UO Second Age

These are too funny not to post. I went to CTF yesterday on my NMC character... haha



and



all with:




I should have taken a battle pic of me and Kraarug, we were looking for each other in the middle cause I was humping his leg before the CTF started... I held my ground pretty well but he'd eventually get me out of stamina with his mace.

Good fights!

PS: LOOKOUT, I CAN CURE!

We have a forum now.

Thanks

Go play WoW if you want to invest huge amounts of time to gain items. This game is perfect for casual gaming BECAUSE you can afk macro your character to some semblance of skills and further enjoy the supposed endgame that UO offers. I may have opted for this approach if I was unemployed and had tons of time on my hands but the fact is that I don't want to wait for months to enjoy my playtime. I, like many others, don't want instantaneous gratification from this game but at the same time I don't want some grindfest where I go through a mouse or two trying to GM skills (lol, osi).

Old UO was fucking hard as hell to get 7x.
This game wasn't really made for the casual player because if you died as a noob you lost all your shit and had to work hard to regain it.
You had to camp IDOCs for hours and hours, reregging and coming back if you got ganked.
You had to do bonewalls for hours, had to sit there and go in the bone magi room or have people summon deamons to attack you for resist.

The freeshards are too small to ban macroing or make skill gain way harder.
But this game was definitely not made for the casual player as nobody was a 7x back in the day.

All OSI did was make it more time consuming than these shards do. I agree OSI wasn't a casual game but then at 14 or 15 we all had tons of time and practically no lives so it evened out. I macroed constantly on OSI. Sure I got jailed a few times but not enough to stop me from doing it. I did the bonewall thing for a while when I was super new but once I had friends and got a house together I never bothered with that. People had NEAR 7x gm chars mostly because of the sheer cost involved in getting resist up above like 80s. Well, until the magic resist bugs came into play that is. While I miss OSI and the hard skill gains at the same time i've grown up quite a bit and at this point I don't even bother with "casual" mmos like WoW etc. I have no interest putting massive amounts of time in for pixels.

Kind of off topic but I think the staff here should seriously crack down on afk resource macroing as that is the only type of macroing I think is pretty lame. I'd rather see a game where you play for an hour or two and can afford regs to macro overnight.. not run 3 lumberbots 24/7

Well challenge is all fine and good. I think most of the players on UOSA would agree UO presented much more challenging game play than modern mmo's. However you also have to remember OSI was charging people to play their game. If skill gain was very fast players would have maxed out their skills too fast and possibly become bored. A lot of the adventure came from training skills. On a free shard I feel there is a bit of "been there done that" syndrome and players are less patient to get to "endgame". It is sad to think the epic journey of building your character and finding out how you wanted to play has been reduced to macroing while you eat nachos and watch a movie. That is just freeshard UO for you, and to punish players for doing so would kill the following. OSI was able to generate more money by slowing skill gain and punishing macroing. Different times I suppose.

gen y syndrome!

Look for Pristiq on IRC, he's the GM. You can find him often around East Brit Bank. You can also try the "alt-t" in game chat.

Best is IRC though.

We have a sub-forum too... http://forum.uosecondage.com/viewforum.php?f=55

I think it would be cool if you could get several guilds started kind of like a little player ran faction war deal. No macroing if your in the guild and maybe the GM's would help out in jailing macro'ers in the guilds if they are caught. I would be up for joining that, would be pretty cool if your in a battle and you see someone you know is a 7x gm and it takes like 5 people to take him down.
