Old time UO player with some newb questions for this shard

[stevedub40]

Hey guys,

First off, I would like to say that I really enjoy the "feel" of this shard. It really brings me back to when I first started playing UO back in 99. The only problem is, I forgot a lot of the rules and skill specific information. Hiding is one example I can think of, where back in the day you had to wear armor to GM. Is this the case on this shard? Also, are there special moves for dexter type weapons, like para blow for the spear, or concussion blow for the axe? Do you also need to have balanced stats on this shard for the mind blast spell? I think I may be confusing T2A with UO:R; It's getting hard to remember things in my old age lol (well I feel old, compared to when I started this game, 29 years old now )

I'm really excited to play on this shard, as it feels like I am starting the game all over again. I look forward to meeting all of you out in the field soon .

welcome to uosa.

you dont need armour to get better gains with hiding, i think you're thinking of stealth. you may get better gains in more crowded areas, however. the special weapon blows were introduced in uo:r, as was the importance of balanced stats. mind blast does damage based on the intelligence difference between the caster/receiver, not the difference between highest and lowest stat.

if you have any more questions, feel free to join irc (http://www.uosecondage.com/Chat). you might get a quicker response. good luck!
