Road map for 1st quarter of next year?

Something anything? 

Working on NL. If not complete in 3 or so months, a dynamic spawn and dungeon event. Kinda like it has been for 5 years.

High seas event with new sea creatures and pirate loot 

or add the new died fish art to the skeletons  😂

Do they need a Q1 road map when nothing is planned to be released?

I honestly can't remember the last time there was an event of any kind Jan/Feb or first half of March. I think the black market arc (5ish years ago?) might have been the last time we had anything before the last week of March. Q1 will probably be full focus on NL but even then, based on the frequency of their NL updates up to this point, I wouldn't get my hopes up on an update.

People really still believe in NL?

I recall several years ago they gave us a full year roadmap (a lot of it had to do with pirating and such) and it was great. They made images to go with it too. It gave me a really positive feeling about the game for a whole year.

It really goes a long way when people aren’t kept in the dark with what is going on. We barely ever hear from the team about what the future holds now which results in a lot of speculation (which often leads to negative bickering amongst players) and even turns into a negative view of the team and the game in general. It doesn’t have to be this way. I mean, bringing back the monthly newsletters would be a step in the right direction, in my opinion. 

Yea I really enjoyed that road map of the pirating stuff so we kinda knew when new stuff was coming out. We've gone the total opposite direction since then with less and less details on what to expect...and to your point we don't even get a monthly newsletter anymore. Very unfortunate.

This  is spot on.

I just want them to finish New Legacy. It looks very promising and could breathe some fresh air into the community. Excited to see what they do with it, but skeptic at the same time.

We are in need of an update of NLS status and events for 2023. 

I really really hope they will announce that they have decided at last to stop wasting BS limited resources on New Lunacy.

It just takes so little effort for any of the developers to drop a comment..

Yup, it takes zero effort, they already implied "nothing" is planned at this time  😂

*wonders if maybe the website being down... means that they might be adding to the wiki*

You don't have to take down a website to add to make changes.

Just incase devs forgot how a map could look like.

Deeper in, its not just about a heads up of what i comming, but its also about having faith in the game and the future. On the marketing side its a great display to attract players.
Now, we dont need that many events, espesially of the temporarily sort like dynamic events/champ spawn, but also permanent stuff can be added to the roadmap ahead. On a sidenote, why dont we see the EM events listed like this? Its a great display and adds story to it (might be a problem due to each shard has its own unique event-arch though)

Long story short: We need a roadmap, and more interaction/marketting. (I mean, is New Legacy comming in early 2023? its a shame if it is, cause theres no marketting at all, what happend to the youtube sessions? other types of marketing such as social media for NL.

Give us faith, and lets all play UO for the next 20 years.

This so much this...

You all know exactly what the roadmap for the entirety of 2023 is:
ToT Easter->End of Summer
ToT Oct-> End of Year
Boring, lazy, status quo.
Devs ignore UO in favor of full time New Game development which is an inevitable flop.
No new content (again).
More players quit.

New legacy.  Like I stated in the first reply to this thread.

Dates may not be accurate but this is what we will have until NL is out.  AKA the Biggest and Boldest, introduced 6 years ago.

The reason we got the Last extensive road map that was shown above (Rising Tide) is because that part of UO was already created and they told us at the 20th Anniversary that they will work on New Legacy until it is complete.

It is not complete so there is no reason to tell us it is not complete because we all know that.

They also created the Dynamic Dungeons, Spawns, and Quests to have easy to add things until NL is complete. They can also pass pictures of those off as roadmaps for the simpleminded as they also did above. (Black Gate)

The Devs have chosen to work on NL without internet distractions or coming here to waste their time telling us it is not complete yet.

You can get all the info given about NL here:

Road map for the 1st quarter of next year? That's funny! This group of stooges can't even figure out what they are going to do next WEEK, much less 3-4 months from now. They are more concerned keeping the RMT people in the game than doing their jobs! 

The likely reason we won't see any road map is because the Dev team has had a hard time hitting delivery dates the last couple years (most notably for NL). I think it goes without saying that when delivery dates are published and those dates are missed it makes them look bad so their solution to that is withholding the information and release stuff as they finish it. IIRC those published event dates for Black Gate / Forest of Dark / etc were even a little messy with the events starting like 2 or 3 weeks into the month and there was one event I remember had a start of like "April" that was started on like the second to last day of the month.

I do think that until NL is finished we will just get the same cookie cutter dynamic events which would be acceptable to me if we could get at least 3 chains a year (would include all 3 dynamic quest/champ spawn/treasures). I'd even settle for 2 dynamic chains a year with some older town invasion type events sprinkled in (it was a shame that we only got 1 dynamic champ spawn in 2022). Unfortunately it seems like we started seeing less "new" content with just super extended timelines of planned content (ie "Spring" Fever went into the first week of July and Halloween ToT went until a couple days ago) because it's less road mapping needed.

“Well they definitely aren’t playing the game.

Or I would love to know how they are dealing with being nerve striked 50 times a day without a debuff playing against players who do not suffer such bugs. They must just all be brilliant at gaming to play with all the bug handicaps that only apply to broadsword clients.

they should post some vids so we can learn how to tell when we’re nerve striked and not stam blocked”

99% of UO players have no idea about what you are talking about.  So not a priority.

No, 99% of UO players do not play at Yew gate in fel...

No I stand there often looking at pets. Not a common sight.  2 are there afk now still.  I doubt they are nerve striking anyone atm.  10 more there with other things in hand, should we speculate on them also?
