UO Second Age

Well, this shard is era accurate, ergo the phrase. "THE WAY IT WAS" It is meant to be era accurate and No, magic shouldn't be allowed in town. That would totally be a sell out of the dev's ideas and goals for this shard.

Is magic allowed in town when monsters overrun the place? I think it should be allowed then if not. Especially in towns where there is little activety so that people would have more reason to visit there and the surrounding homes/vendors.

During town monster invasions the guards generally flee and the town becomes unguarded for the duration of the event.

Isn't that ironic? Instead of guarding the towns, hence the name Guard, they flee

If's it's more than a chumbucket or two in town you won't find the guards stick around long.

Nice topic. But if Magery was allowed in town, I'd probably Quit. It would lead to more changes "for the better" and eventually, other Player run Shards would look better.

Honestly, nothing beats 'the way it was.'


Don't forget, they made "Fellucia" for magery in town. Does anyone really want that again? Even the lead designer of UO quit once that happend.

Do you understand what he is suggesting? He is seeing if ONE town (trinsic for example) could have magery allowed to allow field fights in a concentrated, neutral fighting area without houses to hide in. If you are against fighting in this town, you could be on your merry way fighting the other dexers in brit. I think it would be a very good idea and would drastically increase the field pvp on this shard. Constantly having to find fights at other peoples' houses where they can hide and run if needed is so stupid and boring.

When it comes to pvp, Choppa X is kinda a big deal....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYdYDL5L3LU


That being said, maybe an unguarded Trinsic "event" to test the waters. Not that it should stay unguarded...just to test if peoples like it. Maybe it could be a monthly or a bi-monthly event, where Lord British orders guards out of Trinsic So the forces of Order and Chaos can air their grivences...It could be forwarned on the forums well in advance, At the time of the event the town criers could give notice...Even put it on the little clock thingies. I am against anything not accurate on a permanent basis, but events are special...and temporary.

the events are the equivelent. Maybe we should have "grief matches" where people call other people out. Like a sign up for grief matches in the survival cages.
Call out that theif whose been messing with ya.
Then you could steal his/her honor and leave 'em to their petty finds and treasures that would do themselves no good as they arent fit for the likes of weaponmasters, mages, and monsters anyway.
