Publish 23 Updates & Bug Fixes

UO Team 25 Mar 2004 00:00:00 EST

Many people have begun considering Publish 23 the “Character Transfer publish,” but there’s a bit more to this server publish than that. Read on to learn about the changes and updates coming into the game along with the Character Transfer system.

Character Transfer System

• This system is currently in a live testing period. For more information about this new pay service, please visit www.uogamecodes.com.

Holiday Gifts Deactivated

• Any trees still placed in houses will be automatically turned back into deeds with the release of Publish 23, the “Character Transfer publish.”
  • These deeds will be stuck to the floor where your original holiday tree once stood, and only the characters that placed them will be able to pick them up.
  • These deeds will not take up any storage lockdowns.
  • Although they will not decay as quickly as normal, these deeds will decay within 7 days unless you store them someplace safe! Please make sure to store your deeds in your backpack or bank box, or secure them in your house, within that time.
• Players will also not be able to place holiday trees (until next holiday season).
• No new 2003 Holiday Gifts will be given out.

Items

• Mahjong boards should now continue to work correctly after maintenance or crossing a server boundary.
• An issue with item properties not being sent under some circumstances was fixed.

Pets

• Golems no longer get weaker after maintenance or crossing a server boundary
• Summoned creatures will no longer move slowly after maintenance or crossing a server boundary

Miscellaneous

• Players will now receive a warning message two minutes before a shard begins “gracefully” shutting down, such as before morning maintenance periods (but not before unscheduled shard downtime)
