LukkanMortain

A big thank you to Ser BB for that account, now my wife can actually have fun, shes been putting in soooo much time on a tamer and shes about to go back to work and wont have time for skill gaining, and I have another thief and some more characters to play with!!! Very glad to keep this account in the guild.

As some of you may know already, my wife is being transferred to Ft. Campbell KY on July 1, so i wont be to active for a few weeks. Right now the hackers and exploits in this game have driven me insane and as vindictive a son of a B#$ch as I am, most likely Im gonna get banned. To be honest I really dont care anymore, I havnt had fun in this game for the last 2 weeks anyway. So be safe, take care of the guild, and Ill try to be back in a few weeks. I wil have ICQ on periodically so Ill still be available for a holler ever so often

OK, just felt I had to put out my 2 cents, of course others may believe its a dollar and a half!! * chuckles* When having a party go to a dungeon spawn, these few things need to be kept in mind: 1. Know who is in your party at ALL times. I choose to keep my ICQ on and let ppl know if theres an entry into the party plz ICQ me. 2. It is REAL hard to see all the party chats with "you have gained in valor" spamming all over the place, be patient, repeat your need if necessary, but DO NOT SPAM!! it can close ppl out at times. 3. Understand that there is a 95% chance you will see a red in the dungeon. It is a 100% chance that red is not alone. It is a growing chance that he may be accompanied with blues. Be wary, be on guard at all times. Your party must have a plan of attack or retreat, MUST! or confusion will arise and all will die. Here is my party's usual plan of attack yours may vary. When a red attacks one in the party, party chat one word, RED. All spawn attacking stops until the reds are cleared out. I mean cleared out of the dungeon not just off a screen or two. If your party doesnt focus on the reds, no one will survive, your entire party must attack ONE red at a time. If you mount enough force on them, they will either come back with more, or leave until you are done. 4. If you choose to retreat, which sometimes is a wise decision, make sure everyone in your party knows the way out, very important when you invite a new spawner or maybe someone not familiar with that particular dungeon. Make sure everyone knows of the rules in fell dungeons i.e. no recalling out, spawn rate a little quicker, and have a rendevous spot AND a leader to make sure everyone is gathered up. That way 5 ppl arent looking and spamming to one or two missing ppl. 5. DO NOT say reds in party chat if there are none. DO NOT think that because you personally have not seen a red that they arent there if someone does say REDS. You need to trust your party and them you. The entire party needs to be on the same page, not one or two fighting off red attacks and the others killing the spawn, needs to be a group effort and a concentrated effort on the SAME goal. To reitterate, the party needs to have the same knowledge of the spawn, the dungeon or spawn area, the entrance and exit, the rendevous point, the action to take when attacked, and where to go when the S hits the fan. Only the party leader should invite latecomers, that way you dont have 3 or 4 ppl showing up not in party, and have no idea where they are or what to do. Remember even 4 year vets may not know how to do a champ spawn, so Preparation is the KEY to success. And as always, my old favorite----When in doubt, get the HELL out!! Feel free to add to this or debate anything Ive put out. This is only to help make champs enjoyable for all. I know when I go with Kodoz, Triston, Cheblis and Marcas, I USUALLY have a great time *winks*!!

Be safe my friend, we'll hold down the fort for you!!

IM confused??? Your things were open to friends and someone on your friends list stole it all?

I too have been spenfding way too much time in the realm, we are moving in two weeks and after that i will hope to only be in the realm late nites and early morn. Logan, makes me feel good to serve an emperor with his head in the right place....HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!

I want to thank each and eveyone of you for such great time. You all are the reason I came back to UO. It has been great and I appreciate all the help I have received in skill training and such. Logan is a great leader and Im sure Kodoz can fill the ranks up quickly he s good at that. I hope to see you all around Brittannia and greet you with a warm hello. *Drops purple apron at the doorsteps of Olympus*

You know me Cheb, Always up for a spawn. IM a Knight of Justice also. I would like to know if anyone is collecting the skulls as I am. But if you need any help Cheb Im with you.

Branwen, Please dont think ill f me fo not responding, but my kids are my life. Ive quit working altogether for the next few years just to concentrate on seeing them grow up, If anything like that or anything evil was to happen to my kids i couldnt bare it, No way, no how. I just cant imagine that level of pain.

