How's max hp calculated here? i've looked at stratics and uoguide for the formula but stratics says it's "(STR/2)+50+STR bonus", uoguide says it's "(STR/2)+50", and none of those result in my max hp  :?

any ideas? thanks

Don't you think humans don't really have something that makes it worth being one?
what I mean is, elves got a nice bonus to their mana, have better passive detect hidden, are more difficult to track, can find colored ore/wood better than humans and gargoyles and can raisse their energy resistance 5% more than normal.

On the other hand, humans get some shitty bonuses (specialy when we're a no-skillcap shard), for example: +10% to ammount of resources gathered (wow... big, huh?), have 2 passive hitpoints regen (big, huh? kinda useless for most situations, unless you manage to stack additional 10 or so regen), all skills behave like they would if they were at 20.0 if they're below that (you can get them up to about 30 for 300 gold/skill), and they can carry 60 extra stones...so the only one that's really useful is the last.

Not to mention elves also have their own armor in addition to regular gear, and they're the only race that can tame cu sidhes.

Imo, this is kind of unbalanced. I changed from elf to human because i felt like humans should be more able at close-quarters combat, but it doesnt seem so. It's just like elves can cast better and humans can't fight better.

I wanted to express how sad I am to see a weapon so op in this shard...
don't have much to say, i think the stats in it can say it all (50 hit lightning, 50 damage increase and a base damage of 16-22). It AIs for around 50 damage, so most players simply die with 2 hits.
I've dueled people using that spear and the same people with the very same gear not using them, and what's the result? most of them only win duels because of the spear, in other words, the spear wins the fight alone...

Hey, i've been around for like a week or so now, but only decided to post something here now  
So, my real name is Henrique, i'm brazillian.
been playing UO for like 11 years now, and this is a very nice shard  
I may not be the best, but I hope you'll be able to see me if you're into PvP heh

Let's say i wanna go pure mage but got bushido because i was going for hybrid samurai, should i need to get it down with the help of a zero-skill ball? or for example, i wanna create a dexxer char but went a little over 70 magery, so i need to put it down to zero to train it all over, and risk going over 70 again?
I'm j/w if we couldnt have skills drop by setting arrow down, and not having to spend alot of gold on that.

Today i've looked at the donation box and would like to BEG something:
Stop donating JUNK! if you need to raise tailoring, blacksmithing, inscription or anything that wields items while you gain, DO IT NEAR A TRASH BARREL! organize agent from razor is perfect for dumping items into the trash!
I believe there's some good item for starting characters in there, but it's impossible to find it with the ammount of items inside (1939 at the time i looked)

Alright this is it...i don't expect staff to do anything aobut this as I couldnt think of anything they could do (without harming donations)
thanks for reading.
