Sampires should be left alone. It is (arguably) the most popular melee template and thousands of account holders have one. While they certainly have some powerful advantages, there is plenty of content where they are at a disadvantage. The deve…

The lag on Atlantic Tram is worse during high activity periods, but is playable when the shard is a little more quiet. I've ultimately decided to move about 90% of my focus on the Fel side where there have been no lag issues and I've found the spaw…

I had a few successful runs today (40+ drops with potion) in Moonglow and Britain. And another awful (less than 20 drops) run in Skara. I didn't have any lag issues, even at prime time. This is shaping up mostly to be a city issue. Brit, Trinsic, …

Kyronix said: Which town were you battling in? Also to note the spawn scales with the number of players present. I concur with everything Keven has said. The spawn is dreadfully inadequate on Atlantic. I did two potion runs today, o…

+1 I loved that the drops were not shard bound for the pirate event. Did my farming on ATL, transferred drops to other shards to get rewards there. Allowed me to have some more viable characters on other shards so I can expand the horizon of group…

Prices will fluctuate through out the event. They will start high, but be a bit lower toward back end of the event when there are significantly more items for sale on VS. There are alot of good rewards for this event, so I am going to guess the pr…

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 …

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 …

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 …

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…
