it seems glasses have status added to RunUO.
it means, we have codded almost all coop stuff, (generally talismans, glasses in specific). so all itemization for coop collection is around the corner.
the hard part is about ML quest system needed to implement this feature, i guess.

thnx staff for ur effort! im crossing fingers for coop collection.

So get crackin on collecting all that oddball shit to turn in for uber rares =D

I know many people like to just collect as well. A full collection is difficult to get. So its going to either be a a major money drain or item work out. Either way. I like the turn in stuff.

Hi guys!
I found a possible bug here: I claimed an ethy reptalon. The statuette looks like a reptalon, the mount (when I activate it) looks like a reptalon, but the statuette is labelled as "Ethereal Hiryu Statuette".
Don't know if it's just a bug in mine or someone mistyped it in the code.

getting fixed tonight. a few of my recent patches got wacked and reverted and all sorts of weird things from a pretty bad rash of drive errors and bad blocks. I can only assume something saw the bad changes and tried to restore them or something. ok well.

sorry!

is server down ? i noticed that if you animate dead you cannot skin it afterwards. also it would be nice if the corpses turned into bones again cuz it gets really messy while i am farming.
