    *Sneaks in* Happy Friday Everyone!!!

    *looks around* Don't tell anyone but you want to see one of your 15th year Anniversary Gifts we have been working on? Can you guess what it is or what hue is the rare one?

  5. Arh lifespans on faction items, Kinda interesting.... at what cost?

  6. ShadowTrauma Seasoned Veteran

    Lifespan 4 weeks: I like that they wont last forever, could be lower in my opinion but hey looking forward to patch notes.
    Moonbound: Indestructible - not even gonna guess on this.

    The piano's look good. The detail is really nice, especially in regards to the keys. My guess is that the seventh starting from the left is the rare one.
  7. Oh man, i know it may be like e98r370897308dj;aj stupid to ask about, but will these be able to put music gears in them like dawn's music box? I mean, Srsly! That'll look so yummy in my house on the 2nd floor.

    Moonbound = they blow up if you wear them in Trammel?

  13. ShadowTrauma Seasoned Veteran

    Pure speculation here, but maybe they take extra durability damage in Tram and none in Fel. I'm skeptical they would have them just explode :D

    Regardless looking forward more and more to the actual patch notes.

    Sweet!

    Do they play special music when I sit my Musician down?

    Great Job Dev Team!
  15. O'Brien Thought Police

    Well now that we have pianos, I wonder hand-held firearms are included as one of the other anniversary items?

  16. Aha, I've deciphered it! They are ALL rare because they have not been put in the game yet! Now where's my cinnamon rolls!

    Hi guys, its not a piano. Guess again.

    Harpsichord
  19. Taylor President & CEO

    Technically, I think they're harpsichords (note the two layers of keys).

    **Arg! Ninja'd by both Mesanna and Frarc.

    the rare one is always white
  21. King_Fisher Journeyman

    Piano Duels anyone? Can we drop them on people at our doorstep? I don't think there will be room in my bards backpack to drag this to do spawns.

    hah!
  22. Pink Dragoness Journeyman

    L I K Y, for years we have been making our own from items. I just love house decor.
  23. lit2fly Adventurer

    can I use it with my peace / disco / Provo skill ? ;) there should be a bonus!
  24. I think the golden one will be rare. If they are not pianos, I don't know what they are but I love them!!:love: A new music box maybe???
  25. Siel Dragon Visitor

    I think are these harpsichord with music gears?
  26. Sevin0oo0 Crazed Zealot

    I'd say the 3rd one (red) is the best, it actually looks like mahogany. It is also the Only one that where the lid shades go from to lighter to darker, viewing left to right, while all the others appear opposite.
  27. Raptor85 Certifiable

    yeah, i noticed that too, all of them are rendered as if lit from the top shading to the left except the red, which is reversed.

    we can already convert glasses to garg items. how about making garg items that are mirrors of the artifacts we CANT alter?
  29. NuSair Babbling Loonie

    How about making it so we can put in our own music... First song- Stones, Second- Phantom of the Opera.

    Those look great! Thank you!

    It would be absolutely great if they could somehow play music everyone can hear and if our characters could sit down.
  31. Chrille Journeyman

    Third, fifth and sixth all go from light to dark from left to right, and the pic itself is named harpsichord...
  32. Petra Fyde UOSS M.E.
    UO Community Liaison

    I like! And I don't care what colour I get - I just have to make some decor adjustments to make room for it.

    And
    Life span 4 weeks, moonbound? Either we've done some pretty accurate guessing this week or someone has been reading a lot.

    I love the fact that the harpsichord is askew!

  35. Perhaps this is what we were being invited to "test" on TC1 and people like me and many others were blowing our gaskets a bit prematurely. Who can say meow. Still, a 15th anniversary cinnamon roll is on order!
  36. Lady Storm Babbling Loonie

    The one in the middle #6 is the rare one I love them, thank you. Do they play?? I'd love them to have music.... can you imagine the lovely sound....... Harpsicord music is very nice.
  37. Larisa UO Origin News Reporter

    My grandmother has a harpsicord...beautiful instrument and beautiful music..I MUST HAVE the purple one..MUST!

    Thanks for the sneak peeks Mesanna, can't wait to see more!

    They look good for the EC, but will look horribly out of place in the classic client.

    sweet change to the faction arti, cant use them in tram and need to be repalced every 4 weeks
  42. Petra Fyde UOSS M.E.

    Looking at the grass in the background, those are in the classic client. Why do you feel they won't fit?
  43. G.v.P Stratics Legend

    I'd have to assume the white (2) or blaze (1) harpsichord is the rare one, leaning on the white one because I really need another white deed that I confuse with power scrolls ;P. I'm conservative so I'd probably go for black (5) to own, but I actually own a brown harpsichord IRL, haha (no brown there, so I'm out of luck unless I settle for (3)).
    Sounds like they'll be similar to ephemeral items, which are, in fact, near-indestructible for 25 hours of play despite the continuing countdown. You can take an ephemeral item and get grizzle ooze on it and six seconds later have all the lost durability refreshed.
    I don't know if they'll blow up :p but I think that a state change would be interesting.
    I hope they'll be functional to some extent. Means we'll have to collect all the damn gears again, no? :p
    For some reason you made me think about how people used to house PK noobs by placing a trash barrel in front of their door, haha. Be funny if people could place them at door like that ;).
  44. Here is what it will look like in the classic client.

    Gah! ... No pink again! :( ... guess I'll have to make do with lavender again ... :sad3:

    # 1... I like the duration idea on the faction arty's. (course I did suggest ephemeral myself so.. )

    # 2... Me thinks Mesanna is asking us which one is rare so THEY know which one to make rare heh... Pure white one btw ..... is the correct answer.

    here's a fairly rough and ready cut and paste job utilising an old house picture I had:

    I'll say the gold / one on the far left. Just to be different.
