May 2010 - Producer's Letter
Posted on UO Herald by Calvin Crowner
I’m often at a loss on how to begin
updates …
So how about we make what we called
in the Air Force a “sandwich…” I won’t say what KIND of sandwich
we called it … but we press basically good information between
the not so good stuff.
First,
Publish 66 is out the door, and by
the time you read this, we should have a few changes that will address
the issues with pitchers, bards not being interrupted by Pally’s,
the Bard book in the paperdoll, and a few other things you’ve helped
us find. We appreciate players actually getting on test center and taking
a look before we go to Origin. (Yes not Origins!) J
Also, we hope you are enjoying the
attention to the Enhanced Client, as well as delivering on the Memorial
Engraving Tool. We thought getting this out before Memorial Day in the
U.S. would be appropriate.
We got a lot of work done this publish,
however we didn’t have all the time we needed to get out all we planned
… so we are planning an additional mini-66 before July.
Most of it will be a large client update. Derek and Grimm should have
an idea on the size of the change in the next couple weeks.
The patch will have some additional
art updates, as well as some juicy additions to the Live story arc we
could not fit into this publish. Given that, this is a great time to
discuss the fiction gaps and our intent.
