Ben said: The game being easier simply makes it easier, and less worthwhile to play. The world is a challenge. So should be our play. Nonetheless, it also needs to be considered whether that challenge means also a great expenditure of tim…

Garth_Grey said: I"ll even elaborate and tell the whole story. I"m sitting here in my house in Tampa hoping that Hurricane Ian doesn't wipe out the entire county, so I thought You know what, I'll go into Bedlam and goof off for a while, maybe…

Garth_Grey said: I can't just go with it, this infuriates me. I"m not looking for an All Kill easy button, but if I do everything right on my end, making sure my pet is fully fed, happy, healthy, horny, whatever..and I go into a dungeon, and …

Garth_Grey said: Why do mobs have to automatically target me instead of my gigantic pet which takes up most of the screen and inflicts the most damage on anything and everything ? Why do I have to command my pet 15 times to kill something be…

Mariah said: There is no simple solution. You can use 'legacy view' in EC to make it easier to see things when you switch clients. I suggest using dyes on your rune books and then targeting by color instead of position. The color code sou…

Seth said: @ popps I think you need to explain more details about what you think is a balance between a warrior and a thief. Example. Warriors to kill 5 top level paragons or 100 normal monsters to get 1 drop. This should be balanced by a…

Seth said: In real life, politicians created TV and entertainment to keep people from revolting. We are paying citizens of Britannia, and we pay our taxes every month. I am not sure why the Team is so quiet and inactive. Their cash cow and…

The problem, to my viewing, is not merely turning a switch to activate a "Treasures Of" Event but, rather, the issue of "New" Rewards to give to players.... Besides the fact that New Rewards can impact gameplay and, therefore, their Design needs to…

Yoshi said: “ @ popps what skill are you trying to gain? whatever it is I prob know a trick to get it to 120 quicker than you writing that post.” Thanks, but more about reaching an end, my argument is more about an in-game mechanics that …

Arnold7 said: Think UO gain system for most skills is based entirely on probabilities. With most skills what you are doing vs your actual skill level affects that probability. How often you perform an activity also affects your overall prob…

keven2002 said: Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th thread this person has started on this topic (all previous threads have been locked/closed)?? Wouldn't that be a violation of ToS @ Mariah ? It is quite a different argument... I am asking in…

Seth said: haha "at least to my finding, are not accurante and not reliable." Maybe you can share your table of actual gains, then we can replace the tables. It should even be named after you for the effort. I think I mentioned tha…

Urge said: My honest opinion is that Tram helped and hurt the population at the same time. It shielded the population from unwanted pks but also paved the way for all the afk farming we see today. With the lack of support there almost isn't a…

Seth said: The original storyline tells us the shards are what is unique to Ultima Online and they shall never be combined into one. Mondain the wizard captured the world of Sosaris in the Gem of Immortality. The Avatar (aka The Stranger / T…

Petra_Fyde said: What veteran reward I will get has no impact whatsoever on my decision to keep playing, and nor should it. I keep playing because I enjoy playing. When assessing the number of IDOCs one must also take into account 1. How ma…

Urge said: I meant opening another account for the event. Event ended, accounts closed, houses decay. If so, that would mean all these house would be falling on Atlantic.... assuming that so many players where able to get a House on At…

Urge said: Atlantic had a massive flux of people come from all shards for the destard event. The timing is about right for those accounts to go down and their houses to drop. I would assume most shards had some of the same. The fly by nighter…
