I think I played on Chesapeake - did anybody else interact with the Blobs (not sure if they were on other shards)? They were all named "Blob", had no hair/beards, wore no armor or clothes, fought/PK'd in big groups, and used spears for paralyzing, so this was after that feature was added in. I also don't think they ever typed messages to other players themselves, but they were really well-coordinated, so I think they used whatever voice chat was available in that era. I think the idea was to drop into a new server as a group and be able to cause some notable disruption and attract some attention before they even had enough gold collectively to accomplish much else.

I briefly tried to copy what they did, but only, like, one friend would do it with me, so it didn't work.

I played UO for several years but I never managed to become a grandmaster in any skill ever. I never learned how to play a mage, either.
