Report is a strong word so changed title to Notes. - UOKR releases spring, UOSA releases summer - UOKR is free - UOKR is only a client/graphic upgrade... no new content - UOAssist will NOT work with UOKR - Legacy clients retired when adoption of UOKR is "around 95%" - Will have an updated New Player experience - Beta will be "pretty open" and lots of people should get in - Some shard-specific GM placed objects may not make the UOKR transfer - You can zoom waaay out, but this may not make it into the game - You can also zoom waaay in, but they are going to lock it before the graphics start to look too pixelated - Character sheet will display ALL relevent character data (HCI, LRC, etc) - Backpack is now a window, with items and names listed in rows - You can still drag to and from backpack - They may institute double-clicking items to loot them - Mentioned a Loot All button and people immediately jumped on them... - Classic interface is a maybe - Hotbars are not movable right now, but may be - Planning for 5 total hotbars, maybe more if needed - No more random icons on the screen - Potion in a hotbar will link to the next like potion when used - Paperdoll has a seperate Clothes and Armor tab to make management easier. This does NOT affect the current system or the layering system. - UI Skinning a possibility, but not at release of UOKR - 512MB memory recommended, some success with 256MB - 3D Effects will all have sliders to turn up or down - Targeting is a whirly 3D effect - New spells all looked reminiscent of their former selves... not a disco upgrade - Earth Elementals are HUGE... they throw bolders now? - They are referencing the original design docs of critters as they upgrade - They hope to stick with a Teen rating with new graphics - UO Stygian Abyss is going to be a full content expansion - Gargoyles will be the new race - Gargoyle females will be explained - Gargoyles will do "cool stuff" in the game - Hints that crafters will appreciate this expansion - If anything, the Dev team walked away knowing that people want anything that could possibly be stackable, stackable - Some PvP redirect...
