Policy change regarding items & mobiles

Dear Community,

many of you heard it already but iam back working on a huge list of upcoming updates. Within the process again there are a lot of items, that were now solved by the provider (servuo) but previously coded by staff members of our past. Sometimes our code and the way how we store such objects is similar, sometimes total different.

In the past i always tried to find a solution, how our code base could convert items we no longer want in our system into new items. Doing such task means i have to clone the object and develop a way to clean copy and convert values from our old files to new files. We go this way because we want that the provider offers us the latest updates instead of us. Sometimes its almost impossible to convert those object and a simple looking will force me to spend between a couple of hours up to a couple of days. Due the planned upcoming update (still in process of merging\sync\rewriting) about 500 objects appeared to require either being converted or being deleted. So in a worst case it will take me a half year to year to convert all those objects clean. Neither me or our community want to wait this long time, so i want to change our policy for future, how we will handle such issues.



I will delete them all and not let any of them alive!! :p:p



Jokes aside, iam currently in a process of writing a concept how we will handle such cases in future. We will delete old unwanted object but also provide a solution when certain factors are given :


  • Player owned Items being unique [x]


  • Player owned Items being generic (Runic Craft, Looted)


  • Player owned Mobiles [x]


  • Wild Mobiles

  • Wild Items

Object marked with [x] will be objects we as staff will provide a converter solution in future that will allow player with own interactions to convert items they want to be alive. If they are items we want to get out of our system because of balance, we will provide a way to reward the active exchange. The process will be as followed :




  1. Internal preparation to convert or reward for removing certain objects. They will be marked as "Deprecated". So they will be clearly visible & might be findable via easyuo scripts (maybe someone provides a scanner script? ;-))


  2. Public announcement together with a patch that allows to convert object into "Converter Deeds" with a deadline of atleast 4 weeks.

  3. Internal preparation to delete all items after next patch.

  4. Public announcement...

2017 - Its a New Year!

Well i just wanted to jump on and tell everyone Happy New Year!  I know it is a couple days late, but at least i did it!  Anyways, thank you one and all for your game play in 2016.  It was definitely an eventful year on the Staff side of things keeping everything running.  We were able to take in quite a few donations to help keep the server running, which we always appreciate.  We were able to fix quite a few bugs and introduce our RebirthUO 2.0 .  That was a big undertaking by Pure and he has even more to come here in 2017. 



We have a lot on our plate come this year and we just want to let everyone know that we hear you, we read the comments, we try to keep up, but it is still a bunch of time outside our normal schedules to keep up with all the changes that need to happen.  We thank you for being patient with us because it can get very frustrating when you do not see a change happen quickly or sometimes a change that happens too quickly.  We are doing our best to keep within the core of ServUO while also giving you custom content, events and items. This is hard to make sure that when we do this that we don't break core items.  So Pure has been doing a great job of tracking merge changes and keeping us up to date with the ServUO core.  Sometimes a bug or two pop up, but this is also why it has been a slow process in getting things changed or bugs fixed. 



When ServUO is active it can see hundreds of merge changes to the core.  Those are merge changes outside of what we do and we have to make sure the core is always compatible.  So it may seem like we do not hear you, but we do.  We just don't always have our legs under our feet in order to get running with it.



As always we love our player base and we love you all.  Thank you for giving us your time.  We understand the frustration as we are players of UO ourselves. 



Also a big Thank You needs to go out to Trailmyx.  He has been able to keep things running while Pure and I seem to vanish sometimes. Without his support we would not be where we are today.  Make sure you give him a big thanks for the Halloween Event. 



Thank you Everyone!

Halloween 2016

[FADE IN, RANDOM OSI SHARD]



Fizban attempts what seems like his 1,000,000th Trick-or-Treat attempt.  I guess he should have thought to raise begging first.

After a full day of wandering aimlessly from vender to vender, Fizban decides to call it an evening.  He sat sleepily in a chair next to the bed, just too tired to even think about getting up and moving to the bed.  His eyes drooped as sleep assaulted him.

A strange sensation envelopes you as you realize you're no longer in the same land.  "What, where's my red robes?"  This looks like Blackthorn Castle, but there's something menacingly evil going on.  Plus the banker is a Balron, so that's different.



Ah, Quest givers!  They are asking for some pretty creepy things, but heck this is a dream.



Hey what's this?

[Evil sounds......]

Wait? What's that?

Wow, free resurrection and corpse acquisition!  Neat!

The server will be shut down and not available until further communication via forum\facebook\website.

The maintenance will take up to 2.5 hours and will be rebooted together with a changelog.

A list of changes can be found here : https://github.com/ServUO/ServUO/commits/master

Sincerly
