  • Interesting that in this case AI has higher ethics/morals then most actual players and seems more concerned with rules then those running the game.  *POOF*  *Mind Blows Up*
  • Shard shield that once clicked gives its owner a token to a shard that enforces the ToS, bans scripters, & doesn’t allow 3rd party clients. Shields should be available to everyone.
  • iirc boss said if there’s any changes to idocs next, it will be to just remove them entirely. Prob not the change most folks want. But then... there have been things said that never saw the light of day... https://forum.uo.com/discussion/1403/revis…
  • There’s no vet reward that has any ‘respawn’ mechanic once lost under any circumstances. Yet OP suggests introducing this mechanic to arguably the strongest/best vet reward in game. I’ll give u an A+ for wishful thinking but have to respectfully dis…
  • Spent days farming greater dragons for best tame I could get. Eventually one spawned in the wall of the cave... unreachable even w AoE spells. Paged a GM to have it moved. Hours later no response . Paged again. An hour later, paged again . Out of…

  • ^^^ Why’s there no like option? ^^^ That’s awesome
  • Its a tie between 3 or 4 but I’ll just name one... Watching the entire HI5 guild & their friends get destroyed by spawn lured in Tera Keep by Legendary Chester Rockwell (Judge Smails/Burt) & I. Burt worked up terra to lvl 4 then soon as it …
  • Looks like fun. Good sized group fights w action... Sign me up ! Just need to know what game your actually playing? Looks kinda like UO but not a single tree anywhere, just stumps. There’s movement like I’ve never seen, not a single rubberband or l…
  • Late 1998 or early ‘99 iirc, a GM took control over a ‘Lord of the Abyss’ balron in 3rd lvl Hythloth(sp?) on Atlantic absolutely destroying everyone that dared approach. Word got out that this unkillable beast was lurking & folks started poping …
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: Packet pushing. It's been around for decades. There's different ways to force a crash. Pushing was 1, especially when a heavy load was present. Not sure if thats the case anymore but def possible. The exploit I mentio…
  • Years ago there was a similar exploit often used in PvP by tryhards w no skill that would crash other players in the middle of fights to kill them. Couple of PvP losers would do this whenever they were abt to die, I’m guessing they had it on a hotke…
  • A blue tent w 1 chest inside 2 screens east of the beach above Shame. Saved up & placed a green tent right next to it. 1st home was a small fieldstone along the coast south of what is now the Blighted Grove area (Blighted Grove didn’t exist whe…

  • Dealing w all the knuckleheads posting here is painful enuff I’m sure. Drop the whole dumpster fire in her lap... thats just cruel & inhumane. ESPECIALLY when she volunteers her time w/o pay. I’d vote her a paying staff position in CS/Promotiona…
  • CovenantX said: That's what happens when those in charge let the cheating slide for so long.    I'm not sure what else the result of doing nothing could have been. Facts.
  • U may already be doing this but just incase... Set a macro for tame last target & just hold it down for taming any pet that will aggro on taming attempts. It makes taming them much easier.
  • Long ago in a land far far away, I used to PvP against cheaters & this was my song   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DBfTk6Unddk (My phones not letting me embed & on pc I’m getting “You dont have permission” message trying to edit . )

  • Thing is... they’re NOT playing the game. They’re running a script to gain unfair advantage over folks that ARE playing the game. Time is what players here are investing in their games. Game evolution & tolerance have absolutely nothing to do wi…

  • Years ago when UO had physical server locations, I lived less then 100miles from the Atlantic server. I never moved as fast as these guys in the vid link. CrAzY.... If they’re actually in Russia playing that fast w zero lag... I’m so glad I’ve quit…

  • My favorite stealther template, one which decimated an entire pvp guild in terra keep, is the hated stealth ninja archer herder.  Basics are: 120 archery 120 tactics 100 hiding 100 herding 120 ninja 120 stealth Theres left over points for what yo…
