    Yes, there are Kickstarter items that they still need to make good on.

    ...also seasonal weather. And meteorites, volcanic eruptions, and outbreaks of rare plants and animals.

    And the whole "world is a stage" thing.

    And guild wars.

    But, like they have already stated, those were stretch goal items that don't actually need to actually be fulfilled. Because reasons.

    @DarkStarr I know the Obsidian weapon bonus are not working is a known issue but once that bonus is fixed can you please add to the enchantment choices a bonus vrs other creature types please?

    These could be tied to gem types or fully random but we would like to see slayer/bane type weapons.
    You wrote on your two year plan:
    Please add these as the new effects.

    How about adding creatures to this?
    Maybe a weapon used to kill a type of creature enough will give a scaling bonus against that same creature.

    Specialization for both crafting and adventuring.

    That was one of the original concepts for item history, with their usual example being an undead bane.

    Do we need a map-permissions toggle on the POT governor interface?

    Never played the offline Ultima.
    Can you explain what ritual magic means in the context of ultima 8?
    Thanks!

    Ah i see, thanks.
    I feel that this kind of spell system is either outdate or the spell power won't justify the work is needed to cast a single spell.
    But that's just me ^^

    I would like to see an option to key-bind to "unsheath weapon" and "sheath weapon" in addition to the current "toggle sheath/unsheath weapon.

    So many times I am approaching some mobs and one hits me just before I click Z. My weapon pops out when it hits me, then goes back in the sheath when I press Z
    I press Z again, but the mob has struck again thus unsheathing my weapon, then my Z sheaths the weapon back.
    This happens several times and I have a good bit of damage before I can even start combat.

    Will you reduce the price of curing salt? The salt is the main expense when crafting good leather armor.

    Or, if you find it to match the nature of crafting better, maybe add some salt mining to the game.

    think that's planned. there are a few small salt nodes here and there (coal ones too) but a: not enough to make worth mining and b: yields salt ingots, which currently go to cooking salt, not curing salt.

    @DarkStarr,

    today I thought of a very special feature to transfer offline Characters to online - and maybe online Characters offline ;)
    Could be a thing to buy in shop (may be at this time we receive the possibility to buy more character slots).

    @DarkStarr,

    once upon a time there was the idea to have the "Outlander Guild" where every new outlander would be in.
    I thought this would be great, and beside this, the possibility to join more than one guild.
    (Outlander guild + 1 other...)
    May be you rethink this idea of an outlander guild :)
    This could contain an outlander training camp with mastertrainer with special quests and price reduction at npcs for outlander guild members only ;)

    They've mentioned that online to offline may be possible but offline to online isn't going to happen.
