This just in - Publish 16 will be put on our shard TOMORROW morning. A few last minute warnings:

The new Guaranteed Gain System is in. The main issue with this is that players are no longer in control of their stats by locking skills that gain those stats. For example, if you're a GM miner and have worked the old see-saw stat control method to get your strength at 90, you might begin gaining unwanted strength when you go mining. OSI says they are working on stat locks that work like the skill locks as their top priority to fix this issue.

Magic-using monsters now insta-cast upon players they target. No more waiting for physical melee or the player to attack first before casting. At sea, this means water elementals targeting sailors as soon as they see them, and in some cases teleporting onto ships. Krakens now never lose thir ability to breathe that blue-fire onto their targets. Recalling or sailing away will no longer stop it.

There's more of course, all of it out there on the usual UO websites. As for us, I hope we can get together next week for a big post-Publish 16 net night. The best change of all this for fishers is of course the new colored nets. Those of you who fish, however, should consider that the rarity of these nets might make them more worthwhile to sell to other players. If I get a purple one I'm betting someone will pay 500K for it ! Maybe...? *shrugs*
