The attitude is still there

I made a poor little new warrier and went to Brit on the Pacific
shard. Stood by the bank and all I said was, "hmmm, I need something
to ride." and in less than 10 minutes I was given a ridgeback, a
check for 1 million gold and offered a house. I'd say that the spirit
of Ultima is still there despite the PKs.

Money in this game is so easy to come by it's rediculous. The econmy is
shot all to hell thanks to scammers, and hacks that handing out a million or
two to some poor soul is nothing amazing.

Nope. And the next thing that happened is someone opend a gate and
took me to Luna and bought me a Book of Chivalry when I asked what a
recall was and how do you do it. He gave me 3500 gold and said now
buy the book then go back in the moon gate.

But the fact that someone WOULD do that as opposed to selling it on EBay for
15.00 is kinda nice to see
Don't get Too disalusioned... Nothing is absolute. There will always be good
ppl in this game and it's kinda
demeaning to them when you blow off nice gestures by "The econmy..." Etc.
Just because the econimy is blown doesn't mean that someone feels that gold
isn't valuable. Point in fact you can sell 1mil on Ebay for more than you
pay for a month of UO.
AND btw, I've never made a million in this game. The high point of my game
was when I realized I had 500K from hunting monsters... (Solens, ie,
reciently) and I have played since '98.

This guy apparently had several million and was quitting the game.
I couldn't take the house because I already have one on Atlantic. If
I had I would have done the same thing thought and give it to someone
just starting.

And why bother keeping so much gold anyway? Once you have a house and gold
for basic supplies and to remodel the house if the mood strikes, what good
is it but a way to tie up some of your storage? I've just over a quarter mil
at the moment and have no real interest in having more. I'm in this game to
have fun not pile up imaginary gold.

Heck, it took me months to raise the million I needed to pay off a
loan, and more months to raise the $500k I need to replace my Malas
house. If it were not for the fact that I have a *sweet* vendor spot
(selling thorns on a vendor reachable from inside of the 'glow farmers
fields), I'd be nowhere near my goals.

There's a lot of folks in the game who don't have millions to toss
around.

To feed my two favorite hobbies in UO; esoteric mace weapons and food
rares.

The trick is to have fun *and* pile up gold. Some days I farm, some
days I just wander.

I have my house and stuff now, so I use my gold to to buy power and
statsscrolls. They are expensive so at the moment there is a
lot of dragonhunting and BOD business. Try to get them myself I have given
up long ago...I get killed all the time by PK:s so I got tired of it. Too
bad they put champ spawns in Fel only, thats the one thing in UO that
really bothers me.
When I have acquired all the scrolls I want to my chars,
I dont know what to do in UO really, an occasional hunt with my guild I
guess, but I like the "build" phase, and when I have 250 stats on my main
fighting chars, there is nothing more to build really....time to move on
soon maybe, or perhaps the new expansion I read a little about can put new
blood into the game (?)

Post the link here. I'll put my last post on that forum.

I wonder if the Devs read that board because they are pkers wanting to have
fun at the expense of others too. Given the trend it wouldn't surprise me.

Well, if you read that mb often, its really frequented mostly by fel players
it seems. Or maybe
theyre just more vocal.
But seeing how the new update will focus on PvP stuff I wonder if devs even
take into account how empty
Fel is.

Well, that one new developer (forgot his name) had the attitude that they
should be designing the game for the majority also. That would seem to
mean Trammel or the non-PvP crowd. I guess they can do both- fix PvP
stuff and add new content for everyone else.

What would I like? Two-handed greatswords for paladins, custom weapons
and armor (that require much questing to build), nameable items like in
Rogue, Khaldun in Trammel's Lost Lands, Powerscrolls evenly for both
Trammel and Felucca and better spawn in the Lost Lands (still seems empty
in Trammel.)

Hiya Ear! My project is done, my Dad is out of the hospital for now and
I'm playing UO again.

My number 1 wish is to have all the champion spawns in Trammel.
Im not saying: remove them from Fel, but add them to Trammel too.
Not only do I think the monopoly pks have on the scrolls is disgusting, but
also:
champion spawns are (IMO) the most fun thing to do in the game right now.
I did a few in fel and if you neglect the lame reds that killed us a couple
of times, the spawns itsself
were great.

You have tasted the darkside my young apprentice. It feels good to benifit
from others misfortunes and to get the better of them. It is appropriate to
deny it in public, but there is no point denying it to yourself.

Do not be too hard on yourself though, its a perfectly natural human trait
that stems back to our most primal instincts. It is merely our society that
has made it "evil".

There are small amounts of people so mentally defective that they feel
nothing when they harm others... then there are cases like yours. I'm
guessing you were torturing small animals at an early age.

Actually it's a mental defect that exists in a very small percentage of
human beings, we often refer to them as serial killers. You should seek
help, with enough work you might be able to replace your retarded sense
of empathy with a rational understanding of why you are are defective.
Armed with a set of ethics you could compensate for your handicap -- and
learn to live as part of society -- not at the fringe with the other 1%
of genetic failures.

On another note. I was in Haven coming up the back road from the
cemetary direction and there was a new looking necro guy. He had a
golden magical bone harvester. I said "My, what a purty looking
golden hooked sword thingie." He promptly tried to give it to me
along with a golden hatchet. Heh.
