Ultima Online Five on Friday Q&A

This week's "Five on Friday" Q&A feature on the official Ultima Online website covers questions about housing placement in TerMur, when the enhanced client will come out of beta, and more.
Why are the mimic room puzzles only penalizing casters (freezing only affects casters when it comes to healing)?

The mimic no longer spawns in the puzzle room. You will however continue to sustain some form of damage when failing to solve the puzzle correctly. As such, casters will still suffer the normal penalties of paralysis (when applicable). But at least, they will no longer be at a greater disadvantage of having to deal with pesky critters.
