We'll have a fix for the buggy boat very soon Welcome to Pandora!

Just so everyone knows, I didn't just make this topic and forgot about it, I've read every reply made each day since it was started and opted to receive emails when you do reply!

I can't exactly reply to everyone's ideas or I'd have no time left to write them up and implement them, lol.

I am extremely happy with the feedback, everyone has had valuable input so far and I have been making subtle changes and writing up some of the changes to incorporate into the next patch, which should be along very soon. (no long wait time like the last substantial patch - we have a solid framework in place now compared to pre-publish 40.0)

Please keep the feedback coming, every opinion is valued, this is a democracy (to a certain extent, haha).

I'd advise caution when considering adding more armor and weapons. This will further damage a crafting economy that has already been weakened by Imbuing.

Why don't you suggest something that would then strengthen crafting and make it better?

We're looking for your community input for new content on Pandora!

But first, I have a suggestion myself which I would like you to discuss...

The item count on Pandora is getting quite high, a lot of this stuff is hoarded items, but some people just can't part with their spare dagger or longsword these days, so I'm going to target the second biggest cause of loose items by introducing a new command that allows you to sacrifice monster corpses using the trash system, meaning you will get tokens for removing these extra corpses.

All you have to do is use [Sac - any corpses in an 8 pace range will be checked and will be treated as a container by the trash system, processing all of the items.
Any items that can't be trashed, like bandages and gold, will be placed in your pack.
Only corpses that have been dead for at least 5 minutes, and you have full looting rights for, will be included in the sacrifice.

This is not set in stone, it's a suggestion based on the need to reduce our item count.

What makes the game more interesting for you?

Do you want more things like the fun throwable items?
The Stink Bombs, Haunted Momento, etc?

How about convenience items?
What do you find to be a great inconvenience when playing?
We're not looking for bug reports and such, more of things to do with reducing the amount of time you spend grinding something that just isn't fun?
Of course things like stat and skill training can't be changed, but maybe there's a way to make it more fun?
How about other small convenience items like the Broadcast Scrolls you can get?

Winter's coming and the Pandora Winterfest will be warming up soon, but the traders don't know what to sell, so they've asked me to do a market survey to find out what the most popular Ultima toys are this year. So, what do you suggest for Winterfest?

PvP Battles and PvP Coins.
We'd like to see the battles become one of the gems of Pandora, but safe PvP doesn't attract many eager heroes without rewards, sure you have PvP Coins, but the traders have not yet show face. I think it's high time we brought them in.
We want to offer pure PvP-based rewards, armor, weapons, potions, anything that you can thinkof that would both benefit PvP'ers and keep the balance.
We're looking for suggestions about full armor sets with bonuses, we'd like to find out what you deem the most important attributes that PvP armor and weapons can yield, while showing us what you think is more geared towards PvE/PvM.
The seasonal reward for the PvP battles, the Battle Necklace, will always be unique to each seasons' winner.

We also want to offer more battle scenarios, we currently have active Team-Death-Match and Free-For-All battles, but we'd like to extend that list to Capture-The-Flag, Bomberman, Counter-Strike, etc. Any kind of PvP scenario ideas are welcome!

If you have input on anything else, feel free to comment.
Don't comment about loot drops or rates, buffing or nerfing bosses or bugs - we'll cover that stuff another time, another place on these forums.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Confused me too, I thought using the Begging skill worked on vendors too?

Begging or saying "Trick or Treat" to a vendor during Halloween (up to the 15th Nov.) will get you a surprise.

Sometimes the players are more knowledgeable than the staff, just as well too because I haven't been here for as long as some so it's nice to be able to learn these things from players in my position, thanks

Now that you explained it though, it seems far too complex, it could be easier, so I might modify it, make it easier and more clear.

I'm not even sure what he means by "red stone", last time I heard that it was used for connecting power supplies to devices in Minecraft

True, that's called "supply and demand", if a vendor runs out of stock fast enough it will restock more of the item. The stock bonus will reduce when the vendor finds the demand has dropped.

There is no need to increase vendor stock to 999, it adds extra items internally that can't be accessed because they are stock items. With 100,000+ vendors in the world, we can't really afford to take the hit because of lack of patience. The restock time isn't that long anyway and tthere's plenty of other ways to gather regs.

Begging isn't useless, you can use it on any vendor during Halloween to get a treat (You still have until the 15th to do this)

Aside from skill grinding, you'll find plenty of content to cover to keep you busy. Enjoy your stay

Hahaha
