  • Always thought this rule intentionally discriminated against players not having a house on the shard were they wanted to sell he item.  Not sure about the logic.  An explanation would be helpful.
  • Lots of goofy stuff in this game left over from previous versions and events.  Lots of stuff that does not make a lot of sense.  That’s just UO.  Recommend following Pawain’s advice, drop the deeds that don’t provide a good rate of return and do the…
  • Game has too many unpopulated shards but agree existing housing would prevent most shard mergers.  Maybe allowing players to move more freely from their home shard to another and back again so they could visit vendors on other shards, and play event…
  • Current account age reward system discriminates against newer players while providing absolutely no incentive for them to continue to pay UO’s subscription fee.  Really think UO needs to take a serious look at this.  Find the current reward system t…
  • In general UO needs to be more empathetic to the legitimate needs of players. This is just a game not life or death.  But it is a game that is more than just a game to many of the players.  To often see strings of angry discussions generated simply …
  • Not really sure why the previous thread on this was closed.  It just called for a discussion.  PvP discussions usually get pretty spirited and maybe it might have been closed for trolling later on.  Not saying I agree or disagree with what was sugge…
  • The screens you see when you go to UO’s basic website provide some information about how to set up a character but nothing regarding the actual mechanics of playing the game.  It seems in general all the writers of information provided by UO are afr…

  • A tutorial for melee fighters existed in New Haven before I started.  It took place in that off limits area outside of Old Haven.  that’s my understanding.  Closest thing to a tutorial now is that video in that recently closed thread by Urge.  Think…

  • Idocs like 120 scrolls only obtained in Fel are part of UO’s culture.  They will always be with us.  Rules can change and maybe should.  Idoc changes made awhile ago did improve them.
  • Mage rides an ethereal mount.  Mage can’t survive long on foot because mage can’t melee. If mage cannot ride an ethereal mount in a dungeon, think that might be the last straw.  Suggest this be fixed if it is broken.  Have wondered for a long time i…
  • Have nothing against players that like PvP but have to agree with Warra as far as the scrolls go on this one.
  • Did not know that.  Thanks
  • You sure you don’t mean CC.  Your backpack image looks like a CC image.  EC backpacks have a grid view.  I don’t use the book that way much anymore but I don’t have a problem like that when I do in EC.
  • Just point dexterity arrow up to gain and intelligence arrow down and fight some stuff with your sword.  Did this a couple of weeks ago with a character I wanted to change from a caster to a fighter.  Don’t think I changed any skill levels because I…
  • Did a search for other YouTube videos by this person..  Looked like this video was listed twice.  Looks like most of his videos deal with another non related to UO video game. Looked at one of them made for newer players of that game.  It was done r…
  • The link takes you to a well thought out video created by an experienced gamer that knows what he, or she, is doing when it comes to creating presentations and knows how to effectively deliver a message.  I thought the reference to Saul was absolute…
  • Great video. Describes how I felt as a new player.  Brings back a lot of memories from four years ago.  Accurately represents the new player experience.  Really fun to watch.  Has a commercial at the end but still worth watching.  Still laughing as …
  • Don’t think the situation is quite that dire yet.  Lots of stuff you can complain about no doubt about that.  But know several returning players that were pretty average for returning players when they started that really applied themselves to learn…
  • I can read the forum any time I want without having to log on.  Don’t mind having to log on if I want to post. This isn’t twitter or Facebook.  Believe what UO requires is commonly required on many of these kinds of sites.  
  • Don’t see much from Popps anymore.  Considered him too verbose at times, but not really a troll. His posts were game related.
  • The game is set in the Medieval time period.  What you see reflects that period.  Think players provide the real art.  Love the paper dolls and housing.
  • No, asking for communication is not a problem; just fewer posters posting now and the constant beating of the same dead horses.  Agree developers should be responding more so maybe some of the dead horses could Rest In Peace.  Mesanna responds when …
  • Why are players leaving UO? Yes, it’s mostly long time players but take a look at the age of player base.  Most are not leaving by choice.  Fewer posters here than a year ago, fewer players around the bank than a year ago, fewer players at major eve…
  • Pretty sure slayer works with chain lightening and meteor swarm.  Maybe wither too.  Has been awhile but use wither to kill knights in the graveyard on the other side of the fence at Halloween. Think undead slayer increased damage.  Not positive tho…
  • Most of the bugs mentioned have been around the four years I have played UO, and by now are just another part of the game for me.  Believe from what I had read when I started, most of the bugs referred to are as old as UO or whatever element of the …
  • Getting vendor search to work more than 50% of the time.
  • Just looked at the home page for SWTOR.  Looks pretty much identical to UO’s page with the only difference being a Star Wars theme.   Never played that game so no idea what UO is getting. But if it gets someone with the vision to turn UO into a game…
  • Don’t see so much of bots on my shard but don’t see many players or much for sale on vendor search anymore either.  I guess I don’t agree fully with everything  said in the original statement as far as my shard goes but agree 100% with the poster’s …
  • You know as a person that will never qualify to get a shard shield, have to admit the  differences in availability and prices of nonshard items in general is really starting to irritate me.  Yes, I know some players do offer to buy things on other s…
  • EC users can easily navigate vendor backpacks because everything is in a grid.  Nothing is plied on top of anything else.  CC users trying to navigate the same backpack just see a jumbled mess and if something big is at the top can’t see what is und…
