Re: Chat restrictions 3

I think there are enough restrictions on World Chat to make a trade channel wholly unnecessary. If people are time restricted on advertising stores, wtb/wts, and guild recruitment, that is enough to cut down on the spam. It's a small server with a moderate population. Sub-dividing it further into a ...

Re: Attracting and Retaining new players

The best point I saw on here is that you should teach newbies HOW to do something and not just GIVE them epic gear. There are some people who think they're being nice when they give out maxed pets and great artifacts, and no one taught the newbie how to feed the pets, or check their happiness, or tr...

Re: What does +Nyx look like in RL?

Player breaks a rule, player gets into trouble, player feels that they were somehow wronged by being expected to follow the same rules that everyone else has to follow, fuels the fire, then lashes out whether passive or actively aggressive. I wonder what the product of this whole trend will be...An...

Re: Jailed because i caught a Seer lieing

If posts like these are removed too early, the flamer invariably claims to have won by default via censorship to hide their 'truth'. Now, we can all see there was no 'truth' behind the attack, and that's worth seeing.

Re: Jailed because i caught a Seer lieing

Are you mad Reese, as in crazy? You're saying +Nyx doesn't deserve to be a Seer because you didn't get your own way on getting an item created for you that doesn't currently exist the way you want it? How many of us were told flat out NO by the last seer on things that we were later told by another ...

Re: Possible Event?

Strikes me as a little too close to real life violent themes and anti-authority / anti-police actions that are becoming more and more prevalent as the world economy continues to waffle. Please understand that the previous statement is not an invitation for people to justify why they hate authority. ...

Re: Bring Back Monthly Announced House Drop Day!

Negative Gold Leader - when you find houses with dead bees and old deco, make a rune and check it yourself. Pm the name on the house sign and see if it's still active. You get lucky or you don't. Saving up all the house drops for one day causes a frantic, hot mess of lag and meanness, grabbers, and ...

Re: Winter Holiday event!

Question:

Can we get the same deco items despite the difficulty level?

Or is it certain deco items for certain levels of difficulty, only?

Re: The shard politics

My view on politics is simply as follows:

Karma

There's no need for revenge.
Just sit back and wait.
Those who hurt you
will eventually screw up
all by themselves.
And,
if you're lucky,
God will let you watch.

Re: Server Population Going Down

Okay, I'm just gonna chime in right here.

And the parents are busy getting their kid...

Mismatched Paperdoll shadowing after patch

So, I turned off my virus scanner for a few seconds so I could download the patch without it being auto-deleted. Now, I found a visual bug with my character, which I do not believe was there before. In the paperdoll, with a light cloak background, my character has an offset outline, of what I think ...

Re: Champion spawn participation reinvented

I think the optional part is interesting because I've heard numerous rumblings of frustrations about the spawn rate not being supportive of the current population. That's why a lot of high population games have instances. Of course, UO isn't made for instancing, and it's not like we're at critical m...
