Test Center 1 has been published with the following:

The stat gain system has changed on all non-Siege Perilous ruleset shards:

- Only when a player character advances in a skill or is at the skill cap for that skill, he/she may gain a stat point.

- All skills now have a primary and secondary stat. The primary stat will rise 75% of the time. The secondary stat will rise 25% of the time. If the primary stat is not set to “gain”, the secondary stat will be chosen. If the primary and secondary stats are both locked or set to “decrease”, neither stat will rise.

Note: If a stat is at the maximum individual stat cap of 125 and is not locked, it can be chosen, but it will not rise.

- The chance that a stat will increase on any given skill gain is 1 in 20.

- Purchasing skill training from an NPC will not raise stats.

- There is no longer a cap on how many stat points you can gain in any given time period

The Poisoning skill will now have a chance to rise whenever a player successfully poisons a victim while using the special maneuvers: Infecting Strike and Serpent Arrow. Higher skill levels will require the use of higher level poisons in order to have a chance to gain.

Khaldun puzzle boxes no longer float to the ceiling

Using a Scroll of Alacrity now gives you a confirmation option before taking effect

Potions of the same type and intensity now stack

Fixed an issue with blackrock mining

Fixed a bug with the Chivalry/Fast Cast cap

Undead in Old Haven have gained an immunity to blackrock infection

Fixed a bug that was preventing players from getting through the Hedge Maze properly

The Escutcheon de Ariadne now has a lower minimum strength and increased durability.

Fixed issues with accelerated skill gain where the acceleration was not properly taking effect in certain circumstances

Fixed an issue where hirelings were taking up control slots before they were actually paid gold.

Fixed a bug preventing the use of bless deeds

Fixed issue with Jacob’s Pickaxe where it was not regenerating charges correctly

Publish 44 Launching on Monday
Jeremy Dalberg
28 Apr 2007 16:15:59 EST

On Monday, April 30, we will be publishing to all servers and publishing a mandatory client patch. This patch will require substantial downtime - the plan is as follows:

- At 9:00 AM PDT (4:00 PM GMT) all servers will be taken down and the servers will be published

- When the publish is complete and the patch is ready to go, we will bring up TC1. We will be testing on KR and encourage players to join us.

- Once we're confident, we will be bringing up the other servers slowly, beginning with Origin.

The publish process is estimated to take approximately 8 hours. We'll be updating regularly on the Herald if the schedule changes at all. The patch is fairly large (about 57 megs) so plan for it to take a bit of time to download.

Due to the nature of some of the changes, we expect players to find some minor art bugs - if you find a bug, please report it to uobugs@uo.com!

Notes after the jump:

* Updated the shards to allow the Kingdom Reborn beta client to be able to connect to them
* Discontinued the 3D client
* “Add Party Member", "Remove Party Member", "Leave the Party", "Disband the Party", and "Party can loot me" and "Party cannot loot me" are now context menu options
* New players
*
o All new players, regardless of what they select, will now start in New Haven
o Previous directed experience template quests (Paladin, Ninja, Samurai, etc) are no longer offered to new players
o New players no longer get the Tour
o Young players no longer get the Mongbat Quest
o New players will be able to take a number of different quests aimed at helping them raise appropriate skills in New Haven
o All starting profession templates will have 4 skills that start at 30 skill points.
o

Players in Old Haven will be teleported to the center of New Haven.
1.

The teleport will NOT happen under the following conditions:
1. The player is on a Siege ruleset shard
2. The player's first login is not in Haven
3. The player has already been redirected
2.

Pets will also teleport with the player UNLESS:
1. The pet is a summoned creature
2. The pet is a necro animate
*

Multiple World Changes
o Haven has become ruined
o New Haven has begun to emerge
o Some areas, especially dungeons, have a different look and feel
o Roads have been widened
*

Arms Lore has been changed:
o Arms Lore will increase when weapons and armor are crafted
o When a weapon is exceptionally crafted, the damage increase modifier will increase by 1% per 20 points of Arms Lore.
o When a piece of armor (not including shields) is exceptionally crafted, each resist normally available on that armor piece will increase by 1% per 20 points of Arms Lore

"With this KR-related patch date changing so much, does this mean the actual KR release date has changed?"
Yes, somewhat. Our current target rather pushes the definition of "spring" - but not by much. And that’s only our official release date - beta will definitely be in "large-scale" mode well before that, so many, many people will get to try it out on their regular servers. This change is not a bad thing by any means - we’ll be using the time to polish and perfect KR, so we give you the best possible product.

