Let's see what ideas we can toss around!
1) Dungeon rogue themed booster – put improved and or unique loot in dungeon chests, new puzzles scattered throughout the lands, add mystery quest lines and scavenger hunts throughout the lands, add a perk for detect hidden/remove trap/forensic evaluation, etc.
2) Botany themed booster – give us a slew of new plants, herbs, fruits, vegetables to grow and harvest, give some of them buffs (I want a four leaf clover that we can consume for luck :)), allow us to make potted plants, etc.

Hmm more to come as I get inspired. :)

1. Kingdom Reborn High Res Graphics booster. If the artwork still exists, why not release it as an optional purchase? Maybe it wouldn't be wildly successful, but probably wouldn't take a lot of effort to release either.

2. The "Everything We Said We Were Going To Do" booster. Ya know... finish the virtue system, factions, duel arenas, etc.

3. The Pinco UI booster. Time for this man to get paid! (I hope a good number of players who use his UI are donating on his site already).

Also, I will gladly pay to have a feline version of the Cu Sidhe! I will even supply pictures of my cat for the devs to model the graphics on :)

I'd like a "Serpent's Isle" booster, but only after they release the next expansion: "Ultima Online: The Black Gate" ;)

I'm actually serious, I can't wait till the storyline of UO get to the point of U7. The Fellowship etc is the best of the best of Ultima ever.

In fact i'd rather not have any more boosters at all until they fix all of the above. Problem is that too many players are happy to accept a sub standard product and poor customer service. Why should EA address any of the above when fools continue to pay for more crap whilst the basics of the game are in tatters.

1. Kingdom Reborn High Res Graphics booster.
I miss UOKR badly I only hope the graphics upgrades they are working on will be UOKR or better if there not then I have serious doubts about the future of this game. If something isn’t done in the next 12 months I will probably be looking at some other games to explore. I’m tired of these BS graphics when what we had with UOKR was much better.
I'm actually serious, I can't wait till the storyline of UO get to the point of U7. The Fellowship etc is the best of the best of Ultima ever.
The storyline going on the past few years are godawful. Don’t get me wrong there have been SOME good events…the one with the dread horses in particular.
In order for UO to be great it needs the original cast of characters and that includes the Avatar. What’s so hard to understand that the UO Lore is part of what makes Ultima…Ultima. Bad decision after bad decision in my opinion (sorry to be negative but calling it like I see it). If Dupre and Shamino are gathering forces to lead us into battle I will gladly join. You get some character I've never heard of that some Dev just created out of thin air and I quickly lose interest.
1. Return of the King (Lord British returns)
2. Quest of the Avatar
3. Rise of the Orcs
Bring back Lord British absolutely…Blackthorn too. Hell bring back Order/Chaos, a time when the PvP system was at it’s best.
Get the Avatar involved in the game for the love of god.
Orcs yes. Dwarves get my vote too! Halflings anyone?

Some Indiana jones type dungeon or some Detective Booster of some type might be worthwhile. There are ALL kinds of things that could be added to the game to improve it which is what makes UO so great. Look at some of the stuff freeshards have incorporated into their servers (Detectives, Boat Building, etc).

I’m sure the current DEV Team is operating like a skeleton crew so who knows what they’ll be able to do. It’s just weird how some of the free shards can add a lot of content and we get what we get….

Interestingly enough, Draconi is working on a new MMO with some of the Mythic founders, and they are using the same MMO engine that Star Wars: The Old Republic is using. I doubt EA could get him back :(

If I were a developer working on UO,it would be my own personal mission to revisit each older release,starting with AoS,and add more solid content to each land and skill. I would look to add spells to necro and chiv to bring them up to at least 24 spells each. I would give a good reason to work both skills up past 100. I would also add npc paladin mobs in the lands so those of us that side with the evil will have more goody-two-shoes to fight.

The problem is, as much as you may want to do that, the people who write your checks might not let you.

You could spend a month working on upgrading X or spend a month working on the next expansion/booster that will generate income... which do you think it would be?

Now, I agree that fleshing out some of the older stuff would bring more than a few people back, but at the sametime, the people above Cal are the types to rarely see it that way.

