OSI - Neuer Newsletter und Exploitwarnung

"The New UO.com Newsletter ... Last week we began sending out our Ultima Online newsletter with a brand new look, and many of you were pleasantly surprised at these inspiring changes. Where once the newsletter was text-based, now it shows off the great UO: Lord Blackthorn’s Revenge art that you’ve seen as the UO:LBR box and on the UO:LBR Web site (http://www.uolbr.com/). There are also four variations to the newsletter, allowing us to focus certain elements on players who are new to UO as well as veteran players who have been enjoying the game for years.

To help us distribute the newsletter, we’ve brought in a group that specializes in such things, and they’re doing an awesome job. Part of their system included e-mailing this new version to all our players, and including links both to our official Web site ( http://www.uo.com ) as well as back to their third-party Web site (ultimaonline-com.m0.net). We want to assure you that this particular usage of a non-UO.com URL is intentional and necessary in this case. We also wanted to assure players that your personal account information still remains secure and undistributed by Origin Systems, and the reason why these non-UO.com links are part of the newsletter is only to help them in managing the newsletter itself.

By the way, this newsletter e-mail is for informational/marketing purposes only. We’ll never ask you to share private or game account details with any outside party, and that continues to be true even with this newsletter.

“Pets in a bag” exploit ... We’re aware of a current exploit that involves turning pets into a smaller “statue” form within a bag, and where that “statue” is labeled as “[tame].” These creature-statues do not stay in this temporary form, and after a time the pet will go wild as normal, and revert back into a normal creature.

While we are working to resolve this issue, we urge extreme caution when buying what seem to be rare creature-statues.

Again, the creation of these temporary “statues” is considered an exploit, and players found using this exploit may have action taken against their game accounts."

:) Leider habe ich den neuen UO-Newsletter noch nicht gesehen und den alten auch schon eine Weile nicht mehr erhalten. Ein Grund mehr, dass ich mich bei OSI sofort mal wieder angemeldet habe. Aber das neue Design kann man ja schliesslich schon auf der UO:LBR-Seite bewundern.
:( Was die Sache mit dem Exploit angeht kann man alle nur noch einmal warnen, keine Tierstatuen in Taschen zu kaufen!
