Re: Ghosting spawns - so...?

Single IP is a very bad idea. Trust me. It instantly alienates anyone who has someone living with them that also plays.

There are lots of ways to take care of the ghost problem without having to go to single IP. Many have been mentioned here. Single IP is hitting a fly with a sledge hammer.

Re: Ghosting spawns - so...?

And FYI a lot of the PK's only seem good in the first 10 seconds they attack you because they were ready for you, after you survive that it turns into an even fight because you're both fighting instead of you being attacked... ...and they were only ready for you because they had a ghost spying on y...

Re: Ghosting spawns - so...?

You guys are missing the point. The reason this sucks isn't because it makes PvM too hard, it's because it makes the PK's life too easy. They can sit in the safety of their Keeps, never risking anything until they are sure they have found a solo target that has a full load, and then pounce. This mea...

Re: Ghosting spawns - so...?

If it was just one PK ghosting one spawn on his third account, and having to wait 5 minutes to log each one in and check, it wouldn't be a problem. When it's a guild of PK's using multiple accounts to watch multiple popular spawns at no risk to themselves from their keep, then it's a problem. Give t...

Re: Ghosting spawns - so...?

It probably isn't Era Accurate, but ghosting would be eliminated if you made it where ghosts can only see until their body decays. Once that happens, they can only see terrain. Problem solved.

Re: I need a PI

Yes, just go on pretending like wall of text, no punctuation, barely recognizable English is a suitable way to ask a question. If you are going to ask someone else to do your work for you, then at least take a couple minutes to make your posts legible. He is clearly capable of doing so, as the edit ...

Re: Lag and server status

You guys keep talking about the Angel Islanders but didn't the shard shut down due to lack of players? So what are we talking about, a 5 person infestation? lol The actual playerbase of AI was much larger, they just had no incentive to really play. It looks like half the shard already had character...

I don't know about perma grey, but here's another function of Forensic Eval I found. "If you have a certain level of ability in the skill, using it on recently picked containers will reveal who the lockpicker was. " http://wiki.uosecondage.com/index.php?title=Ultima_Online:_The_Second_Age_...
