Ultima Online - Europa ....anyone still there?

HI!

I still play actually. I've left many times but always end up going back! I play on Europa and am pretty well setup. If anyone would like to come back I can help you out with suits and weps :) I also own a Luna shop so if you want to sell stuff, you can. We could have a Ocuk guild!
 
I remember Lord Ulysses! There was a two storey villa within the guard one near East Brit Bank. I was friends with a guy who helped run it as a shop. Think he was called Thor. He gave me a gold shield when I was new. I was amazed.

I was Thor ;) The 2 storey at east bank was owned by a woman in america who i was close friends with (hence why i use to work in there ) She had many many server first rares and a few castle .. We used to look after her houses when she went on holiday . Refreshing 40 accounts (200 houses) was a real chore lol (just remember her name Lady Blir)

I pretty much played from the start .. Mostly on europa but did dabble on drach but was more for shard trading and house looting .

Few of my chars were Raptrojo/Shaft/Persil/Thor (and many more i forget ) .
Was a Smurf for over a year till we got derobed and our accounts closed .. was a sad day .. Think i played for roughly 8 years and had 13 accounts (you do the maths ) mostly to hold houses .
I owned the 2 storey in the tunnels at wind near the choas shrine . Also had a shop there plus a few other high value houses near pvp spots etc .

I do miss it but i tried to go back and it is just not the same . I think its best laid to rest .. RIP Felucca
 
OMG just noticed 2 hot 2 trot from your pics, SpunkydaMonkey??? From Burstfire?? lol

I can't remember my main char names but I was a counsellor under the name fearless. Think I was given to you by Wig and Wren after I had just been promoted and you told me off coz I was buying from player vendor on my staff char lol

Haha, never thought id see another burstfire player here. Yeah thats me :D

I used to do peoples name changes then keep the money and transfer it to my player char, only used to use is for regs and pots though as I used to get ganked a lot and always wore decent armour. Also cycle through people to find where they are pvm'ing and go kill them :(

Played on a few servers since but nothing compares or is anyway near how burstfire used to be :(

How long did you play on there for?
 
I was a GM on MPZ and Burstfire...
Spent many a happy hour hanging around with Adrian at BB.

I was also the guy who introduced WS and most of 2h2t to UO... :]

The politics on that server makes me laugh looking back on it. So many egos and little emperers.

funk yeah!!!!

I'm going away to i46 tomorrow so am well up for many hours or UO over the next few days if ya fancy it? :)

ingame name: RanmaRembo <<< lol xD

feel a bit retarded running about the place atm, still got quite a bit of gear.... not that much money tho :( only like 9k gold... tho i might have put some in cheques in my bank and over looked them.

got any voice comms? my clan has a mumble server and i'm sure thegoon wouldn't mind if a few people jumped on :) currently got all my characters on europa in the inn next to west brit bank.

what client are you running too? i'm trying the enhanced client but i'm not too sure if i like it or not.... I like how you can change a lot.... but i found i've also lost some options too :\ I do like the drag and drop hot bar... that's pretty useful... reduced my frantic slicking a bit ;) also managed to get razer working? cos i still haven't hehe

spent about an hour last night running around the brit GY with my blessed sword i got as a reward and roflstomping everything in sight.
 
also dammmnnnn! people had a lot of accounts!!!!!

although i do also remember when i first joined the subscription was £2.49 or .99 ? dirt cheap... I too played this when i was about 13 or there about so was affordable as my pocket money wouldn't go on beer for another year yet ;) hehe

bring back cheaper subs!!!!!!
 
I hear that UO automap has bitten the dust in recent years. I have also heard of work arounds to get it working but I have to say that if I ever did make a come back to UO and found I had to do without UO Automap, especially with its house logging ability and all the shop icons etc, it just wouldn't be the same.

The only other game to come close to UO for nostalgia for me is MOHAA, which curiously took over my life right after I finally jacked UO in. I pity those who didn't play UO back in the day, for them they probably have no idea what real nostalgia means. I can't ever see WOW being thought of in the same light, like 10 years after it also finally closes down. Being a UO player its kind of being a Vietnam Vet, "You weren't there man!". Infact, I had a macro to say "River Bravo Two, Fire mission at my coordinates" when ever I cast an explosion coup de grace on the Ogre Lord in Shame, ripped off out of Platoon.

Risky!!!! that was my player name I think lol.

played there for a fair while, I wasn't there when it was MPZ though.

It was, but that's part of what made it I think. I'll never forget being scared of some guy called Pavement Fridge (or something along them lines) who was previously banned but came back. I saw him and just ran lol.

Can you remember your char names??
 
Think I remember your name actually.

pave wasnt ever banned I dont think he just left. Wild stallion was banned. I take it you know adam(ws), felix and lee(nol) then?

It was only the core of crumbs! that were in 2h2t, quite a few of the players were portuguese. What as your char yamahahaha.

2h2t era was probably the best era for me, if not that then when crumbs!, bhunters, pixies and retribution ect were all fully active and bb was alive to massive house and guild fights. North minoc was full of traders and miners and you couldnt go anywhere without being pk'd :D
 
Heh, I know of all them names but never spoke to them. Maybe felix once or twice as I remember we killed each other a few times (read: me only getting him once or twice lol). It may have been Wild Stallion that I am remembering then.


