The Expanse

Hi guys just starting a thread here,  sort of a review of things as you see it, I guess. Would appreciate any feedback you've had over the past few weeks anyway.

I did the Den of Evil quest which starts at healer shop in Vesper Tram. After I complete the quest it just gave some gold. I am not sure whether that's all one get or is there something else missing.

Completing the quest is not that hard at all... just a little bit time consuming. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't missing something.

Spawn timers need to get sorted. 3 Hours for the spawns on level 2 Despise? The champ spawns take 5-10 mins on completion, but other things are so long!

That was already fixed. Most anything else that takes a long time to respawn has a reason.

why do i had to change my name?

i logged in and the game asked me to change my name...? im now Arun but i really prefer ArHun

It would have stated the reason why you had to change your name when you logged in. There are lots of reasons why names might have to be changed, but mostly it's because that name already exists.

its been nearly a month i ve been playing under the name of Arhun even registered on the forum with the same name..Why Asking now?

and if there is another Arhun its probably  the character i created by mistake in an wrong account the first time iv tried to play on UO expanse..should be able to detect by the online time of this account..

anyway its just a little bit frustating to change the name  i were used to

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me, as all the advanced spellbooks can have their own hotwords assigned. Here's how it works:

To setup a hotword for an advanced spellbook, when you open the spellbook, click the scroll icon to the right of the spell. This opens a large scroll with more info about the spell. At the bottom of the scroll, it says Key: with a blue button. Simplying type in the word you want to assign the spell to. You can then cast the spell by typing in [CSSCast hotword. This can then be assigned to a hotkey using the in-game system.

Lets say you wanted to hotkey the spell for Create Food, you could do it like this:
Open the Advanced Magery Spellbook, click the scroll icon and type the word food where it says key and click the blue button. Now type [CSSCast food and it will cast Create Food. Use the in-game hotkey system to assign [CSSCast food to the say command and pick your hotkey.

ok i had a little problem with the harrower...

i put all the skulls at the altar..[even bought at 2M the white skull from mitch ]
but the harrower summoned at Wrong dungeon and since the dungeon its blocked by a wall  [if i remembering right its an old event place] i could go and try to slain the harrower...lost all the skulls:(

Sorry Arhun, I'll take care of that. Check your bag next time you log in.

Um yes, this is partially a question and partially a complaint. Is [c text no longer intended to speak shard-wide, and is just "[c" no longer suppossed to show who's online? Apparently it's "regional" now and I can't find a shard-wide alternative, [i says irc is down (didn't even know we had one) and every other combination I've attempted either does nothing or does less then nothing. If that's intentional, I'm complaining. ;3 If not, I hope it's fixed soon but I'm sure you have more important things to worry about so I'll just wait patiently...

I covered the chat in this post:
viewtopic.php?t=3

Basically, the only global chat this is avialable is Help, Guild, or Alliance. If you're not guilded, you're not in an Alliance either way, [c works for Regional Public Chat only. This was done to cut-down on a lot of extra chatter in public chat that can interfere with other players trying to read their chat log.

The bad side is that i cant know who is online if im not in the same city those guys are, lol.
Could atleast that remain the same?

You can add people to a friend's list, then you'll be able to see your entire friend's list and it will show who's online or not.
