Please tell me that with the new engine and graphics redesign, you will mute all the ghastly colors and remove the capacity of all tubs to make these brilliant hues. Im not agains orange or yellow. Just make it - well appropriate for the times we live in.

As for neon dyes please kill them.
As for dyed hair now. Maybe put them on a timer. Like they wash out after a year.

Do something, anything, please.

That's the intention, yes.

Things will still be colorful, but we'd very much like to avoid the highly saturated bright colors that have snuck into the game recently, leaving the item looking washed out. We can still have reds, yellows, oranges, blues, etc and still make them fit into the overall style of UO.

I'm still curious as to what's wrong with bright, vibrant colors. They had them in the Middle Ages, they had them in Ancient Egypt, they had them in Feudal Japan, and they had them in Ancient China.

Just because a particular color doesn't appeal to me or you doesn't mean that it shouldn't be available.

And UO is NOT a recreation of medieval times. It has its own unique legacy. The "time we live in" doesn't even apply, because, based on Ultima, the time we "live in" is equivelant to modern day Earth. Maybe the Avatar introduced bright, shiney colors.

They had bright colors in comparision to the colors they had. Purples, reds, yellows. Sure they were brighter.

They didnt have neons. They didnt have blaze. The didnt have glacial hair.

Some colors are fine in the bright realm.

I think you all know the eye sores I am talking about.

Just make it so anyone wearing neon (be it an item of clothing or hair) is grey and freely attackable (in Tram or Fel).

They had bright colors not bright colors compared to the times they were bright!

no neon signs did not exists. but blaze colored cloth did. and OK no one had glacial hair I'll give him that one.

It has always amazed me that people believe what the movies tell them. "The Dark Ages" were not dark! they had light and color. If you go to a museum and look at the colors you must realize that they are faded by time and not as they originally appeared. They put together very strange color combinations. It was "dark" because of the spread of diseases not the lack of color or even what some believe now to be a lack of knowledge and learning that's just more Hollywood crud!

Sorry people labeling the past with the ignorance of the present is a pet peeve of mine I'll shut up now.

Amen Som!

If neon is so unpopular why do the neon dyes sell for so much? And why don't the color removing dyes sell at all?? Just curious.

oooo now THIS is good to hear.

btw.. where are these removal dyes tukaram - I buy them like UO crack hehehe

they were tokuno minors, they completely washed items of their colors, returning them to brown, or silver, depending on if they are leather or iron. But regardless, they make them appear as normal plain colors. Even if you were to do it to an arcane shield, it would appear as an iron tear kite shield..

The "bleach" item that you get from one of the virtue quests does the same thing. Not sure which quest it is though.

ahh, I did not know of this quest, just the pigments of tokuno is what I knew of....

ooo bleach quest

yes, I knew of the tokuno minors - I have a chest full and I'm starting chest #2.

its my UO Crack... I admit it. But I can stop.... whenever *twitches* but... yeah.. I could stop if I wanted.
