Title: What's happening in the game right now? Anything?
Post by: NObama on June 04, 2013, 07:39:35 AM
Looking for something to bring me back to UO.  I made a billion off Shame loot, then lost interest.  I'm looking for word of a new story arc with items to collect/farm...anything happening in game?

All that time spent in shame you'd think you would have a Full legendary artie Suit (Non Cursed etc) that you were running around pwning people with!

Nope.  A lot of people make the mistake of trying for the best uber artifact drop possible.  I did it by farming for volume.  I'd much rather sell 10x 50M pieces a month than 1x 500M piece a month.  If I have a bad month, I only make 250M.  If someone shooting for the moon has a bad month, they make 0gp.

Mostly, it was jewelry.  I have probably another 200M in low- med-end splinter weapons that were too much trouble to sell.  I'm excellent at pricing jewelry under the new system.  Really crappy at pricing everything else.

Osi have a slow development in kind of content if i compare with freeshards. I think they need to learn how to go back to the roots and add more desireable content in pvm, pvp and rpg.
If you consider to think about playing on a freeshard, i could refer you to a shard were you can farm a few years :P
Pulling up some starting character is not impossible since you can have 3 accounts and each account getting a few skillballs , 20k gold and a free soulstone ;-)

Is there some benefit to owning a town guild in that capacity?

Also - what is this rumor I'm hearing about new fishin' stuffz?

Hubby's running for office - The buffs look interesting so we thought we should try it out.

AS far as this fishing thing, I haven't played another character since TM's evilness got me back into fishing....well except to go res someone when called  :-)  I;d forgotten how much fun they were.....now I'm getting ready to try out merchant ship and pirate hunting....as soon as I get all the stuff needed to fire the cannons...what a bunch of stuff that takes!

I'm tracking all that stuffz.  It sounded like there was more stuffz.

Nobama nothing really new there.  There was some chatter but nothing besides ingredients to do some new armor modifications that seem to be getting ignored by the masses.  Fishing up treasure chests and taking merchant ships provide some of the new ingredients.

Oh, that's right.  I forgot about that development. 

Darn it, we need to get back to breaking the "random" TMap system for automated farming.  We had a false start with Stealth that never went anywhere...

Does it give you coordinates anywhere? Or is it still just the image of the Area on the T-Map. Honestly I've never done a t-map in my life.

TMaps don't give coordinates, just a big X on a map and you have to figure out exactly where it is. If you decode a map but don't dig it up, it will reset to tattered after 30 days and you can try your luck again. This comes in handy when the chest is knee deep in spawn. The locations are supposedly random. I haven't been to the same spot twice and I mark each location on Cartographer. So far, no way to have runebooks to exact locations though Chessy came up with a unique set of Treasure Map Rune books to make it somewhat easier. http://uo2.stratics.com/shard-pages/chesapeake-shard-directory/csd-treasure-maps (http://uo2.stratics.com/shard-pages/chesapeake-shard-directory/csd-treasure-maps)

Davies locker is good for this. While it does not give you exact coordinates it will get you in the general area.
