(6:14:01 PM): Ahoy. I saw your post on UOSA forums regarding a tower. I have one too many and I will unload it for a good price.
(6:14:01 PM): Well if you're interested, let me know. It's not far from Vesper. The lowest I'd go would be tower deed plus two smalls which ends up around 520k. That's actually quite a bargain but I have plenty of gold and don't need to get greedy.

(6:15:12 PM): Hi how are you, I am interested however I currently have 445k to my name. I started off on this server about 10 days ago and have been farming like mad. I have off of work tomorrow so I will work hard in the next few hours to get the rest if thats okay with you.
(6:15:34 PM): I can AIM you when I have the gold

aku1974 11:36 pm
(11:36:57 PM): To be honest with you, that amount would be fine. It's not that I'm in a hurry. I just work most of the day tmo. You're rather new and I have a soft spot for new players.
MikeN1c3 11:37 pm

aku1974 11:38 pm

(12:01:43 AM): Your offline but thanks man I appriciate that. I work really hard IRL and between my work and my 2 kids I don't get to play a lot. This server was my shot back at old UO and now you've ruined that for me. That was everything I had. Thanks =/



I think the fact that there is no house trading gump is an outrage. Trust other players? That obviously doesn't work. Now a month of my time has been wasted on a server I actually love and enjoy. And there is nothing a game moderator will do.

With that being said, there is a reason people constantly say to use reliable, confirmed brokers. Sorry your experience on UOSA has been shortsighted by this.

Always post on the forums deals that this large and use a broker.

You have just experienced a dose of life.

Live and learn from your mistakes.

Pick up the pieces and move on or jump ship if you can't handle it.

Not being a prick.. just stating the truth.

I'm sorry this happened to you, especially being a new player myself. But it seems foolish to have simply trusted approximately half a million gold pieces to someone's good nature. [$$$] has several trusted brokers as I understand it, whom you would be well advised to use in the future if you decide to stay. I've got <10k to my name, but if you need help getting back on your feet, regs, bandies, etc just let me know.

I appreciate it very much, but that wont be necessary. I actually had no clue about these brokers or about having to deal on forums. I came to this server out of a curious wim. I had not played UO since the release of AOS and when I thought about it I found this server that I gave a shot. I had given others a shot and none compared till UOSA. I love this server and enjoy playing it as I did the game I still have sitting in my desk drawer that's been collecting dust over the years. Call me stupid, foolish, whatever it may be. My fault his fault, its just heartbreaking to work that hard and not have anything be done about having it scammed off you. I had no idea of these brokers or that deals should be done over forums. I was a sucker that came here out of a days curiosity and got shot down. Sh*t happens and is as is, however I think perhaps I will let my memories of UO remain as just that.

Not everyone in $$$ should be trusted, IMO. Go with Blackfoot when you need a broker.

I joined then, made an account, make a character, and never played. I played on Angel Island, stopped entirely, and then started back up on here.

Always use a broker, its important you use a broker with the $$$ guild title, NOT [$$

Too many fake wises, blackfoots, tabius' out there.

Make sure you deal with the right one.

If you need a house to use while you get back on your feet, I'm more than happy to co-own you to one of my vacant castles. Just shoot me a PM.

Contact MatronDeWinter on IRC if you need a broker.
