OSI: Hanse Ups the Rate of Big Fish
Hanse, one of the UO Live Designers for Ultima Online, posted the following message to the Development Board, here:Re: Fishing, any chance of it being worthwhile? [re: Gung_Farmer]
Yes, the big fish was complained about because it was too hard to fish up. We made it more common (along the lines of a treasure map, but it requires less skill). It had a typo and had a very tough fishing up percentage (folks were spending 8 hours without fishing up one). It was something like a 0.01% chance. It was upped to roughly 3% or so successful attempts (that's a very rough estimate). That change was made prior to the taxidermy kit being available for purchase.
