Agreed. Sounds like contrary to popular belief, EA is making an effort to listen to the customer.

Well...
Perhaps I was a bit miffed because I had high hopes about getting some SA info in this thread.
Perhaps I was a bit selfish because none of the info *I* wanted to hear got covered.
Perhaps I am still pissed because they still have not announced anything decent about SA or coming expansions.
Perhaps I still expect the standard to be set high and demand a whole slice of bread instead of a few crums that would keep most people happy.
But then...
Perhaps I'm wrong.

I would love to see some animations of exploding houses though!
Would be even better if when a house would explode with a scripter inside, the scripter would be perma-dead!

Then the bodyparts of the scripting character would be instantly teleported to Umbra and locked down on a pile with a decay time of one week.
Heh, would be the ultimate method to measure EA's scripter smackdown. The higher the pile, the more scripters went kaboom!
*imagines*

Agreed, they evidently did speak a lot, however it was not what I, myself, expected. Surely secrets are good for a game to keep other games from copying it before it is implimented or abuse of the game dynamics, but I feel I know less and less of what the future brings here. The developers seem like extremely nice people that easily fit in with the crowd, but that's not my concern at the moment. I want to atleast feel the aspects of the game I enjoy is still moving forward.

On another note I really like that they are motivated to removing fragments and "dead" npc's from earlier quests. Although. for other mmorpg's this would be mandatory I could mention. Alas UO was the first so I understand the amount is not comparable.

Yes, banning the account of cheaters or something similar. Cool decision to burn the houses in stead of just making them disappaer

Sorry to sound like the voice of doom and gloom.

That chat contains really no *future proofing* of UO - talking of removing age old bugs? destroying cheater's houses?

Sorry to be the cynic but wow I am impressed [not]

These are things which should have been done already and looking to move forward [aka Stygian Abyss for example].

Yes the devs are great people and UO is still *potentially* a great game but it has to move with the times and offer a more immersive playing experience, new content, better graphics, less bugs, more pvp fixes, more fun

EA - are you listening?

Make a sexy new client and you will get 1000s of players coming home - by sexy go look at the market leader's and get the hint

I love UO but I just cant bear to look at it on my screen anymore. =/

Expansion details are never going to be announced in a UOHOC, it is always a press release.
