Will · 1st January 2008, 11:47 PM

Hello everyone, my name is Will lol I am from searchuo.com and wanted to ask everyone some questions.

#1 Do you use Search UO?

#2 If you could add 1 thing to Search UO, what would it be?

#3 Have you ever paid for gold or items for Ultima Online?

Hi Will, welcome to UOForums.

1. I think the site is very well set out and user friendly.

2. I could find everything I personally would need to, so cannot comment here

3. No.

#1 I have used it, saves alot of time when shopping in Luna.

#2 a. drop the pop up map, happen to like the other site for its map on same page.

b. Is it possible to show other places besides Luna, on other shards? Would it be possible to maybe show est venders outside Luna, Malas, Tram etc. if you had runes to locations to check?

#3 I have in the past brought gold from sites much like yours, but today after playing for like 9 yrs my needs are less and less to what I need or want. Of course there are items in game I love to have, but really cannot see paying what they are asking for it when there is a % of a chance that I can get it myself by just playing the game. Besides I'm retired and on a fix income so have to becareful with the old CC.

#1 I did, when I played, it was a godsend to find the items I needed.

#2 The ability to request other areas to be scanned/setup for use on the site, like busy vendor malls and the like

#3 Yea, several times, although not through the searchUO site.

#1. Yes, I do use it because it is a great "time saver" not havening to go to each individual vendor in Luna looking for an item. It's a wonderful time saver.
#2. Yes, it would be nice if you could show other places outside Luna, maybe feature a different section other than Luna a week or something along those lines.
#3. No, but recently I have considered it seeing as all the items that are uber cool are so expensive.

We'll we currently have it setup to scan outside of luna to anywhere we have runes to, so there is now a Add a shop link along the blue bar with the ICQ numbers, where you can tell us the location to your shop. And yes I am doing away with the pop up mapping. Thanks a lot for the feedback so far

Hi Will -

#1 Do you use Search UO? - Yes

#2 If you could add 1 thing to Search UO, what would it be? - More shops outside of Luna. If I could add 2 things, the second would be a "saved searches" option where I could save keywords I frequently search for easy repeat searches.

#3 Have you ever paid for gold or items for Ultima Online? - You mean, paid cash for gold or items? If so, yes

The new layout sucks and has a lot of errors. The scrolling news is also annoying. Who cares who is running for president, I am searching for UO items.

I'm not a fan of the scrolling news either... or any motion on the page, really, for that matter. Animations distract me.

Will · 3rd January 2008, 02:08 PM

If I were to remove the scrolling news from that spot, what would be a good replacement?

Many, many times daily

#2 If you could add 1 thing to Search UO, what would it be?
Get my Vendor houses listed! I applied the first day you made the option available!

Honestly though, I have talked to you guys via the chat on your site and do get conflicting information. I understand it takes time and all, But I would guess I was one of the first.

So, to answer the question "If you could add 1 thing to Search UO, what would it be?", is a honest answer on a time line when you WILL start adding MORE outside vendors?

I know you can, because there are a few that show up on my daily searches (one in Yew gate, one in middle of no place Malas....).

#3 Have you ever paid for gold or items for Ultima Online?
Heck yeah! Some from you!

Your site rocks! A few bugs here and there, but when I chat with the operators they are responsive and things get fixed. What more can I ask for? (except my vendors listed

)

1- When I first seen your site, Yes, I used it... But when I realized it was Luna only, well sorry, I haven't been back...

2- That would be a Global search of every vendor on a Shard... with hourly updates... or just sell the search engine to us who are willing to pay $19.95 for such a thing... and we can do our own searching...

3- Yes, about 5 yrs ago I nearly gave the game up all together, until an 18x18 fell across the road from my 18x18... and thats all she wrote... I purchased 89 million for $1per... spent most on house decos and Vet rewards... I probly have 1 check left... Nothing more in the game I'm interested in spending real cash for, the prices have gone outrageous...

And now I'm stuck, loosing interest again...
