UO Second Age

I have spent the past few days not being able to tame anything in Delucia because of basically one guy.

lure em away 1 by 1 and pay r- to kill them and him if they follow?

Yup. Thats Second Age Era Correct Delucia alright. Just hope that he doesn't tell 'em all to follow ya

Saw a guy the other day that had filled the West Britain bridge leading outta town with tamed creatures. If you did have teleport, or entice then you couldn't get through. Actually a really cool idea imo.

Oh yeah man, no control slots is pure lub. Nothing quite as satisfying as rolling a 50/50 new toon with 894589343 tamed rabbits into someone trying to work a spawn.

"all follow" for Great Justice.

There is precedence for us taking action when the town of Britain is virtually shut down by a single player; we try our best to never interfere in game, but there are some actions that are just over the top, such as making a animal wall surrounding Sweet Dreams Inn.

Feel free to discuss whether or not we should get involved in actions like that, but I do feel it makes a lot of sense to minimally control animals in some areas, or at least that area.

I would suggest you not interfere in things like that.

I can almost see the case if it's the inn in Britain where the new characters start off. But literally anywhere else (especially in Britain), there's always another shop one can enter of the same type. Or, if you need your bank, you can *gasp* explore the map and get to it in another town. It'll do us good. Plus it's fun for screenshots and stories if you let us have our fun

I appreciate the feedback on that. It's honestly been gutwrenching for me to get involoved when I have in the past. I'd considered scripting an animal control officer to patrol Britain, which would at least add a better in-game element than "me".

If this crap happens outside of town I can handle it myself, the problem that I am upset about, is that 1 player who happens to be AFK for periods of 8+ hours at a time, is preventing everyone else from being able to tame anything inside Delucia....

I would like to see the spawn in Delucia decreased dramatically....I only remember about 5 or 6 bulls behind the healers hut on Napa Valley back in the day....not this massive influx of sheep, birds, cows, etc...

I laughed SO hard when I saw that pic! PURE greatness! lol

Kill them.

Players can remove the animals themselves at the risk of getting guard whacked. If you don't want to risk it, there are plenty of other area to get whatever you need those animals for. As for blocking areas off, Teleport takes how much Magery to cast?

P.s. Credit to team.

Back in T2A on OSI I once brought more than 80 head of cattle to the Del bank. I guess the lag caused so many problems the cows were deleted by GMs and I got jailed for a while then dumped in the middle of nowhere without a mount or rune. When I got back, I was still bored so I covered everytile of the farmlands outside Del with animal hides. From the hills to the water, took me like 4 hours and about 9 screenshots pieced together to capture it all. Too bad my computer died years ago and I lost it all, along with my GM program from beta UO.

Definitely get involved, doing so is accurate. Just because you can't replicate the hardware of OSI 10 years ago and this doesn't affect us here (or at least as much), tons of animals in an area caused immense game-ending lag and GM's would clean out the area. I recall that interference of that type was sort of prohibited and action was always taken when it interfered with a player's gameplay. A while back Sigfried filling up Brit bank roof with animals on every tile, for example, would have been taken care of by the GM's rather than players.

asking a GM to get involved in something like this is not needed.

making a tamer is a pain. deal with the stupid things along the way. wait till you get to the HH room, I had the muska turduskas killing me 3-5x a day.

the payout at the end is worth it.
