Balandar Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Does this include rewards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted July 23, 2001 Author Share Posted July 23, 2001 None of the posts on the boards have said. If you check previous posts, it is said that vet rewards are going to be part of publish 12. I would guess that it will be included. *crosses fingers* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martok Posted July 23, 2001 Author Share Posted July 23, 2001 :argue: Maybe not. No patch, none of the servers were taken down. I guess we have to wait and see what they have to say about this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This system is designed to reduce back-up times by removing unused characters. For deatiled information go to www.uo.com > "Testing For next update" All of the above listed items, should be part of the publish 12. Whenever that may be.. The orginial publish date for this, was July 19th. and that was pushed back.. so i would expect delays. =( -Fuddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balandar Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 It has been pushed back to 6pm CDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraina Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Also I read Vet rewards will be published but not turned on until they know that the rest of the patch is working. Then they will turn rewards on a few shards at a time. Can't find where I read it but it was on the UO boards and Lum's site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuddy Posted July 23, 2001 Share Posted July 23, 2001 Ok, i finally got the "server will be going down shortly" message.. and I think in 3 years playing uo.. ive never been so happy to see that message! lol.. well kids.. *sighs* THIS IS IT! 3 years in concept, and we are FINALLY getting our vet rewards! man.. its been long enough! -Fuddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldren Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Quote from Fuddy, posted on well kids.. *sighs* THIS IS IT! 3 years in concept, and we are FINALLY getting our vet rewards! man.. its been long enough! And apparently it's still not long enough.. was up till 4am (Btw, the only good thing to come of this update was the UNBELIEVABLE reg vendor respawn rate.. it's insane.. bulk reg sellers are out of business as of tonight) and still no server down, patch changes, or modifications to show my account's acctual age. My guess is at least another week or two before vet rewards are up. And I've finally figured it out the pattern... Whenever EA puts the line "Various Fixes for Ultima Online" in the list of updates, accounts are terminated, players are TOTALLY P*#$ED OFF, and nothing EVERY works like it did before.. *thinks of a song he heard before* "Prepatchday" (lyrics and performance by Midas) prepatchday - all the bugs, they seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay oh, I believe in prepatch day suddenly - this is not the game it used to be there's a skill nerf hanging over me oh, damn patch day came suddenly why lag had to grow, I don't know - they wouldn't say skill gains very wrong, now I long for prepatchday prepatchday - "this is such a killer game", I'd say now I need a private shard to play oh, I believe in prepatch day Based upon, with the utmost respect for and apologies to: "Yesterday" - The Beatles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraina Posted July 24, 2001 Share Posted July 24, 2001 Okay I found this on UOMain, it was posted July 16th. Publish 12 Update Jul 16 2001 6:37PM Since activating Publish 12 on the Chesapeake shard in late June, we have been monitoring the shard closely, and we are targeting to release the final week of the event scenario publish to the Chesapeake shard on Tuesday, July 17th. Once it is determined that there are no unforeseen issues involving the final week of the Savage Empire scenario and Publish 12, a schedule will be set for the release of Publish 12 to the other shards. Publish 12, which includes the veteran rewards system, is our highest priority, and we hope to see it released to all shards soon. We are looking to roll out Publish 12 to all shards by late next week, but please understand that due to testing considerations and time-sensitive problems that may arise, all schedules may be subject to change. A list of the changes included in this publish can be found in Testing for the Next Update. Considering the complexities of the rewards system, we will wait until all public shards have received Publish 12 before the veteran rewards system will be activated. Once all shards are running Publish 12, and we are confident that the veteran rewards system is functioning properly, we will begin to activate veteran rewards systematically on pre-determined shards. Please note that this means that players will not be able to choose rewards immediately once the publish is received. We are working to see that this delay will be as short as possible, and we appreciate your patience. Now so far from what I can see only the USA has been had the publish. I may be wrong about that though. But looks to me like we have to wait for all the shards to be published and then SLOWLY one shard at a time they will turn on vet rewards. So hmm, go back to sleep, no rewards for a week or two or three or ...................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
