Tailoring machines - Testing

[+Arden]

Looking for a few active people to test out the new Tailoring machines for producing, bolts of cloth and spools of thread, also a new hireable "pet" system. If you would like to participate please leave your ingame name in this thread.

If we cannot have wheels to craft with I do not see tailoring machines as maintaining a UO environment.

It's a freeshard. The "environment" is what +Coli wants.

[culichi]

id like to test both or either

It's an Ultima Online free shard. That's the point/ There are lot of games out there and players come here to play what they know as UO. custom stuff can be great but what would a Renaissance fair be with laptops on the bar and jousting with rifles?

I believe they call that Post Modern Steampunk.
Either way, anything that makes the tedious stuff easier( meaning less clicks or time standing around waiting for macros to finish) is ok in my book. I also dont see too many people complaining about the modern appliances that are available in the deco room. Enjoy the game and if ya dont like something then find a way to do it that you enjoy.

You raise a good point Tufi. I always found the spinning of the wheels soothing. Used to use 6 of them in rotation and the brief pause before the macro spun the wheel again was hypnotic as it jumped from wheel to wheel. To me it's part of the nostalgia of the classic UO game. Take too much of the original UO look and feel away and many, including myself will move on. I'm among those that are here to relive and continue their classic UO game experiences.

Kara, you are correct, this is Colibri's computer we're all connecting to and playing on. But both sides have a choice; Either one becoming deaf to the other can lead to problems. Perhaps Colibri has listened and decided those enticed by an enhanced UO environment outweigh those who enjoy the classic game interface. I like to think he understands the trade offs and is setting up the UOEX shard for a second decade of player enjoyment.

GreenBar, ABSOLUTELY GOT IT! Liked weaving too as it was a bit quicker after the spinning but still soothing in a meditative way. I loved UO and that's why I am here. I agree as in West Side Story "Somewhere".

In general I have found both +Colibri and +Arden very attentive to things I have said to them. I think some of the problem is they are swamped with this complicated new thing they are working on and though they have noted the little things, it will be awhile until they get some attention unless it fits in to what they are doing now.

I would hate to leave, but our home is being renovated and the results will be interesting. This also may have to do with the bottom line. As with anything else they will look to see what kind of players are donating the most which I am sure influences their decisions.
