All clothes were proven breakable.
Magical trammel events were still up for debate last I checked on some "policy v. mechanic" clause. If you are interested in the events, make a post detailing how they are inaccurate, or further reminding staff and other players that "hey, we never figured this one out". There does not need to be an "if" in there at all. I have always found the staff here more than reasonable, and open to any discussion.
Matron when it comes to EA issues I love you to death

I hardly use my Bard. Training 14 different characters on my 3 accounts is a resource drain for sure though.

So, as a new player who just joined the server last week- if I ever want my future main character (not a tamer) to be able to ride a nightmare, I have to somehow cobble together the cash for a nightmare now and get one transferred to him before the upcoming patch makes it impossible?
Or is it even worse than that, i.e. when the patch hits all these orny animals will soon ditch owners without animal lore and taming?

How long until after Nov 1999 until the statue-ghost-horse mounts were introduced? I miss mine dearly

I will gladly give up my blessed clothing for some 100% raw UO. No instances, no CTF, no automated tourneys.
I want to see more player-ran tourneys, more action in dungeons, more townies fighting in Brit and Vesper. People who think there isn't action outside of tourney/ GY are wrong. Sure it's not all-day but it happens more regularly than many think, in dungeons and forests around hotspots/destard. Sometimes a fight can be happening 2 screens away in the woods and in an isometric game you won't know.
The GY is a hotspot because it has newbies and pks show up to pk newbies, so blues show up to grab loot or join in the battle of good vs evil vs scumbags. Same thing in dungeons. Goto dungeons and dungeon sit till pks arrive to kill bards. The more pvpers we have in dungeons the more diverse it gets, back in 1999 there was PLENTY of o/c and waring going on in dungeons. As well as people looking for casual duels/no looting.
Why is it that many pvpers will sit at the Brit GY entrance close to town protection all day but are too afraid to stand around in a dungeon as prey?

"Why is it that many pvpers will sit at the Brit GY entrance close to town protection all day but are too afraid to stand around in a dungeon as prey?"
i'll agree dungeons were heavier populated-- when i see a place live cove liches empty after 5 or 6 runs throughout the day, it saddens me a little-- but brit GY zone hugging was always a part of the game. i don't think CTF or tournies affect dungeon population; it's just the server populatrion.
