If UO is against scripting and there are people who still turn in scripters, what is the percentage of scripters in UO and if so many people hate scripters why are there a lot of new people joining SUO? I am just curious......My guess is that 80-90% script in UO. Would love to hear your thoughts on this :)
-
I'd say 75%. You can also bet that the publicly against scripting actually DO script. I know this for certain. When I was a counselor, guess who scripted and knew of many others that did as well. So when the pius are preaching against scripting they are really only talking for the small minority.
Diversify your UO investment and come play for free on RebirthUO with us. :) I answered question "in person" last Friday evening at Luna bank.

I have often thought of going to a free shard but I have so much on the OSI shards.....and 2 of my friends are collectors......I have 8 accounts and hate paying out so much money for a game.....would be hard to start all over tho :( and yes I know of a person who scripts and turns in others for scripting cuz he calls them his competition.
-
I see people stand in Luna and script all day on one of the most populated OSI shards.. I have thought for awhile that people are reporting less or GM's are investigating less?
-
I did get call on once diring DOOM drop, because I wasn't answering a question. Was hard to answer him since I was AFK hehe. But as I seat down the GM pop up and start taking to me. Yes the do come and investigate. I never get call on for my mules.

I think it may be more than 75% but that is a fair estimate and some of the biggest complainers are the biggest hypocrites. I personally don't page on scripters, but sometimes if they are stupid obvious I will block their recall locations. I figure if they are so obvious that others will page on them then maybe GM's will monitor the shard more.
-
I don't page on scripters, but I will mess with them ALOT!
-
I am fine with scripters. They keep the economy rolling and provide what people are looking for!
Some should use more common sense.
-
Glad to hear that you guy are fine with scripter because that will be weird.
-
Really weird :o

I got pulled into jail for saluting the other day. Was just chilling in my house. *Facepalm*

Let me guess - it was a one finger salute!?
-
More like a 20 Finger salute. Guess they didn't like my army of toons saluting in unison. Thought I was Anti semitic or something.

I have never turned in a scripter ever... But have had my scripts messed with on numerous occasions..... One of the funniest script messing was back when Frost-wood was new... I found a frostwood tree literately outside a red Guild House, thank fully them being red they never called a gm and would just kill me and watch my broken script try to recall for hours.
This lead to my own personal script Vs red war... I would improve the script they would change their tactics, eventually it became a 4-7 player attack on my lumberjack... I developed all kinds of code to respond to the reds the first being wandering healer location, reporting a red death as watching them kill me one time they explained to a new red that they new it was a script because it never reported them, recalling on site of a red, anti poison and healing and finally moving on to recalling near the house and stealthing to the tree... Eventually I won the war... being too hard to kill and when killed came back again in short measure but was alot of fun while it lasted...

OMG that is too funny. I would love to hear the same story from their point of view. Reminds me of one of my mining incidents. I had a miner that would get pk'd in the same spot every time I went there between a certain time frame. I decided to get one over, and made a character identical only I gave him fighting skills along with his mining and magery. I then started mining manually with macros and waited. After about 30 minutes, on my second swing to that location, he pops out and attacks. When I counter attacked, he stopped and I think was dumbfounded. I killed and looted him and then rezzed him. The only thing he could say was I thought you were someone else. It was quite a while before i was pk'd there again.

When I first started afk mining (pre imbuing) I had a pvper camp one of my spots. I finally got tired of it and invested in mage scrolls and a quality pvp suit. I pretended to be afk then I tossed a bola and laid the smack down. I had that screenshot for years until I updated comps. Nothing like slaying a pvp temp with a mule.

I would feel like a huge hypocrite to page on scripters. So I never have. I have been busted once recall mining. Sad thing was, I wasn't afk. I got 'recall bugged' where the client crashes right after recalling. It happens when if you issue a command too fast after recalling. The GM came during this time, and I was working on a script. So when it crashed, I didn't do anything. When I went to log back in, I was banned! I only received a temp ban.
The thing is, I think OSI knows that this entire game would hit the crap shoot if they banned scripting. UO is an amazing game, and I wish there was one like it that developed crafting such as it started. Anyway, mining is dreadful, who would do that without scripting?
I do enjoy what TM is saying. I think it's good, teaches people to write better scripts if someone can mess up your script.
Protip 1: Shout journal messages that are related to their action ;) If someone isn't checking the journal color -_- hahahaha
Protip 2: Block railers with wooden chests
Protip 3: Lead spawn to them that they might not be expecting (Careful, considered griefing on OSI, but scripters aren't around to report you :D)

Dont forget that a very few amount making money on UO.
If i would have a monopol on runics and someone would script those i would report them as well if this decides if my income raise or drop (business related).
My own experience as Power-Scripter was always business factors or people were jealous that i had a certain script or got better results then them.
But not @RebirthUO ;-)
