Re: Dragon Loot inaccuracies

Victor: prove me wrong. As I mentioned, I went through this a year or two ago pretty meticulously, when there was data from 1999 available at archive.org. Don't talk trash and denigrate my hard work because you've done four minutes of research on a web page that's not relevant to our time frame. 4 ...

Re: Dragon Loot inaccuracies

The thread you listed is pretty useless. As the link you provided does not contain Dragon loot information. If you actually went to your link, you will notice "Hrm. Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived. It doesn't seem to be available on the live web, either. Want to search for all a...

Dragon Loot inaccuracies

Hello Everyone. Enjoying the server thus far, but have a couple small gripes. As I'm sure everyone "claims". I am a UO player from release to about 2003, and have noticed many inaccuracies for the era this server is trying to copy. I am slowly compiling a list, but I'll start with Dragon l...

Re: Hally hit damage and hit % have been nerfed

Using a coin example is a terrible comparison. Using a coin is a perfect comparison. A coin has a 50% chance of turning heads or tails every time it is flipped. A weapon swing is a 50% chance to hit or miss every time swung against an opponent with an equal amount of melee skill. The chance of hitt...

Re: Hally hit damage and hit % have been nerfed

I think what you are seeing is the really bad random code. My friend and I have seen how bad the code is when you get 4-5 misses in a row, or 4-5 hits in a row, which is proof of terrible random code as that is almost impossible in true random. I assume this server is using runUO's random code, whi...

Re: Step by Step Guide to SecondAge growth with examples

I am a long term member of a large (800+ members) Gaming clan, http://www.atfclan.com. I'm trying to drum up some interest for UOSA, I've been here for about a week and I'm not going anywhere. So if you start to see a few folks running around with names like ATFsomethinsomethin, That's us. Thanks f...

Re: Just wanna say thanks to the person that looted my stuff

Without coming off rude, this is why I played UO in 1998, and this is why I just joined UOSA couple days ago. The game plays with your emotions. There is risk, there is danger, it is unforgiving. Going out into a dungeon farming gold has its risk, from players and monsters. That's what makes this ga...

Re: UOSA VS IPY 2.0

One thing I just can't understand is: why is their player base so big? Better advertisement, perhaps? I love UOSA, but I'd like to see it growing! Now that I am pretty much fully committed to this shard, I'd have to echo that. The more I play here, the more I believe this is a way better shard than...

UOSA VS IPY 2.0

Hello Everyone, I don't want this to turn into a flame war, but need some opinion from each side. I am a old school 1997-2003ish UO player looking to return. I use to play on a free shard called Legacy back in 2005-2006. It was the most amazing PreUOR shard I have ever played on, with one of the mos...
