Yes, scamming is possible in UO, but conflating that with it being in any way right or acceptable is truly appalling. The lowlifes should be called out on their actions, and publicly.

(Not referring to Vega here. The OP only has 7 posts since he joined the forum on October 28th So I think we're obligated to give Vega the full benefit of the doubt here.)

Oh, and to say "everyone does it" is also a wicked distortion. I've been doing a ton of business on this shard recently and so far EVERYONE I HAVE DEALT WITH has been fair and honest and nobody once has tried to scam me. Players like Dyne, Fagabeefe, Bixby, and a slew of others. All straight up honest and pleasant in their dealings. And that's exactly the kind of culture we should be promoting instead of paving the way for cheats and scammers with retarded fkn platitudes about how "this is UO" and pretending like their actions are anything more than what they are, which is morally reprehensible.

I full agree with this...Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean its the right thing to do, but you gotta also figure, most of these guys would be out raping women and killing people if they wouldn't get in trouble for it. It's the type of person that UO brings, the people that have nicer tendencies are on other games such as WoW or on server's that are roleplaying or trammellized. It's just the way it is and probably why the population is down to 200, but let them play how they want, soon enough there will be noone left to scam except each other, then they will realize they are either done with UO and wanted to ruin it for everyone else before they quit anyway or that maybe they should have helped the next guy instead of scamming him and they would still be playing.

I had it automated so I can just sit back and watch. I am not lying, Vega sat at that Bank in the area running around all night and logged back in in the morning. It took him all that time to attempt to block my recall spot. I had an alt drop off more supplies. I hid on my alt. 3 others joined vega on the roof one at a time to block my recall spots. I just switched the targeted Rune to another Bank but I was fascinated all that time and trouble to finally get the nerve to do this and hanging out at a scarcely populated bank really made me want to question the man's sanity. This was not a populated city. I am just wondering what kind of things goes through one's head running around NuJel'm when absolutely no one is there all freaking night.

He was somehow confused, and because I flickered on screen for a half second to bank not seeing me recall in he was running around trying to find me calling me a Haxxor.

I will say that my initial interactions with Suck it Trebek have been less than pleasant. I understand pk's will be pk's. I also understand it takes 4 of them to keep me off the loot when their waiting for an IDOC to fall. But I still feel on a shard this size respect should be a little more present among one another. But that's just my opinion. That is my real only experience with him.

I don't think making friendly small talk saying this server is still brutal needs a reply such as, "If by brutal you mean not for vagina's then yes" That just is not necessary. Not to mention not everyone's play style in this game is player killing but you're forced to accept it or run/die. This game has one of the best crafting/resource systems ever designed. Some people love the grind and it makes them feel like their making a difference. But they lose that nostalgia and butterfly feeling when people like Vega and other's i'm sure I will meet take it from them by camping their recall spots and killing them for standing there and find them hiding in a forest while taking care of IRL stuff. IF you guys honestly don't care about the community at all. This shard will die and i will hate to see it die.

Speaking of pking afkers I don't think there is a single PK on this game that does not have tracking gmed. Lol.

Please tell me you didn't try to compare Hybrid to UOSA. They have more differences than similarities and generally appeal do a different audience. UO Freeservers are a niche community and servers like UOSA is a niche within that Niche appealing to a much different yet smaller playerbase.

I agree that when you have such a small population players need to take into account not causing so much grief they push other people away from playing this server. Yet the people you speak of are the very people whom keep this server alive by actively playing it.

You mentioned you have different play styles. Their play style is to kill you ... If they just sit around watching you go along your merry little way then they are not enjoying this server. However if they kill you then you are not enjoying the game. Why should your enjoyment be priority over someone else?

Its a catch 22. UO is about overcoming , adapting, and out smarting your opponent. Everyone on this server who has a long tenure has been subject to some type of these behaviors at some point, yet they overcame them. Most likely finding pride and ambition in their overcoming of their enemies.


There are plenty of helpful and great people in this community. Yet there are no threads about them because UO thrives on conflict.

Good Luck , I hope you stay with Ultima Online Second Age as it is a rewarding exp even in this time of small population.
