Got me thinking, that would explain why you never heard of MS resist parties back in era. So apparently your resist gains should be based off damage taken. Anyone got anything to add to this?
Two, why did you never hear of GMing Eval and THEN GMing resist? You always heard people say to keep Eval at 0 to keep down healing costs, raise up Resist, then GM Eval.
If hunting was harder and more of a group activity, and with quite a deal more amount of people scavanging wool and cotton you could see why they wanted to keep damage to a minimum to cut costs.Silverfoot wrote:I honestly didn't hear that until I played on IPY.Mikel123 wrote: Two, why did you never hear of GMing Eval and THEN GMing resist?

There were 3,000 people on a shard at a time, I think. The people on this shard, UOSA, represent the upper 5 or 10% of the most sophisticated UO players back in the day. Just because everyone you knew had 90+ or 95 resist, does not mean it was that way throughout the shard.Tron wrote:plenty of people had 90+ resist.Mikel123 wrote:Two things... one, very few people had high resist back in the day.

gm was much rarer, but most people had at least one char 95+
and i never heard of no eval before doing resist until freeshards.
