Introduction/Question

[riant]

Hi everyone. I just started a few days back but have logged many hours already. I played alot from 99-2001. I played on Chessy mostly under a character called Riant. I spent the bulk of my UO career as a rares dealer, house placer, and then axer.

I have a couple of questions that I've researched a little and can't find a ready answer.

1) The websites says the error contains era-authentic bugs. One of the first thing I did when I got my account was...well I don't want to clog the shard with too many people trying this but let's just say it involved a gorilla and an NPC. I guess you would sort of call this an exploit, not a bug. Are some bugs/exploits fixed, or am I thinking of the wrong era where you could do that?

2) I also have a feeling that axer's with gm lumberjacking isn't as good in this era as it was when I played it? I played much of my time in T2A, but also some of it was UO:R and I can't remember what exactly was at which time.

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to see you all online

1. No clue. I do think, though, that the era accurate bugs are not exploits, nothing that would hurt gameplay.

2. Lumberjacking gives no damage bonus to axe wielders.

I second what Chum said...

You played Chessy in '99? What guilds were you in and what was your town?

I played in numberous o/c guilds but my main guild was TKF out of Trinny.

Honestly I don't remember. I started off pretty much as loner with a couple of rl friends. They dropped out and then I made a few online friends but never joined a guild in my early days. Then I got "online rich" via the rares market. Never had anything is valuable as flasks or what-not, but flipped lots of those old-school regs like eye of newt, magic items, etc. Had a shop on the road east of Brit. I was mostly into the economy at the time. I knew where all the best vendors were and had suppliers, and a house full of vendors where I would only let friends who would maintain their vendors put one in my house so the place stayed popular. I remember a big competitor of mine at the time was someone named Rowena. Alas, I forget many of the names from back then.

I eventually figured out how to house place, and was able to find spots on trammel months after housing opened up on there. Even some spots for small houses right outside Vesper. I placed a lot on Fire Island too. I used to sell "dragon banning houses" from Fire Island on ebay. My biggest victory was buying a log cabin and a small house next to each other on a spot I knew i could place a Tower. I was jumping up and town when I slapped that bad boy down.

Then I started picking up PvP'ing with a dude who's char name was Fury. He was the mage and I was the axer. We got into faction fighting and fought a lot against a guild called LoD, but I honestly can't remember my own guilds names, which I'm pretty sure we only created so we could do faction fighting.

I used to love the Terra Keep. I loved the magic weaps the green terras dropped. I remember the purple dudes were good for resist training. My wife had a 98 tamer and I would take her char down to dungeon behind it and tame mares. We'd also set up haystacks and wait for the balrogs to dump mana and then EV them. I went there as a ghost when I first joined uo2a and there was no one there, but I plan to check back when I'm leveled up.

So the axer/lj thing was UO:R? I know I had to have GM lumberjacking at some point.

No special weapon moves on two handers (crushing blow, para blow, and w/e the swords did)
No bonus to mage poison from having the poison skill
No Lumberjack bonus to axes
No Stun punching via anatomy/wrestle

Thats what I can think of that was introduced UO:R+ that is not on this shard.
