  • A multiple key trigger that is well away from anything I would normally use. As I said a major risk but I am willing to and have changed password when I do screw up.
  • I just set up a keyboard macro. (keyboard software) It is a major security risk but one I am willing to take. Judge you own willingness to take that risk.

  • Every time this comes up I'm reminded of an interview I saw with the chief mathematician for the local lottery.  As he said the odds of 1,2,3,4,5,6, with the bonus number of 7 coming up are exactly the same as any other 7 numbers. Also the odd of t…
  • Standard answer I gave to new D&D player back in the day when they questioned the GM (me) about why they were suddenly dead.  DON'T STAND IN THE GOO.
  • In EC you can also skip the macro completely. Just drag any spell from any spell book to a hotbar  then right click it to select target (self, cursor or current target) right click again to set hot key.  Same method works for many items as well. F…
  • Just one comment  The site you source is an add service and I can't find any description of where they get their numbers. I know EA and the others do not release their numbers so I would be interested where the numbers come from.
  • Not an issue. If for some reason you think it is may I point out Magincia Pet Vendors.
  • Whats the fun of a dungeon crawl with nothing in it you have to run from?
  • Footwear for the the trade in / collection sets as in "boots of Ice" to make the manikins look complete. Also if it isn't already. Since it is a limited time event and may be never to be repeated. NO rare drops from the sets. I've gotten over 200 "…
  • Thanks Mariah I usually use a tamer with a blue beetle/whirlwind hence the piles of dead. But I'll have to take my melee  fighter out and give it a try. I have a harvesters blade but don't usually use it because I don't want the meat. I hadn't not…
  • A little off topic but since the wife burnt through 100k spined for that ------ elf I'm out harvesting leather again. As an exercise I was trying to come up with a macro to harvest the leather when I'm standing in a pile of lizardman corpses. The be…
  • Alkaseltzer said: I'd like to see the scavenger agent to stick what it picks up into a certain bag in my backpack. The "scavenger" agent has the option of setting a default container.
  • To make your case name another example of where you can do damage and not be revealed.
  • I like the idea because it is a way of getting the mid range logs. At the moment there is no way to get Oak, Ash and Yew other the just going out and log.  I'd actually really wish they would add maps for them and the "orphan" metals like dull copp…
  • Your right. After I did my rant I tried to log on and ran into the same error message  Hopefully they will get that fixed soon.
  • Just noticed UOGuide shows the last publish as 97!!!! I'm as guilty as everyone else but really. This is not criticism of the person/persons who got it back up and hopefully keep it up but everyone else. Not speaking for them but it's a wiki and up …
  • Thank the Gods of the internet it's back.  Now if only more people would invest some time updating and enter information on new content. It is a wiki after all.  And yes I'm as guilty of being lazy as everyone else put promise to try to update or …
  • ForeverFun said: Revisiting the behavior of the bard masteries would be interesting.  Not sure why you need to be partied to get the benefits, should be purely radius (e.g. what you can hear) based. A bagpipe band belting out the Clan bat…
  • I was thinking more along the line of just clearing out the clutter. Have you tried to find your body under some of the piles?
  • Do the Crystals have a use?
  • Pawain said: Tim said: Can you get more than one statue with the same character or is it only one per? I used a FWW Triton toon had a respond slayer. I can chain lightning a crowd in 2 or 3 hits. I did at least 10 with that toon an…
  • Can you get more than one statue with the same character or is it only one per?
  • I remember a post from years ago saying the problem is in the way EC handles the graphics buffer. A hold over from sloooow internet speeds and couldn't be fixed with out a major rewrite of the client's graphic engine.  That being said god yes pleas…
  • Someone came and took ALL the bones so I've shut down the exchange. The only reason I can think of for someone to do that is garbage points and I'm not going to put the effort in so some ass can be lazy. If I can think of a way to run it so people c…
  • Xris said: I was really hoping the "Unification event" was condensing to 1 client (while keeping 2d and 3d), and re-coding the game properly to fix bugs and exploits. So everyone says the codes so bad, yet they've had decades to fix it and ha…
  • I see little difference between "Gold Sinks" and Pay to Play.    Unless you can come up with a way to make sure the "gold" comes from the player not "Avatar" and his like it's not worth the effort. I can see the web having a sale on in game gold jus…
  • I think you are in the wrong place. That isn't a complaint. PS I agree
  • The bottom line is.  UO is a game and if to play it the player has to do too much they don't enjoy to get to the parts they do, they will quit and find a game they do enjoy. This applies to PvP, resource gathering or just grinding away at a spawn.