The Bring Sanity Back booster:
A. Heavy metal armor would again provide more protection to players than leather.
B. The resists would be reduced to just "Physical and "Elemental".
C. Insurance would change: The cost would be based on the value of the equipment, as determined by the number of points. When you die, all insured equipment would break and an amount of gold equal to the value of the equipment would be deposited in your bank vault.
D. Monster loot would change: A high-level monster would produce ONE item that could be made into a relic fragment. Same for a level 6 treasure chest. Lesser monsters and chests would often just contain gold or jewels.
E. The Really Clean Up Brittania campaign: Get rid of about 99% of the junk that's been cluttering up the game since 2003
F. Change the BOD system or get rid of it entirely
G. Remove Powder of Fortifying from the game
H. Since Power Scrolls reduced the number of skills from 7 to 6, while AOS added at least one skill to the number necessary for combat, and AOS totally, irreparably unbalanced PvP, the number of skill points needs to be rebalanced. Giving veteran players extra skill points was beyond ********, as well. It makes new players have an even larger disadvantage.
I. Add The Most Popular Mods to the Game: Everybody gets UOAssist or Razor, UO Cartographer, and other stuff that they need to play in game and free.
J. Somebody actually goes to a certain well-known bug website, starts at the listings from last week and goes all the way back until he fixes the 538 bugs from 2003 that are still listed as working.
K. List gold in the bank as an amount and let us make checks for any amount, the 1 million gold check limit is just a pain in the neck, it doesn't stop inflation as long as we can farm unlimited gold with no risk at several ML spawns, and it makes it almost impossible to safely trade high-end equipment and housing.

How about a booster having the Gargoyle Queen and the current leader of Britannia set up a way for the Crafters of Britannia to send assistance shipments to the gargoyle refugees for which the Crafters would receive items from the grateful gargoyle refugees in modest amounts?

Use it to give crafters a way to get the ML and SA crafting ingredients without paying the luna(tic) prices the ingredients cost now.

Most crafter players can't hunt the places where the ingredients are gotten. This means that those who are high powered hunters get the ingredients, stick a number followed by five to seven zeroes on it, and anything made with such ingredients is priced out of reach of most players by the cost of materials alone.

Use the assistance shipment idea to give a way to get those ingredients as return gifts from the refugees and have anything made with one of those ingredients have a flag with it's i.d number that prevents a price of more than 10,000 gold for the finished product.

The mega billionaires could buy & sell gear made the old way for mega millions an item for the status of it, and the typical player and the newbies could have stuff being sold at affordable prices so they can have the gear needed to hunt the high end monsters. There would be 'Real' status gear and the 'other' gear, both carrying the same mods.

A new player would be able to walk into some player vendor shops with the few thousand gold in thier pocket from a hard hunting session in New Haven or a similar area, and see good gear they could buy with that gold in thier pocket, or at least almost buy, not just see things they would need a thousand times thier few thousand gold to buy.

It would beat having mongbats drop million gold checks as loot just so the typical player and newbies can buy good gear after a couple hundred hours of play.

I'd like to see something with more incentives for people to go to Fel
This would only work until enough PKers came back to the game to drive the players out of fel and make sure the players would stay in tram.

Fel still has to live down it's reputation from the pre-Ren days and the years after Ren that the PKers hunted anyone they could beat and then did their 'I'm a mega macho studly stud dance in their armor as they babbled how they had just owned the dead miner in normal clothing with a shovel by his hand, and waved thier sword in the air as they babbled thier garbage about how manly, etc, etc, they were.

If the Devs can manage to draw in enough new players who would have no personnal experience of how fel used to be before it's population got so small, you might get your wish. We old timers have memories of fel and so we rarely go there. Fel's only real hope are new players.

