I've missed a lot over the last few months. I have a new internet connection on the way,and I'm trying to catch up before I start logging in again, but I'm a little lost so I have a few questions.

1) can we use razor and other 3rd party programs that encryption prevented with the old client?

2) Are vamp race abilties going to come back?

3)Will my vamp be bale to stay a vamp, because now he's some kind of odd warrior that cant use a bow.

4) What is the healing system like now, and how do stats play into the delay

5) Can I make a bard who can teleport to safe spots to play music?

6)are enchanted weapons going to come back

7) Are boats working, if not, will they be?

are the lost lands going to be opened up?

9) Are stat and skill caps the same, and are they maintained the same way?

I have a ton more questions, but this will do for now.

1) can we use razor and other 3rd party programs that encryption prevented with the old client?
I think Razor only works for Run UO but if you can find a way to use it, im pretty sure its ok.

2) Are vamp race abilties going to come back?
Yea there working on new abilitys to "balance" the races with humans.

3)Will my vamp be bale to stay a vamp, because now he's some kind of odd warrior that cant use a bow.
If you decide to stay a Vamp yea staff are not forcing people to change races. Also you can use heavy cross bows..

4) What is the healing system like now, and how do stats play into the delay.
Healing System has a long delay i think like 13 secounds. but the higher the stats the faster it is.

5) Can I make a bard who can teleport to safe spots to play music?
Skills are a little messed up but yea you can.

6)are enchanted weapons going to come back
Probley Not.

7) Are boats working, if not, will they be?
Boats are working but i dont think players can own them.

8)are the lost lands going to be opened up?
Delecia probley wont be opened. But echo is making new places like tree top city.

9) Are stat and skill caps the same, and are they maintained the same way?
Yes there the same. But people droped stats cause there stats where over 176. New script was put in everyone over that would drop -100 in that skill.

if the games sees this equation-

176<stat

the game does this equation-

stat-100



stat being one particular stat

I've heard roomers of that system being in place years ago. I don't think it's new to this set of patches or client. Back then it was a bug and only showed itself after a world save...maybe now it's intentional?

I believe there is another issue with if you were polymorped on a worldsave before the patch, your stats screwed up as well. Also, say you were wearing armor that decreased your INT, that decreased INT also becomes permanent.

Im acually not sure that thats intended, but if it is then I say thats more fair, maybe even take limit use on normal Xbows too?

1) can we use razor and other 3rd party programs that encryption prevented with the old client?

Broadband is still pretty strict on no 3rd party programs, which is part of the reason we still use a patcher/protection system.

I have the personal opinion that you can use things that don't give you an in-game advantage, but that's just me.

Basically a good rule of thumb to go by is:

If you cheat or use programs that give you an advantage, you will get caught. IF are unsure if it's cheating, it probably is.

But again, these are my opinions, and broadband's word is law, so if he overrules this, go by what he says.

2) Are vamp race abilties going to come back?

Yes, races are getting new abilities, as well as quite a nice facelift. But that's low on the list, due to how much extensive work it is going to take. It won't be quite as simple as the old race abilities were, and nowhere near as incomplete.

3)Will my vamp be bale to stay a vamp, because now he's some kind of odd warrior that cant use a bow.

No one is forcing you to stay a vampire, but if you choose to stay a non-human character, you need to pick a class. You can find more information under the shard manual section of the forums, i believe.

What is the healing system like now, and how do stats play into the delay

Check the news, I am pretty sure i outlined it all there. Reading up on the old news you missed should answer most other questions you have, but if not post and i'll do what i can.

5) Can I make a bard who can teleport to safe spots to play music?

Bards are going to be awesome, when they're finished. But like races, putting in the bard skills is going to be a big job if we do it as intricate as has currently been suggested, so don't expect them for awhile.

6)are enchanted weapons going to come back

Maybe. Most of the races haven't been completed in design yet, so i won't say for sure it's not going to happen. But they won't be near as (over)powerful as they used to be.

7) Are boats working, if not, will they be?

Up in the air, as is the new lands. Obsidian has primarily been a reniassance shard, and boats add some dimensions we aren't currently balanced for.

That being said, a few good ideas for things to do with boats have been suggested, and farther down the line we may implement some or all of them. Just too many other things to worry about currently to discuss it just yet.

Hope that gets all of them

thank you Bob. Lots of good things to look forward to.

yeah bob deserves our thanks the dude busts his ass for obsi.

hate to one bringing up bad things But got a question, Obsidiain have been moved to another server with a lower bandwitdh? Or if its because its beta that causes obsidian to lag as much as it does for me ><

Cant run with my character, goes about as quick as if i would walk.. kinda annoying but i can live with it i guess. Just wanna know whats causing it? Cos it aint me, ive turned of all internet related applications on my comp and still experience as much lag ingame.
