Excelsior

230 here

Islanor wrote this in another post I just wanted to second the idea. I've seen this at work in other games and servers and it works very well.

And on a slightly different note - I think that adding various 'consumables' would make for a great gold sink. Things that disappear on use that allow you ...

Oh I would also like to mention another way this hurts newer players. I farmed in gauntlet for my first time the day before the changes were made. In 2 hours I made more money off artifact drops, and the boss dropped items then I did gold. Close to 5:1 actually.
These bosses drop some great low ...

Hey all, just thought I'd add my two cents. I like the idea of no gold, provided the artifact drop rate stays the same. Increases artifact drop rate will decrease their value and again, make it pointless to go there. That being said I would like to mention the problem isnt with doom gauntlet. Many ...

1) Have you played on any other shards before Excelsior? If so, which ones? (to get an idea of your UO first impression)
Numerous other shards, both free and subscription osi. Dragoness, TaR, Several others over the years.

2) What was the initial draw of Excelsior for you?
Most of the custom ...

One of the best items in the game is a stealable doom artifact. Lockpicking is also extremely valuable here if combined with good rune books and cartography for treasure map hunting. We range from 100-250 and I regularly see 200 accounts online, and I dont think I've ever seen it go below 130 or so ...

any staff advice? I've tried everything listed on the site and tried multiple solutions given from players in game. I've even tried running the client with earlier windows compatibilities, and full uninstall/reinstall.

Yeah everything you need is on there. But just to clarify you will need the Mondain's Legacy expansion, the UO EXcelsior Freeshard client, and the server address changed in your login file (or via razor). If you played on osi back in the day and never had the chance to use razor I highly recommend ...

There were 3 open seats in TC this week. One of which was still there last night when I logged in. One was grabbed by myself =P

I'm having issues getting this to work on Win8. I've done every possible step multiple times and am not getting any results. Please help, this is not my first time changing a hues for uo and I've never had problems before. So Im thinking its a win8 problem

ziiiiiing!

Its a huge profit gain if you can get the gems. Its the main reason why I [claimall. Then Every half hour of fighting or so I spend about 3-5 minutes dumping trash which nets me a ton of tokens. 3 days of my regular farming after purchasing a gem pouch netted me a whopping 22k gold worth of gems ...

Oh and sorry if the topic title is misleading. A compendium is a list of things relating to a specific subject. As a new player I composed a list of things relating to how I feel the shard could be improved based solely on my opinions.

I do not feel that [claimadd would debunk the economy in any ...

I agree with everything Ilsanor said. And I wasnt directing anything towards you Asmodean. You mention something is against the rules and leave it at that, which is perfectly acceptable. Like Ilsanor says though some people just take it too far and start threatening staff action and just being very ...

Greetings all,
First and foremost I write this with nothing but the utmost respect for the server players, staff, and admin. This is just meant as a way for me to share my thoughts thus far. I've been here almost 3 weeks, play daily, and am planning on staying. It seems frequently servers can get 1 ...
