Title: Pandora Expansion: The High Seas [publish 23]
Post by: Xeen on July 04, 2011, 10:50:28 PM
First off, let me say THANK YOU to everyone on Pandora for making this happen.  The insight I collected from you was critical in making this a success.

As some of you know, this update has been my labor of love, and by far the largest undertaking I have gone through to date.  After several months of non-stop work, I am finally ready to release.

As with any publish, please bare with us as things can happen.  Please report all bugs using the new bug stone located around Pandora or email them to me at [email protected].

Please, please, please do not patch your current client up to the new high seas.  Instead, install a new client to play with.

Without further adieu, I bring you the future of Pandora... first with Stygian, now first with High Seas....

Regarding Staff

 our volunteers.  Rest assured, staff abilities have been limited to ensure that no staff member can become corrupt and cause damage to our ecosystem.

   - The Sea Wyrm has entered our realm.  Comparable to its cousin, the Ancient Wyrm, this creature makes a wonderful companion because of its unique ability to swim.  He is quite cunning and takes 117 taming to control as well as four open slots.
   - The Shimmering Sea Serpent has entered our realm.  Found in the Twisted Weald River, this beast is related to the shimmering hiryu, carrying all of its strengths but gains the ability to swim through the sea. Only a legendary tamer should attempt to tame it.

Some special thanks go out to
Lilith - You are the best world designer and staff member we could ask for.  Without you, we would be sunk.  Thank you for you flexibility!
Galron - Your long-lasting commitment to this server and the new players that populate was great motivation to me throughout this work.  Thank you, and let your commitment to our young players never fail!
Coeur de saignem and Myaku of L|D - The insight gained from you was priceless throughout the development process.  Thank you for your continued support of this community.
Councy Gwinlin - You are the BEST support we could ask for.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Last, but certainly not least, King Konstantine -- You are the best partner I could ask for.  Your support and assistance was crucial from day one, and without you we (quite literally) wouldn't be here.

Good work guys, sounds like a lot of work gone into this update.

Just one question though- why have you stopped the enhanced version working?
Title: Re: Pandora Expansion: The High Seas [publish 23]
Post by: Hollenbach on July 05, 2011, 09:47:59 AM
OK,

So I patched up to the end (7.0.15.1) or whatever it is, and when I tried to log on it just stayed at the Verifying Account screen.  After numerous attempts, I re-downloaded UO from the pandora website (with 7.0.15 included) and re installed razor.  Now, nothing... I cant log in. Razor crashes every time and it still just stays on the verifying account page.   any suggestions??

I had the same problem,
the solution for me was to disable firewall blocking for new installed client (7.0.15.1).

"Grandfathering" indicates that because you were already allowed to have 5 accounts, the rule will not change for you.  If you did not already have 5 accounts at the time of this change, you will not be able to create over 3 accounts per household without special permission of King Konstantine.

First, thanks for the list, very useful.

concerning spawns:

I mentioned it before, but got no answer that would help: Are the "bound souls" supposed to be in the Underworld Dungeon? They fill whole rooms and if they come in groups (what they do), it's not really possible to survive without some trouble. I ask, because I don't know if it is intended like that. Not really a bug, but a problem.
Also I noticed, that the undead mobs like Liches or Spectres, Skeletons etc. don't spawn in the Underworld Mausoleum (next to the banker, where the Blood Elementals are gone, too) anymore. There are Guardians now, like in Tomb of Kings.

And as we speak about Tomb of Kings:
Niporailem is there and he works, effectively. Also his Spectral Armor Beasts seem to work. But I've got a question concerning his loot: It's not very hard to kill him, but with the spectral armors and his ability to throw fake and heavy gold in your backpack, it's a matter of time. I ask myself if Niporailem's loot isn't a bit poor? He drops nothing of interest, even Gargoyle Shades drop better stuff.
Is this supposed to be like that?

(Posted it here, because I don't think these are real bugs...)
