UO Second Age

I assume from your self nomination and the excerpt above that you qualify yourself for this distinction? Why don't you give us your perception of what you contributed to the shard to be considered for the hall of fame? My bet is that it pales in comparison to some of the contributions of people who...

My personal opinion on inducting someone into the Hall of Fame for this server ... Not only should it be a person that made a difference to the server for a long period of time, but they should have played here for a long period of time. I can't see someone going into the Hall of Fame that has only ...

I nominate myself because even though I haven't played in a year, my presence is still felt ... Not many old players have been nominated, probably because very few people that currently play were around a year ago that remember what went on in the development stages. People I'd consider nominating o...

From what I've learned over the years (I've gone back for many free trials to poke around, like many of us have) - most US players migrated to Atlantic as population was declining. Other shards are left as "ghost towns" but make excellent farming locations (and when you have a nice huge s...

AOL Legends became Legends once EA/OSI lifted the 56k connection restriction from that server. For its first year or 2, you had to be either an AOL user, or running a 56k connection. A few people got around it, but majority of the playerbase was 56k. It wouldn't even show up on your server list if y...

Been a while since I've responded to one of these .... the lich lord room existed like that on osi/ea servers up until I quit in 2008 ... was something that wasn't changed. There is a chance that it still exists that way if you go on live.

More events = less actual game play. Players will only log on for events and it ruins the flow of what is going on in the world. I've been fighting for less events or no events at all for a long time. Every time we cut down on events more people decide that they have to play the actual game and fiel...

Tried both refers to testing both on the test center, which was actually done. And that tactic has already been beaten plenty of times, perhaps not by you, but by a handful of players both on test, and on live since the patch. Everything is based off of evidence because every server was different. W...

I failed to find where Derrick said the current one is more likely to be more accurate. I did however find him saying "whether its 0.75 or 1.0, we aren't sure" ... so why the hell make the change? I understand you may have found an new uber leet strategy Jaster, but please lay off the F5....

Colisseus, if you actually read Derrick's post in this thread, he says that we have evidence about many of the changes. We also know that there was delay, but the exact amount whether it be .75s or 1s was what we didn't know for sure. He also goes in and explains that this is the best the shard has ...

The stam based will be fine. Basically right now as I understand it, if you have full stamina, you swing a hally at 4.8s at 25 stamina. If you do not have full stamina, you swing it at the lowest stamina [1 or 0] which puts it upwards of like 6 seconds. The correction is going to take the percentage...

That's not exactly true ...

A lot of people seem to think debuffs are gonna be the end of all pvp. Keep in mind, there is a delay on casting them, just like every other spell. 2v1, you are gonna most likely die regardless of debuffs etc if you stay and fight vs 2 good mages. 2v2, if 1 is debuffing 1, the other can cross heal. ...

well i guess that makes sense if the timers are the same technically u should be able to cast g heal in time, but someone like a medi dexer with a katana does somethin like this weaken katana hit pull/lift weaken katana hit wouldnt something liek that over and over be able to interupt the g heal ev...

I think raising the delay while making all debuffs interrupt was absolutely retarded. It's just a debuff/hally fest out there This is not true. The reason you may be seeing it is because most of the mage pvpers here don't know any better. If you are killed purely on debuffs and hally swings, you ha...
