Public Bugs / Co-owners can axe certain items they didn't place
« on: October 08, 2013, 04:57:16 PM »
from a silly person on stratics that doesn't want to share bug info:

"Coowner Are able to axe some of the deeds in houses they are coowned to even if the house owner has placed them. Just letting to you all know, and no I will not let anyone know what can or not be axed so don't ask. All I'm doing is letting you all know so if any of you are missing deeded items you placed a coowner most likely axed it."

Public Bugs / Ingredient Dupe
« on: September 30, 2013, 04:17:41 PM »
I've been hearing a lot about an ingredient dupe involving commodity deed boxes.   I don't have the time to look for every bug in the game like I used to.  So I'm putting this information out to the public.

Is there any truth to these rumors?

Does anyone know?

Pursuant to our standing policy, major bugs will yield access to the exclusive private bug section.  If you're looking to exploit and benefit from the knowledge of additional exploits, this is your way to cash in that bug in another fashion.

Public Bugs / Temporarily uncurseable
« on: December 19, 2012, 12:35:47 PM »

Uncursable


This bug makes anyone temporarily immune to the resist debuff in the magery Curse spell.

1) First you need a friend or second account with a necro-mage.

2) Cast Evil omen on the target you want to be debuff proof on, then cast Mass Curse after Evil Omen.

The targets stats (str, dex, & int) will decrease, but higher resistances will not drop to 60s.

Using an apple will remove the effect as will the timer, and you would need to repeat steps 1-2.

This might have some use for someone somewhere at some point.

Computer Rigs / 2007 Mac Mini
« on: August 24, 2012, 08:27:20 PM »
It currently has 4gbs of ram (3.3gb addressable)
2.0 ghz core 2 duo processor
intel gma 950 graphics (oh well)
256 GB SSD

and it runs completely silent.  No joke, it was quiet before the SSD.  I dont even heard it anymore.  I might upgrade the cpu at some point.

It's my beloved 2007 mini, and I refuse to let it die.

Off Topic / What to buy with my UO gold
« on: February 26, 2012, 07:56:51 PM »
 I feel I'm going to need more cool new toys...

So I'm thinking the next toy UO should buy me, should be a tv..  My current tv is fine but its not a flat screen and its not hd.  it's just an older medium sized quasar tv that has a good picture and amazing sound.

I'm thinking approximately 40 inches, obviously 1080p.  Any suggestions?  Cost is a factor, but quality matters.

General UO Chat / HOUSE DECAY BEGINS AGAIN 1/16/12
« on: January 11, 2012, 05:53:32 AM »
Here's what you need to know.

Houses will begin to decay that day.  Therefore they will be falling on sometime between friday and sunday, depending on how and when EA actually starts the decay timer. Standard timer is 5 day cycle.

This site has an idoc searching script. It works, and it'll save you time.

HOUSES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FALL ON THE 16TH.  Don't panic if you're not on that day.  The most likely date of collapses will be on a weekend.  Competition will be fierce.

If you plan on doing felucca idocs, MAKE STEALTHERS.  Most of the people here are not top tier pvpers and you're not going he-man on those who are.  Plan ahead. a stealther takes only a day to script up.  So don't miss out if you're bad at pvp.  If you have exploit info for idocs, submit it to gimlet or I before that date.  The increased value of those exploits may earn private section access.

Off Topic / thinking of getting a new mac
« on: December 25, 2011, 12:09:39 AM »
I run an older intel mac mini.  Off the top of my head I believe it has 2 ghz, 2gb ram, tiny hd, and integrated graphics.

clearly it's about time to let the thing go into some kind of retirement.  However,  I have a VERY limited student's budget.  The question is, "which mac?"  No, I won't get some generic pc.  PCs have been unreliable, windows gives me ulcers and thats not the point of this thread.

Which mac?  Even if I have to buy an older refurb mac (ideally nothing older than about '09)

Public Bugs / Holiday Card Bug
« on: December 04, 2011, 05:54:01 PM »
There is a relocation Bug with the Christmas 2011 Card. The
Card changes the senders and receivers Name each Time
you move it. (you can move it in your backpack until your
favorite GM Name shows up).
Now comes the funny Part: get a tamed Giant beetle, give
the beetle a funny Name like "the askchopper exploiter" and
put the Christmascard inside the Beetles backpack. Viola
the Christmas Card's Receivername has changed to the
funny Beetle Name.
When done, Sit Down on the Beetle, Log Out and wait until
this Bug is fixed Your Card might have that Name
Permanent


I got a bunch of messages that this is a bug. Too busy to test it.  But it doesn't look awesome so I'll post and let the masses test it.

Public Bugs / Not so much a bug as a good way to abuse a game mechanic
« on: October 14, 2011, 02:06:26 PM »
When you make new accounts (even those free trial accounts), the new characters start with new player tickets.  One of the rewards you can get from the new player tickets are fireworks wands.  The fireworks wands are worth 10k clean up points.

It's not the best abuse of game mechanics but it could be profitable.

Public Bugs / odd escape bug from t2a and dungeons

How to teleport out of T2A & Champ spawns & other non-teleport areas...

Use a personal attendant & "Trick or Treat" him repeatedly until your teleported to a moongate.  I wrote a quick script for this & it's not a bad way to get out of a spawn area.  Especially if your in a field battle & holding the island for instance.

Newsman's note:
This isn't a practical bug, it's actual value is next to nil.  But It is a bug and it does work and someone else might be able to benefit from it.
