    I'm strangely interested in this. But I've never played UO and am scared of installing all those files, and trying to figure it out.

    We should decide on where to settle down, our options basically boil down to:

    Forest
    Jungle
    Desert
    Arctic Island

    I vote for forest simply because while cool (and hot), the desert and arctic island have no trees to gather.

    I still don't quite understand the chat system. I don't see any chat anywhere even in the start town, and my UOAM doesn't show any chat logs either.

    Blue, the chat is really local. You only see what people say when it floats over their head. Party chat too if I remember correct.

    Use Razor.

    And party chat can be heard anywhere, but you can only ear who its coming from if you are on the same level (upstairs downstairs etc).

    I could be in. I already have it installed. I would prefer our own persistant Shard, but if that's not feasible, AI doesn't sound to bad.

    I was playing with PA last time we did this.

    Todays adventure:

    Arthur_6-21_22.jpg

    We set up our tents outside Despise.

    Darmak is helping us get started. He's been a huge help so far, here he is giving us robes. We decided our color will be brown, and we can die our cape and hat to whichever color we want so we can distinguish from eachother.

    Arthur_6-21_23-3.jpg

    I had no idea there was a bank there. We're getting our party organised and helping Kinesis dye his clothes.

    Arthur_6-21_23-2.jpg

    We made it inside Despise and are fighting Rat Archers. It's somewhat crowded. I calm the rats with Peacemaking and allow everybody else to attack to raise their skills. All money goes towards the guild.

    Arthur_6-21_23-5.jpg

    Now it's far too crowded. Farva joins us to train is dragons.

    Skills are going nicely. We have over 22k towards the guild. 12k of that goes towards the Guild Stone, the rest is for saving for a house.

    It's funny. Me and Valkun were PK'ed at least 5 times each today, each one resurected us and let us get most of our stuff back, and then helped us.

    The community is nice, but the PKs are a bit odd.

    Overall today was nothing but gains though.

    The guild account as of 6/22/07:

    Prevous balance: 9,981
    Earnings: 12, 735
    Expenses: 12,000 (guild stone, not yet purchased)
    Total balance: 10,716

    Houses are 43k.

    Oh man, that was a blast. Despite a lot of people having no idea what was going on, we managed to get together and still get some dungeon crawling done. We met a lot of people and although some were strange (the kill and ressurect you kind), we did meet a number of nice people as the day dragged on. One gave me a full chain suit of Valorite(!), the most expensive metal type in the game.

    Hope I don't let this suck all my time away, I have things I need to do. D:

    Yeah, I just need a small infusion of money to buy shovels to get ore to raise tinkering so that I can become self sufficient. After that, I can make tools for everyone.

    Still need a smith?

    I'm a total UO noob so maybe I shouldn't do that...

    Also, there's nobody in the #pauo channel on Slashnet. Wrong channel?

    Ok I apologize for being MIA last night, I should be around for stuff this weekend. Next time i'm on UOM i'll try to meet up with you guys. I think I'm used to log in and macro your character for a few days before you do anything!

    Lookin good!

    Guys, my balls... you're breaking them.

    Oh well, I didn't need to finish that paper anyway.
    I'm gonna start rolling up something that doesn't require a lot of money to run before I roll out the money hungering mage. Just a few questions, as its been years since I played UO:

    Where are the sheep in Britain? My healing skill demands more wool.
    Whats this spell weaving skill I see?
    Elves? You're kidding me, right? We should kill Richard Garriot and hook him up to a generator, thereby solving our energy crisis for the foreseeable future.

    Sheep... not sure. Maybe check the farms near the Brit moongate?

    Spellweaving was a skill added in Modains Legacy expansion (I think). I believe people with it can cast ritual spells or some such.

    And don't blame Garriot for the elves. They were added during the above expansion. I don't think you can pick them. Not sure though.

    Now for my question! I plan to make a nox-archer. My skills will be this:

    Archery
    Tactics
    Healing
    Anat
    Poisoning
    Resist
    Hiding maybe?
    30 Magery for recall

    My question is, what the hell should I start with? I have 3 skills that will be hard to raise (Poisoning, hiding, resist). So I don't know what to start with.

    I wasn't trying to blame him, just the whole spinning in his grave thing.

    From that set I'd go with poisoning and resist, they're the hardest to raise, if I recall.

    Hiding is easy to raise, I think especially in non-combat zones as well like where our Guild House will be. Resist is definitely the hardest. Have a mage cast Vamp Mana on you for a couple nights....

    I think with poisoning you can GM on the same apple, could be wrong. So really start with whats avail...

    Oh! I see what you did there! Clever.

    I think I may just do 50 Archery, 49 Tactics, 1 healing, kill shit and buy all the skills up to 30.

    One more question, does AI allow sea-sawing of stats? I may save up and sea-saw them if I can.
