UO Second Age

I don't really buy the 'boosting' tactic during pvp to be honest. Placing blocking items below a mobile's feet is known to be inaccurate on UOSA since it was not possible back in the day due to the server rejecting it when it was attempted. There are only a couple possible ways that this could be a...

A minor thing somewhat related to this: It used to be that if you wrote a long enough book (I don't remember the length), and put it on an NPC shelf, it would start circulating like the NPC books. It takes a while to notice since the original books are so plentiful and thus take over the respawn, bu...

I didn't find it odd that a guard could reveal, just thought it was funny that he was shouting out loud, "Reveal!" I think, in the past, two guards would just show up and attack, regardless of whether the target was hidden. Ahh ok, I reread your post above. I thought you had meant that yo...

All Names and "Show incomming" are late(er) additions to the client as well, though I dont know for sure if they were in T2A (unless you cound UOassist, which I seem to remember having an "incomming names" option. Both of those were part of T2A. I never used UOAssist, but I had ...

Try doing this with another character nearby, and check his journal. I think the NPC is calling guards, but you're not seeing it because you are are dead, it might be a problem with the order of the packets that are sent. Guards reveal just like players do, it's skill based; a comparison of your hi...

A different funny thing... I attacked a couple times while hiding. Guard appeared right on top of me (speaking of which, remember how they used to always appear in pairs, flanking the criminal?), and then said Reveal! 6-7 times before actually revealing and killing me. Interesting, UO:R maybe? I've...

Hmm this is very odd. Also you bring up a very excellent point. All NPC's on screen should call guards on you, Here right now they don't, it's only the NPC that you flag that end's up calling guards. So yea, above I was talking about melee combat only, not ranged, although ranged works the same way...

Slightly off screen the NPC and attack, NPC will call guards. Guards are ranged so they don't appear. NPC does not engage in combat (questionable weather they should or not, I think they should). Kill NPC, do not re-attack. Loot black sandle's. This works just fine. You will get guard whacked if ot...

I've been looking through old patch notes trying to confirm one way or another, but maybe one of ya'll already knows the sure answer. Back when I played T2A, I remember a trick that allowed you to attack in town without guards being called. If you dragged their health bar, then moved off-screen to a...

I did for a while, but not as "Will." My main WoW char was Sayis, and I played on Dragonblight.

I remember Will, now that you mention the name. I wouldn't have thought I was all that memorable outside my own guilds, and maybe a few TBers like Chrae and Jessie. My main schtick was exploration, which was good for guild parties and such (jousting on top of British's castle, races through the Yew...

Well, isn't this nostalgic... My main was Will, of the Crusaders of Light (C^L), formerly of the Order of the Blackguards (B*G). Guilds in a perpetual war to "defend" Trinsic from the Borrowers. I remember as a total newbie joining my guild in laying siege to the TB in their little house o...
