I believe the players Popps is referring to don’t have access to the trade hub in Atlanta and won’t have access to the trade hub for many years assuming they continue to play the game. Appreciate that I will have an opportunity to buy items from th…

Not sure what you are talking about here. Could you explain to someone who has not been playing for years just what you are taking about. Don’t really know what a gold spammer is, never heard of a ghost cam and not sure how having an invisible ej …

Of_Beasts said: In the past, there have been "new" guilds that helped players get used to playing. The GM or active players in the guild would or could create quests for the new player. Send them on leather gathering missions, or mining missions …

Have to agree new players without mentors to provide them with the guidance on how to play their characters and the assets they need to survive don’t last long. For the most part UO ignores the needs of new players. Training consists of a numerica…

Invasion event went on much longer than the original memo said it would. It allowed younger and more inexperienced players like myself to learn how to play our characters, how to play with others, and most importantly its running for longer than pl…

Don’t really agree with this. Game needs full time and part time players to survive.

Most of mine attack whatever enemy is nearby. If you have the mastery, I don’t yet, you can control them. The amount of damage they do varies a lot but they can give you an opening to attack or to run away.
-
Yes you could go do that but even so there will be some left for the shard bound players. That’s not the case now on some shards.
-
Simplest solution just get a bus everyone without a shield that produces tokens can ride from one shard to another for a reasonable amount of gold and limit what a character can carry to equipped items, a back pack, and an unloaded mount or pet. Ha…

Just a note. You don’t need evaluate intell. to cast the spells in your last post
-
Not sure how you intend to use magery but if you intend to use it as support skill you might consider dumping eval intelligence for mysticism since your focus is right where it needs to be at 100, Mysticism does not require mendable armor. You coul…

This toon is pretty well balanced ether way skill wise but you need more mana if you are going to be casting direct damage spells one after the other. Faced the same problem with my first character. You have to decide if you are primarily a fighter…

Don’t quite understand all of the controversy here. Most players can already do this. What is everyone so afraid of? How would simply allowing a few more players visit other shards allow them to take advantage of every one else? Just don’t see th…

Was thinking of players like myself that have been playing the game In good faith for the first time. Don’t really have a problem with a waiting period of six months or a year before a paying player could make a purchase. But, 14 years seems a litt…

I think creating two classes of players one that can travel and one that cannot was a mistake that went a long way to create the problems the game has now. I don’t think a 14 year waiting period to get something that allows a player to do something…

At 90 don’t think it ever flails on treasure map chests. Sounds like dungeon chests have a different rule set. Are their levels more like the levels Ultima had prior to treasure map change to stash thru trove? Sounds like telekinesis still works …

Thanks

Necro. appears to be designed more as a support skill for mages and fighters than a standalone skill. I agree it does not have much hitting power alone. That really surprised me when I learned it. Thought it would have direct damage spells that c…

Thanks had wondered about that. Did not seem logical that spirit speak was required to see ghosts. But, it does appear that players with sprit speak can see the ghosts of players in either mode. Sorry for taking so long to respond.

Corpse skin followed by flame strike is very is also very effective.

You can get a lots of player’s bones using this technique.

This does not apply to butchers. Take them out before you deal with the mob or form the mob a safe distance away from them.

Have you used wither as a wraith? Stand outside the fence at a cemetery and give it a go after a crowd forms on the other side. You can drop the whole crowd including the knights in about 5 minutes.

My mage gets the slayer advantage from both kinds of books. Most mystic books do not have the slayer quality. Have not use the fey slayer that increases mysticism by 10 points so can’t comment on that ne.

Making items shard bound may be the first small step to taking some of the pressure off of the Atlantic server and getting players to spend more time on other shards. Based on what I have read in the forums about the problems players are having wit…

I am a new player starting two years ago Halloween. Never seen one of those for sale and I check several times a day. You are lucky as a returning player that you can travel from shard to shard to find what you need. I can’t.
-
Most current players have been playing long enough that they can freely travel from shard to shard. I can understand how these players would object to shard bound. Many of these players if they have something that is in demand will sell it where t…

Thanks

Yes the skeleton knights are a pain. Mage mastery while holding an undead slayer will drop one. If more I lead them away and then paralyze. Like their names.

Thanks Marge. It really makes a huge difference. 5 or 6 hits is all it takes.
