Its Monday again and we have another set of questions that were answered by the development team. There were even a couple questions answered by one of our GMs. (October 15, 2012).
- Can we get an option added to Crystal Portals to hop over to the Heartwood Gate in Yew? It would making visiting Heartwood that much more convenient! (sablestorm)
- Mesanna: Sorry this is not possible to do the fact that Heartwood is on a Dungeon Server
- UOForums - There's several different types of chats so I'm wondering if there is a personal message system in the works? Though I kinda enjoy the classic UO "drop me a little book in my mailbox" thing, I think we've evolved past that now. Thanks! (Quintus Batiatus)
- Mesanna: The team has talked about different ways to improve on the existing mailing system but nothing concrete as of yet.
- UOForums - I am looking forward to the Vendor Search option. Is there any details that can be given on this yet? Will you get coordinates to the vendors location, or be teleported to the vendors location, or be shown a map of where the vendor is? Thanks!(Quintus Batiatus)
- Mesanna: How about all of the above? We want to give you options and make it useable by all.
- UOForums - I'm a veteran player since 1997. Ive come and gone a few times now. Though I enjoy the game as it is currently and find it fun to discover new things that's been added in recent years, I sometimes long for the days of the original release. Or maybe, the post Trammel release. The days when GM smiths sat outside the Brit Blacksmith shops, selling their wares. You know, the "stand outside the bank repeating the same items your trying to sell" days. My question is this, would it be possible or have a shard just for classic game play? Thanks! (Quintus Batiatus)
- Mesanna: Not to give you a short answer on this one but it’s been hashed many times and the answer is still no.
- ‘Ello all! We have this fisherman in the SRC who is constantly frustrated by using his bait. He moans, that having to attach them individually every time you cast is so fiddly for his clumsy hands, he doesn’t even bother with it anymore. Is there a way you can make it more manageable even for slightly inapt fisherman? Maybe create a hook which can be charged with bait and then work like the lava ones? I am sure fishermen (and women of course) around the realms would be glad for it .... and stop prodding me Vaughan, I did ask them now .... so stop it! (John II, A&A4 Comments)(also asked by Frarc, Ask the Devs)
- Mesanna: Our stealing skill has just increased by .05 cause we are going to steal this awesome idea =)
- If a house falls next to you and you resize a house next to it. Will you be able to place on the idoc spot? Or will you not be able to place because of the Idoc placement timer?(Lord Gareth)
- Mesanna: Gareth *shakes head* you should know this! There is a delay and the time delays is from 30 minutes to 2 hours it’s totally random.
- UOMania clorenz - after paging a GM with one character, if I log off and switch to another character on the same account will I stay in queue and still receive an answer?
- GM Inarea: Yes as long as they are on the same account.
- UOMania clorenz - could we get also GM support via e-mail? It would be easier to explain the problem (especially for non native English speakers!)
- GM Inarea: So if English is not your native language, when you page state in the beginning that you would like to be contacted via email instead and give a brief description of the issue.
- UOMania clorenz - I left my Personal Bless Deed on Europa when I transferred my character to another shard. When I transferred the character back to Europa, the Personal Bless Deed was not working for him anymore. How do I get it fixed?
- Mesanna: Short answer a GM can fix it for you, long answer is we have this on our list to fix in the big bug push next publish.
- UOMania Sir Bolo - I've heard that under Lord Blackthorn's rule the players will be able to run for office in the cities of Britannia. Is this just for role-playing or will the player-run city councils also gain in-game powers? Can we have an example of the things they could do?
- Kyronix: If you mean in terms of having the ability to add or change your city? To give your city random buffs or a facelift or add a soda jerk or additions like this? Maybe. All I can say right now is that it is role-playing with a twist. All the details are not worked out, nothing is in stone. As soon as we have more details we will be happy to share them with you.
