*I* rofled... quit literally. I collapsed from waves of abdomen-destroying laughter for probably a minute or two.

There's nothing quite like the juxtaposition of proper spelling and grammar on the one hand with something like "OMG U SUK FAGGIT!" on the other.

Well, yes and no. If you have one window up, then every razor app you open past that will be a copy of it. So if you have 3 up, and you make a macro for one character, it will not appear on the others till they are closed and reopened OR you right click on the macro list and hit "refresh macro...

I've got a magery/resist macro I've run that works like this (rough pseudocode): 1. Check hit points and magery; if high enough cast lightning bolt on self 2. Check hit points; if below a certain number cast "Greater Heal" on self 3. Check mana; if below a certain point, meditate. 4. If su...

I'm pretty sure it's just a stamina regain, with a limit to how often you can do it in the form of "hunger." In other words, paradoxically, not eating is probably better than eating, since if you really need to get some stamina back, you can eat as much as you need. Someone tell me: in wha...

You stay logged out or in guardzone just because Onslaught is online? Jesus. I was soloing a rescue mission with Onslaught within my track radius. A little unnerving, sure, but don't you think avoiding the entire server just because particular people are online is a bit extreme? A bit... cowardly?

As I said before, PKs don't ruin the game... they MAKE the game, for guys like me that want to play a meaningful "good vs. evil" (or at least Law vs. Chaos) game. Just yesterday, I went, for my first time, to Brit GY... not to hunt, but to camp PKs. I stood around and watched a newbie farm...

Perhaps better would be to teach folks how to make macros in general. I shall demonstrate the principle by illustrating the process by which I made my lumberjacking/shaft making macro. Initially, I tried out kurai shinzou's macro, but adapted it to make shafts, rather than boards. The problem is kur...

I've got a bag full of magic stuff I've accumulated over time, mostly off the corpses of orc mages, a few liches, and out of chests in hostage camps. I figure it might be good for miscellaneous stocking of a player vendor... but I have not identified the items, so what you get is what you get. Make ...

That's weird. If you've never logged in before the only way I can think of that happening is if your name is already taken. Try a different login name, or maybe add some aolspam numbers.

Hrm... just did a little python script to calculate the mean damage per strike for both... and it seems they both have a mean of 25, only crossbows are slightly slower and do more reliably "average" damage due to using a larger number of smaller dice. So I guess the next question is: do ta...

Yeah, "Trammel" and "Felucca" being the name of the moons of Britannia goes not only further back than the introduction of the Trammel and Felucca "facets", it goes all the way back to Ultima 4... and maybe even 3! :o So wait... you mean there actually WAS a time when t...

I know this shard is all about era accuracy, but I am generally disinclined toward systems designed to favor a lack of experience and/or sense via game rules. I tend to believe that a shard's culture (as relates to newbies or otherwise) ought to be defined by its playerbase... NOT by its rule set. A...

Covetous. I can get all kinds of feathers there.

And with those differences come conflict, which leads to the need to find a way to resolve that conflict, when the two playstyles come to clash. It is this conflict, and the many possibilities it gives rise to, that brings me to a server that allows unrestricted PvP, but is not necessarily exclusive...

I went over to the weapons page over at stratics, entered my stats and skills, and found that crossbows would have a slightly higher DPS than either bows or heavy crossbows. Should this be accurate, or are there damage and timing differences between OSI and SecondAge that would render this informati...