"How do you mine up blackrock?"
While blackrock has been found in small amounts anywhere that ore can be mined, it requires utmost skill to extract it in usable amounts. Only a Grandmaster Miner would have the skill to retrieve blackrock from ordinary ore veins. Also, beware - mining blackrock is a dangerous profession, as Blackrock Elementals are often attracted to the area...

--
"What's with Dread Spiders?"
This one is totally my fault - it got left out of the patch notes, I totally planned to post about it, and it slipped my mind... like six times. Anyway, least said soonest mended: here's the patch note regarding Dread Spiders that should have gone in this change list:

- Balancing changes were made to the Dread Spider that make it more appropriately dreadful

--
"What exactly are the specifices on the dread flute?"
Leurocian, Traveling Bard, looked it up, and the Dread Flute is a regular instrument that is self-recharging - it can hold up to 700 charges.

--
"Is there a way to recharge the old school items (armour and weapons) that have charges on them?"
Specifically, items like bear masks with invisibility on them, etc - the answer is no. Items that have properties that don't spawn anymore (and how many staves of Item ID do I have hanging around in my bank?) are rare items and, once used up, can't be recharged.

KR Beta Picture of the Week
Missed this feature last week - apologies, all! This week we show off one of the brand-new capabilities of the Kingdom Reborn client. I present to you... One Particle Effect to Rule Them All.

BANG!
--
3D Client Update:
Well, clearly we didn't make our target of "this week." We've readjusted our aim for Monday the 30th, and we should be able to post official announcements tomorrow if we're going to go forward with Monday. The patch will involve substantial downtime, so keep your eyes peeled for announcements.

Chicago Town Hall
No rest for the wicked - the Chicago Town Hall Meeting approaches. This one makes me more nervous than usual, because not only will I be getting up on stage in front of y'all, but my parents will be watching as well :) RSVP now to join that august company!

--
Only a few more days to participate in the Feedback Beta Contest! This month is a fair bit slower than last month, so your chances of winning are *much* better. Send in your feedback here for a chance at a KR beta slot!

Forms submitted must be received before midnight, April 30 (CDT) in order to be eligible. Spam will be deleted, and while "I want a beta slot" is feedback, of a sort, it's not what we're looking for. Pick a topic and tell me how you feel about it - balance, crafting, PvP, whatever. Make a suggestion, a complaint, a rant - whatever is on your mind.

Fansite News:
If you missed the Philly Town Hall for whatever reason UO Radio graciously provided us with a recording of their live feed - get it here!

From UOHerald

April 20, 2007

"If I use a character name change token, will my name change on my Candle of Love or will it stay the same?"

Wilki says, "It stays the same."
--
"Does casting Protection reduce your FC cap to 2?"

Yes and no - the Protection FC reduction is applied AFTER the cap takes effect. If your total FC is at the cap of 4 (for Ninjitsu, Bushido, Spellweaving, and, under certain circumstances, Chivalry,) then yes, it'll reduce it to 2. If you're at a cap of 2 (for Magery, Necromancy, and under other circumstances, Chivalry) casting Protection will reduce your FC to 0. (The above, of course, assumes that you have the gear to be at the cap in the first place - if not, Protection just reduces your current FC by 2.)
--
"Please let us trade in the Ophidian stuff too!"

This was on Stratics, but I'd hate for anyone to miss Draconi's reply:

"Okay, but not right this second, and not in the same manner. "
--
"Will Aegis of Grace still have two forms artistically in KR? "

From Grimm:

"The answer is: They should look the same in KR!"
--
"Will my rares still be rare in KR?"

The short answer is yes - any items that are rare now (for reasons of name or color) should still be rare in KR. Changing the client you view it with won't change its fundamental properties, any more than changing between the current 2D and 3D clients would. Now, all the items will look somewhat different because the art is different, but it shouldn't affect rarity or uniqueness.
--
"Does equipping a +success chance talisman change your rate of skill gain?"

For difficulty-based skills, including the crafting skills, it does - it can actually affect it either way. Your skill gain in these skills is dependent on your success chance for each action - you have a better chance of gaining if the action is neither too easy nor too hard. So anything that changes that chance of success, including talismans and +skill jewelry, will change the rate at which you gain skill.
--
3D Client Update:
The patch that discontinues the 3D client is holding steady for Wednesday the 25th. We'll post on the Herald and update the patcher if/when this changes, but at this moment, it looks like we're going to make that date.
--
Philadephia Town Hall Reminder!
The Philly Town Hall Meeting is tomorrow! We should have all the usual goodies - food, gossip, news, beta invites. UO Radio is planning to be there broadcasting live, for the folks too far away to make it. There's no reason not to RSVP now!
--
The Feedback Contest went so well that we're running it again this month! Send in your feedback here for a chance at a KR beta slot!

