  • She means "if the devs code it to require real skill instead of modified'. I'm almost 100% sure there is no content currently that requires stealing to be real skill instead of modified (I could be wrong though, I really haven't done a ton of steali…
  • 95% of the time anything 'new' is posted on Tuesdays or Thursdays. aside from a few things like sales (they can be any weekday) and um... i guess hotfixes if it's coming this month it's got a high chance of being tomorrow. =]
  • nothing is going to stop scripting other than handing out suspensions/bans to accounts that are doing it.   even then it won't stop it all, but it'll curb it enough to where content doesn't become obsolete within a month or two... Anyway. The sand-s…
  • I've logged in with 5 (paid) accounts, and one disconnected randomly about 20-30 mins after i logged in, It wasn't idle long enough to disconnect from that, but it was minimized at the time. -i was on for approx 6-7 hours. I have not experienced mul…
  • Yep, it used to be a monthly newsletter, It started off fairly consistent, then it became a bi-monthly (every 3-4 months) letter.    Is it going to pick back up again? Also is it going to state something other than what's on the UO.com homepage or t…
  • people don't get punished for scripting, that's the only reason everything is scripted to death. suspend people, it'll drastically reduce scripting, after 2 suspension, 3rd one should be perma ban... dunno when or why it stopped.   but whoever m…
  • I saw it, it was good enough I suppose... https://forum.uo.com/discussion/1476/various-clean-items-inablility-to-pof-antique-items-vs-repair-pof/p1 Mesanna at one point said "Jewely cannot be PoF'd  because it starts off at 255/255, other items don'…
  • it was a 'fix' put in place to prevent you from casting the spell too fast, which resulted in the previous cast(s) from dealing any damage.   as well as to prevent the use of magic arrow + nether bolt spam...   the real issue with that when it exist…
  • I read the post up until this point. Cookie said: We've got videos, and I have a nice screenshot, but I doubt it would be allowed. I miss the days when programs didn't make the player... 15+ years ago was the only 'good' UO there's ever be…
  • Rorschach said: The terms of service for the game and forums are totally separate and distinct things.  Oh we know, that's the most obvious thing around here.  The real question is, When is it going to change?
  • Mariah said: It has NEVER been policy to forewarn exploiters of any action planned against them, yet you expect it to happen here? I wish I had the same level of mind reading skill as @ Lord_Nythrax and @ KroDuK Can I politely request that t…
  • honestly, the only time bushido+parry is better than healing+anatomy on a 'sampire' is when you fight mobs that have no slayer vulnerabilities, and you happen to 'honor' the target, otherwise you can't hit for the max amount of damage to those targe…
  • username said: ... can we ban users that log in with the unapproved 3rd party clients?   Yes please,  been asking for this for the better part of the last several years... without expecting a 'new client' just, rule enforcement that should…
  • Pawain said: @ MacroPlanet a classic server has been asked for so often that they spent 5 years making NL in attempt to bring back that feeling.   When it was being made, every poster lost their memory and said, no one asked for that. Anyth…
  • Interesting News. Good luck to Mesanna & Kyronix.
  • The ones cheating/botting are essentially already getting 'free gifts', the gifts keep on giving because nothing happens to cheaters here in UO. I doubt it would work, because in order for it to work the 'reward' for not cheating, would have to be s…
  •  1)  Rules to be enforced against unapproved clients / bots.  as far as I'm concerned, changes to the game mechanics/content etc etc, really don't matter until the rules are enforced, cause there's not much a point to it if the players aren't the on…
  • There should have been something done about the bots 15 years ago or so. they've been killing the game off slowly because it looks trashy from a normal-legit players perspective, especially when there are rules that are meant to prevent people from …
    in BOTS Comment by CovenantX December 2024
  • Rorschach said: I have removed some posts with obscene language, please post with in the terms of service.   Let us all know when the rules in-game are enforced half as strictly as they are here.
  • Seth said: They should ban, if not simply disable the account with warning for 24h, 2nd time 48h, 3rd time 96h,  4th time 1 week, then finally perma ban.    That's a lot of strikes before they're 'out' but still far better than doing nothing…
  • deadite said: Some of you guys are wild. CUO is basically just the EC with better performance in a CC skin. I've used CUO for years on many freeshards, but was always hesitant to use it on OSI because I love my dumb old account and don't wan…
  • Ben said: Update as of this morning. The bots were hit. Someone was paying attention, and made a point of posting it on Discord and also sending a shout out to me. Look closely at the picture below. How revealing. What are we seeing? Is this…
  • Psycoder said: CovenantX said: It's crazy the things players get away with in UO I think this really is the core of the issue. Players are allowed to get away with things.  And, I dont mean small things like "he is using auto bandage …
  • Cookie said: CovenantX said: Well, seeing as we were told the 'cheats are detectable', and there seems to be a complete lack of rule enforcement currently, I hear of people being banned, but generally they're all EJ accounts that alrea…

  • Lord_Nythrax said: CovenantX said: If it's going to stay open-source, this is definitely going to have the reverse impact on cheating then everyone should be expecting. It's going to open the flood-gates far more than they're open now.…

  • AtomicBetty said: This is good and now that we will have a viable option to use, can you ban players that want to use unapproved programs now?   Indeed. I've never tried using ClassicUO, but I have heard of it.   the vast majority of play…
  • Not yet, but I'm sure i'll be annoyed next time i log in  I'll have a bunch of items to drop.
  • Taming.   by far the most boring skill from 50-90  (still boring at 90-120 )
