A little story from when i was playing yesterday - man, i love this game.
I recently started playing UO again after several years. I have been playing for approx. a month, and I am starting to get the feel of the game again and i am slowly becomming more confident in pvping and such.
Ok, here goes:
I was farming Balron room yesterday, when i ended up in a fight with another blue player. We both wanted to farm, so he attacked me to scare me away. As i was loaded with gold N stuff, i recalled when he had me low on health - restocked regs, and came back to fight.
Our 2nd encounter enden differently. We fightet a short time and i almost killed him. Only some lame obstruction in the graphic preventet me from killing him, and enabled him to recall.
Our 3rd encounter he was farming a balron when i attacked him. I missed 3 hally hits, and he looted the Balron and loaded recall, while saying something along the line of: "Haha i just looted a magic helbard" "Fool you will never kill me" "Haha". I thought he was joking about the magic helbard so i dident bother much.
Our 4th encounter at Balrons i immediatly attacked him. Hitting him with hally, explosion, hally, E-bolt. Almost had him. During the fight a Balron targeted me. I lured the Balron up to the stairs and went up to fight him - hoping he would go down stairs unaware of the Balron waiting for him. We fightet a bit more, and i got him to 1/4 of hp, when he went down stairs to the Balron - where he died. I lured the Balron away and looted him. I couldent believe my own eyes. He hadent dropped of the magic Helbard plus he was loaded with some other magic weps and good regs. Still makes me smile. I looted him, and soon after his other char showed, alas it was too late. The magic helbard was +15 power, and he also had a +20 vanq bow, so all in all a good deal.
I love UO
