UO Second Age

I'm GMing blacksmithing right now. I can buy the GM weapons/armor cheap enough, so I'm sure it'll be like tailoring and once I GM I'll never use it, but hey, it's something to do.

Because I never played a blacksmith before.

So it got me thinking, what are things you've never done in UO but would like to?

I've always just played a dexxer, so I've never even seen Wind. I'm sorta half-heartedly building a mage for the purpose of just going there and seeing it.

1. See Wind
2. GM blacksmithing/alchemy/poisoning
3. Start a wisp farm, just you know see how many wisps I can get up to the roof of my tower
4. Start a vendor market or guild in east Moonglow
5. Buy a castle

I've done just about everything possible. But there are a few exceptions. Events/Guilds aside.

1. GM Begging / Camping / Lockpicking

That is about it.

I've never died 1v1. Ever. True story. Wondering what that's like.

To be honest, many of my firsts have come on this shard - owning a castle, GMing Blacksmith/Carpentry/Tinkering/Poisoning/Alchemy/Inscription/Lockpicking/Cartography. My swordsman also lost his virginity on UOSA.

I've always wanted to make a death house - lure people in, have lots of confusing things locked down in a maze-like pattern, and then see if they can make it through without dying. Less fun/less doable because we don't have purple potion chain reactions here.

I've always wanted to "pvp" (and win) with my tamer and some small hellcats. I dunno, they're so small and harmless-looking. Probably not possible without pack instinct, but perhaps... if I had a LOT of hellcats...

Can't wait to see that wisp farm.

GM taming; played 2 years on Atlantic and stopped at 94 taming. =/

Lure a Balron out of Hedge Maze and unto a ship...

make a useless char thats not meant for macroing and actually have fun with it

To place and/or own a keep. I have placed every conceivable type of home, including 2 castles, on Sonoma, but never have placed a keep before, not even on a test server. That is my UOSA long-term goal.

I accomplished my "never done" goals in uo when i started uosa.

1. get a castle. *thanks to kefka*
2. placed a keep. *thanks to myself 5 times*
3. Saved over 400 trophies for uniques *tamer rules*
4. Helped people do trades * one of my old hobbies i wanted to continue here*


Those were my main goals but i have been every useful class in game at one time or another.

Be a T hunter. OSI t-hunting post Age Of Shite was almost solely for RP purposes. Very sad.

Also get into the shard events/tournaments etc.

Only thing I can say I haven't done is GM'd remove trap skill. I've done every other skill, I've had Glorious Lord, Grandmaster beggars. I've taken NPCs from the mainland by ship to various islands (including using all of Britannia's Order guards to slay monsters at the Fire Temple).

I've stolen every type of deed known to man, I've done triple farming, on Defiance I was lucky enough to macro PKing (I attended my macro but didn't have to do anything but watch and laugh).

I've been on top of almost every building throughout the years (dating from way back when you could teleport onto slanted roughs, to when you could get on any roof via a box trick), I've been under most lakes and ponds on the mainland.

I guess I can make up stuff I never did that aren't really achievements such as "I've never won a 1v10" and other silly things like that.

I play UO. I don't log on and pretend it's a FPS and spend 5 minutes recalling around like half the goons here, I actually play the game and due to that, I've been able to accomplish things most people don't even think about

One of the things I've never done is create a guild, it seems that I've finally after so many years(since starting in 1998) decided to start and manage a guild from scratch. Many of my guild members are new to UOSA or even UO altogether.(some are old friends from OSI)

So this is indeed awesome

Word. I think the biggest problem with FPS-frag type players is that they lack imagination and can't see the awesomeness of every part of UO. It has never gotten old for me, you never know what's around the corner in the world of UO.

I'm a pvper myself and I love that aspect of UO, but I can't see why some pvpers have to bash and grief rpers and people who enjoy any playstyle besides pvp.

Lake Superior for life!

Interesting comments above. The first time I learnt you could play an fps against real people it blew my mind.

I played quake non-stop but also used to make trick-jump demos and work out grenade+rocket jump tricks and explored map oddities. The point is, it's clear my brain was looking for different ways to play. You are either one of those imaginative types of people or not.

Then UO came along. Then UO got turned into an item based trammel grind but even that was better than nothing. Then I found UOSA.

The End.
