Re: Patch 134 - Little stuff

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I've been having a little difficulty remembering how things were back in 99. I was just a newb back then, so skills like taming, and other challenging skills, did not get finished up until after 2000. Since I've been taming on this shard, I have definitely been...

Re: Patch 134 - Little stuff

Is there any chance on adding re-taming abilities on this shard? It was always nice going to Ice Island and re-taming some polar bears or white wolves.

Re: Frequent "Connection Lost"

Well crap, it started doing it again. Seems like every 15 minutes or so I loose connection. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I'm on a 25MB wired cable connection via a linksys WRT160Nv3 router if that helps at all.

Old time UO player with some newb questions for this shard

Hey guys, First off, I would like to say that I really enjoy the "feel" of this shard. It really brings me back to when I first started playing UO back in 99. The only problem is, I forgot a lot of the rules and skill specific information. Hiding is one example I can think of, where back i...

Re: Frequent "Connection Lost"

Well, that seemed to do the trick. I've been connected for several hours now. Weird how something like that can affect the game. I remember playing this game on an old 166mhz Zenon computer with 28.8k dialup. Boy, have times changed :).

Frequent "Connection Lost"

I'm not sure if this is normal, or if there is some sort of issue, but I seem to loose connection quite a bit while macro'ing. Does anyone else experience this, or have any suggestions?

Re: Havent played since 1999, just started here

Welcome to the shard. I am in the same boat, and have not played in quite some time. This place "feels" really familar, and I really enjoy the accuracy. I know this age of UO meant a lot to many players. I hope to relive some of those fond memories, and I hope to get to know all of you soon.
