Does Luna count as a "strategically important city"?

@Community Manager  Hook us up with a sneak peak of the new Clydesdale graphics.
Not too late to give equines a new ability, Thunder Hoof.
The RL ones come in many colors and patterns.
  

The Seige is straight from the "NL engine"  Just like Eclipsed Dawn.

Would be interesting if they ported over some of the NL codebase for the quests.

Or New Magincia.  Would be hilarious, but they will probably stick to the mainland Britannia.

I would say Vesper or possibly Yew, maybe Minoc or Skara Brae.  Trinsic and Britain have been done too many times, and most of the others are too out of the way or too small.

Can you tell us exactly what updating/ upgrading on the cc client we will be getting 
will it have an expandable play window fast frame speed, hot bars, better macros, and agents, grid containers, Any graphic improvement ?Basically will it be like webUO but not a browser app client

Unfortunately I cannot give a sneak peek, but, here's a nice ASCII horsie!

I would ask for your patience in this for more information. 🙂

NGL. Kind of hoping the new pet looks exactly like that ASCII horsie. ^_^

 Need @Victim_Of_Siege to post his conception of a Clydesdale.

I didn't have the time to draw it myself so i had my sarcasm infused ChatGPT ai friend to draw it for me.

Umm you see its.. nevermind.

lol, it disappeared .

From the engineering front we are pleased to share our planned Classic Client upgrade is progressing on track and we expect a testable version later this summer.

I swear if they break UOAssist with the client upgrade and continue leave the other clients alone I'm going to actually throw all my stuff on the ground and quit the game @Kyronix

On the latest interview, they mentioned updates to the “renderer”. I presume this could mean better scaling art, a resizable window, and higher fps. I doubt UI updates are in the cards right now, but it would be cool if they opened it up for easier modding like EC.

I don’t really play the CC much, but I don’t know that I’ve ever really ran into very many bugs with it. There are a lot of quirks and design flaws for sure, but a lot of that’s server-side or just a result of the client’s age. The EC, on the other hand… 

Ehh think sun is setting on the EC. There’s a reason the team didn’t lead with the EC in any lead up to NL, and neither client is particularly relevant until they can get to one that looks half decent and is reasonably modern such that they can start cracking down on unofficial clients without starting an uprising.

They will never kill one client 

I would love for the CC to get lockable spell icons/hot bars and please for the love of god fix the macro menu.  Its a horrible horrible interface and actually broken.  When you make a macro with say two actions - save it - then go back and add a third item they get out of order.  You actually have to delete a macro and start over to get it right.  Also you only show 2 actions at a time in the edit window - please give us like a list of 5.  That would cover most macros.  Also the scrolling to select things is super annoying. You can't pause scroll you have to active scroll to your item. Super annoying when trying to find a spell to be spinning up and down every spell known to man.  I would like to open the menu and be able to scroll with a drag bar down the side.  Lastly on macros how about adding to 'Mobile, Hostile, Friendly etc' add an option for nearest Mob or Monster.  I want to attack the nearest monster.  Sometimes its not hostile yet.  If I use nearest mobile then I get healers, players, dogs, cats etc.  I just want to attack the nearest monster even if its not hostile to me yet.  

Thanks for the roadmap.  It is nice to have communication from the Dev Team!

@Community Manager this isn’t directed at you, your doing a great job here and on all the other media locations as well. 

but be patient….? for what another 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 even 30 years maybe ?

If they kill the EC sucks but that be the end for me...I was forced to use cc after they killed kr and cc not for me. With the lack of new things and rampant cheating going unpunished that be it.

No one has said anything about killing EC, let's not create problems where they don't exist just to annoy people please.

wow orchids for our house and for our character!!!

for our character... does that mean that we get to hold orchids? or maybe have an orchid lei ? or is a new dress with orchids all over it? can't wait to see what that would be like  🙂

And Clydesdale. what a wonderful idea

Shire Horses, and the Clydesdale are beautiful animals, hopefully the graphics do justice. 🙂

After you kill the big Clydesdale boss you’ll have a  .00000001 chance of a pack drop of the little one ! It’s a cute tiny clydesdale 🙂 

Hat and boots are optional 

Got a mention in MassivelyOP

Ultima Online’s spring roadmap includes a new live event in June’s publish 120 | Massively Overpowered
