  • Thought this action was just poor mouse handling on my part.  Kind of glad to see it is a bug and not me.  Agree it’s a real pain but have learned to live with it.  With UO you just have to learn live with stuff like this or you will not enjoy the g…
  • When the action heats up, the games operating system simply cannot handle the targeting system as written.  UO should just admit this.  I don’t believe this can be fixed.  It works perfectly most of the time when it’s just me and a treasure chest ev…
  • Thanks Arroth_Thaiel for the link.  Was really wondering about that. Have done hundreds of hoard chests over the years but this is the first time I ever had a grubber take the bag and it’s contents.  They seem to be a little more selective lately ab…
  • You can get to 120 just unraveling stuff.  I did.  Real pain is getting to 45 or 50. At lower levels next to nothing you get unravels.  But you can gain by imbuing.  Personally I just started a new character an set imbuing as high as UO would allow.…
  • Maybe I misread.  I was referring to periodic events like the archlich event where you get drops you can turn in for rewards.  Generally if you hang around at these events doing the best you can you can get at least a few drops a night you can sell.…
  • Prices vary some per shard but Popps is right selling drops on a vendor from these events is a great way to raise gold and because most players don’t loot kills they are a good source of gold too and sometimes have something good you can loot. On m…
  • Are you using EC or CC?  Sometimes my macro does not work right in the lost lands bank but it works everywhere else most of the time.  In prior years it did stumble and for no apparent reason get stuck when UO got confused when more more than one th…
  • Think not.  You have to take something out of the box.  You can still make a deposit in person.
  • My other solution to the EV killing innocents is to have the dispel spell right next to it on the hot bar so I can dispel it quickly after it kills the hostiles if innocents are around.
  • Just so you know, EV kills every thing in sight in EC too.  It kills hostiles first then whatever is left including wandering healers.  If innocents are about my treasure hunter uses a fire elemental.  It only kills hostiles.
  • I have been playing now the better part of four years.  This feature has never worked properly when the action heats up.  When it gets busy each press of the macro button sometimes takes takes you one target at a time consecutively though every targ…
  • Would not mind having another collecting eggs option to fighting in a dungeon type event.  Enjoyed the last one.  But fear UO would just use the unproven bot identifier program to again flag innocent players like it at the archlich event. Was glad …
  • Psycho be careful what you wish for.  This is a very old game with much of it’s play dynamics still back in the 90’s.  The current team may actually understand that, and the player base is comfortable with it.  New leadership would likely want to br…
  • I think about six months to a year ago, maybe a little longer, I noticed the game play was getting rather erratic and I was starting to fear the game was just going to crash.  But, for the most part, it has smoothed out now so I am pretty confident …
  • As a necro mage don’t summon relevants much anymore, as I can more reliably cast magery summons spells.  As I remember the relevant never did much damage, but you could target it and it could distract the target just enough that you could then go in…
  • I worry about the games future as well.  See only long time players and returning players.  But, don’t see any other newer players like myself.  Never thought I would be playing with others my age.  I like that but don’t see anyone replacing the pla…
  • Overall thought the spawn was well managed getting more difficult the deeper you went.  Lesser players could concentrate on levels more consistent with their level of play and so could better players.  Think the drop rate of about 9 to15 an hour is …
  • Have to admit this aspect of the game has never made much sense to me but know some players like the suspense and others enjoy preying on other players so I just accept it as part of the game’s culture that never really worked out well commercially …
  • Read Popp’s discussion which starts with “Which archlich rewards”.   Right now it is just next to this one.
  • If this is about EC macros, it is difficult to properly place new steps into the string of steps you have.  Almost always had to rearrange the steps into the proper order after adding a step.  Made creating macros very frustrating at times. That’s j…
  • I use a mage and mark a rune in the general area of the chest when I treasure hunt.  I just remark the rune over and over for subsequent chests.  It’s often a long run to the healer but always have enough time to get back and reclaim my body.  But, …
  • Does UO give an onscreen warning?  Really it should.  Did not know it went down nightly for that long a time.  Agree not many are on at that time of the morning but that could be disastrous to the compulsive player that is on in certain situations.
  • Divorced now from the game and just maintaining it.  New to the game and their first experience at real time programming.  Still pursing old time thinking and trying to make the most of it as they try to bring back the 90’s.  Just plain overwhelmed.…
  • Have no idea where this is.  Can you get there and resurrect if you get killed along the way. Most towns have healers.
  • The price for the six month subscription is the same as what it would be if I bought just the six month code from EA.  To be honest would not buy one of these from a third party nor would I play more for allowing EA to just bill my credit card. I d…
  • Not sure what you are asking here.  If you go to your EA account from the UO site you log on at you can setup your credit card so that you automatically renew when the time comes.  Did this the other day don’t know for sure if that was a good idea b…
  • Not sure the game could survive their loss.  After all years stands to reason they are by far the best heeled players in the game.  Wonder how much of the real estate they own or control.  Shard bound may have concentrated most of them in Atlanta ba…
  • Enjoy the game while you can.  Not looking forward to learning a new game but handwriting appears to be on the wall.  Sorry UO.
