Balandar

BB, can you find any info on leathers? Also, I heard something about reinforcing armors? How does that work?

Lots and lots and lots has changed. Better read the last couple years on the update.uo.com pages. Welcome back!

I would like to thank Lora. We would not have been able to place this many houses without her help. Since she was able to get on and mark a rune on the 11th, we were all able to place there before others found the spot.

I have always wanted a tower.. well, I finally BUILT myself one! Balandars Mage Tower

From http://uo.stratics.com Using your skill gump, if you have skills at the same level you can choose the title displayed on your Paperdoll. Amongst your highest skills, whichever skill is set UP with an arrow is what will display as your title. If more than one of your highest skills is marked up, or all of them are locked, it goes by the alphabetical skill list of displaying skills (The "old" method). *Note: if you have a champ title this doesnot aply to you that i have seen.*

Hehehehe. I saw your design Liz, pretty neat! More creative then anything I will come up with

This is from stratics, may still apply, but if your old house is still condemned after you transfer it.... Sometimes the old house will keep its condemned status after the new one is gone, and still does not refresh, or after getting rid of the old house the new house becomes condemned. This will happen sometimes, nothing to worry to much about, after the server maintenance the next day you should be fine. That is assuming that the house has not yet decayed to the point of Greatly Worn. For a house that is Greatly Worn could turn into IDOC (In Danger of Collapsing) and fall in the same day. A general rule of thumb is that if you only have one house, after a server maintenance the condemned status will be removed. If you are in the situation where you think the house will fall before maintenance, you will need a trusted friend to transfer the house to. After getting the house they should step in and refresh it, thus removing the status and the decay, and then they transfer back to you.

It does have a use. Double click. Change the picture to that of an eye. Now whenever you look at something, instead of it popping up over the item you hold your cursor over it will show up where that little square is. This way it does not clutter up your screen so you can't see anything behind it.

I lost some pictures and other UO files. Remember to copy uojournal back to your UO folder since it is no longer there.

North American Shards Being Taken Down for Fixes Feb 12 2003 6:06PM CST (GMT -06:00) We will be bringing all the North American shards down (with the exception of Siege) for a short time at 6:10 PM CST to fix three important issues: Players without Age of Shadows-enabled accounts will no longer get the option the claim a Hooded Shroud (previously, these players would get the option, but not actually get the Shroud). We have fixed a wrestling special that had the unintended effect of allowing players to essentially one-hit kill other players. We have fixed a bug that was causing some players’ backpacks to disappear. Any players who have lost their backpacks from their paperdoll should page a GM. We anticipate the shards will be down for approximately one hour. We are still working to resolve the issues with the AOL Legends shard, and we are striving to bring it back as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

I am selling my large brick in fel that I placed in 1998. Need money so I can design my own future home.

They removed the above and replaced it with the following: To make sure our players are kept as up-to-date as possible, we want to take a moment to update you on some current known issues. We’ve identified a bug that’s causing some players’ backpacks to drop to the ground, and in some cases, decay. We are working on a fix for this right now, and we are working on a way to compensate players for these lost items. Players who have completely lost their backpacks are asked to page a GM (we ask that you be patient, as our GM call time is currently longer than normal). Please note that we do have backups of player inventories before the publish, and every claim will be verified. As a balance for a reduction in damage done to pets, the hit point values for pets was intended to be lowered by approximately 40%. In some cases, the hit point reduction has been much more than that. There is a solution for this in testing, and it should fix the problem for all pets, both pre-and post-AoS. With Age of Shadows, player and pet stats (Intelligence, Dexterity and Strength) no longer affect skill levels, which may result in a few points’ difference in some players’ skills from what they had before Age of Shadows. Please note that this is not a bug! Trades opened with runebooks equipped in a player’s hands may result in the items being placed in the runebook gump, instead of the player’s backpack. If this happens, a GM may be called to remove the item from the runebook. Please be aware that the GM call time may be long currently, so we ask that you please be patient. There are several other issues reported on the boards that I don’t have definite answers for, but I wanted to make it clear that we’re aware and looking into them. These include: Grandfathered houses are not displaying a refresh message when refreshed. Boats are not refreshing by opening the plank (although you can still refresh them by dry-docking it). Plants may not operate when locked down. Equipped rune books will not appear while on a player’s paperdoll (the book can be seen if it is unequipped, though). Backpacks are falling to player’s feets at random times when they log into the game, or while running around in the game. (I need all the information you can get on these) Players are able to ban items such as the door from their home. If players attempt to claim Hooded Shrouds before upgrading to AOS, their account may be flagged as having already received the shroud without the shroud actually being given. Our GMs will address this, but players are asked to please be patient if the call time is long on these calls. The stability and reliability of Ultima Online is paramount to us, and we will do everything we can to see that these issues are resolved as soon as possible.