Forms submitted must be received before midnight, April 30 (CDT) in order to be eligible. Spam will be deleted, and while "I want a beta slot" is feedback, of a sort, it's not what we're looking for. Pick a topic and tell me how you feel about it - balance, crafting, PvP, whatever. Make a suggestion, a complaint, a rant - whatever is on your mind.

The following was posted over at UO Stratics by Wilki (Dev, EA-Mystic), on the UO UhHall:

No one was banned for buying duped artifacts, unless they did so in mass quantities. We're ultimately responsible for the bug that allowed the dupe to occur in the first place, so it'd be pretty unfair to ban players who unwittingly bought a few artis or other high end items for personal use, etc.

However, item sellers who bought a LOT of duped items (as in you go to their house/backpack and see a bag with a 3 dozen covetous statues, 20 hats of the magi, 15 ornies, and some "unique" event items thrown into the mix) were given no quarter. While the dupers may have exploited this bug, it was the item sellers who truly did the damage to the game. Any one of them that tries to tell you, "But I only bought items from a supplier, I didn't realize where they came from," needs to be smacked upside the head, and then tarred and feathered.

UO is a GAME, not a freakin' business, and while we don't ban players for selling things for cash, we're not going to look very kindly on those who harm the game in doing so. And honestly, are any of these "trustworthy" brokers and item sellers with "years of UO experience" really going to tell us with a straight face that they didn't know those bags of 125 character transfer tokens and the bags full of extremely rare event items (i.e. bags with more of them than should even exist in all of UO) were duped?

Equine Puckey!

If those people bother to email me, they might as well call just call 976-WHAH, because that's pretty much going to be my reaction when I read their "so sad" emails.

To this date, I've unbanned ONE player, who had ONE account banned (out of 3), where a genuine mistake was made. I've been going through the players who have emailed me so far, one by one, to see if we made a mistake somewhere else. Tonight, I got an email from a "lady" who claimed she had never exploited, and was just a nice mother of 2 who loved UO. Pfft. How about that bag of 30 each valorite hammers, barbed kits and heartwood dovetail saws we found in her house? Or the fact that the account she was trying to keep hidden from us had a bag with 124 hat of the magis in it, along with lots of other artifacts?

To those people: DON'T BOTHER EMAILING ME! I wasn't born yesterday, I don't fall for the lame emo emails, and we're simply not going to release your account with 100's of duped items on it because you spun a really unconvincing story about how you just bought your account from your little brother/roommate/ex-girlfriend and didn't know your house was already being used to store those 500 artifacts. And yes, we DO know about your other "hidden" accounts. And no, changing your IP, using an internet cafe or using different payment methods won't help you either. We WILL find you, so you might as well just stop wasting your time and go find another game to exploit. Or, I have a better idea - how about if you go find something productive to do with your lives? That's the best idea of them all.

And honorable players - please, STOP BUYING from the item sellers who were "out of stock" last week. These parasites wouldn't be perpetuating this fraud if no one bought their stuff in the first place.

If any of this sounds harsh, well, I suppose it is. I love this game, and I really don't like people who try to do it harm.

As posted over at UO.com's FYI page


On Wednesday, November 15, 2006 at approximately 5:30PM PST (November 16 - 1:30AM GMT), we will be deploying a publish to the Origin shard.

The update will contain the following changes:

* Turned off the Sewer Rat invasion and the Halloween event content (Note: The Shard of the Dead will remain up until further notice)
* The 8th Age quiver is no longer blessed on Siege or Mugen
* The Heritage Collection Boiling Cauldron is now a container (may require re-deeding)
* Peaches picked from the Heritage Peach Tree will now stack with other peaches
* Personal attendants will no longer lose their clothing after passing through a moongate
* Removed the ability to raise and lower an object with a house decoration tool if the item is placed at the same exact location as another item. This had been causing certain multi-tiled items to break
* Fixed an issue that was causing arcane clothing charges to be used when the player had the required reagents
* Water barrels and field spells will no longer block house placement
* Fixed an exploit with aquariums
* Fixed an exploit with Character Statues
* Fixed an exploit with certain skills that could bypass the skill re-use timer
* Various fixes for issues with character transfer

We expect the Origin shard to remain offline for approximately one hour.

Britannia Rejoices


Zilo the Scribe Oct 18 2006 5:12PM


The infamous Ricardo, recently captured and secured in the Trinsic jail, shall be brought to trial within a fortnight. Officials plan to move the villain, under heavy guard, to the Court of Truth. Citizens are to be assured, that while Ricardo is known as something of an escape artist, he will find himself outmatched against his new bindings.

