Dreams of Julia

By EM Malachi

Many years ago…

Halston Montil looked down the edge of his blade at the large troll in front of him. The Royal
Guard investigator had chased the leader of the Followers of Armageddon across half the
continent, only to arrive later than the angry troll who had been tricked into attacking Britannia.
Montil knew that his warriors could deal with the creature, but not without risking the two
innocents whom the cultist was hiding behind.  “Troll, if you threaten us no more, you are free to go.”

“No! Brother Killer must die!”

One of the hostages, a woman in a simple orange dress, tried to explain to the troll that the
guard would stop the murderer and Justice would be served. The troll was beyond reason.
G’thunk brought his huge club down on the entire trio, but Julia interceded to shield the other
hostage, her small frame taking the brunt of the blow.

The Royal Guard didn’t hesitate and moved in. Half the group arrested and secured the cabal
leader, while the remaining moved against the troll. The creature did not go down easily, and
even as the troll lay dying, G’thunk crawled toward his target, screaming “Brother Killer!” Montil
was half tempted to let the troll have the human murderer.

The threats abated, he turned his attention to the injured. The other hostage, the mage Mariah,
cradled the dying woman in her arms and tried to focus mana through a root of ginseng she had
torn from the ground. The guardsman recognized the healing spell, but knew from Julia’s pallor,
it wouldn’t be enough.

The dreams of a reformed pirate…

The air was cold in the forest, and wind blew fog from a river to the west. Jasir pulled his cloak
close and followed the path to the shrine. A woman was picking through the rubble there. She
was pale, except for a mane of red hair. As he approached, she looked up and spoke, “Ancient
Sosarians used to mix animal bone into the iron for swords. They believed it would imbue the
bear’s strength or wolf’s ferocity.”

“Did it work?”“

As much as anything does.” Julia stooped down and ran a hand over the gold inlay of the tear
drop. “The children who helped me pan for this gold grew into Minoc’s people: miners, soldiers,
and crafters. With all the strife, how many of them have bled for our way of life? How many
more will be lost?” She began to cry.

“What always is: Sacrifice.”

Question & Answer

1.   Can we have some new dye colors?

Yes, we have a few colors made up that we will be releasing in the coming months.

2.   Will we ever be able to see an item count for a vendors backpack?

Bleak is going to look into being able to add this feature to the classic client.

3.  Can you look at updating PvP to make other templates more viable and at balancing shatter potions?

We look forward to community discussion on the best way to add variability to PvP templates and additional balancing changes.  We encourage everyone to take part in the discussion on the UO Forums.

4.  There are often issues with pets during events where they sometimes get stuck in bottlenecks.  Can we allow them to push through in Trammel?

We would have to investigate the full impact of this change, but it’s something that is now on our radar.  Look for updates as we work to implement this feature.

5.  Can you consider adding potions of transmogrification for other equipment slots?

We’ve seen a tremendous amount of excitement about the potion coming to the Ultima Store!  We build the system so we could expand functionality to future potions and will monitor how this first release goes and plan for future equipment slots.

Sovereign Coin Codes that have been redeemed are bound to the EA Account they were redeemed on and are only usable by the accounts linked with that EA Account; Sovereign Coin currency may not be transferred.

If you are having issues with your EA Origin purchase, follow this link to resolve the issue.

CODE PURCHASE DELAY
You may have noticed that Origin Store purchases made did not arrived as expected. The Origin Store enacts reviews on all transactions to safeguard against fraudulent purchases, and these reviews may take up to 72 hours. Unfortunately our Billing department is not able to expedite or circumvent this process. However, players who have questions or concerns regarding a store purchase can contact Origin Support for assistance using the below steps:

THIRD PARTY RESELLERS
We would also like to reiterate that the Origin store is the only guaranteed provider of codes for Ultima Online. The validity of a code purchased from a third-party seller (be it a friend, in-game acquaintance, or recommended site) cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, any codes we find to have be fraudulently obtained will be disabled and an account that applies any of these codes will have that code removed from said account. This can result in the loss of game time, character slots, expansion access, Sovereigns (and the items purchased with them), in-game items and more. Please be advised that we cannot assist with any issues stemming from codes purchased via non-Origin means; you will be required to contact the vendor from which you purchased the code for further assistance.
