1. How do you arrive at decisions regarding new content?
S: I think it goes based off all of our experience from previous servers or from playing back in the day on OSI. If it was done before, will it work out for us. We know our player base, we have a pretty good idea what people do or don't want. Development wise that's a whole different ball game.
2. How did you get Richard Garriot involved in a player run shard?
S: I had his contact from long ago. We've kept in contact over the years. He was more than open to it. He's a very easy going humble guy.
3. Will there ever be a Meta Crafter?
S: I've told some people before that there's plans for a Meta Crafter but its not going to be what anybody thinks. Its not like a pet or talisman. Its kind of like a suit that only crafter can wear and you build on the suit. Its like a mecha suit but I don't like the word mecha. I forget the word we came up with.
D: WOOF! WOOF!
[Lost Sound]
Begging at Donation Vendor
E: But it was crashing a lot of people. It was because of the speech hue on some of the vendors, when they were speaking it crashed some people.
J: Its an old April Fool's joke.
S: What was that for?
J: The begging on the dono vendor:
S: Yea it actually did end up crashing the server. Adam said "You'll never believe what is crashing the server". Just unreal, who would have thought.
4. Eppy breaks protocol and doesn't read the question!!! Something about boats?
E: There's a bunch of questions about boats. People like boats I guess. I don't know what to say about boats really. We added the new boats and the water champ. I think it works pretty well now. But adding more stuff, that's not really on my plate at the moment.
S: Could do more with whirlpools maybe.
E: Yea whirlpools are pretty easy to add too.
S: It would be more to add more SOSs too.
J: I really wish we could get melee mobs to board the boat.
5. Name change deeds
E: I don't think we have any desire to do that whatsoever.
J: Nah.
E: I guess that's a fun topic really. I guess people would expect us to do that eventually but I think it has worked really awesome not having them personally.
[Something E has to come back to developing, needs harder mobs]
6. Making levelling easier
P: Quite often we have double XP and skill gain. I would just grind during those times.
E: I've been looking at all the things you have to macro all the time. I'd like to get rid of more of those things. Especially things like crafting slayers which is just a crafting macro grind. Things like that which are super boring should be changed in my opinion.
7: Where is the future of UOF going to?
P: There's endless possibilities! I'm sure that's not the answer you wanted to hear.
8: Can we get poison arrows?
P: No. You cannot.
S: Why?
P: In a PvP sense, no. I know we talked about an archer talisman. That was one of the possibilities. There are quite a few options there like piercing, frozen arrows, stuff like that. I don't really know where that went but we did talk about it.
E: The zerker infected wounds relic works with archery.
D: Woof!
9. Something about who has most gold?
E: I actually have no idea. You can check their gold but that's not...
S: Yea, you gotta add up all their houses.
P: Probably Duck Face.
S: Yea, that guy has a lot of stuff.
[Beard & Flannel Shirt talk]
10. New dono items
E: We have to add Fay's dono stuff - We know that. It is ready to go, we just need to put it in the game.
[Live banning action] [Much not reading questions...]
E: Not many people are willing to make UO art. It's a little rough.
J: We got rid of the shadow elemental XP because people were abusing them, right Eppy?
E: Yea they were trying to sit there and macro on it all day.
E: We actually do have the Locke Cole statue fixed, we just have to add that to the launcher.
