I am curious about the gargoyle racial ability to fly as fast as a galloping horse as stated in the SA part of UO herald. Will this ability be dismountable? Players will be able to "dismount" gargoyles that are flying around. -Leurocian

Even when dismount wears off is there a casting time to initiate the flying? The current plan is that there will be some sort of take off delay. Similar to Ethy mounts or the Charger of the fallen. -Leurocian
--
With regular mounts you can dismount the person and poison them. Is there going to be a way to ground the flying gargoyle for longer then the dismount timer the same way as a human/elf? We will be looking at flying closely and comparing it with the human/elf mounts. -Leurocian
--
Will flying be possible in the felucca or just in the new areas introduced with SA? Er, yes, yes they can fly anywhere.
Flying lets the Gargoyles move at mounted speed, and also access special areas that would normally be impassable to the earthbound creatures. Ter Mur will contain most of those special areas, but the other facets will have a few as well.
Regardless, Gargoyle can *fly* at any time, as far as movement speed goes. -Draconi

Is the SA client going to be a top down 2d view like 2d and KR or is it going to be more like a 3d world like world of warcraft? The SA client is an evolution of the Kingdom Reborn client. Our goal was to take everything the majority of our players hated about KR and either fix it or remove it. So to answer your question, the SA client will be using the same “isometric” view as the 2d and KR clients. -Supreem

What are the plans for potions? Are healing potions going to be nerfed with the timer mentioned? Are other potions going to be affected? These changes have been put on hold while we focus our attention on finishing the SA expansion. We will probably take another look at these changes once things get back to normal around here. -Supreem

I just purchased a dirt patch (the item), thinking that I could fill plant bowls with it. I was sadly (and sorely! *squeezes pocketbook*) mistaken. I swore I read it somewhere! *scratches head* Will we ever be able to use this dirt to fill plant bowls? This falls into the “oversight” category. We’ll come up with some cool uses for them in the future. -Sakkarah

The fires are dying down in the city of Luna. Soon the cleanup crew will begin removing the rubble that’s left from the blazing fires once a week. Once the rubble has been removed a house will be able to be built where the rubble used to lie. The cleanup crew will visit a different shard every week until all of the rubble has been removed.
