Hey guys,
I just wanted to step by and ask if there are any news on the last issues we brought up and whether there is anything you want us to test.

Edit: I just figured out what might be the problem with the Moongates: You propably can't port to Fel because you are young. Just say: "I renounce my young player status" and confirm. This should fix your problem.

Thanks that worked, I totally forgot about that after so many years. Lets see if we can work around the bugs and help some more with testing.

razor does not work
Same for me, try AssistUO (not UO Assist!) which seems to be an upgrade of Razor and works fine for me.
skill selection on character creation does nothing
I guess its intended that you start with no skills at all.
trade skill and animal taming gains on low levels around 30 do not work at all 10+ tries
I can confirm that. I have also tamed several animals with 32.8 Animal taming - no gain.
strange server lags from 1.5 - 3 seconds not always but most of the time; its not the ping
Same here. I suppose this could be due to the number of NPCs (which seems to be constantly increasing)
moongates port to trammel and only list trammel and ilsh so there is no way back to fel
I have also ported to Trammel a few times and the Moongates work. There is a selection on the left side where you can choose Felucca, Trammel and Ilshenar. Maybe you could try some other Moongate? The ones that worked for me in Trammel are Yew, Mooonglow and New Haven.
no help from support for 3 days, stayed logged in for several hours per day with opened ticket
Stay patient. As far as i know there are currently only two people that could help you. However they are very friendly and willing to help. I think if you ask them for help here they will be able to do something for you Wink

That is weird for multiple reasons, first of all you shouldn't have been able to GM Mining so fast, second are the mining drops, third is the skill cap. I will look into these issues.
Hm i guess Mining ist just one of the skills that rises quite fast. Also I have been Mining A LOT these last days. Other skills that are supposed to gain slow actually do. For example i spent about 16k of ingots to gain from 32 to 43 Blacksmithy.
About the ores: I have only been mining in Minoc mine, maybe thats the issue?

Hey Greg,

so here is my first small bug report:
1. The standard skill cap seems to be still intact. I bought up some more skills today and once i reached 700 i couldn't buy up any further. Also using low skills wouldn't give me any gains.
2. Even though im at GM Mining the only metals i have found so far are iron and bronze. I am not sure if this is intended.

Two more questions:
Will the cap for a single skill be 100 or will there be power scrolls? I'm asking because I haven't found any NPC offering BODs yet.
Is the stat cap standard 225 or something different?

Cheers

This game actually sounds/looks pretty sick haha might try it out  Grin

For everyone who knows MMOs but not Ultima Online and wonders why, watch this:

Thank you, CoinUO for this shard. I have one question which belongs to the bitcoin forum. You say that the gold in the loot is automatically adjusted to the amount of bitcoins. How does this work exactly? Does it mean there is a fixed rate of exchange between IG gold and bitcoin which your program tries to sustain? Is, for example, every goldcoin backed up by a satoshi or like 10% of all coins?
And whatfor is the bitcoin stone in game? It currently does nothing for me.

The shard assumes that every Bitcoin is worth 1,000,000GP (this value could change), this sounds like very much but in reality equals to 3-5USD per 5,000BTC which you could potentially acquire within 15 minutes with a powered up character. If there is less BTC in the system than GP in the world then less GP is issued with every monster kill in proportion, if there is more then more BTC is issued.

The server still needs a lot of balancing which is why we beta test it (thank you beta testers!).

To withdraw with the Bitcoin stone you first turn your BTC into a check (walk up to a banker in britian and write "check amount") once you get the check you double click it when it's in your backpack and point it on the Bitcoin stone, the check should then disappear and a transaction sent to your address, the txid will be shown to you in-game.

It might be that it's gone if you have played less than half an hour on it since it didn't hit the save before I had to shut down the server, other than that I have yet to witness a character disappearing. I can give you some stuff to make up for it.
Hm I've been playing for about 2 days now. Already had Mining over 60, Tinkering over 50, some other skills bought up, about 5 gains each in dex and int and more than 20 gains in str. Thats a bummer, but hey its beta after all Wink I'll create a new char and make a support ticket. Maybe you can provide me with some coins, so i can buy up some skills and dont have to spend several hours on bashing birds again.
Anyway thank you for the support.

Sure thing, post/PM your nickname.

By the way lets get a welcome to the new developer Julian! Sorry for anyone who has been trolled by Julian or will be trolled by Julian in the future, since it's just a beta we let ourselves interfere a little bit more with the gameplay than what we would once we're out of beta.

Update: I just logged in and got straight to the character creation screen. It seems like my Char is gone. Maybe because I have been online when the server crashed? Or is it possible that more chars are lost?
