What do you want for Xmas?

[kaio]

I would like to have greater gift boxes..size 4x4 or something like that. Everyone loves a huge present.

 

[Dorinda]

You

for dorinda to play ultima online with me

I am still mad at you for abandoning our Zerg of 3 and leaving me to pvp with LYnk. Some betrayals are mortal wounds.

 

[Cyrah]

Pretty containers... Like neons or angels or some new pretty gift box art with a chance for a rare one... ( we do have a very good art man now (again)... hint hint)
If I saw a pretty cake inside that would be cake and icing for me!

 

[The Scandinavian]

I would like smith hammer and warfork event items.


Regards
The Scandinavian

 

[Akalabeth]

I also would like to see really nice containers. The neon boxes are some of my favorite things in game. I would love to have the chance to get some of them.

 

[Victim of Siege]

I want a fully poseable, 12 inch, talking Blackthorn action figure with the Kung-Fu grip

 

[BeaIank]

I'd be happy if the new Origin Store was replaced with the old one.
At least that old one would actually let me buy items.

 

[Zosimus]

Well Xmas is about giving so..... I will speak for Amber Witch without her permission....

She wants all your stuff so start giving

Just joking


Wonder if the UO Santa can make a Furby version of Mongbats.

[Endrik]

I would like a "Legacy" token that allows us to choose items from previous years. I really want to be able to get some more of those Snow Piles... the big stalagmite ones.

 

[Doubleplay]

My wish is for a toggle switch to turn off the snow that for sure is coming again this year.

 

[Assia Penryn]

I'd love to see UO begin its own winter holiday based on fiction

 

[Troop]

A horse of a different color. It's color would constantly change as you rode.

 

[Felonious Monk]

A smaller craft able soulforge. I wouldn't even mind if it was only 1 tile.

 

[Fraise]

What I would like to see for the Festive Holiday Season gifts: a check book, we have books for Bods, books for pinks, would a check book be that big of a stretch?

 

[pumpkin_escobar]

Bring back bane dragons and dreads please

 

[Doubleplay]

I would like cash books. They would work like the transcendence books. You could drop million stone checks into the book, perhaps to a total of 100 million and be able to drop checks from the book as needed. This would free up an awful lot of storage space in the bank box and at home. You should be able to transfer the ownership of the books to enable multimillion purchases without a lot of hassle.

Yes a good old fashion bearded Ho! Ho! Ho! alien UFO invasion. Mars attacks alien like with the lightbulb helmets that make a popping sound when they die.

Ya'all need to watch less SpaceBalls and more Big Bang.

"HAPPY SATURNALIA EVERYONE!" (Didn't want the newly risen religions to feel left out on those cool pagen holidays)

I prefer Alvistide. Heh.

Or they could just make your bank handle money the way your vendors do: any character from that account can use the same pool of money and it's kept as a numerical balance rather than a bunch of items.

This is good, but the book mode would allow transactions for large amounts in the trade window without having to convert Million stone checks.

 

[Doubleplay]

I would also like some snake proof boots. Also an insecticide potion that would kill trapdoor spiders and/or slow down all spiders and scorpions. I would like a mirror shield that would freeze Mobs for a few seconds. I would like a small cart to pull around that holds items comparable to a Llama or horse pack. Such cart could be configured to carry items for sale as if it was a portable vendor.

 

[Dol'Gorath]

I still want a red robed GM punching doll. They finally gave us dev heads on pikes, now bring on the punching doll GM's!

 

[a slave girl]

Everything Except the game time codes at the Origin UO store to be half price the entire 12 days before Christmas.

 

[THP]

well this is what u r getting...........

Holiday Gifts will begin December 1 at 12:01 AM and will continue until January 1, 2014 12:01 AM.

· A holiday candle tray available in a variety of colors

• A lobster dinner

· A Scroll of Alacrity book (holds 300 scrolls and must be locked down in a home to add scrolls to the book)

• A Deed to a claw foot tub

 

[Riyana]

This is good, but the book mode would allow transactions for large amounts in the trade window without having to convert Million stone checks.

Why not just have that be a numerical transaction as well? Instead of dropping an item on someone to open trade, just have an 'initiate trade' option somehow, either on other players or as an action that you then target another player for. (This would also reduce the possibility of accidentally dropping a valuable item while trying to trade it.) Your bank balance would be there on your side of the trade window, and you could just set the right amount.

There is really no need to use items as currency. A bank full of million gold checks is really kinda silly. When you go to the bank in real life, your balance is not sitting in piles of cash and coin in a vault somewhere. It's all numbers in a computer. Kind of the way a video game is all numbers in a computer...

Please tell me more about the computer systems in medieval banks.

It's on a piece of paper instead. Most money doesn't actually exist. Welcome to the wonderful world of fractional reserve banking.

 

[Goldberg-Chessy]

Hope its not off topic but I just wanted to give a shout out to all the devs for doing such a great job lately curbing all the cheating and speed hacking.
I play in fel a lot and it has been a long time since I have seen anyone speeding around.
Please keep up the good work devs. Ty

Computer is not a new word

Before electronic computers a computer was a person performing mathematical calculations it was a jobb just like typist

Assuming you are right it still has no bearing on Aran's correct argument.

You cannot in any way argue that gold piles should be removed from the game for no other reason then rl banks use computers to calculate finances. It is an assinine argument

That is not quite what I was saying. I was actually saying that because UO is a computer game, a system in which money is recorded and traded as numbers rather than huge piles of items is doable and reasonable. It is possible to do so, as we do it in real life and other games do it. We already have part of it with the way vendors operate.

Piles of gold worked when UO was new, and they made perfect sense in the world's context. Then gold piles became unwieldy because of the amount of gold in game, and we got checks. We are well beyond the point where checks are unwieldy.

The awkward banking system is a big part of why there are so many empty vendors littering the world, which is something I see people complain about a lot--vendors are better banks than the actual banks right now, and that is silly. All I'm saying is that a better system is both possible and has precedent. The gold and checks can stay and still serve their purpose too, but I think it would be very helpful to add more functionality to an overtaxed system.

Even sometime as simple as making checks larger would help, but eventually we'd be right back where we are.

Enough to suffocate them, please.

Or at least quench the stench.
