  • How long will the Shadow's Awakening event be running for?  Specifically the Manifestation of Evil spawns from Treasure Maps.  Is this running along the same timing as the new graveyard drops and finishing at the end of November?  It's not entirely …
  • I use Vendor Search dozens of times each day (sometimes hundreds!) - and I simply do not experience any of the problems of the OP.  Yeah, sure - there are days the queries run very slowly and will timeout without producing results, but those issues …
  • https://massivelyop.com/2024/09/26/ultima-online-devs-are-working-with-classicuo-modders-to-rehab-the-ancient-client-and-renderer/ This has now been mentioned in MassivelyOP...
  • I did ask around in a couple Discord groups and was told 1) the defensive wrestling does work with both spellbook and shield;  2) defensive wrestling from ant + eval doesn't defend quite as well as if you had actual wrestling skill (tests inconclusi…
  • October is a week away - tease us with some deets!
  • Apologies for resurrecting an old thread...  but was hoping to get some clarity on defensive wrestling. Are you able to equip both a spellbook and a shield and still get the benefit of defensive wrestling if you have Evaluate Intelligence and Anat…
  • While not an option, I think the final roof boss encounter is one of my favorite fights in the game.  First times through, it was very difficult until you learned the mechanics of each boss.  I had suggested some years ago the possibility of adding …
  • Another reward idea would be a rideable pack horse.   Similar function as a rune beatle, just with some type of horse graphic instead.
  • Tati has been doing tavern nights for many years now.  Stand up gal all around.
  • This would ultimately hurt subscription revenue, so it would never be implemented.  I currently hold 80 accounts, but only have playable characters on seven of them. The rest of the accounts are for house holding. All accounts are fully paid - no …
  • An earring slot item comparable to Solaria Secret Poisons , but with DCI and another skill Mace Fighting and Fencing equivalent of Captain John's Hat / Hunter's Headdress Mystic equivalent of Drogeni's spellbook Some unique dyes Cinderella said…
  •  Joxxer the Mighty was not only one of the pillars of the community, but a stand up guy who often looked out for others instead of always attempting to make a buck. There were several times he helped save a property in the UWF township and informed …
  • My first fully completed character was a miner that used to hang near Minoc.  Had Max strength , Mining and Blacksmithing, some basic Swords/Tactics/Healing to deal with ruffians (most of which still would get the best of me - especially during the …
  • MarcusOfCanopies said: Thank you all! I'm currently having a blast! Is there a Discord server? I found several links but they seem to be all expired! Hail and well met!  Welcome back Happy to answer any PVE type questions you have.   I h…
  • Go for the metal piece.  I'm a big fan of the Stamina protection if you have enough pieces to get the bonus.  Good luck with the build!
  • You can't take all the risk out of shopping in UO.  This is no different than real life.  Stealing is a feature of the game.  It was added specifically for a reason.  While the change to the scrolls is welcome, changing description setting rules for…
  • Bumping the resists on the Visage was step in right direction, but feels like this still needs one more mod. Keep the HPR and Hit Points, and add Strength.  Would then be an item that could be used by just about any template, and isn't outrageously …
  • Keven, I did not attempt any Fel hunting yet. Will try that tonight hopefully. Void Pool was already above level 30 when I joined in.  I will give that another look to see how it works at lower levels. Regarding mods on the Visage, one of the thing…
  • Some thoughts on spawn rate:- is anything being planned to handle server load for the Void Pool area when this goes live on Atlantic?  I can see this being a major lag fest.  Drop rate was decent on TC with medium sized group, but it's going to be d…
  • I have a Mace and Shield Paladin Warrior which runs the following:  120 Mace Fighting 120 Tactics 100 Parrying 120 Chivalry 090 Healing 090 Anatomy 080 Resist Spells   I run with slayer sets of Barbed Whips and Hammer Picks for weapons. Human race. …
    in Macer Builds? Comment by Merlin March 30
  • Bots are going to show up regardless of how many events there are and at what times.  This proposed change (from a troll) will create yet another situation where a change ends up helping bots and hurting actual players.
  • +1 on the concern that so many events are being held on a major holiday.  I get it that it's the usual end of the month rush of EM events for shards that haven't had drops yet and Easter was very early this year, but seems excessive that there would…
  • EM Mayhem said: Greetings Merlin! We do apologize for missing this months meeting. Sometimes life gets way out of control! At our last event on Monday, someone did mention it was Easter Sunday, realizing our folly we agreed on the spot to po…
  • EM Mayhem said: Apologies, due to unforeseen events, Sunday's (the 24th) Royal Council meeting has ben rescheduled to Sunday, March 31st. I'm sorry but that's not fair to everyone who attended last night. We stayed the full hour waiting fo…
  • I can speak from experience as a moderator on Stratics that it is a thankless job.   Do not underestimate the non-sense that forum moderators have to tolerate behind the scenes with nasty PMs, obtrusive personalities, and always having to deal with …

  • Weren't the Yukio's glasses already offered twice in the last two years including the Counterfeit Commodities event that was super easy to get drops?  Are there none reasonably priced available?  We need more unique items, not repeats.
  • Mayhem Hail and well met!  Considering Sunday is the end of the holiday weekend and will be quite busy, would it make more sense to do your first meeting after the elections in early to mid December?  I think there will be more motivation for turn…
