A lot of stuff have changed ...

[Anthar]

So, kind of new guy - came back after around 15 years.
Have some questions to clarify :

1. Multi account ( yes read rules, want to clarify) Can i have 2nd account running that will gather materials on the 2nd screen while playing other char at the 1st one. Script that will teleport to location, gather stuff and unload when full. So automated but not AFK.
2. Auto loot - oh boy someone told me that this is allowed on shard. So pick up stuff like gems/regents/gold and put it to separate bag.
3. Gargoyle stuff is worthless ... from what i got so far all combat related stuff is worthless as those are mostly to be used as crafters.
4. Cursed / Prized etc you cannot remove or modify this tag in any way.
5. Housing, pretty damn expensive looks also no limit as people spam just foundations in every possible spot. Is there a reason for locking so much space with worthless home foundations that i am missing.
6. PVP, while this is ahead of me - do we have some hard limitation other than "do not multibox" that i should be aware of ? Like peacemaking the tamer's pet while it is fighting.
7. What are the serious differences on the shard in terms of mechanics that will be not listed in UO documentation /wiki.
8. Bonding is based on the trained skills or can be done using bonus point from rings etc. (what will happen if i drop below this level?)
9. Noble sacrifice / healing /magery can resurrect a pet or only vet related skills.
10. Why the hell stuff that drop is so buffed with so small population on shard There is no issue in obtaining almost anything.
11. Do we have ability to buy a NPC based home (context : years ago on a different shard there was this possibility and i bought /lived of a very specific home for quite few years - wonder if i could "get back that home" )

With the assumption that the scripting / automating is actually allowed.
What is the best/not breaking rules example of automation script you know - a lot of stuff changed and most of the old stuff that i know is dead.

Thank you for your help.

1) if you will reply to gm check within 2 minutes you're fine with gathering on 2nd account
2) this is not nazi shard
3) everything is worthless if you don't need it.
4) those are negative props, live with it. Oh and you gonna love antique
5) no limits but damn expensive. Empty plots most of the time are for sell or reserved spot for further plans. Housing is being looked at from what i know.
6) no multi acc while doing pvp actions. And man, tamer in pvp? Haha
7) no basic materials in npcs, no selling stuff to npcs, loot balancing attempts based on mob difficulty and risk-reward, customised item drops from mobs (maps, virtue arts, cursed arts etc)
8) not sure here, but i would say basic skill only
9) only vet or vet npc for a fee and with increased skill drop
10) loot is so buffed that noone even gives a shit in picking it up in 99,99% time. Play a little and you'll see that everyone except new players is running in crafted gear, looted gear cannot even come close to what can be made by crafter (with small really lucky exceptions and jewelry, because we cannot reforge it)
11) no

Everything that easyuo can do is allowed here.

Bond animal can be done with using +skill bonus items/

I bet you were never greeted by ki-rin's power, 2 kirins to be precise.
Like it worked years ago and i don't know if this was changed.

It is not about "tamer in pvp" but about having ki-rin and have one following you.
When you get low on health ... person responsible for doing that gets a very nasty surprise if your ki-rins were properly trained.
It was usually enough to nuke most people to their grave

With so much buffed stuff on the shard you can go into a single ki-rin without any vet or AL just for purpose bonding one with gems and riding it later.

This 40-50 points in Animal Taming for the wrath of Ki-Rin could be good investment in many builds.

 

[FireFly]

Ki rin need more than 90 tame to controll. Only one you mount in can use this ability you mention about.
The ability used to work once per 60min.

I wouldnt be surprised if you wouldn't know what pet training has changed in pets usage in pvp. Pets are sluggish when engaged in pvp and their dmg is capped by lot

 

[Dan]

Pets do significantly (50%) less damage to players.

With the pet training revamp came this restriction.

a LOT has changed over 15 years

Mostly beacuse there are a few players on this server who place houses with intent to sell.. but they are super greedy and cant set a price.. When approched to try and buy, they ask for an offer, and if they dont like it.. they just go quiet and dont answer you.. and it sucks that some of these people are afk more than they play

This is kind of bad.
Like area looks bad with those fundaments only and big part of the locations is locked due to this.

Yep. There are people like Omalley that have lots of plots and take the time to build homes and make things look nice. Then you have the other people that just hoard empty plots. Some do it to troll, some do it to "reserve" areas of the maps, others pretend like it's an investment.

Dan has been talking about ways to deal with the hoarders. Hopefully something rolls out soon and some of the more desirable locations start to open up.

 

[Anthar]

Well there is plenty of spots around still i never liked towns tbh.
Now the limiting factor is gold to make home looking nice / and or useful.


What hit me is that you can find stuff like 1/4 in a single gem ... people were happy having 1/2 in their sets
Stuff like 35 DCI is also insane, but i guess ... a lot have changed in last 15 years.
