I would say thank you for busting that Siege players like to perpetuate about themselves, but this myth is largely fact-resistant. *shrugs*

I've made suggestions for years that there should be a Paladin mount, even one that didn't soak damage but was just....More traditional "Paladin" than our current options. (War horse type of mount, but not Faction-related and live, not ethy.) Some…

Norry said: By having a gold sink, something not needed, and deco only, gets gold out of the game, causing prices to drop, because there is less gold. The best thing for new/returning players is to get gold out of the system, so that gold the…

The "economy" of a game doesn't need to work as an economy. It has to work as a game mechanic. In real life there can be all kinds of problems with concentration of wealth, inflation, wages not keeping pace with costs, employers being able to old …

Focus Attack....Wow that takes me back. Many years ago there was the implication that this spell was actually far more powerful than we realized. Folks would brandish weapons at the bank with almost all of the item properties doubled. Periodically…
-
My feeling is that as soon as you make a character a mage, you should go Meditation instead of Focus and use meddable armor. Accept the lower LMC cap. Focus at this point is sort of a niche skill. For example, I can only play fighters. I have 2 …

One of many problems UO has is the fact that the mere defining of what is and is not a bug becomes an issue among certain players. Even a pretty basic definition somehow becomes a club. This thread isn't even the greatest example.

The only publicly-available documentation I know of for the reward drops from this spawn is here: https://uo.com/2020/10/02/the-black-gate-champ-spawn/ the statement, and it isn't much, is: [[Final reward drops from the Black Gate Champ Spawn are li…

*sighs* This is how we know that the Cube was more-likely intended to be the "participation reward," and the talisman to be the "final reward drop." Here is the statement from UO.com; [[Final reward drops from the Black Gate Champ Spawn are limite…

We've gathered data from players (didn't keep track of how many, sorry) across three shards. Not a single person we've spoken to has gotten any cubes at all after getting the talisman. Therefore a likely hypothesis is that they accidentally closed…

Throwing another voice behind Seth's question: Has any one actually gotten the cube mentioned on Stratics, or some other "participation" reward? Anything other than the one-per-account-per-shard talisman?

The wait is approximately half an hour from Batlin dying to Posts on Stratics identify the "participation" reward, which as described seems not to be limited, as a nifty-looking cube. I'm a little concerned that I've seen none of them though, aft…

Part Three: The Cultist Duncan left the library, stepped out into the chilly Britain air. It was darker than normal, for some reason, the street lamps cast more shadows than light, but Duncan thought nothing of it. He began to walk towards…

Part Two: The Past Few Months For the past few months, ever since he’d realized that the Fellowship’s voice was likely some kind of other-worldly entity, Duncan had spent every available day and week wandering from one corner of Sosaira to t…

[Also unite some dead shards with another(for more online on optimal server).] People who actually play on shard you consider "dead" would disagree. To players from Atlantic all other shards are "dead."

Lady_Storm said: Mervyn is close in what my thoughts are as well. So you also think we're dregs from the bottom of the barrel like he just said we were? Interesting perspective.

Norry said: If it has a lifetime, its not em related. Not correct -- EM plot only items could have timers for various reasons. I actually remember this character on GL. She was in charge of Trinsic during the inter-regnum and ranged fr…

Most-likely EM related. Are you on Great Lakes perchance? That sounds familiar.

From observation, as noted: Some monsters do still have a base, some don't. When the corpse says something like "a vile corpse" then most-likely that means the monster didn't have a base in the manner I'm talking about. Most on GL since the new sys…

Regarding what they're talking about....There have been changes to how event monsters are created and one consequence is that they don't have much in the way of natural loot. Based on Enemy of One in the buff/debuff bar, and based on corpse names, i…

"proper" MMO experience is extremely subjective. What's not subjective however is the simple truth that if you're looking for a huge population, with all good and bad that that entails, Atlantic is the place to go. But there is no reasonable defini…

I remember a long time ago on a different iteration of Stratics one of the dev team members posted in the thief forum, asking for suggestions from thieves about how to improve the skill. The catch was they couldn't involve using the skill the do st…

Once again, the thread was designed to make suggestions for permanent content that seemed relatively to put in, and/or put back in, as the case may be. For some reason my fellow players have found it necessary to insert such topics as graphics, new …