Using a specially designed carriage, the Paladins of Trinsic will test their new transport to its limits on this maiden voyage. The mobile cell, crafted of thick oak, and plated with steel, bristles with weapons. The carriage can hold up to 15 occupants, but for its inaugural run, the only unwilling passenger on the manifest is Ricardo.




Seemingly clairvoyant, the good Sheriff of Trinsic, addressed our concerns about Ricardo's upcoming trip. The mobile prison that shall house him, is not only inescapable, but highly resistant to damage, and fireproof as well. Ricardo has earned a dubious reputation throughout the underworld for his uncanny ability to escape incarceration. The virtuous Paladins of Trinsic seemed inspired by this challenge, and rose valiantly to meet it.

While this reporter passes no judgment on the accused, I feel it is my obligation to express heartfelt gratitude towards our magnanimous legal system. A system championed with heroes like Casca. A system which eternally strives to keep us safe and secure from our lesser brethren.

Citizens make way for this titan of singular purpose. Clear the roads for this juggernaut of justice. Trust in our judicial champions to bring this scoundrel, and all those like him, down low.

Exciting Night of Adventure on the Origin Shard!

Strange gates, a new dungeon, an onslaught of monsters, explosions of gold and a really bad dragon named Baleriom. Just what in the heck was happening on the
Origin shard anyhow? On Wednesday evening, we held our first Community ran event which turned out to be a great success. For several hours in the afternoon/evening,
players of all professions tested their mettle against many challenging monsters in a new mini-dungeon. To see some of the action,
click here. (Image is 850k in size, and shows the entire dungeon in full scale!)

Click here to read the rest of the story.

Tomorrow January 20, 2006 we will be publishing the remainder of the shards with the out of cycle publish that was deployed to Origin this morning (1/19/06).


This publish includes:

• Pub38 damage cap now works correctly
  
• Christmas Tree deeds will no longer decay if left locked down in a house for over 7 days
  
• Fixed an issue where Christmas Tree deeds could not be picked up in certain cases
  
• Improved the Aminia werewolf spawner
  
• Addressed server stability issues
  

Please note that since this is a phased rollout, character transfers will not be possible between shards that are running different versions.


The publish will take place during the normal maintenance period for each shard. Click HERE a complete list of maintenance times.

Rolf the Wandering Healer Hi there, my friend! I'm a simple healer, devoted to roaming the land helping those in need. But, my story is long and not why I came to you. Though they are oft neglected in this day and age, even the least of the lowly knows that there are eight virtues in this world. I'm going to tell you eight stories, but it's up to you to find meaning in them…. There's no war going on, why is this old codger working us like this? Kane the Master of Arms No, no, NO! How many times do I have to tell you? You do it like this! Do you think this is a game? Do you think if you cry yield in battle that you'll get a hand up like you do here? You will die if you don't knuckle down and learn to fight less like slobbering puppies and more like men! You! You think this is funny, do you? We'll see who's laughing after your first battle, you bunch of worthless, craven maggots! *sigh* How ever can they expect me to hold Trinsic with this lot? Please, Jack… all I have to give you is this, despite what you think. What do you say? Derek the Merchant I am the last of the de Boors, and soon I too will pass on, leaving no heir, but more importantly, with my family's legacy tarnished. Yes, it is entirely my fault, but I must find someone to help me, or else we will be remembered only by my last pitiful deed… Please Fabrizio, let me die as your wife… let this be your last memory of me, as I am. Not as I will become. Fabrizio the Master Weaponsmith Aminia, my love… this cannot be! I refuse to believe there is nothing that can be done. Perhaps… Yes, yes! The Lycaeum! It is said an answer to every question can be found if one looks hard enough, so there must be a way to cure you. I will find it, I promise you this. Speak no more of death, not a single word more of it. Natalie, it is no longer safe for you here. You must flee before he learns who you are! Natalie the Lady I would know that face anywhere, I am sure it is he who slew my mother and father. What to do? I've dreamt about the day that I took from him what he took from my parents… from me. Though, I am not foolhardy enough to throw my life away for naught; I know that I am not up to the task myself. Yet no one seems to care to make him pay for his crime. By sword or spell it matters not, he must not be allowed to slip away. Oh Catelyn dear, have you seen my favorite ring? Drats, I have no idea where it is! Evan the Begger Beg pardon, sir? Give your mercy to this most pitiful of beggars? Or, just ignore me… no bread for the ignored beggar, again.*sigh* Hmm, what's this? *picks up something shiny* Wow, it must be worth a fortune! I wonder who it belongs to… Yes, we can be a family again, please just be patient and I will find a way. Aurelia the Architect's Daughter *Praying* I'm Aurelia from Jhelom and my mother did something truly terrible. A nasty old necromancer promised to bring my father back from the graveyard for a little coin; little did she know, he literally meant “from the graveyard.” My father won't be happy like that, and my mother and I cannot live with a walking corpse! Please, please show me the way to end this tragedy! Dread Spider silk you say? I know just where to get some, I shall return soon. Ben the Apprentice Necromancer My master thinks this an easy task. Well, if it was so easy, why doesn't he go do it himself then? The very thought of that place fills me with dread… I can barely look at the entrance much less catch a single ghost! Oh, I wish I could stay here in Minoc, where the wine is mulled and the people don't pass through walls unhindered. No, no more ghosts in Covetous for me! Yes, he and I could make a very good match, indeed. My wedding day is almost upon me, yet I am haunted by this feeling… Emilio the Tortured Artist Oh, she's to be married to him, is she? I… I am happy for her. It is good that I'm not the groom, as she deserves far better than I. Suddenly, I have no interest in finishing this painting today… or ever, really. Although I have some money from selling my work, it is not nearly enough make her happy. Nor should a man of my station truly be thinking like this of a Lady, it simply is not done.

