News from Ultima Online producer Bonnie Armstrong this week is that Publish 81 has been pushed to TC1. And if you read that and thought “hey, that seems early”, well…you’d be right:

Please understand this was put on TC1 over a month ahead of a normal publish because the changes are so extensive that we wanted your feedback. We appreciate your constructive feedback as to why you like or dislike the changes to Armor and Weapons.

We have no intentions of releasing these changes to production as they are. Right now we are compiling your feedback that is on Stratics and from the feedback emails. We expect to make several changes before this is actually released to all shards.

As well, another Ask & Answer has been posted. The High Seas booster pack seems to have been on a few peoples’ minds over the last little while, judging from some of the questions posed.
