More like due to a guy loving up the server on purpose. I think they're going to give everyone an extra char slot and poo poo when it comes back. I say we all make stealth archers!

I always have one! :D

I had a baby which is why I stopped playing as much...there's a RL friend refreshing my houses for me. I'll try and arrange for him to hang in irc or something and arrange to give it to you.
We are UK based tho so time difference might be an issue

Nothing you can't easily fix really. Just take your time and learn the mechanics, then worry about sweet builds and saving maidens.

This game was a lot of fun from 1998 until about, what, 2003? You could definitely still have fun on UO:R and 3D, but it got a bit silly after that. It became more and more about your equipment and spell channeling weapons and a bunch of horseshit that made rich people better.

You big dummy!
Yep. Age of Shadows was 2003. It was kind of fun for a while but it just changed the game too much. EQ did the same thing about the same time and they both peaked when the respective expansions came out and then WoW killed everything else. UO team decided to just double down on the craziness and so they figured that people would definitely want Ninjas and Samurais and I guess they weren't wrong. Or the people who hated it left.. either way.

I really wish they'd just make an official Classic server.

Lots of people are in the "I wish I'd played this back in the day." boat but you just don't get the same experience from free servers.

And you won't from an official Classic server either. That poo poo is dead and it will never be the same. The reason it's not the same is because the newness of it all back in the '90s. Having an official Classic server will not change that.

I personally don't like the stun and all weird bonuses for inscription and stuff. It might be boring but I liked insta hit and mostly everyone playing a tankmage.

Half of my characters are still tankmages, they are totally viable here still.

On another note, with our new found character spots, I made a Tracking/Detect pk.

Detect Hidden
Tracking
Magery
Mediation
Eval
Anat
Wrestle

So I can track, detect, stun, but I have zero resist. Oh well, should be interesting to try out. I may end up dropping detect for resist, see how it all plays out. I did a bit of scouting yesterday and it's great to be able to recall into a dungeon and see if characters are like 4 screens away instantly.

Sounds like you'd like UO Second Age (http://www.uosecondage.com/). I love that shard but the population has taken a real dive in the last 12 months or so, probably because of UOF's popularity.

Did they change the way tracking works on this shard? I thought you could reliably find pc's with tracking even at 0 skill?

I think I played that as well. Definitely played Divinity and Angel Island with some goons, that was a good time as well. I was living with my brother at the time, I actually bought hosting to run an account through a proxy so we could both play (they had much stricter rules regarding accounts).

You can find people within 8~ tiles directly around you, with roughly a 40% chance of being successful at 0 skill. GM you have a 100% chance of finding people who are up to 4-5 screens away.

I think the biggest gains are when we are chasing someone and then lose them because of hiding/stealth or just get off screen momentarily.

From what I've heard, at 50 you get a 100% chance of being successful tracking, and then the higher it goes the larger the radius you can track. I'm able to track players who are quite a few screens away.

When they opened the cove 4 or whatever with the lions and werewolves I was there all day on my stealth/track/detect build.

Endless laughs as people got poo poo upon by spawn. Nothing better than revealing some guy who hit invis when he saw the huge train of mobs inbound on my rear end. Then loot him obv.
