    "Happy Birthday @Matheryn :D!'"
    [​IMG] <---<<< This Avatar has been with us all a very long time!

    :oops: Take a look at some of his early wants & predictions in our game and we can all see why he's been such a great influence on our game...

    Post From Matheryn, May 2013...
    1. do not put in an auction house unless its player run IE like UO
    2. No leading quests (i think richard said he wasent doing that anyway)
    3. If this is truely a spin off from Ultima series please put in creatures that were in the games that never made it to uo IE the giant bees from yew.
    4. No dead areas on the map - UO had so many areas that were fantastic but after the 'Event' that used them they became obsolete and never used again.
    5. Player housing needs to be structured not just plotted willy nilly anywhere and also have it facing different directions IE dont always have the entrance to the south
    6. Event Moderators need to be more creative and not just do a small little story written speech then spawn a tonne of never ending monsters for several days
    7. Change that accually happens - IE - Lord British sends us to take over a town - the town gets partially destroyed in the process - we are then tasked to fix the newly taken town - as we procurer the resources the town slowly gets fixed with identifiable changes - possibly a voting system to choose new upgrades for the town.
    8. Mounts are great but give them a bit more creativity - IE - we can craft items for them, armour, barding, backpacks to hold more stuff - ALSO - allow worldly objects like hitching posts to accually function so we can secure our mount to a post while wanding around on foot, another thing is a pen for your animal at your house so he can stay there while you are out and about or even logged off so he will use the food bin or troth ect.
    9. traps and puzzles in dungeons instead of just monsters every turn but traps that arnt easy but at the same time not rediculous to solve.
    10. In game books need to be structured a bit better instead of a little red of blue book like UO had. Give us something that scribes can be proud of so other people will be inspired to become a scribe
    11. Community hubs IE community veggy patch or wrestling pen or animal arena where entering requires specific rules to be followed
    12. Bandages to reserrect...really - give us something that really makes reserection meaningful weither it be for pets or players - IE - you need certain herbs such as mandrake root ect and need to cast a spell or chant to bring the * back to life.
    13. being able to run through someone in trammel was handy especially when you needed to get to a specific vendor ect but it was completely immersion breaking and unrealistic whereas in fellucia if you ran into someone you got blocked and that was fantastic so leave it like the latter
    14. taking someones head as a trophy in pvp was absolutly fantastic in UO then it was removed because of the kiddie factor which was complete utter garbage. We kill stuff in the game even people IE pvp and humanoids so the kiddie factor is mute so please leave the pvpers to there trophies :cool:
    15. ships need layers - being on a ship in UO was underwhelming - if you look at a ship in risen 2 - dark waters it has several basic layers to its ship which gives it more immersion and makes you feel like you are a commander of a vessel
    16. Spells and Arrows - PLEASE make them shoot str8 and not follow the target unless its a tracking spell ect.
    17. fast travel has always been a problem with the moongate system so maybe have it that you mark a stone that needs to be a certain proximaty of the origin gates to be able to use them which causes people to accually travel. reason for this is in UO it was very rare to run across someone else travelling as everyone just teleported around.
    18. do not make world chat as it makes it pointless to travel leave it like original UO aka proximity chat
    19. for those that dont like proximity chat have a mail system where they can send and recieve mail via a mail box of which mail boxes can be scattered around major hubs.
    20. Item stats VS skill level needs to be balanced we dont need everyone focusing on one or the other

    these are 20 of the top things i could remember being issues i seen in the ultima online saga and im sure i could come up with 200 more but ill let you ponder over these to begin with
    Not a Bad List of Predictions I'd Say ;)!'
    So, Happy Birthday Matheryn, We've Almost Made the Full List Come True Good Friend!
