UO Second Age

I know [practice weapon]s were still the norm right up until early 2000. Can't say exactly when they started. But I don't think there was any way to get a newbified katana prior to 2000. Is it not possible you just took the newbie katana from another character and put it on your thief after that date?

There are issues with the fully patched client. I'm able to play okay, but I can't make new characters with it. So yeah, patching too far is not advisable and using an older client can't hurt, especially if you're only playing the one shard.

It's a bit silly to expect Derrick to code you a workaround to a problem you've created for yourself out of stubbornness, no? They only move while you cast them if you click and drag. So improve your mouse handling if you refuse to use macros. I agree with you that some spells aren't used often enou...

lol relics. Wrong game, skipper.

Yes, brambles blocked movement, and yes, they caused rubberbanding. Yes, rubberbanding is caused by the client thinking it can move somewhere but the server telling it that it cannot. The client makes the move request, predicts that it will be approved, and shows the character moving. The server den...

Maybe. That's something else you can get a feel for by practicing with a partner - spell timing. UO Magery definitely gives the benefit to the defender. The counter to every spell is faster and cheaper than the offensive spell, with the only exception being buffs and debuffs. Cure is faster and chea...

I usually carry 75 of each as well. But I'm used to playing characters from different eras with lower strength, and I like to travel a bit lighter so I can get more loot. I might up it on this shard once I get established. I absolutely won't tell you not to PvP, but if you're having trouble in the f...

I'm pretty new to this shard, and I've had very limited playtime. I came from Hybrid and I found this server very refreshing. Here are a few of my thoughts on why: 1. It's T2A. T2A was my favorite era in UO, and it was fleeting. I've wanted to recapture it since it was first taken away, but no one h...

No, you can't set it to "weapon" but you can add multiple items to the list. So add every kind of weapon that you want to sell.

Haha, good topic. Let's see. No Trammel. Insta-hit/insta-swing. Moongates actually having something to do with the moons. Purple potions not getting a bonus from alchemy. No stun punch. No special moves for dexers. No power scrolls. No bringing T2A-specific animals to Britannia proper. No bolas. I g...

Originally, you got one power hour per day. This was a UOR feature. ... It was actually "Third Dawn". Technically, power hour, which was originally called "burst hour" was introduced with the final T2A patch in March of 2000. Sharpshooter gets sharpshot! :oops: To the first, I d...

Originally, you got one power hour per day. This was a UOR feature. A new day started at midnight for the time zone the shard was in. Your power hour would be the first hour you played that day, though I think it may not have started immediately (maybe after 15 minutes or so). You had to be careful ...

If no one can understand ghosts, and NPC's are afraid of ghosts, how can they call guards, hmm? Also, ghosts can't say the letter "h." That part is patently false. But seriously folks, I remember insta-res had an option in the menu as to whether to even show that gump. I think most people ...

The game isnt that important that macroing should be needed in anyone's mind. Pardon me, but I don't follow this logic at all. I think we've established that the game is what we make of it and we set our own goals. My goal is to get to the PvP and PKing as quickly as possible, using a tank mage. Fo...

This is era accurate and should be put in. It's not (just) from another era although I do remember it still being around in UO:R.
