few things that need to be deleted in game

I've never understood the animosity towards tamers except when they try bully a feeding ground but that really has more to do with the player than the pet. The Pet is just the extension of the player.

How much skill does it take to be an archer? You just sit there and putt putt with your bow of choice. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking archers I love my archer too as much as my tamer. It's just part of the UO experience.

I am a pet lover for sure especially the Cu Sidhes.... I still want BLAZE!

Knowing what your pet can and cannot do requires some knowledge/skill in the game. During the Vanguard Invasion I scored big with my pets whereas I saw others struggle with the mobs.

Anyways your not alone in your thoughts about tamers there seems to be a large sentiment amongst the UO playerbase that have a dislike for tamers. Me for the life of me I can't understand it.

Well, for pvm that can be said about everything.  For pvp it's usually a different story.  Mages, dexers and archers all still need to 'cycle thier oponent to be able to kill them, unless who you're fightning is a plain moron haha.  Dexers still need to cycle with bleed, mortal, poison.

I'm not saying its easy to become a GM tamer or beyond that.  I know there are a lot of People that have solo'd Boss's and mobs and what not.  The game has always seemed to favor the tamer.  usualy when you see a "Typical" group of people looking to enter a Peerless whats the first question most of them ask?  How Many tamers do we have?  I understand it makes fighting Easier, but just about every event tamers are usually walking away with all the goodies before the warrior or mage that's been running back and forth while the tamer stood back healing/rezing/curing his pet and other members (Hopefully).  Normally I play my Pure Bard, and maybe people feel the same about my Character, while I try to Provoke to difficult monsters onto each other if I fail, its usually results in me either running for cover while the hostile is after me.. now its rare for a tamer to fail a Kill Command and the monster or Pet retaliates in the same manor.
I think the level of monster vs level of tamer and pet should work the same way.

ok this is my first reply on this site and omg no insurance what a joke lol we all worked realy hard to cheat as best as we can to get the uber *bleep* to wear and you recon we shouldnt have it lol play free shard.run round in ya jocks and ask some one to do the same and just test ya skill in undies

Skill left the game a long time ago after AOS.  Those who have the best gear and tweaked their CheatEngine correctly are the ones who will win anymore.  There are a diminishing few people who understand how the game was before AOS, so it's hard to describe the "feeling" of the game in those days.  It's a shame the game turned into what it has, however it did open up the possibility for many other people to start playing.  For starters, I could finally recommend my family to play with the introduction of the Renaissance expansion because I wouldn't have to worry about my Mom getting ganked by all the dudesters out there.

I can't describe what life was like without insurance to ya; you just have to live those days.  In my opinion, I don't want to get rid of insurance, but I want to make it hurt ya if you loose your gimped gear in PvP.  It doesn't make sense to do that with PvM, although with the ease at which gold is gotten these days I think the 600 gold/item charge is way too little.

The whole insurance this is quite new to me being and old returning player. I like the feature somewhat. but I think it should probably be unusable in Felucia. The Greater Dragons are another addition Ive noticed "Already had to tame a few of them being curious" They seem way overpowered to the old school dual dragon tamer like myself...  Anyhow maybe I will come up with more suggestions as I play, only been back for about 1 month.

I did one time on top of Empath Abbey get goated into a PvP fight by Poo from Sonoma on one of his Pk chars.

  I fought against Poo quite a few times while with K-B.  we did factions and a few other things (which is Poo's Domain).  It was quite the fun at times..  He's been PvP'in with a pet for a while now.

[TrailMyx]

I love the idea of the greater dragon, but I still think there should be something special you need to do in order to maintain them.  Gold lust, lust to kill, ignoring orders (general attitude).  They should NOT just follow you around like a puppy...

[luv2luvlong]

ooooo there's a real good thought, having to feed your dragon gold to keep it happy.

And frankly, that goes completely with the mythos behind powerful dragons.  It's a rare day to find a dragon in AD&D land *NOT* lounging on a gigantic pile of gold/gems/bones. 

[Tidus]

they are like raccoons. If it is shiny they want it and will do everything in their power to have it.  Include stick there hand in a can with nails in it, grab the shiny object and never let go even when it means they will die because they can't go anywhere with their hand stuck in the can.... lol

[Cerveza]

I'll voice in on insurance. My thoughts at least.

I like it. It's nice to put together a great suit and items and not worry about loosing them when the server crashes and doesn't come back up for 10 minutes.

That said...

I think that all items should have a value. And insurance should be a set % of the value of the item.

I mean why should insurance for a 5/6/6/5/3 Tunic with NOTHING else be the same cost as an Orny?

Thats just stupid. The more an item costs, the more the insurance should be for it.

If people had to dish out 50k every time they die wearing an Orny, they might consider a change in gear.
