@Dwarvey.. You know what i remember the olddays when i was a dexxer and had to run round looking for a mage to in lor me it was fun, and i forget how nice the lighting effects are at my house n stuff on my elf but it is functional hehe

Belated big welcome.. seems amazing that someone could have played these types of games for the exact amount of time uo has been running and never happen upon it, but it looks like you may well have stumbled on what youve been looking for the whole time... Enjoy!

There are several differences between gargs and elf/human, its not possible to "have it all".. Yes, gargs have throwing but they cannot use archery. gargs can fly so they can have all pet slots fighting and still move at mounted speed but they cannot mount pets ever. elves are great for making tough chars as they get 75 energy resist and their night sight frees up an imbue slot. .
The only race to avoid is human as thier "jack of all trades" ability is useless on a no skill cap shard and with the 600 stone weight limit on your backpack and 827 stone rated carry ability at 225 strength makes the "strong back" ability useless too with humans.
Good luck

ooo how intriguing....

Really good man, cant believe i never noticed that big "execute selected" button and i use loads of razor macros but have been using uo for targetting with troublesome results.
Another very handy macro is simply double clicking your pet to mount it.. When shrunk they get new item codes every time but when out they always have the same code so you can mount when in war mode, while running (or when pet's running away from you), when your pet is surrounded or on the brink of death for a quick getaway. A simple "dismount" razor hotkey gets you off all your pets so you never have to double click yourself again
Personally i use "clicking mouse scroll wheel" for "dismount" and "shift+middle mouse" to mount charger. "ctrl+middle mouse" to mount mare and "alt+middle mouse" for ethy so i can swap and change with ease all on one button
same applies for your shrink potion, just a macro to double click it and a hotkey for the macro

I'd like to see voting stones and a way to tithe gold in the doom gauntlet

How about making an option on vendors outside of luna that for a price they will gate themselves (no players afk'ing).. could use magincia like kinda like osi and have the vendor gates created in this way appear there in rows, hovering over the gate would display the name of the vendor.

Also voting could have a tiny chance to drop one of the pandora artifacts in your pack. based on the same systm as crimson's and sand robes now were its not a build up of points over time like doom, but completely random and highly unlikely. I know i'd be holding my breath everyday with a glint in my eye as i voted

As for the pvp battles, iv only just started joining them now my suits getting good and they are cool (apart from the coins not working (and i wish it would put me back where i was when its over (and 1v1 doesnt start without 4 players even though 2v2 starts with only 2 players who then enjoy a 1v1 hehe, strange, but i digress))). I was on when you were running capture the flag test games and i entered but wasnt sure what exactly was going on so we just fought to the death in the normal fashion Maybe there could be a flagpole in the middle and when your opponenet dies instead of death he is frozen for 5 seconds, during this time you can hit the flagpole and when you hit it enough it is yours and you win, however if the 5 seconds elapses your opponent resumes with full health,the flagpole keeps the points you got by hitting it saved up so your rival will have to catch up and if he then kills you, you freeze and he gets to hit the flagpole for 5 secs, first to raise the flag to the top of the pole wins.
I like the idea someone floated about groups or guilds "capturing" towns and having to defend thier continued ownership as others swoop in to claim it for thier own, could use a similar flag system as my CTF idea.

Ok how about this for random events..
Every hour, on the hour somewhere in the world, a crack opens in the ground and a system message telling us only the facet. Around the opening of the crack a group of random monsters spawn, and in the crack, more monsters and a boss. when the boss is defeated the crack seals but if the crack is never found it seals anyway. after the hour is up a new crack opens randomly somewhere else.. Anyone still inside the cavern when the timer runs out will remain in there to finish the battle but no newcomers will see the crack or be able to get in and if the current occupants leave they cannot return either.
The monsters that spawned above ground will remain under usual despawn timers so as you are running through the lands you will encounter monsters you never would expect in that region.
In the interests of pure randomness it would be cool if the bosses could be given a random model, skillset and loot so you might fight a lady mel thats called a drake, looks like an edyn and drops a sand robe or whatever mad combination.
I think this would encourage general exploration, add some randomness to the predictable wilderness and just generally be cool

TOT dye that leaves your weapon the same colour but adds an awesome blood stain

This is all great to read, big up yourself vorspire!!
Im no programmer but if i was the shardmaster here and could wave a wand, here are some of the things i would do.. in no particular order

Bring back the monsterous grizzle and sort out all the peerless's. I like the way they are kind of tiered so some are quite easy and some are enourmously tough, but i would double the monster spawn rate in peerless dungeons as its not the low key drop rate that the most frustrating, its that after you clear out the place your waiting around an empty dungeon for something to spawn, this would halve key getting times and give players something to do in the meantime.

I hear enhance potions has been capped at 50 now, i'd like a removal rune added to the rune crafting menu for "reduce enhance potions to 50" for those with ecru citrine rings with 75 so i can max out the other properties.

The battle necklace could, when awarded spawn with the winners name on it. eg "That person's battle necklace", again, add a rune to the rune crafting manu to remove this so those who wear one without a name have obviously bought it and those who wear thier own can show the world how awesome they are.

A turn in for imbue mats that eventually gives you relics based on points. this would clean up some items and help newer players get thier own relics a little bit more.

PVM events.. for me, i have a great laugh running around choppin and dont care about dying a thousand times but the only people who get anything are script looters coz its crazy in there (fun crazy though) i dont think it would be gamebreaking to spawn 1 pcoin per minute into the bank of any player on the business side of the energy field so after the hour you spent running round like a headless chicken you get a reasonable little something worth about 150k guarenteed.

I reallylike this [sac idea.. would it take all the cash? TBH i end up leaving nearly all the cash as im running around coz i simply cant be bothered to drag it all to my pack but i dont use scripts either.

:Edit.. oh yeah, voting might as well give 1 pcoin per vote, it's not much at all and while i vote to help the shard and not the reward, (and of course i do everyday ) when my client goes whitcreen because iv looked at another window and i relog 3 times to do it. thats gotta be worth an extra coin or 3, nudge nudge, wink wink

Thats all i can think of for now.. Looking forward to seeing the results of all this
Many good things to say, but thats for another thread

4!! bidiby,bidiby,bidibidibid 5!! bidiby,bidiby,bidibidibid 5 and a half!! bidiby,bidiby,bidibidibid 6!! sold your way for  6!!

use stealth to navigate your way around twisted, the only thing in there thats a problem is posiedens limb, sneak past him and and find yourself a nice corner to lure things to you one at a time. The spawn is slow once you have cleared it out

I was always happy with malas being fel, just leave doom out of it. Bedlam has a champ so makes sense being fel but doom is about teamwork, not getting raided. like dwarvey said it makes newer players stay away and everyone has to buy arties off top players

@ dwarvey... Travesty doesnt disco on pandora, trust me i do it all the time and always disco trav
