Hello, I'm Daniel I have been looking at UO for months now and I really like how the game was when it first came out... which is what I think this server is? The just looks amazing the pvp and everything you can do. From all the videos I have watched Being a pvp Mage looks really fun. I have looked all over the internet for a pre t2a pvp mage build but can't seem to find one is there anyone who could type me one up if they have time? The stats and skill build is all I need I'm sure I could figure where everything else is. Thank you. If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.

Welcome Daniel. I believe you've confused the eras. Second Age is if I recall from lore the second era. The one right after the release (don't quote me on this I was born after release of the game). With the era differences tank mages sort of faded into happy hally mages. They are the 'most' powerful in this era. The build often used to create one is:
swords
wrestle
tactics
eval intelligence
magery
resist spells
meditation
100 str
25 dex
100 int
or that's what is used the most, you can guess you'll be using a halberd to swing the heads off of your enemies after casting some killer spells. Hope this helps. As with all UO games. Build a template you'd enjoy not the template we all use. Points for creativity. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them.

I simply googled "Best UO server" this one and Ultima forever showed up... This one was more what I was after... Quick question When I click NPC's I don't seem to be able to trade them? every other server I tried I just click them?

anywhere really- i honestly suggest utilizing the 3 accounts per ip rule, this will help you get that much further- that much faster. 3x healer dexers work wonders for making cash but don't expect to survive on all of your characters if you're jumped by a red or two. You should also read into the Wiki. Many useful hints in that for all player types. Enjoy your new UO home!

Hello Daniel.
When UO was first released, you are thinking about the "dread lord" era.
In that era, the most popular pvp mage was an archer mage.
In this shard/era archer mages are not very good. Your want a hally mage as stated above.
If you want to private message me on the forums a time that you play, I will try to log on and give you some start up gold to help you on your journey.

Thank you all for your feed back much help
I think after looking around I'm going to make a warrior to build up some money before I make a hally mage.
