Help-Stuck should be removed.

If you log out on the ocean without a boat, you should be teleported to the closest land iirc.

How many people are actually "stuck", I doubt any at all except in extremely rare cases. If you got yourself there, you should be able to get out the same way, try asking a friend for help/gate/ride. I think stuck should only be usable if you somehow find yourself stuck underground or something, and nobody can reach you.

Ideally I would love to add this, but it really isn't a confirmed incoming change, Derrick has said numerous times he would like to do something with it/remove it but there we simply don't have the staff resources to help those who are legitimately stuck.

Looks confirmed :p
LOL! And I love how I said pretty much the exact same thing back in October.

P.S. Not saying it isn't true, just saying that it sounds like stealing would have been so damn difficult.
I'm an idiot.

I've removed clicking on yourself while hidden as it is apparently not possible in the demo, there is a topic floating around somewhere that I was unable to dig up where everyone (Derrick included I believe) thought it to be fact... Removed for now.

Probably should remove the attack last fix since that is definitely a relationship to the new swing timer patch.

One more fix to add to the list...

The single click grammer errors with items need fixed. IE: 'magic halberd' should be 'a magic halberd' - 'accurate katana of vanquishing' should be 'an accurate katana of vanquishing', etc... only items that are plural(stackable) would be excluded the 'a' or 'an' prefixes. IE: 'gold: 10500' should be 'gold 10500' - 'bottle: 2000' should be 'bottle 2000', etc...

weapons are already showing (i just checked a magic halberd, it's "a magic halberd"). gold is showing as: 10500 gold coin

Weapons may actually be correct already. However, was mainly just using a weapon merely as an example. Does clothes, armor, etc... items show up like that too? It could possibly just be an override in the BaseWeapon script for the onsingleclick method in order for it to be working with them. I remember there being a lot of items being off with this feature.

Every item was(is?), the item labels on this shard use the default RunUO shard and it only sent the cliloc message. You are right though, everything that isn't stackable should have a prefix to it.

Huh? I'm specifically talking about 3rd party hotkey programs, its a real stretch to consider those illegal.

Again, the party/guild chats are not accurate. Just don't expect removing them to have any impact on bots.
wont do a thing to the bots .. there is always Vent to communicate to your guildmates!

Just assumed this was right, if people could post the topics where the changes have been hashed out already that would be great.