Which would really be helped by a useful Play Guide. <looks over at his laptop>

New, fun content without paying $15 for it? This is UO, not EVE.
They won't even spend two bucks and 30 minutes of a dev's time to put up a current version of the client for download, so anybody new who wants to try the game has to spend half a day downloading updates before they can even play. Then the new players figure out that the only way to enhance high-end stuff that they can actually use to play is to buy a micro transaction item for $10. And they need to buy an advanced character token for $15. And they find out too late that Atlantic is the only shard with much of a population, so they have to pay another $15 to change shards. Then they need three or four soulstones at $15 each to change out skills, because after power scrolls cut the skills from 7 to 6, and AOS made skill gains take about 10 times as long and made them excruciatingly slow and repetitive to gain, people needed a way to switch out skills without having to make a new character, and it'll be a year before they can get them from veteran rewards.
It's like they're doing everything they can to wreck what's left of the game.
Seriously, EA has never given anything away. We have to pay both a subscription fee every month, a booster fee once a year, and micro transaction fees to get fun stuff that lets us make high-end equipment without breaking it 95% of the time, or to get neat house deco, or save our skills on a soulstone, etc.; when you add up all of the costs to play and be competitive, it's actually more expensive to play than nearly any modern game.
Honestly, I could see paying $15 for Abyss, but this last booster probably should have been about $6.99.

Here's the booster that they really should do:
$29.99
For your money, you would get:
A 60 day game time code
A new, REAL box, NOT just a download
A REAL CD with the up-to-date clients in it, both the CC and an EC that doesn't look like the end result of when your dog ate a box of crayons and got sick.
ALL of the expansions to date
A Map of Sosaria
UO Cartographer and Razor, which would be made into an approved app
A Charger of the Fallen
A Power Scroll of your choice
An advanced Character Token
A Soulstone Token
The idea is to get new players, not just bleed the older ones for a few extra bucks

Now for the least important thing, the new content:
I could see an Industrial Revolution theme, which would be a good time to make some changes, the most important of which would be to simplify armor resists to just "Physical" and "Elemental" so players don't need a calculator handy to play the game, and make insurance work differently, so that insurance costs and payments would scale according to the point value of the item, and if the player dies, the insured item breaks and the player gets its value in gold, as determined by its point value, with a 700 point item costing 2 million to insure and paying 10 million, but a 100 point item costing maybe 100 gold to insure and paying out 1k. Also, monster loot would shrink to a maximum of just one item per monster, and most would just give gold. That would eventually get rid of the glut of junk that the AOS crew so kindly inflicted on us, and that has been maintained by all the crews since.
Since players would constantly have to replace their stuff, crafting would see an immediate boost. Since there wouldn't be millions of new items entering the game every day, and a lot of items exiting the game, there wouldn't be such a problem with inflation.
Similar to ML, the new expansion would have several smaller new dungeons, instead of one massive one. Each should be different, and some should be more mage-friendly, others more warrior-friendly. AND some of them would be craftsman-friendly, with the monsters weak against lumberjacking or mining, and giving out crafting-related loot.
It should have some new craftables. NOTHING OVERPOWERED!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I need to add a few hundred more exclamation points to get it thru the thick skulls of even a UO dev?
1 on 1 Arenas, where carebear players can participate in PvP without going to Felucca
A Colisseum, where players can watch teams of 2, 3, 5 battle to the death, and even bet gold on the outcome
A real player-run market instead of those crappy things in Magincia.
The idea would be to get out of the post-AOS VERSUS mentality and start getting back to the original concept of building an online WORLD. EA got rid of Garriott and hired a guy who loved Diablo, so he tried to turn UO into Diablo. All of the dev teams after him have done the same. UO isn't Diablo. It's not PVP, PVE, PVM, Player Versus anything. It's supposed to be a COMMUNITY, a WORLD, with good people, bad people, and everything in between.
Garriott dreamed of a day when we could make almost anything in the world of UO ourselves, we would make our own towns, our own shops, our own tools, everything in the whole world would be player crafted. EA turned that dream into a game about killing monsters and each other.
There are a million VERSUS games out there, let's get back to UO's roots and build a place where the community is more important than missions, monsters, dungeons, eye candy, whatever.

I gave my idea... long ago.

Can't see having an underworld without drow... so a new Peerless/Champ Spawn was my idea.

Starts off with blackwidow spiders and Goblin slaves.


Next level is populated by Drow. Drow males with handbows(A new craftable bow has a paralyzing blow and poison dart uses darts like the blowgun). And moves up to Dread spiders.

All the drow levitate and are stealthing little stinkers.... much like ninja.

End moves up to Female drow with nasty whips that paralyze and poison... These females levitate as well and are mages... casting all sorts of nasty spells.

