A cry to kill off Autohit, lets hear the people:

Kiljox - Kill jocks? You weren't picked on by jocks in high school were you??

Sticking to the era is what we're doing. Thank you for your concern.

The long term graph is working again:

This goes back to the inception of JoinUO last Junish
The title looks messed up though, i think that's the peak within the current day. I know we hit 540ish last night.

Probably the best thing about this server is the auto defend. T2A style pvp is extremely chance based without it. Its extremely easy to kill someone without it, and the addition of it prevents alot of lucky kills from dumb combos and high damage. Having auto defend is necessary for the era, and without it, it is simply not "the way it was".

[Mr.T]

It's easy to tell when someone is going to come in and waste your hit... when you see that happening quickly equip hally and disrupt casting.... ya so what you lose your precasted explosion from equipping your hally but bam they get a good 30 hp hit on them for trying to make you punch.

And what's with all these polls?!?

[Painkiller]

Whatever is era accurate thats what i vote for.

Whats with all the polls recently? Its not like this is a democracy here.

The reason this server has a good stable population is because of stat loss, not era accuracy.

Zigo is made cause he can't get what he wants, just leave already plx

*Stat loss is era accuracy

[Mr.T]

I did vote no but if you think about it, razor makes this feature kind of era inaccurate. No one would hold an attacklast key down would they?

[Faust]

Attack last was intorudced in mid '99 when the 800x600 client was released with the second edition t2a cd.

[TheDon]

What does holding down attack last do? I've heard a few people talking about it..

[Faust]

When someone initiates an aggressive action such as attacking someone, casting an offensive spell onto someone, etc... an opponent will auto defend. This means that someone that tabs out of combat will auto defend immediately when someone hits attack last. People will hold the key down to make sure their opponent doesn't tab out to avoid swinging. The reason that someone does this is to waste their opponents swing by making them wrestle, etc...

[TheDon]

I see, thankyou.

[Biohazard]

This AutoDefend is era accurate... it should stay in. Maybe on some other payer run shard this was not enabled but if you played OSI 1999 then it was in.

So was AttackLast as of 8.99. Maybe people didn't learn how to utilize it as they do now but that too is era accurate.

I think the throttle is the only way to try to reduce the effects of AttackLast to AutoDefend but to ask for AutoDefend to be taken out because it doens't play towards your strategy is not a strong argument.

agreed... auto-defened was always present, and attack last was also present.
