UO Second Age

I recently looked up the official UO site dated April 22nd 1999 using archive.org (you can access this using this link http://web.archive.org/web/199904220500 ... ww.owo.com) And found a whole bunch of differences and notes that aren't applied to this shard that I'd like to share with you guys...

In your third picture, the invul tag is only displayed under his name because it would be too long to fit onto the same line.

Try typing "Lord British (invulnerable)" in game

I'm sure there's WAY more info on the old website that I have missed so I encourage everyone to give it a look and see what they can find.

You are basically listed images of patch notes, they are all in there

The radiating damage picture is certainly a nice find though.

Are we sure thats not a mock up? Or from an incomplete internal T2A beta? UO had some outrageously false/early photos of the game on its site and retail boxes, im sure we have all seen the dragon guarding the treasure on the bridge that does not exist in game.

I dont recall rotting corpses or ice fiends spawning in the city of the dead, and where is the rest of the spawn? such odditys are a trademark of press grabs and beta screens.

add the ymca

Those house lockdowns/secures are from the second housing system during t2a from late 1999. The shard currently uses the housing system from when t2a first came out in late '98 and the lockdowns/secures we have here are accurate to that.

This, there was never such a spawn at the CoTd.

The ice fiend pic was a mock up done for promotional purposes. It wasn't actually in-game.

There are ways to get monsters in...gating at least then or otherwise even now as long as you can retrieve a spawn outside dungeon areas i.e. T-Hunting.

No one would dispute that Archaic but that does not alter the fact that the shot in question is a mock up, its not from a live shard.

agreed unless theres some weird way to evolve daemons.

I agree with this as well, additionally the range from the daemon is more than two tiles, there should not have been ice damage at that range. My only reference on which is the clients player in that pic though is from the cursors direction.

I haven't yet added radiation damage to Ice Fiends, lacking evidence of it; but I would take this as evidence that they did radiate damage if there as no other rational objection.