Finally you get a nasty Drider as the boss..... giant spider with Drow torso and head... Meaner than Navrey... The drider is a powerhouse of poison and blades.

You gather keys to enter the Drow house and fight the Drow Queen. She has 2 guardians that are Mindflayers... who will cause you to freeze in fear and discord you... Killing them first is a must.... The Queen of course implements all sorts of nasty moves... stealthing, levitation, she will web you, casts vicious spells... but the rewards are many.

A cloak of the spider Queen, gives a 5% resistance to poison and MR of 2 and has 10 invisibility charges that replenish at the rate of 1 per day. Can be altered into Gargish wing armor.

Boots of Levitation.... allowing the wearer to "fly" somewhat like gargoyles. Though they have a timer... you can't fly forever. But you can use them somewhat like a talisman double click them to "fly" for a brief time can be altered into Gargish Talons.

Also somewhere in this area is a room with a single bald headed drow male wearing a big feathered hat in it. He'll offer you rewards for bringing him "magical" items from the surface. He'll ask for specific things and in return he'll reward you... Or in some instances he'll try to kill you. As drow are never trustworthy... occasionally instead of a reward he'll laugh at you and call you a Srow for trusting a drow and leave you with a parting gift of some nasty monster to fight... (killing the monster of course will drop you a reward of some sort of course).... Doing enough quests for him he'll eventually give you a special map and mask and grant you friendship to the drow.

Then there will also be a new city found in both Trammel and Felluca... two cities of Drow. Found of course in some underground location. You can "earn" a mask to make you a "friend" of the Drow which you must have to enter the city... but here you can find Drow crafters to teach new craftables like the Handbow... some very nice deco items and of course new drowstyle clothes. Made of things like Spidersilk and leather... as well as spun silver. You can earn favor with the drow... Fighting them in the underworld will make you an enemy of the drow.

The drow of course hate fairy folk and those of good reputation so having good Karma among the drow might not be a good idea.

They will barter mostly for gems and silver, especially in Fel. Their city will not have guards in Fel.

Oh and the Expansion would also come with tamables ...... Dread Spiders will be Tamable with the new expansion...

New house deco will be available too... with spider motif's ..... and special lighted tiles... New stone crafted items with spider motif's.

And other new recipes for craftable weapons like: the Snake whip(this is a wrestling weapon)poison strike and paralyzing blow, and the flail (macing weapon) concussion blow and double strike, Assassins dread dagger (Sword weapon) quick weapon that can be poisoned and allows disarm. Javelin (throwing weapon)... slender spike for throwing has paralyzing blow and Armor ignore. Twin rapiers (Fencing weapon)... two lightning quick blades with specials like double strike and armor ignore.


But that's just my desire.

I don't want any more boosters.

Let's be honest, the booster we received was half done, half completed and bug ridden. The last expansion we had, two years later we're still "unlocking" sections of Ter Mur.

The "Theme packs" were a joke and incomplete.

We pay a monthly fee. Let's complete the content they have out there that wasn't complete and should have been for expansions, boosters and theme packs, then let's look at future expansions, not boosters.

A pure crafting booster
glass blowing( different bottle types,window panes,plates)

Colored sand or ways to color it..for glass blowing...
Shelving of wood or stone or even metal..to many to list.
Same as for stone can make bowls,benches/wall peices.etc....

plants you can grow as spices for food add buffs..
Someone mentioned quarts for glass blowing also would be ice..

I don't play UO regularly anymore. However, as DoC, I oversee all of our portals, including EVE, Toontown, Combat Arms, Stratics Central, Star Wars Galaxies, Star Wars: The Old Republic, LotRO, RIFT, etc., etc. Afraid I don't have time to play all of them. Accordingly, I must rely very heavily on our knowledgeable Managing Editors, including my hero Petra, who oversees UO operations.

i agree with one of the previous posters. Best booster was made already by Pinco. Pay him already, with respect. His UI should be a UO sponsored download on UO's web page. Throw him a bone!


other than that, I think there is already so much content here... Just tell me that by paying my dues, this game stays around. If you need me to keep paying an extra month or two every year just to keep it going, let me know. Meanwhile, support what we have and keep working on balancing issues, bug fixes, graphics updates. FINISH the EC, it is awesome, but can be sooo much better! Need 19.99 for that? I'll pay that for each of my accounts, gladly...

