Dragons are absolutely trainable. To a point of despair, as they will actually eventually start casting mass curse

I had a dragon trained to cast EB a while back....it died shortly after casting said EB at a pk with a gate to balrons.


Don't bother training em. Constantly going to have to replace .

I wonder what one could do with 20 trained imps?
Heck even 10 gnarly grandmaster imps would be a sight :lol:

The White Wyrms back on Napa Valley in 1999 could keep up with anyone on horseback while they were running.....When I told my Wyrm to attack people, it would move faster than I could, and for this reason, people feared them in PvP.

A side note about Frenzied Ostards.....they used to be very fast, as I once trained about 6 of them, and killed an Ancient Wyrm with them....they hit hard and fast, and although they didn't have a ton of hitpoints, if you had several of them in a group, they could take out any creature in the game with ease.

I was disappointed in the Frenzied Ostards that we currently have on the server....Orcish Lords can kill them solo, which was never the case back in the day.

Frenzied Ostards are being fixed as per this post. I'm guessing the time you're thinking about killing an AW with 6 frenzieds was probably when they implemented "pack hunting" whenever that was.

And for a change like your asking for on the WW you'd definitely have to find something to back that up with.

The problem with that is nobody but tamers would want this changed back to the way it was. And most of the tamers on here were probably not playing UO back in t2a area, and if they were, didn't have tamers.

Taming used to be one of the skills that was hardest to GM in the game....It took months of hard work, was incrediably boring, and couldn't be macro'd. For these reasons, not very many tamers existed.

White Wyrms were as fast as I said they were, and if you asked any old school player that had experienced trying to run from them, they would all confirm this. Although, like I already mentioned, nobody that plays on this server is going to admit to that, unless they play a tamer, Because PvPr's and murderers want their targets as easy to kill as possible, and as things stand now, tamers are an easy mark.
