• Fixed a crash that could occur on death/resurrection
• Dispel Field should be able to target fields

Yay ...............

My favorite:

chat text of different channels (say, guild, party, etc) should show up in different colors

w00t!

What a long list. Can't wait to get in there again. And yay to the coloured chat too.

w00t I think they got the brightness right this time!!!!!!!!!!! It looks SO much better - and things look nice and crisp. Thumbs up!

HUGE W00000000000T!!!!

Right clicking on title bars now closes window gumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice... that was driving me nuts.

This sounds awesome, i'm still patching. How do we set chat to legacy?

Legacy chat is in user settings, interface options.

What I can't figure out is the text colors? Supposedly the different types of chat are all colored now, but the only change I noticed in color was that speaking out loud was yellow, but all other chat (NPC's, guild chat, etc) was white. I didn't see any new settings to adjust colors or turn on colors or anything. I really really really hope they make guild chat a different color or let us configure our chat colors. It's so hard to distinguish between what you said out loud and what you said in guild. (I haven't even tried party chat yet!)

Also, I sent in a report suggesting that messages such as the taming "you seem to have angered the beast!" warnings go under the system chat tab instead of the chat-chat tab. I'd like to see the chat tab reserved for actual human or NPC chat, so that conversations don't get cluttered with system messages, taming messages, spell casting, etc. Right now, it's partially separate, but some of those non-chat messages still show up in the chat box.

Seems like they are really working hard on kr, i think im gonna subscribe to uo again. uo ftw.

I'd actually really like to have all messages and speech appear in the same window, I keep missing stuff

I was missing stuff when I had them in the default tabbed format, but since I've broken the two boxes apart I haven't had that problem.
