I leave the crystal ball of knowledge on when I train. I get gains most often at the optimal and easy ratings. I usually switch to a skill that has a probability of 45% or so when very easy starts to come up so I don’t get challenging that often. …

Merus I am pretty positive you are right. That is the way I have always understood it. Best chance for gains is a probability of success from 45% to 75%. That’s why I mentioned earlier your chance of a gain depends on the skill and what you are d…

Characters will still be able to gain skill points in the normal use-based fashion – GGS will simply be keeping track of how long it has been since you had gained a point of skill and award you a mandatory point (as in 0.0 to 0.1) if…

Think the skill and how you train it makes a difference. I train mostly fighting skills and regardless of which one I am training have never gone an hour without a gain. Usually without a scroll get about .3 or .4 an hour at higher levels. I know…

Have to agree.with your comments about UO. Have been playing about 4 years now. It’s an old game in all respects including the thinking that goes into it on the part of the development team, sorry team. Recent posts in this forum concerning issue…

There isn’t any power hour. For most skills you can get to 90% in less than a week if you play let’s say 4 hours a day or so in New Haven. I would not recommend getting the mythic token if you are a new player and putting in the time. I think the…

I also wonder about how the small team will manage two games at once.
-
If you want an recent example. Look at how the “surprise, it’s over” July 1st ending date for collecting eggs was handled by the team. You won’t have to look to far back to find the discussions posted here.
-
I don’t have a problem with macros but when the macro gets to the point that it plays the game for you while you just monitor the screen without any interaction at all that is going to far.

The risk vs reward factor just is not there. And, I now don’t see a lot of the players I used to see a couple of years ago. And, the inflation has gotten so out of control if you don’t have a house and a vendor to sell the drops and rewards you get…

They did in Trammel and Malas too. Maybe not in the same exact spot each time. If you just waited around, you could collect eggs from the same location or just come back to it over and over. Respawn time might have varied.

Everyone feels differently about it. Some don’t care to play against real people they do it enough in real life. Some like the challenge of playing against others. Don’t think anyone looks forward to getting killed or being cheated. Anyway, we a…

Thanks have an extra now.

Finishing a couple of characters and reducing inventory. Created a character on Atlantic just to see what things sell for there and to look around. May explore a few other shards. Maybe do a few treasure chests on my home shard.

Have to agree with Yoshi. This is a game forum. Do not think the original poster intended for this to become a discussion about policing.
-
That pretty much describes the situation with the bots. Upon recalling in, they identify the egg, run directly towards it, grab it and recall out before a human recalling in can move the mouse in the direction of the egg. Some are slower and if th…

I am not sure scripters affect the price of items that much on my shard. I watch prices very closely and for routine drops the price usually does not vary all that much over the duration of an event on my shard. But scripters do make a lot more go…

Don’t be so sure it’s on your end. Sometimes when I logon it just freezes up when I try to move. Time of freeze varies. Pretty sure it is on UO’s end. My house is near a server line and it is always jerky for the first minute or so after logon.…
-
Yup, created a character on Atlantic in addition to my full character set on my home shard. Had no idea I could do that. Have to change my opinion on NL somewhat now. Had wondered were it’s player base would come from but since I now realize all U…

Yes the more intelligent paras know who is doing the most damage. But when it works it’s hard to beat. Found it very effective on bosses. Sometimes a retreat is called for but usually after healing I can get back in and use it again. Key is to he…

Wraith form, high spirit speak, mage mastery death ray and the appropriate slayer book equals tremendous damage when whatever you are fighting is stationary and not attacking you.

Myself not impressed that much by 120 throwing. Think throwing works great on the lower end spawns but RC maybe supported by throwing on the bigger stuff. Don’t use him that much to tackle the big stuff so others should give you a better answer. I…

Thanks. Been playing for almost 4 years now and did not know I could have additional players on other shards. Always thought it was a maximum of 7 players across all the shards. Still can’t believe this is true. Will be setting one up on Atlanti…
-
Just want to make sure I have this right. Everyone can play on the NL shard regardless of how many characters they have on other shards. So if I have maxed out the number of characters I have on my home shard, I can have an additional character on…
-
Thanks for the warning. Was disappointed the artifact collector was not up for a few more days. after the end of the event. Would recommend to UO these kinds of characters be left up for a few days after the event ends. Thought they were in the …
-
I would not say this event was all that bad but it had some serious flaws. Maybe players per shard had something to do with that. I play on one of the more moderately populated shards and thought it played more or less as intended. These are my c…

Thanks Norry. Never imagined I could do that.

Read that UO has 27 shards. Are you saying I can have six characters per shard for a total of 162 in game characters for my $10 a month? No was not aware of this. Have you done this?
-
I only have one account so I don’t have an extra player to play on the NL shard. And, I don’t have the time commitment either. I don’t see any long term benefit from playing on the NL shard. I do see some of the established player base going that…
