Producer's Letter - Changes

[Ian James]

Hey guys, I didn't see this posted here, so I thought I would. Found it in my twitter feed today:

EA has outsourced UO to a company called Broadsword.

[Adrianas]

That is most interesting, but not a complete surprise.  I have many other thoughts about it that wouldn't translate well into text here.  But I suspect it's actually quite a good thing.

[Tjalle]

Interesting indeed.

[Ian James]

Well it can't get much worse.  Seems like they are looking towards making actual improvements

[Frost]

And Broadsword is UK based, which is probably a good thing....

[a ghoul]

Very interesting, hope you they keep the siege server in VA. I love my 30 and below ping

[Tazar]

You are thinking of Broadsword Interactive.  This is Broadsword Online.  It seems to have been just created by Rob Denton of old Mythic Fame and only holds UO and DAOC.

[Wolfman]

Very interesting, hope you they keep the siege server in VA. I love my 30 and below ping

And still you cannot kill a damn thing,....?

*grumbles as he kicks an innocent mongbat* Hehe I never implied that ping helps me kill anyone...but I sure do get around quickly. My day will come all the evil doers of Sosaria shall fear my name! Okay maybe now I am dreaming 

[Grenuille]

I wholeheartedly agree, Frost.

[Tazar]

I wholeheartedly agree, Frost.

It is not Broadsword Interactive... it is Broadsword Online.  Newly created in Virginia, USA.  Whether that is good or not we shall see.

Well hopefully they are liking my spiffy purple shoes.

Dangit Troop, and I'm sayin' this with   a grin - (don't forget that christmas love I gave your luna home deco on stratics), but - I just gotta ask: sup with those purple shoes bro   ?  

There's gotta be a story there... so out with it!  I mean Tazar's, a ghoul's, Wolfman's and my avatars are pretty self-explanatory... (mine represents absentmindedness and inattention to detail for example)... But purple tennis shoes?  **Wishes Hoffs were here for this conversation**  I think I'll start a new thread:   Tell us your secrets, share your stories - it would be interesting to see who takes the bait.... hehehehe

[Volundr]

Looks promising.
