With all the lag recently maybe its time for a little cleanup.  You can wander all over the world and see houses full of items that are owned by people that havnt played in so long. Most very likely will never return to this server. Why not clean some of them up and lower the item count on this server. North of minoc I have a house and all around it there are other houses owned by people ive never heard of and ive told the names to some other older players that dont even know them.

Does anyone here play anything other than UO? For times when the server is down or you need a break?
The list for me is long  and changes weekly *laughs* Satroys can vouch for me there.

Ive always been a fan of strategy and shooters.

I love the command and conquer series but also enjoy supreme commander.

How about this for a idea. If the server goes down for what ever reason your character returns hidden so that you dont need to worry about dieing before you log on or if you get frustrated and dont want to return for the remainder of the day.

How about a fixed object similar to the ankhs that when used will withdraw maybe 5k(up to debate) from your bank and then bring your corpse to your feet. For those times when you just cant get to your body and no ones able to help.

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

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.

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

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.

I cant seem to get pack verifying acct. I hope its not just me because I was in a dungeon with eric and dragons comming our way *laughs*

Everything you hear that is added to a UO server is always to help players or expand on a once useless skill.  How about this for a change? Add a new type of magic item system.  First create a hidden enchantment possibility for items that are magical.  They only appear if the item is more closely identified by wand or item id otherwise they appear when the item is worn.  If a item is equipped with the hidden enchantment 2 things will happen to the wearer. 
1. The item will be stuck to the owner.  It cant be removed from their person or from their backpack depending on the item.
2. A debuff which was previously hidden appears on the item and is applied to the wearer. This also reverses all positive enchantments the armor would normally give.

Types of Curses
remove max health
remove max mana
remove max stamina
damages the wearer until only 5 hitpoints remain.
removes a large portion of health which shows as damaged health that does not heal
weakens attack damage
weakens spell damage
slowly damages other items equiped
Annoyingly talks to you revealing you when hidden and perhaps if scriptable makes them more easily noticed by monsters. Think singing sword

The list goes on and on but ill stop there for now.

Now there is only 2 ways to remove these cursed items after they have been bound. 
1. Pay a npc mage/healer or perhaps donating at a shrine which causes the item to be dropped into the backpack or be reset to default if its a useable magic item (ex magic harp)
2. A powerful (120 skill) player mage who uses specific reagents including components that are not typical such as a apple or raw ore.  I had ideas for this system as well but i wont post it all here unless someone shows intrest.

I know kind of long winded and maybe missing a few basic english grammar and punctuation but i get overly excited when I have a good idea at least in my eyes.
