow.

If you are having errors as always let me know. Also, the email on the UOGamecodes site should give you an email to write them directly.

Otherwise my PMs are always open. I will check with the GMs downstairs,

Cal,

Is there some reason when they direct you to GMs that they do not create a ticket/tracker with the issue that you can present to a GM?

We do that at my work, there is a ticket, and its handed off until it gets to the right person. There is a # that someone can call in and ask the status. It is all handled very professionally and nobody ever gets left in the dust.

I'm usually the one telling people calm down regarding UO, but one thing is for certain, UO has terrible customer service issues.

Is there a possibility that you could add the lower prices to the "PayByCash" Site too? There are lots of people out there who don't have a CC... would be very cool, thanks!

Now that would be a true blessing, especially like the Advanced Character token 19.99 on uogamecodes and 33.19 on paybycash, and 14.99 for a transfer-token whereas 22.79 on paybycash.

It's a bit of a long winded workaround, but when I wanted to use a plain debit card on gamecodes, I just emailed them saying what I wanted and asked if they'd debit the card I had on the account. Worked just fine

So you might be able to get the sale prices by doing that instead.

I do not want trees.
But would like to take half the items on siege and the others on europa. There is no need for an armor engraving tool on SP. Meaning i dont want to change what i get, just where i get it.

Probably a bit late, but your plan won't work. buying the collection gives you 1 token for "11th year collection".

When that token is used, it splits into 3 tokens, one for the decor stuff, one for add-ons, and one for the rest. So you can't claim half the items on 1 shard and the remainder on another.


When you use the the decor token (or was it the add-on one, memory fuzzy here), you get 4 more tokens, 1 for each of the following:
* Snow Tree
* Maple Tree
* Willow Tree
* Fallen Log


The add-on token splits into 4 more tokens, 1 for each of the following:
* Lamp Post
* Hitching Post
* Ancestral Gravestone
* Wooden Bookcase


The last token (i think it's called misc) splits into 3 tokens, 1 for each of the following:
* Armor Engraving Tool
* Earring of Protection
* Bulk Order Cover


You'd have to buy them separately. Or buy the collection to claim on Europa, then buy extras of the individual ones to claim on Siege.
