The Halloween 2007 Test Shard has been published with the following:

- Greater delay between fire attacks by the invading monsters

- Fixed an issue that could cause too many monsters to spawn

- Plants are now affected by the fire as well

- Invading imps will be red instead of green

- Due to their overwhelming deadliness, removed the hostile invading rabbits. Hellcats will spawn instead

- Removed misplaced tile of foliage near the moongate

actually.. that kinda sucks on the plant thing.. means only foliage rubble we'll get will be shades of burnt.. and base color on that stuff is way better than dyed

I played with it a bit on TC, and it does look more consistent. The scorched trees right next to bright happy ferns was a little weird, imo.

Too many monster?
Yeah right... talk about too LESS monsters... way too less

No, like, TOO MANY MONSTERS.

Should try Europa Trammel at the moment - Magincia Isle has about 25 DF's, which at no-prime time makes for an interesting "Retrieve the body Experience".

Although having five dark fathers as my entourage is kinda fun

It would be sweet to see someone lay down an Earthquake spell on that screen. If you could provo a couple rc's on to one of those df's the wither from the DF would kill off at least 8 of em. That would be insane!!!!!!!!!!

Have the GMs make a 999% SDI ring, and let them have 300 Necro and 300 SS, those DF's would be owned in seconds!

would be an awesome war if players could actually compete one on one with that would be awesome both sides slugging it out ala just about any great movie. too bad it would take every player in UO teaming up to hope for any victory but the lag would be immense prolly crash the server. Would be kool watching the armies of light taking on armies of darkness
