Publish 117 Updates

Good Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to get everyone up to date with the Publish of 117 and the New Legacy Beta Publish. We had published an update to 117 which caused some unexpected results that resulted in some necessary reverts. As far as the return of the items purchased with Sovereigns, please make sure you inform me or support. We are compiling a list of the Sovereigns that were involved in the revert and will be replacing the Sovereigns to your account that were used during the revert. Claims for missing sovereigns must be submitted by Tuesday, July 30th at 11:59 PM ET. We have corrected the issues and will be publishing and update to Publish 117 by Wednesday July 31st,.  In the meantime, please remove any exploited tabards off mannequins or they will be unequipped to the ground. Those equipped by players will be unequipped to the backpack if there is available backpack space. Please know that if you are wearing a converted tabard that was not exploited the publish will not affect those items. Those players who have exploited tabards that are no longer equip able have the option to keep it as deco or contact support to receive a complimentary transmogrification potion.

This Friday will also be our first New Legacy Beta weekend, more details will be available when the beta shard launches Friday.

See you in Britannia,

The War on Unapproved 3rd party programs

Good afternoon everyone,
   We are putting out this detection in maintenance so that means the Japanese shard will get this tonight and the others will get it when your shard performs its maintenance.
 We wanted to give you an update on our next step to crush the unapproved automatic gameplay in UO.  At this time these changes will only apply to EJ accounts.  If you are flagged, you will not be able to log back in the shard once you log out.  When you try to log back into that shard you will see a message such as this “Your access to this shard is currently suspended due to a violation of our terms of service. Our review process may take up to 72 hours to review the ticket but know that EJ accounts that are caught cheating or exploiting will be Perma banned.
   This is the first step we are doing to help stop the cheating in UO.  Please know additional measures are on the way.
Have a great day!
UO Team

Transmog potion exploit

Greetings Everyone,

I would like to address the exploit that is currently active with Hawkwind’s robe.  We are removing the Transmogrification Potion – Robe Slot from the store until this fix is published.  Know that we are working on a solution and will release it when it passes QA.  These items will no longer be equippable following the fix.

   Due to the fact this is an exploit you will be given one (1) of two (2) choices.

  1.  You can keep the item as decoration.  If you go that route then a note will be put in your file as to your decision.
  2.  Second choice is Mesanna will delete the item and give you back a transmog potion.  But you will lose the item.

Please contact CS to have your item processed.

Please also note that transmogrification of items onto non-repairable items results in a non-repairable item.

See you in Britannia,
