EQ, DAoC I believe. They are talking about the unreal engine and the like... but it's all a rumor and some of the OSI reps have mentioned UO2.0 before. So who knows.. maybe it is just another expansion on the UOTD look. I hope not. I really liked DAoC's graphics... but it just wasn't UO. If UO had those looks with the way UO is now.. that would be awesome!. Houses in 3d, riding around on horses in 3d, 3d moongates, Olympus.. it would take a hell of a lot of work I bet to do something like that.. but it would be worth it!

UO2.0 is not UO 2. It is Ultima Online in 3d. Someone slipped and let the information out and people have been talking about it on the uo boards for a while now.

Dwar MetalForger: GM Tinkering, GM Mining, GM Blacksmithing, GM Bowcraft.

Derkin: GM Tinkering, GM Carpentry, GM Tailoring

UO has a lot more social interaction then DAoC. That is the main reason I went back to UO. I got tired of the same ol' same ol' in DAoC. Logging in to kill monsters to gain levels. That's not much fun. The only thing DAoC has over UO is it's graphics. Maybe UO2.0 (rumor) will change that. I have yet to find a game with as much content and social interaction as UO.

For those already with accounts and characters created you can now upload a picture of your character.

[*]You can now upload your character's pictures.

[*]Tweaked the roster subs so it runs slightly faster.

[*]The everquest templates have been completed and accounts can start being created. Contact Eldoran Nobleheart with your main character's name and email address if you are in SLoT. If you are in UO and in SLoT click the Join button under games to have access to create EQ profiles.

[*]Next up will be either the Shadowbane templates or DAoC.

Another thing. To have your Rank or Title changed on the profile script contact Borg, Wolf, Ser Brightblade or myself with your rank and title. Include your characters name, not your account name, but the character that you created.

All PGoH members need to send me their email address and their main character's name in the guild. Best method would be to ICQ me at 6063294. .

I am running way to many programs to even try to attempt running ICQ now. So if anyone needs me post on here or send me a PM. I'll check the boards every now and then.

Your sent items or inbox is to full. Can't send you any messages.

I have been trying forever to just get a runic deed if nothing else. I have around 20 or so 'crap' deeds that would only give me a sturdy shovel. I stopped making those.. waste of ingots. I have yet to encounter anything above a shadow deed.

Just a thought on the "scenario" thats going on right now with Wolf and all.  I personally am enjoying it quite a bit, and many guildmates ive spoken to seem to also.  There is one thing that bothers me though, and thats the fairness of the skirmishes.  Its typicly one or two "possessed" making a mad run at the castles, against impossable odds.  

Well, there might not be very many of them.. but about the rushing at the castle against impossible odds... They are mad. They are 'possessed'.

Things do happen in this game that cause chaos among certain groups. Should someone do something wrong to you the best way of proving yourself lawful and them a criminal is to have evidence. For this we use UOJournal. It will keep track of everything that shows up in your journal in UO in a text file. I forget where I got this program.. I have been using it for years. Great little tool. I am not sure if it will work with the UO-3d or not.

Just remeber to have these "servents" youll have to fight in wars.

The profile script is coming along nicely. The ETA on it is somewhere around the 17th of July for the initial release. Sooner if I can GM all of my character’s skills in UO.

Some FAQs

Q: What is the profile script?

A: The profile script, aka BPS or Balandar’s Profile Script, will allow members of The Honor Empire to create character profiles for all or any of their ‘avatars’ in the various games that T.H.E. is a part of.

Q: How many characters can I create per game?

A: As many as you like. There is no limit on the number of characters, but only create characters that you have enrolled in the guild and that you wish to display on the guild roster.

Q: Will everyone know that Bob is the alternate of my main character Joe?

A: No. I was going to add a feature where characters would be grouped together according to the user’s account but I have decided against this. If you create Bob and Joe, nobody will be able to tell they are related unless you include the same ICQ number or other communication information for both.

Q: Can I create multiple stories for each of my characters?

A: Yes, this will be included in the first release.

Q: I play both SB and DAoC, can I create characters for both games?

A: Yes. The script is designed to allow users to be in multiple games.

Q: I want others to know that Bob is my alternate, how can I do this?

A: There is no direct method for linking two characters together. If you wish them to be known as ‘family members’ to each other you could write a short story for both and mention their ‘alternates’ or ‘family members’.

Q: Can I upload a picture of my characters or myself?

A: There will be an option to do this, but most likely not in the initial release.

Q: My rank says unknown, how can I get this changed?

A: Contact your guildmaster or one of the guildmaster assistants.

Taming: Don't care

Barding: Don't care

Earthquake:

Since most RP guilds right now are allied via the War option... if they cast EQ or some other spell they are going to hurt their allies instead of their enemies. So it doesn't really help out much for us.

Felucca Dungeon changes: Whatever

AR changes on Plate:

Everyone will want to wear Valorite, this is a real pain. I can understand the new leathers for us mages but 86 some AR on Valorite with a shield is insane. Next they will be beefing up all of the monsters and magic armor will be pointless now. They should place colored armor on monsters as loot now.

GGS and no power hour:

I don't like this in the least. It will take to long to get GM in anything, which is the reason I am trying to GM all the skills I want GMed before pub 16 hits, everything except for resist and poisoning. I think those will be easier after the publish... well cheaper at least.

Skill and Stat scrolls: Cool

125 in any skill now without scrolls:

We'll see a lot more 110/10/115 type characters. Good for Mind blast.

Tailoring Bulk Order deeds:

Works for Blacksmithy.. might as well have it for the tailors as well.

Summoning:

5 Slot rule per person... I dislike that. Can't ride my mount and have a demon. And Balandar is not exactly a good type of person and likes his Demons.

Ethereal mounts will now have a 3-second “summoning” delay: GRRRRRR!!!

Players will no longer be able to “run away” from arrows/bolts:

Archery has been kinda low on the skills lately.. about time they do something new for it other than slayer bows.

Unarmed “to-be-hit” changes (chance to get hit while unarmed is now the better of either Wrestling skill, or an average of Anatomy & Evaluate Intelligence):

More tank mages. I am not going to be changing Balandar's template for this. There will be more healer type mages now then before.

The dexterity stat will no longer affect at what point in the swing animation a hit or miss occurs:

This will not help people who use spears.

Mace weapons will now do less damage to armor then before:

Nerf Macers now!

Housing Changes: Whatever.. I only have one house now anyway.

Yeah, I have it. No time to play it though.. trying to GM a 1,000 skills before publish 16 hits, finish the profile script, and study for my abnormal psychology tests.

Are your plants in the bank or your character's back packs?

heh, Welcome back indeed!

It's out? Didn't know that.

New color is Violet 6. This is the darkest violet on the speical dye tub.

AHH..It arrived in my email..guess I am a sucker!!

Should I make a poll?  Should the emmisary be held hostage?

I wouldn't recommend that you do that. I have been working on a profile script project since last year. It'll have that function, most likely not when I first open the script to use though.

Basically it will allow users to create profiles of their characters for any games that T.H.E is currently participating in. I’ll also be including abilities for members to upload character pictures as well as a real life picture. I have a ways to go on it still. It is currently at 4,000 lines of code, around 57 pages.
