  • shootgun said: Dude, I have literally run into at least 11-12 AFK scripters/multi boxers since yesterday. How did you even get caught? last event.  i got flagged i think 3 times during the whole event (while alive)  i run around alot an…
  • PlayerSkillFTW said: Feudal Kabuto - I see the devs took my recommendation of adding a transmoggable version of the Ancient Samurai Helmet, since that graphic was otherwise unique to an outdated piece of gear. nice writeup overa…
  • Lord_Frodo said: Holumer said: I was not talking about production.  New legacy, as said in the title...... What do you think you are going to be killing in NL to amass 30M?  Also remember the shard gets wiped every year.  If it is p…
  • its legal in any country VPNs are legal.  EAs losing a ton of money, i dont know anyone who pays 60 anymore when you can get them for 12-15 easily.  without getting into details, codes that cheap directly contribute to in game inflation.
  • poorly thought out.  rewards should have been much higher points, or eggs much harder to get.  there was little point to doing the event yourself unless you were doing it AFK.  i did it for about an hour, then seeing how worthless all the items pret…
  • In the TOS, anything can be deleted at a whim.  or any account banned.  you dont own your items, broadsword does.  As a rares collector, the safest items are officially sanctioned, mean EM items.  but even those can and have been changed.  spellbo…
  • Mariah said: You did read the date on that newsletter link I posted?The items have always been illegal, just someone decided to actually report them this time. it specifically says only cloth items.  yes, cloth was made illegal over 5 y…
  • its a slap in the face to anyone who did the original content, but thats UO.  its always been like that.  blackthorns dungeon hands out basically free artifacts when it took days / weeks to get the original.   stuff is re-released.  server births be…
  • lets be real, its because most UO players are old.  and ugly.  myself included. not popular streamer quality.  and why stream if your not trying to gain an audience?   40 year olds streaming for like 3 viewers of a low population game isnt something…
  • Arnold7 said: I got my seed money selling forged pardons from treasure chests and mysterious fragments when their price was high.  You can also sell drops from events.  But the real gold is in buying and selling.  That might not be true for…
  • still broken.  it would be nice to have a dev response even if they arent going to do anything to fix them it would be better to know.  a much better description of how the timer functions is needed right now its not intuitive at all even for a vete…
  • sweet spot is around 18-20.  my archers / throwers are more than fine with around 14, mages i like at least 18.  your not going to see a huge difference between 20-30 usually not worth sacrificing other mods unless maybe your a bard.
  • Helper said: Finally, some means for players to sell items above 175m on shards that they do not have a home should be introduced. This can either be an increase in the price cap for non-commission vendors, or to introduce a 3rd option at the…
  • the new auction safe changes also contribute to inflation. since the change, over half the items for sale are basically off the market.  which means less competition, meaning higher prices. also means that 5 percent savings by using 60 min auction…
  • Lord_Nythrax said: Seth said: Smoot said: store items contribute to inflation, but also allow those who dont want to spend time in game to essentially buy gold (sell UO store item for gold) This doesn't cause inflation. It just mo…
  • i feel like people who think its broken just arent great at making gold, and refuse to buy UO store items to sell for gold. id say overall UO economy is better than ever, easier to make gold.  easier to spend gold.  healthy inflation (sign of stron…
  • Grimbeard said: Unhappy LS players or Unhappy off shard scavengers?  dunno.  when the EM placed the gate most the characters who actually completed the spawn / boss were auto-attacking throwers.  doesnt really matter, normal events have a…
  • MinocMiner said: JenniferMarie said: “Buy Now” has a 5% fee, but the fee structure on auction safes isn’t the point here and trying to deflect, redirect, or gaslight isn’t going to change the fact that someone screwed something up or c…
  • Pawain said: Grimbeard said: Grabs popcorn to watch yet another developer train wreck in action.. Sounds like they fixed an exploit that players were using to not have to pay fees.  But they are allowing players to do it on 10 safes…
  • again, your missing the point.  the change wasnt announced anywhere so most will just think their broken.  and means an 5.25 percent increase passed on to the buyer.  so an already costly rare or armor piece will just cost more.
  • MinocMiner said: Sounds like this wouldn't be an issue if you used 7d timers and set BIN prices instead of exploiting 60m auctions on hundreds of safes to avoid paying BIN fees. thats not really the point, this wasnt announced anywhere an…
  • confirmed.  checked multiple houses with over 12 auction safes.  looks like only 12 auctions can be active at one time on 60min auctions.  this is a pretty big blow to traders.  there has to be a better option please fix this situation.
  • also noticed one safe is auto-renewing, but every 10 mins.  which isnt an option to choose. and, if the 5 min timer was implemented to prevent the bug where gold was being lost if auctions ended at the same time, then that only gives 12 slots set t…
  • Grimbeard said: Tyrath said: Grimbeard said: Smoot said: my characters from 97 - 2000 were gone when i came back in 2004-5ish.  called about it but nothing they could do.  altho they did give me account age (for vet rewar…
  • so people are going to have to take a day off work to just to use auction safes.  100 safes (many players have many more than 100), 500mins, putting one item up every 5 mins is over 8 hours of just waiting for timers.  thats if the timers actually e…
  • im all for gold sinks, but i think the biggest gold sink is really vendor fees.  ive sold at least 10plat off commssion vendors and thats 525m gold gone forever to fees.  and im just one person.  id love to see some gold sinks in 1-10 plat range. …
  • my characters from 97 - 2000 were gone when i came back in 2004-5ish.  called about it but nothing they could do.  altho they did give me account age (for vet rewards) or maybe accounts just aged back then even if you werent subbed.  whatever the ca…
  • Mariah said: popps said: I seem to have mentioned "normal, average" players vs. "power gamers".... Hence, how many UO players might know about the upcoming need for Green Thorns thus having time to plant seeds and start growing plan…
  • do you need the rustic themepack to use a raised garden bet?
  • as others said, yeah Classic doesnt use a graphics card.  sad thing is, classic still runs better with no card than EC with a top of the line graphics card.  massive memory leaks in EC, even with the best card wont see much of an improvement to game…