Since our boards are still slow due to the traffic surrounding the Age of Shadows launch, I want to respond to a few commonly reported issues here. We’ve identified a bug that’s causing some players’ backpacks to drop to the ground, and in some cases, decay. We are working on a fix for this right now, and we are returning items lost through this bug. Players who have completely lost their backpacks are asked to page a GM to have those items reinstated. Please note that we do have backups of player inventories before the publish, and every claim will be verified. In order to try and help keep the GM call times as low as possible, it’s important that people not claim items they did not actually lose through this bug. If a player is found to be falsifying claims of lost items, they may have their account(s) disciplined. We acknowledge that’s a harsh stance, but necessary if we want to be able to help all those who have legitimately lost items through this bug.

Cats goes down, Cats goes up, Cats goes down, Cats goes up!! Currently DOWN. And on top of that it is almost impossible to upgrade your account!!

Yeah. Logged in and found out my deed from LB was no longer blessed. Had BB send out a mass message. Also, some other bugs. Do not buy items from vendors. There is a bug where the items will not appear in your pack but you will have the weight. I am glad I only bought 10 recall runes and not 90 some! Just be careful out there and try to do anything other than place a house. Could cause problems for your character.

Your rares may no longer be blessed. Check before you go running off to place a house and die to some monster! Example of one.

An edit is being made to the FAQ posted yesterday about Hooded Shroud Redemption. Age of Shadows-enabled users will not see a gump pop up when they enter the game, but will instead need to click on the help menu button on the interface within the game. They will then be prompted to enter their validation code to redeem their Hooded Shroud. Sorry for the confusion! http://update.uo.com/fyi.html

In the process of conversion, it was necessary to clear the ban and friend lists of all houses. We regret this last-minute decision, but the alternative is to begin the entire conversion process again on all shards, which we do not feel is a good option. We'll keep you informed as we know more, and thank you very much for your patience.

SirArthur (apprentice) 02/10/03 02:10 AM Re: Did anyone get in on the AOS Shard? [re: bullet182] I got on, and have an established char on Pac. I am at my house and I show no regs on my UOassist, so I naturally go and count my resourses LOL I have 90 str and just FOUR of my para pouches KILLED ME ROFL guess I wont be using those anymore so I get rezzed by a wandering healer and decide to go explore, I am now stuck at a moongate running in place Just Be!

This is what I have heard from boards.uo.com. All current land surveying tools in banks and pack will become the new one. All housing deeds in your pack and bank will be converted over to gold and a new housing tool placed in pack.

Oh!!! That's why it never went any further. 534.48 now! Soooo close.

Wrestle matters A LOT. If you do not want to get hit all the time you will need to have it. Otherwise those dexers will cut you to pieces. You may not get interrupted, but you will still get hit.

Assuming I get the correct power scrolls (need to get 120 magery, eval, and med), this is what I will be going for: 1. Magery 120 (at 115) 2. Eval 120 (at 110) 3. Med 120 (at 110) 4. Necro 100 (currently have inscrip at 100) 5. SS 100 (at 100) 6. Resist 100 (at 88.6) 7. Anatomy 60 (at 70) Note: I have 720 skill max. With Anatomy at 60 I will have the equivalent of 100 wrestling. (Anatomy + Eval + 20)/2.

Spear Toss Ok.. best I could get on this was 333.814. Gave up after that.