The following was posted to FYI on the Ultima Online Website:

Tonight, November 9, 2005 we will be deploying the Publish 37 Hotfix worldwide as follows:

Please note that the Europa and Drachenfels shards will skip their normal maintenance today, and instead will be brought down according to the schedule above.

We are expecting each publish window downtime to last approximately one hour, however due to the nature of this Hotfix, these times are approximate and are subject to last minute change.

The Publish 37 Hotfix includes:

• Cu Sidhe tamed before pub 37 will once again heal their owners.
  
• Advanced Character tokens will no longer work on Siege Perilous and Mugen shards.
  
• An issue that could potentially cause shards to crash has been fixed.
  
• The Ninjitsu Deathstrike ability will once again do the intended amount of damage.
  
• Multiple Deathstrikes will now stack appropriately on an opponent that has not moved.
  
• Changed the cut-off date for claiming Blue Soulstone tokens to December 13th. After this date 8th Age codes will no longer produce a Blue Soulstone token, however any tokens already claimed in-game will be redeemable indefinitely.
  
• Fixed two exploits.
  

We will keep you updated if any of this information changes.

Details for the patch are as follows:

• Improved the way object handles display names
  
• Tracking arrow now lines up better with target in 2D client
  
• The chat window now minimizes instead of closes when a player dies in 2D client
  
• The sounds slider bar in the options menu now works correctly
  
• Ambient jungle sounds no longer persist when you leave the jungle
  
• Players and creatures will no longer disappear when a frame of animation cannot be found. This change addresses several issues such as:
  
  
  
  • Players horse disappears when they are fishing while mounted
    
  • Parrot disappears when it squawks
    
  • Player disappears while lumberjacking in Horrific Beast form (2D client)
    
  
  
• Fixed a few spots in Ilshenar that were too dark
  
• Fixed a trailing issue for players riding beetles while wearing a wizard’s hat
  
• Revenants will now display correctly display the equipment they are wearing
  
• Fixed an issue where the party looting rights toggle did not always display the correct information
  
• The Abattoir house add-on no longer disappears when the OmitBlood option is enabled.
  
• The skills list now closes correctly when you hit the back button during character creation
  
• Bumped the client version letter
  
• Fixed missing water and lava tiles, as well as made various other map fixes
  
• Fixed art on the Elven Wash Basin (south)
  
• Tall Elven Beds no longer clip second floor tiles
  
• Flowered hairstyle now has a flower in 3D client
  
• Carpets now show up correctly on the 2nd floor of the Britain Library
  
• Characters who equip a repeating crossbow no longer have a black dot show up on their forehead in their paperdoll
  
• Fixed a clipping issue with Leaf Tonlets in 3D client
  
• Gold no longer falls through certain floor tiles
  
• Spiked hair no longer clips through certain helmets
  
• Mounted player no longer sits to the side of a Cu Sidhe
  
• String of Shells is no longer visible through upper floors when placed on a lower floor
  

Some of these changes will not be visible until Publish 37 is active on all shards.

If patched correctly, your current version will display 5.0.1d for both clients. If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following:

Check the "Patch" directory within your Ultima Online directory (the default location is C:\Program Files\Ultima Online\Patch). This directory should be empty. Any files in this directory should be deleted.

Run a virus scan on your computer. Undetected viruses may cause conflicts with patching Ultima Online. For information on up-to-date virus detection software, please visit http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/vso/default.asp.
