Those of you who logged into Ultima Forever yesterday may have once again noticed that a mini-patch (or “hotfix”, if you prefer) had been pushed to the game:

I’m in yur game, patching…yur game.

And in a post on the Ultima Forever forums, Mythic’s community manager for the game, Gene Makely, explains what this latest hotfix brought to the game:

• The “Limited Time Only” Keg of Gold Keys offer that was previously implemented (Jul 24) has come to an end. The Keg of Gold Keys once again awards 160 gold keys when purchased. Hopefully, you all managed to stock up!
• For any of you that missed out on the above opportunity, here’s a new one for you: with this hotfix, we’ve (again, for a LIMITED time!) increased the number of gold keys that are obtained when purchasing the Satchel of Gold Keys. Normally, the Satchel provides 70 gold keys for $9.99. For a brief time, however, you’ll get 150 gold keys for that price! As before, be sure to get yours soon, while supplies last!
• The safari hats (also implemented in our last hotfix on Jul 24) are no longer available via the city/town chests. If you weren’t able to obtain one while they were available, fret not… it’s possible that they might make a reappearance sometime in the future.
• We’ve made some adjustments to Shrine Bonuses:
  • Boost Values have been increased to 25% (from 5%)
  • Boost Duration has been increased to 1 hour (from 30 minutes)
  • As a result of this change, the Justice Shrine cool-down has been increased to 2 hours

And indeed, a cursory glance in-game confirms the above:

The key promotion is, once again, quite a considerable deal, offering only a handful of keys less than the next tier up for about half the cost of the next tier up. Get it while it lasts, if you missed out on the last one!
