Lord_Frodo said: So how are people recharging these My impression is that they're not. They're either duping them; or relying on large hoards accumulated over the many years before AoS; or, I guess, some combination of both.

Whatever happened to that troll slaying katana someone mentioned about 15 or 20 events ago?

Priests of Mondain used to be all over, with a chance that any healer would spawn as such. I believe though that they only spawn in Fel now so look there if you don't see one anyplace else. I note that you don't need to do this quest to get into the…

Disagree, vehemently. Adding only permanent content gets boring awfully fast and nothing ever really progresses or moves, it just accumulates. Fantasy needs both. When you think about fantasy storylines, whether it's Elric, Game of Thrones, or Lord…

An even older event relic are Sherry's dead horses, located on the road east of Skara Brae (49 South, 28 West). This dates to the interregnum, when the realm was splintering and Sherry's coach was attacked on the road.

I would recommend that for consistency's sake, everything that isn't PoF-able have the "Brittle" tag. Even stuff like Imbued gear where another designation covers it, I still want to see that tag for consistency's sake. But this won't ever happen. A…

Mariah said: This event, as stated on the NPC's menu, finishes at 1 minute past midnight on September 1st. So, claim all your prizes before 11.59pm August 31st and all will be well. I would be interested to know who came up with the fictitio…

Treasures of Tokuno, in some form, should be permanent. It can fulfill several important needs. 1 - The gear you can get, while not great by modern standards, can be good for new characters/players. (And unlike the Virtue Artifacts, ToT can be done …

Good to know this still might work, It was how we "fixed" a lot of login problems back in the old days. It's bad to know that it came to this, though. As to the quests "being" in this folder, I don't have the impression it's quite like that. More l…

It's bizarre to me that they wouldn't either make an announcement at least a couple of days in advance or remove the content in such a manner as to not cause crashes. Or both.

The power creep train left the station a long time ago. If you are going to have "reward" items that are inferior to stuff you can get from normal gameplay then you are going to have "reward" items that no one wants. It's that simple. The good new…

Welcome back. For finding a guild specifically on Chesapeake, their forum is here:https://forum.uo.com/categories/chesapeake And don't let the haters (even, sometimes, me!) keep you from having fun. There's still lots of fun to be had.

The last thing they have said in public is that it's based on looting rights, which is determined by a combination of damage dealt, damage taken, and damage healed. The items are distributed randomly among all who got looting rights, pursuant to tha…

I actually didn't hear them say this. The newsletter should be kept because of all the reasons others have said. As much as I don't see the point of the video chats I also don't see how they're incompatible, or how either, or even both, somehow robs…

If you don't like the size of your shard you can move your character to a bigger shard.

This post will be long by Internet standards but in not making it longer I'm already going to be glossing over some points and skipping others. There's no way around either. All I can do is that in the editing process I didn't leave any sentence…

I continue to maintain that the new shard is a depressing waste of resources. Is this the correct thread to attempt to explain why?

Seen you around with GOF so obviously you've found your crowd. Welcome back/aboard/to the shard/whichever is appropriate.

Damn it. Mine are spelled properly. I never get the cool stuff. Oh well.

You do events on 23 different servers? (9+9+5.) Same template every time? Wow. You're a much better, and much more dedicated, player than I am. How do you keep track of which storyline you're playing at any given moment? Do you port the character ar…

New content (stuff to do, reasons to play) is what's needed. The current mechanics you speak of are one way to get that and their presence should be praised -- kinda sad to see it criticized. New mechanics can be interesting for some but they caus…

Sometimes the EC runs better. If you like the CC but the EC runs better on your system, and/or you like the features, you can play with the settings in the EC until it looks a lot like the CC.

Have a guildmate cast some kind of curse or debuff on it. Wait for that to wear off, and/or Remove Curse on it.
