Gotcha. Useful info then.

Ok so ive spoken to some other players who tell me that there are potions of invisibility and mana on this server.  Are they loot only or is it possible to craft them?

What if there was more than just the simple loss of heal poisons available. What if a high lvl alchemist could create potions that sap strength, int, dex.
What if...

There was a poison to drain stamina or mana at a rate similar to poisons effect on health
There was a poison that would act like paralyze instantly fixing you in place for a set amount of time.
There was a poison that caused your character to stop every set amount of time stuck in place as if in a fit of pain or illness.
There was a potion that was created with a poison potion like one of the ones above + explosion potion that creates a gaseous cloud

Might make poisoning more useful or even make some monsters more dangerous

Back in the day plate legs went over pants of any type so you could have extra armor

Yes the guardians. I only just found out about those since I guess my character wasnt high enough in skill to disturb one.

Back in the day I remember the notoriety system before karma/fame.  If you had even -1 point in notoriety you would be grey and EVERYONE would be trying to kill you.  You did not need to be red.

Back in the day I remember when town was safe for all colors and I remember the day they made it where you could kill murderers and greys in town.  It was a bloodbath for months.

Back in the day I remember when a tamer would walk up to a stablemaster and say  "Claim" because they didnt have the ticket system and all of his animals would appear and he wold have to restable them all. If he had dragons about half of them would go wild and be killed by guards.

Open thread to everyone who reads them. Post below your own back in the day snippet as it concerns to Ultima Online. It can be based on a memory, game mechanic that isnt around anymore, etc.

Sheesh Back in the day you could block off cave entrances with chests and no one would be able to enter till you moved them or they decayed. Made mining safer with all the pks running around.

You know I havnt tried that. I will have to but im pretty sure that only applies to corpses.
Cypress what is your opinion of mining and lumberjacking while hidden?

Oh im very aware of the uses of stealth/hiding and I know they are self explanatory.
I did say that it makes the two skills worthless to me. I didnt say it made them worthless to others in what they do.
I know that realistically you would make alot of noise digging or looting chests but realistically you wouldnt be able to resurrect a human being from the dead as a ghost using a bandage. You also wouldnt be able to tame a sentient and intelligent dragon in only a few minutes. The list goes on but its the way the game was developed and what everyone has come to know as fact.
Now ill admit its been years since ive played the official OSI servers so this may be how things are supposed to work but on pretty much every other server ive been to player wise these actions would not reveal you.
Even on OSI server before I quit I was able to hide while mining for example without being revealed.  
Its wishful thinking that it could be changed but it never hurts to ask *chuckles* over a decade of uo experience but player servers change the rules so much that its hard to know whats what from server to server or from OSI.

PS
I do know the effects of looting chests while hidden and I honestly can accept that as maybe easily abused but I guess I got used to it when it comes to mining.  As for continuously mining valorite AFK mining is against the rules.  Players have been using hiding to make work easier for years and its worked out so far.

First question is...
Is the hiding/stealth system as it currently is a modified version specific for this server?
   The reason I ask is because you cant seem to do ANYTHING while hidden or stealthed yet you can on pretty much every other server in existence.
Second question is if the first is true.
Is there anyway to talk to the staff into changing it back to where you can still mine, loot, etc while hidden/stealthed.
*chuckles* This may be a stupid excuse but it pretty much makes the two skills worthless to me except for travel, hiding to go afk.

Alright to save time and effort im going to explain how to setup a agent that will make looting chests easy and quick.
This method is better used for stackable items to at least clear up the chest.  You will have to look at individual magic items aswell and remove them from the chest manually but it still speeds up the looting.
First off im going to start off from the beginning on how to setup the agent and add items so if you already know how then you can skip ahead a few steps.

1. In the razor window select the "Agents" tab.

2. In this tab click the selection and scroll down till you find restock-1 (or one of the other restocks if you already have the first used.)


3. Now it will bring up the Restock agent window with the option to add, remove, set amount, etc.

4. Click add then in your UO client it should show a targeting cursor.  Target any item that you wish to add to the agent. When you select it a window should pop up to setup a "amount" to pull out of the chest. I put 999999 which almost guarantees that it will remove all of that stack from the chest. (Note* There is a bug where the amount window may not appear on top of the client and you may have to Alt+tab to the right window to adjust it.

5. Follow step 4 and add all the items as you find them in chests that you want to loot.  
6. Set a hot bag with the button in razor that you would like the loot to go into.

7. Using the macro! Now there are 2 ways to do it from here.  Either click the "Restock Now" button or setup a hotkey in the razor menu for that specific agent. Either way it will create a target cursor and you just click the chest and it will remove the items in the list.


There you go and if you have any questions ask them here. Picture coming soon

Skype was more voice when i got into it. They had their own VOIP service for a while but now its popular as a cam to cam conference call for some businesses. Not a big fan of cam to cam so you wont be seeing me do it *laughs*

I know there is no Vent or Ts at this time but anyone out there have skype? Ill post my name here if anyone wants to chat some time or maybe work together.
