UO Second Age

Any unofficial tentative time line for when silver rewards will be altered/updated?

Not as of yet. We are still discussing the revisions internally.

We've finished revising the list internally. Kaivan dropped a last minute "bombshell" that needs to be addressed before he feels comfortable with it being rolled out. Hoping that we can overcome this next week and go live with the list then.

The overall change to the silver system is going to be rolled out in two phases it seems.
Phase 1 - new items on the list, with a few former items having a price adjustment
Phase 2 - additional changes to existing items on the list (mainly items the 100 silver and under brackets)

All of this is ready to go live as of now, but there has been some internal debate on when the "Phase 2" changes should be done. I was expecting to do this all in one go, but apparently that's not a shared opinion on the manner.

Is the bombshell that Derrick won't PM JoshuaLee?

That would be sweet, I've got stacks of fireworks wands.

I would think not. Mainly because that would be a silver reward that interferes with "normal gameplay" and offers a way to add non-era mechanics to the game on an on-going basis.

Item bless deeds are era accurate.

These should be in the new system as they are era accurate non currently exist. Say 2000 silver??

While they are era accurate, they don't provide any sort of protection from breaking.

Beyond that, we will not be adding in item bless deeds to the silver system.

The silver system seems like the perfect place to release the IBD's. Care to expand on that comment Kaivan?

What are the other options? Scratch tickets on holidays/holiday giveaway?

Why not emulate CUB as close as possible and make them something you have to work your ass off to get.

Simply put we don't want them out there in the frequency that they would be available at via the silver turn in system. Regardless of any pragmatic cost associated with it, the eventual result will be many more of them out there than we want.

I figured between the high cost and the wear/breaking of the item you wouldn't see a whole lot going around at any given time. Also limiting the amount of IBD's available in a month would eliminate any worry of having truck loads floating around.

The item obviously needs to be handled with great care if its going to be released at all. If everyone and their dog had one it would be a travesty.

Silver system or not, I hope we see these introduced soon.

I can't tell you if or when they will be released to the server, but they won't be released via the silver system.

Kaivan where are our unique rewards via the silver system?

Wasn't there something on UOSA wiki about how Item Bless Deeds were not on the shard, and that they were most likely not going to be available here? I swear I remember seeing that.

I dont like the idea of them being on the silver rewards either, a small handful of players (the same few) will have the silver necessary. And eventually the amount of people with them will increase drastically creating a HUGE gap in item based pvp or playstyle.

Offtopic: More era accurate house spots would be the most kickass EA change this shard could have