Those guild names bring back some memories :)

I think Rolypoly is a member on these forums too.
 
UO will always have a place in my heart, being my first MMO and quite frankly the best I have ever played to this day, although trying to mine to level blacksmith pre trammel was a pain in the **** but made it so rewarding every time you made something new :)

Introduction of trammel some people hated it, but wasn't enough to ruin the game like how SWG went.

Planting my log cabin in Moonglow right on the corner as you come down from the city was a happy moment. Camping it was a complete night mare ;) as everyone kept saying different times when you could place the deed.

Proud moment would be taming my first nightmare & White Wyrm, not so proud moment would be selling those blue ice sticks that looked light light sabers (can't remember what they were called) for 1 million as was one of first to find out about them and get one lol. That's another thing I loved about UO was being a tamer. There hasn't been any other games out there that even come close to an animal tamer like UO and I really wish there was.

Just everything about the game from early days up until the final days before major changes took place was amazing. Even saying recdu to get from Moonglow to Papua and recsu vice verser added the little bit more excitement.

Does anyone remember the phoenix armor :) Not my pic but was always envious when I saw people wearing it with that bright orange glow.

Rares I had which people who were collectors were offering me silly amounts for were Santa tunic remember getting bids of 30 million +, Singing ball again silly amounts and an item bless deed.

I played on Lake Superior and Europa for a few years (AceR and Ace Rimmer, Minax4life!), I used to hang around with Bugs Bunny (in game and IRL) before I left the OSI servers.
I remember selling a true rare Kettle of Wax and half a Marble Seat to Jingo for rather a lot of gold. :)

I had a few on my main, I still use that handle elsewhere though... (I got banned by Wig - long story). Quaker, Hoxton Hero and The Hand Of God were my other ones.
I just had a look on my MSN and you're on there mate, with a little picture of your little man with a paintbrush in his mouth as your display pic! Haha... How random is that?

I remember AceR and Ace Rimmer, no idea where and when, but 100% recognise the names and know that we definitely did something together in the game lol.
 
anyone know the size of UO when updated + Razor?

Wondering if it'll fit on my work PC for these long nights I have coming up :p

Can't be more than a couple of gig if I remember correctly.

yea i think after patched it's just over 2 gig, maybe 2.2gb......only installed it the other day and trying to remember the value i saw on the patcher. razer is like 2 meg xD

does anyone know how to get razer working with the osi servers. as i've said previously, i can run it and the client no problem (classic client) on free servers but it crashes when trying to log in on osi servers.

Yeah I remember the name, and that is random haha! never really log into msn anymore, used to get so much spam invites i refused to sign in anymore. I got banned by wig too for nuking lucifus's staff and player chars and houses lol )

upon obviously this comming to light, I was banned and I then told wig how much I had cheated on my staff account in the past. Not for pvp gain as i was always fair and stayed true to that but mearly just finding people in dungeons to go pk instead of having to run aropund them all anyways, thus just saving time really, sponsoring someone a full 9xgm char so he would come back and play with me lol.

Also there was a bug that if you dropped gold on your house floor, when you returned it would appear gone and you would have to cast cure spell to find it, thats how I hid a lot of my money, just leaving it in a corner in my house it wasnt visable on my staff account either unless you cast cure.

Could stand and mine on my player char and pretend i left my staff account logged in when dual screening, you could click the spawn to see what i was actually mining and move on if it was poor ores. same with alchemy, used to run around making pots on my gm char, instantly created due to having around 9k skill and never fail lol

I just used to do anything but avoid the obvious .dupe tags and so forth. placing houses then scrapping them, or building houses on the gm planes, waiting for the last day of rent then scrapping it so it just looks like it disapeared but the safest was to just rename someone or any other donation sink.

What can I say, I was made Gm when I got bored and fed up with the game, kept getting sick of lamers and gankers and so forth and wig messing with stupid necro and poison scripts, the only thing that kept me playing was but a few people, them I made their chars into something worth fighting alongside. I cheated only to provide myself with armour and regs ect so I didnt have to farm and could just log in only to pvp as thats all i played uo for

Woo, Lake Superior! =D

Had most of my characters there as for some bizarre reason I had a much better connection than to Europa.

Turran - 120 Tamer/Swordsman
Jesup - 110 Mule =P
Macros The Black - 110 Mage

I remember my elation at getting "Glorious Lord" title for all of about 5 minutes before my fame decayed again :D

Long post about being the least abusive staff member
I'm jealous. I didn't even do anything wrong, but Wig wanted to be part of the cool kids gang (And failed, despite his best efforts) and banned me along with WS. He also spitefully deleted all of WS's PvP trophies and other bits, which soured the relationship between me and him.
He ended up as a teacher, I wouldn't let him near any kids...

As far as the 'fun' you had as staff, fair play really. The PTs made the game pretty unpleasant and the whole thing turned into a power trip for Wig. I was never a big fan of PvP or PvE, the politics was always more interesting (to me) at that point.

It's a shame they'll never ever make another game so punishingly unfair as UO, that was where *all* the fun came from.
