Non-PvP

Post by sir robin »

PKer's and thieves have done me in. I liked UO best when you could opt out of the pk and theft thing and just enjoy crafting and simple hunting. PKer's and thieves win.

thats unfortunate, this is the game..
there's tons of places to craft in many cities, and thousands of mobiles in many dungeons.. you probably didn't try as hard as you could have to avoid them

I have a suggestion: Avoid situations that lead to death or theft. Keep your belongings in a locked box and have a recall macro in Razor (Cast Spell: Recall, Absolute Target: Rune). Those two things will keep you from having any problems 95% of the time.

LOL, like avoid mining? Cant craft without materials and cant get materials without great risk of death.

Ability to opt out and live in peace would be nice. But the PKers would probably never tolerate that option.

More free time irl wil keep me quite safe, lol.

Mining in safety = Cove, Delucia for starters ... even Minoc Lower Mines.

If you are asking for a place to not have thieves and pks bother you ever, you are looking for Trammel, which was not created during this era.

the only thing i think would cut back on this, is only allow 1 account, hence people not having 1 of every template.
But as well all know, this wouldnt happen...

Why not go to a mine where no one goes and use hiding.

I used to mine in this mine next to deceit all day long on Divinity when they had 1k players and most were red without any problems.

If you can't avoid to be PKed here while mining, you are probably not even trying.

Sounds like a guy who would stand in the middle of a highway and then cry because he got hit by a car.. Hello?!

It helps if you read the post that you respond to before you respond to it.

Miners can avoid thieves and pks in the same way everyone else can: Miners can recall and keep their belongings in a locked box. Indeed, I have never been pk'd on my miner, simply because I avoided mining in spots where there are likely to be pks. Unless you are mining at Minoc, I can't imagine you would ever have much problem in this regard.

I believe you are looking for Trammel. If so, this is not the shard for you and there is no sense in your coming to here to complain about it.

I'd have to agree.. killing miners was a classic passtime... Also, you could save up 44k and place a mining house in a discreet location, there are TONS of places to put a house, and im sure plenty around mountains.

ive been mining in minoc since i started (cpl weeks go) and i've yet to run into any PK's. I havn't run into any pk's at the brit mines either. So to say you can't get materials because of PK's is nonsense.

i have a non pvp suggestion, did boats use to tell how decayed they were like houses? i vaguely remember this, and since i wasnt sure about it, i didnt want to start a new thread about it. i thought i remember seeing the name of this ship, then under it, it would state the level of decay "this ship is greatly worn" etc. etc. i could be wrong but i thought that was how it was.
