Hello again... few more questions if I may.

Post by Zim. »

Yo, this is a great shard. I love hearing the old school music!

Havin fun. Just a couple questions.

1: Is the skillgain here sped up at all? Its reminding me of EA:UO. It seems really slow. I dont mind really one way or the other, im just wondering.

2: Am I correct in saying that the lower your skillcap is, the faster you gain skills?
For example. If Im training up a tankmage, should I train mage/med/resist first, or does it matter?

Thank you, and all your headz are belong to my spear.

PS: Can you swear ingame?

1. Skill gains are slow here, they are meant to emulate the timeframe...most agree they are quicker than what they were "back in the day" but no where near equivalent to most other free shards.
2. Skill cap doesn't effect rate of gain, as that is not era accurate.
3. You can swear in game, just have to watch the racial slurs and the overaly foul mouth. If you really want to get your "swear on" try the trash talk forums

There are no special weapon maneuvers here.

Check out the T2A wiki from the home page, it'll help you get a better understanding of the era if you've never played this era. (Hint: any other T2A free shards you have played are NOT era accurate).

Explain, now.
I didnt do anything special.
My HD crashed to I had to reinstall from scratch.

I downloaded the game from this link
ftp://server1.thefiebers.com/UO_T2A_Era ... taller.exe

Did the whole setup and "Full install" thing.

Then tried to run the game without patching. I got some major fuzzy screen and razor wouldnt work. So I patched to 5.0.1j and started to play.

BLAMO On the login screen stones2 played and all through the game the oldschool music was playing.