I'd go for actually buyin the $5.00 catch up booster.

Once we buy said so called *catch up booster*, then any acct. we purchased it for would UPGRADE us all across the board; catching the acct up on EVERYTHING we didn't bother to buy from EA before for whatever reasons be it dislike or unfinished upgrade, that made us not wish to buy it, till said upgrade was/is all done, be it HIGH SEAS if we dont have it, SA if we don't have it, and these new mini boosters [too]... One new booster pack, a $5.00 CATCH UP BOOSTER * and all our accts. are caught up to everything ever created over the yrs. that we may not have yet, while still waiting for them to be finished, before buyin em all ! :)

Heck I would then buy 4 of em, finished or not, if ONE booster, one fee, be it $5.00 even 10 bucks, upgraded an acct. with [ONE new code] to catch us up on everything we did not bother to buy earlier for whatever dissatisfied reasoning we had not to buy them. And whenever they DO finish said upgrades HS SA theme pack boosters then they can charge MORE per catchup code.
I am *still waiting for SA ROOFING Tiles myself !
Only one of my 4 accts. is SA'd.

In the crummy rl economy globewide/dissatisfaction many of us as customers may be feeling about undone upgrades :
I think a CATCHUP BOOSTER would actually..catch on and sell !
One code one fee, ya get nothing special or extra, except it would upgrade ALL or any UO accounts be they even lackin AOS or Elfy expansion to the new theme packs ya get EVERYTHING, upgraded ready to go to play it, all at once for everyone, with ONE new booster pack *CATCH UP code, to buy per acct. ! :)

First I want something clarified.. By "Booster" what is meant is something we would all have to pay extra for right? If that is correct than I have seen many ideas above that would get some money outta my pocket.

Now just curious.. lets take something hypothetical.. say Factions..

If enough people posted to the DEVs (who knows what enough would be).. all saying
they'd pay say... 4.99us to see the Faction system finished. Would they address that?

Remember they already have a budget.. a schedule.. blah blah blah

Every now and then Stygian Abyss goes for $10 upgrade on store.ea.com (or Origins.com or whatever). Not quite $5. I've seen High Seas on sale as well.

As for me, although they've already promised high resolution graphics, I'd pay for that if necessary, even though we've had them yanked once already.

That makes two of us! I really hope they "knock it out of the park" with the high resolution graphics.

One of the books you can steal is a story about a girl who gets taken and raised by orcs, now why would that happen unless they can inter-breed so why not at lest have half-orc player characters

Let's see what ideas we can toss around!
1) Dungeon rogue themed booster – put improved and or unique loot in dungeon chests, new puzzles scattered throughout the lands, add mystery quest lines and scavenger hunts throughout the lands, add a perk for detect hidden/remove trap/forensic evaluation, etc.
2) Botany themed booster – give us a slew of new plants, herbs, fruits, vegetables to grow and harvest, give some of them buffs (I want a four leaf clover that we can consume for luck :)), allow us to make potted plants, etc.

Hmm more to come as I get inspired. :)
expand on idea number two buy growing the plants that cooks then turn into buff food

Crafter Booster
New growable plants and trees (date palms, coconut palms, blade plants, morning glories, etc.)
Metalic cloth dye tub (colors cloth the same colors as the metal dye tube)
New craftable items (park benches, sandstone fireplaces, toilets)
Customizable paperdoll underwear
New craftable clothing (cowboy hat, suit & tie)
Tinker craftable campfire (to make "fire" like the rubble fire)
I like this set of ideas! The plants one would go well for cooking adding a way to get resources for it. Banana's and dates is just hte tip of the food they could have plants give. How about having a chicken coop where you tame and add to the hen house to get eggs.. the hens added like the zoo drop, they go in but dont come back out only the eggs and you have to feed the hens by adding corn/hay you grow. And you cant make smoke bombs with out eggs....

1. Kingdom Reborn High Res Graphics booster. If the artwork still exists, why not release it as an optional purchase? Maybe it wouldn't be wildly successful, but probably wouldn't take a lot of effort to release either.

cool idea iam for that too, but also i like the idea of the dungeon booster!
