  • Have a nice walkabout!
    in Away! Comment by Tanager September 2018
  • Thank you, everyone who has contributed! NEW is good now The vendor will now be set to buying supplies for the upcoming Artisan Festival (when it has funds).
  • First, an EJ training mining is not a waste. While they cannot directly mine it, there are other ways to obtain raw colored ore (ant lion, various colored elementals that spawn without being mined up, etc) and they can use mining to smelt it. On a s…
  • For me, I have grown so weary of the numbers that I barely loot equipment. I check talismans and shields, and just leave the rest except for the rare occasion when I am looking for a specific thing. I hunt with friends, so there is not anything I ca…
  • Congrats, Cherokee!
  • The Dev team get a LOT of emails, and not a lot of time to reply to them. Perhaps one of them might sneak a peek at this thread and shuffle through the overflowing in-box to see if maybe this map project can get a quick nod. @Mesanna @Misk…
  • Most threats to our lands can be quelled with combat - defeat the foe for the safety of the kingdom, and perhaps earn something of value from the fallen enemy. This threat, however, is one of the very few that required a more... subtle approach. Of …
  • Peculiar creatures were seen wandering the streets of cities across the lands. There were reports of these creatures popping up around players and their homes. At first, there were suspicions of a party spell gone awry, leaving crackling pyrotechnic…
  • Thank you for the fun! This was a lovely welcome party for the revival of a shard institution. May NEW prosper in these changing times, and continue in the tradition of aiding new and returning players for many years to come. Of course, what wou…
  • Broadsword has not issued an updated list of approved 3rd party programs. This means they are still reviewing them. I would submit your map program, and continue to work on it. Once it is approved, then players can legally use it to test it out and …
  • I have dabbled in several other realms, but I always end up back in Sosaria. I think the most enduring thing about UO is that it offers a freedom of play style that other MMOs just don't. 1) There are no levels. I need a certain amount of strength,…
  • People can become defensive and aggressive when something new ''threatens'' what they are familiar with by claiming to be better in any way. Do not let this discourage you. People are free to keep using the old tools if they wish - until they stop…
  • For my opinion, I think it is fairest to continue doing as it has been done. This way all in the community - including helpers of NEW - can look thru the bags during the week. This would prevent any accusations of favoritism. A soul forge on the roo…
  • I am sensing a party. Yes... a celebration is in order!
  • A summation of the meeting with our Dark Lady and her royal court. A complete account, with the side comments removed and a bit of editing for typos, can be found on the Siege forums... elsewhere. This forum does not allow enough characters. Summer …
  • EJ is not a free to play model. EJ is designed to allow people to sample the game - in trial size portions. People can play UO indefinitely with EJ as if it was F2P, but they have to accept that their play style will be a simple life of farming wha…
  • T'was a fine evening on the town for the ladies of the land, with a few manly sorts along to protect our honor. Our designated driver (moongate operator?) for the evening was Rochelle the Rouser. Our first stop was a fine establishment called The…
  • Without the bribe system, a huge stockpile of BODs needs to be horded so that different sizes of smalls can eventually match larges. This is how it was done for many years, people are used to it, and see bribing as a waste of gold since they never "…
  • I am talking about the new player to player private messaging that UO has decided to call Global Chat, with complete disregard for how the entire rest of the industry (which invented both shard-wide AND private chat) uses that term. *sigh* It is no…

  • *sigh* I was not talking about Gen Chat....

  • I like to let them build up for a while and then fill them on a rainy day. For me, I am fine with using the BOD book's built in filters for size, quantity, and material. Most are going to get bribed up anyway. Instead, I separate them by the BOD its…
  • Hard to tell for sure, but from my experience this happens to EC when CC players have the corpse open before you can get your own display. It seems to have something to do with the 2 clients interacting. I never have the issue when hunting solo or a…

  • I am not saying the term does not make sense. But in this case, UO is NOT the first to use this nomenclature. We did not assign any name to our shard-wide public channel system, and we did not invent player-to-player private chat. Global Chat has be…

  • I understand why they call it global chat, and I do like the feature. My little issue is that the shard-wide chat system, as a whole, has no name. We just refer to the individual channels. In the minds of some one new to the game, it is thought of a…

  • You might be surprised how many new folks I have come across in my years who work to get the gold, place a foundation of their first house, build the walls. Finally, full of happiness and excitement, they clean out their bank of treasures, and go sh…
  • Welcome back, Coco, and have a safe move, Garth!
