UO Second Age

Just to add something fresh and interesting to the game , how about T-Maps and SoS bottles that can only be done in T2A. They will have to be labled like the old Tmaps tho , maybe an ancient Tmap or a different color of Tmap. They can spawn T2A monsters in the maps like Terrathins, Orphs, Gargoyals, Titans, Icefiends ect. And for SoS bottles you can fish up Krakens with the Fishing nets

Wait for it....




















not era accurate! is gonna be the response.

It's an interesting idea, but unfortunately it probably won't ever get implemented because this shard is dedicated to accurately recreating the T2A era from OSI. With a few notable exceptions, this shard is known for having zero custom additions and unfortunately this suggestion would count as a custom addition. The shard coders are currently backed up implementing T2A-accurate changes, let alone custom changes.

As a T-Hunter myself I could see the benefit of a little added variety, but I don't think this shard will ever see it. Sorry

Krakens are supposed to be in-game, as blue corpsers. original UO manual says so!

Didn't they have mib's in the Lost Lands, that could only be fished up in the Lost Lands?

This is a vague memory, but if true, I don't think it's implemented on UOSA.

Not that I ever recall. All the SOSs I fished up were all in Britannia.

Just an FYI, I was fishing in T2A the other day cause I was coincidentally curious. I didn't fish up any special items at all there so I think that is disabled. I never fished it on OSI that I can remember.

I don't believe so. I thought I saw something more substantial a while back, but can't seem to find it now. All I could find is this, which lists wishful changes to fishing from 2002. Way after our era, but I don't know why something like this would have been removed.

Shipwreck recoveries should also take place in the Lost Lands.

Oh, and speaking of fishing, isn't it supposed to unhide you?

If you are hidden, fishing will now unhide you.

Yeah whatever happened to the Kraken?

I hunted for that thing forever and never found one.

Same thing with the phoenix.

They were both in the t2a manual.

I can't speak for the Kraken, but the phoenixs spawn in the cave from south of trinny to delucia, you just have to wonder around in there for maybe 45 seconds.

So if you can't fish hidden, why can you mine hidden? Or Lumberjack?

Because that's how it was back in the day? (ie: Era Accurate)

It doesn't have to make sense, just fit into the right time frame.

I guess there's also that mining and lumberjacking don't have a chance of spawning horrible monsters to deal with, and fishing does. If you can just hide it negates the purpose.
