1. From looking at the new screenshots, it looks like we be getting horse blankets, saddles, and horse armor. Is this true?
Andrew "Ando" Woodruff, Assistant Producer:
While this is certainly a possibility, the horses shown in the new screenshots are faction horses. The color of the blanket that the horse is wearing represents the faction it belongs to.

2. Will you please extend Treasures of Tokuno II a bit longer?
Aaron "Darkscribe" Cohen, Producer:
Since so many of you have asked nicely... YES!

3. I see that Leurocian is back! What is he working on?
Patrick "Leurocian" Malott, Designer:
I’ve been working on additions and bug fixes for the heritage items such as adding fruit on the apple and peach fruit trees and allowing the curtains to open and close. I’m also working on design documents for UO: Kingdom Reborn as well as collaborating with our other designers on resolving ‘hot topic’ issues such as Evasion balancing.

4. We're finding some new kinds of coins on the rats invading Castle British, what do they do?
Tim "Draconi" Cotten, Designer:
Actually, they're really *old* coins, from before Britannia switched to the simple gold piece system that we all know today. It looks like the rats managed to get into an old vault beneath the castle, because these have never been seen in the history of UO! They're rather nice for coin flipping though. (Double click when they're outside of a container, works when locked down as well).

Be careful though, I've seen quite a few merchants who are more than willing to accept them as legal tender. Vendors, bankers, insurance collectors, anyone who has access to your finances or bankbox might take these, so keep them safely locked away at home!

5. Who is Sherry the Mouse? What does she do?
Tim "Draconi" Cotten, Designer:

-It seems to be some entity attempting to enter our world, yet still unable to do so. The figure appears more often when several people are around, but always flickers back into the ether. Several of our citizens have already come to their own conclusions and drug up old books and legends, but whether or not this is truly the "Time Lord," as some have rumored, remains to be seen.

-We’re getting close to implementing a solution for these shrouds. Stay tuned.
