Weren't we supposed to get emails with codes for extra gifts this
September? UO's anniversary is the 25th, I think, so will they be mailed
out tomorrow? Anyhow heard info on this?

EA has been very quiet on the issue. Not even a peep on Stratics, other
than to confirm that Sept 25th is the anniversary date. Speculation has it
that we won't see the e-mails until Monday or Tuesday since Saturday isn't a
normal workday.

That speculation is now proven wrong, I just got my code in my email.

Can you tell me what they used for the sender's email address this time?
Or just post the headers? Thanks.

Thanks. I'm worried that my spam filters will eat these mails. (I get
about 400 spam per day but I normally don't see any thanks to the
filters.)

hmm--so what do you do if your span software filtered out their
emails?...

From uo.com:

"However, if you have multiple accounts registered with the same email
address and are opted-in for email, then you probably only received
one code. We apologize for the delay. The rest of the gifts codes due
to you will be mailed by 9-28-04."

I wonder why they don't just give you your code when you log into the UO
Account page. Seems like that would be less problematic than relying upon
spammy emails.

Or just do as they did with the AoS gifts for putting up with it's b.s. and
just have a window appear on login. It would have been simplier and used
code they already had.

Rember how the account and login servers were hammered the day AoS
opened?

How is that different from everyone logging into the account pages to
check that their email addys were correct?

I got my code in email. Now I have The Holy Sword and The Ancient Samurai
Helm.

I have been killed a few times with the Holy Sword, I never lost it. These
items can not be insured, is there any event that would make me loose them
or are the mine for the life of the character.

Because that took place across several days/weeks as opposed to across
a few hours as the word spreads the codes are available.

I was too, but I recently got a "spam" from EA so I assume it
would get through.

Ahhh...so when during those few hours and everyone logged into the account
servers to check their email addresses were correct, that was different
how?

If you drop it on purpose or put it into a container inside your main
pack, then die and are looted by monsters or let you body decay - then you
will lose it. Otherwise blessed items should stay with you.

Actually there is some bug where blessed and insured items can be looted
but I don't know how that happens.

One theory is that it happens if you are overloaded when you die. Someone
reported getting the Royal Leggings off a monster that must have looted them
from someone's body. People have reported it happening when no other
players were around, so it isn't just due to an exploit. Leurocian was
asking for feedback from people it had happened to, so hopefully the devs
will figure it out and get a fix in the next publish.

Yeah, I read that. Seems like someone would be complaining. It's hard to
miss those Ember Leggings.

Yes, they are, much to many players dismay, and I really don't want to start
another long winded discussion on the politics of THAT! *puts fingers in
ears*
