I learned pretty fast that tiny woodland creatures were not just noob fodder like in most MMOs nowadays.<br /><br />Before UO, my online experience was PKers in Diablo. Someone lobs a fireball in-game, you just take a step to the left like a matador dodging a bull. NOT THE CASE WITH UO. Those fireballs will track you down for-e-ver! I remember a couple PKers ran out of a house (common PKer hidey-hole) and I zig-zagged around trees for like a minute or so before the fireball caught up with me. It took the PKers about 20 or 30 seconds to find my body after I'd died. One fireball followed me through a portal one time. Or maybe I died and then my corpse went through the portal. Either way... adventuring, I found, was a good way to get murdered.<br /><br />I tried tailoring for a while, which was boring. Mining got me PKed a thousand times faster than adventuring ever did.<br /><br />The most lucrative thing I remember doing was thieving, at least until they put in the patch where you couldn't steal through walls. I would just sit in that abandoned house just north of the Trinsic bank and steal stuff from passersby. If I got ganked by a guard, I could usually get back to the house without getting looted and grab my stuff back and start all over (so many naked corpses in that house). However, I eventually gave up that spot when I was out-thieved by someone who stole from me from the second floor.<br /><br />By the end of my time with UO, I learned to whittle my character down to a very monk-like existence. I tried traveling with very few belongings and keeping a journal of strange/new things that I saw while wandering about... that is until I was PKed and someone looted my book :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7197711266721932614.post-91065867383372099592011-08-25T22:31:06.118-07:002011-08-25T22:31:06.118-07:00Ah, UO.

No problem, walk close and yell BANK (or bind a witty phrase with the word bank in it to a hot key).<br /><br />One of my favorite things to do was go grey on purpose. I'd make myself look like a noob and attack an NPC outside of town and hang around the edges. Once some unsuspecting person attacks, I'd slaughter them :) <br /><br />Actually, no, my favorite thing to do was prepare trap boxes which explode and kill the person, and then leave them randomly in town and watch as people walk up, consider it, then finally open it (BOOM).<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back the memories :) BTW, Trinsic was pretty awesome.. but my favorite "home towns" were Skara Brae and DeluciaBrianhttp://brianclifton.comnoreply@blogger.com
