UO Second Age

I dont recall myuo.com showing your online status. I checked the current version on uo/owo.com, and it does not. It actually doesnt look like it has changed much except for some silly looking graphics in the paperdoll. I'm personally not a big fan of being able to look up "who is online" ect.

*shrugs*
it's a UOSA site feature, not meant to be era accurate.

Matron you are good looking...

yeah strange topic because it has nothing to do with mechanics in the game itself


put it to a vote

I know that I use this feature, and it effects the mechanics much in the same way ghosting does for PK's ect. I could see how many other professions could use this data to their benefit, which was never possible in era.

my stance on the pk/ghost tactic that it sucks and cheap crutch to use. i would like for it to be changed but i dont expect it.


the myuosa online status is related to that in away, but i think that people use it in a way that should be available to the whole server.

maybe when you make your character public that toggles on a status indicator that would normally be off if you had your character profile set to private. so the online player list would only be filled with public characters (is that a good thing in the long run for server population and community?)

Well, I look at it this way. Ghosting areas (while cheap) was mechanically possible. This online-status feature was not however. I like your idea of toggling on/off with [privatechar.

yeah it's a strange feature to have.

*checks how many pks are online*
*goes crafting instead*

PKs can even use it if they know the habits of particular players quite well...

AFAIK on MyUO, you couldn't even see players unless they were in a guild

I think it's useful for potential players coming to the shard and looking up guilds they find interesting or want to join, check activity and such.

The online/offline status of a player should be an option inside the myuosa site. It should not matter if a character is public or not it should just be a 'reveal my characters online status yes/no' in the myuosa profile area. It should not be by account either but by character.