Damn the Evil Ones, Damn them All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being closer to my miner brother, Mordred, I already know some real good spots for mining. I shal take up with Marcas, mark runes for some nice quiet spots and return with runes to complete our mission. I can attaned as a guard or send Mordred out to mine.

Ballyn is MIA right now. This is only the Legion side of the Guild also. I was going to list the Trades side open positions, but I just bought this comp and if I did that ID prolly throw it against the wall again. If the members of this guild want to grow, then it is time for us to step up and take a leadership position. I myself do not feel comfortable in recruiting into this guild if the positions of leadership are all open. I assume my recruit, Azrael, saw that since he is no longer returning my msgs. Contact Kodoz or Logan if you are intersted in any of these positions.

OK then so that leaves........7 active??? This blows.

hers the thing though, what other MMORPG offers monthly service less than 12.99 now. Not that Im not pissed, I just did some research and didnt find a single one thats not 12.99. Granted the bugs are aloof but SB is the newst one i know of and they have more probs than we do. Also I dnot want to give up all the time I spent creating in this realm to go start all over again.

Since PUB 18 seems to be giving the necro mage yet another bump up, Ive decided to take on resisting spells as my 7th and final skill. But obviously I need some help. If anyone has sometime and sees me on, give me a shout. Also, Im in need of some really good armor/ leather. To be more4 specific, a piece with magic properties and has high fire resist. The high fire resist being the most important. I know runic kits are expensive so Im prepared to pay for the piece so dont hesitate to ask for payment. BTW, if you dont know by now PUB18 is scheduled to launch on Tuesdays morning maintenence.

Well to put it bluntly...An outstanding event!!! Thank you all for showing up. Hopefully we can do this again next week. Akroma,Lasher,Triston,Bishop,Earwen,Kodoz,Cheblis,Leyea thank you all for participating, I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!! If you guys have any suggestions for changing things around for the next time, post here and well discuss them. As for the rants on the new UO rate hike, this hurts soo much. Last time I played during rennaisance, I couldnt get my wife remotely interested in the game. This go around I dedicated ALOT of time in the guild, skills, and also got her an account!! Not to mention coming back in just enough time to see most of the elders I play with leave the realm. I hate to let all this work go to pot. Although I also hate to have OSI screw us like this. It is a very hard decision to make. Hopefully, we all had a great time and if some decide to leave, please stay in touch. Lets not let OSI destroy friendships as much as they have my fun in gameplay. P.S. I do apologize for the prizes to being awarded. Some had to leave and we realy didnt realize that we would have to have multiple rounds. I promise next time we will have some great prizes for all. And thank you Cheblis for offering 110 PSs for everyone!!

OK one little change.... Instead of one flag per group, we have decided that each team will wear a cloak of a certain color. The object is to get ALL the cloaks from the opposing team to be declared a winning team. The one flag idea we thought has the possibility of ending real quick. Now each team has a colored cloak, when you die, the cloak is looted. To make teams fair, I will have a number of bags laid out, half with a certain item in it and half with a different item. Obviously those who pick the same item will be a team. Now when you die, your out, plain and simple. If you kill someone who has a cloak that they looted from your team, then the player can reenter play. Remember folks this is all for enjoyment. Some of these rules may not work out, lets jusst have some fun and if ppl like this event we can make it a weekly/monthly event and add changes as we see fit. For right now I am setting the event for 10pm EST, mostly because I dont want my kids interrupting during the event and its also a friday night and I know ppl have things they want to accomplish during prime time. So far heres the participant list: Cheblis,Triston,Kodoz,Earwen, Akroma, Bishop, Lukkan, if we can get one other person, teams are even. If not I will stand out and be referee. PLease ICQ me if anyone else is interested, itll help facilitate prizes more easily. One word of advice, if you have auto insure as I do, it might be a smart thing to turn that off during this event. We are all family and no one should fear losing items!

Yes that is an EV llama!! I have that new magetamer skill!! HAR!!

OK, I have decided to let the first PvP event run at the area Logan has requested. The site is perfect, nice and wide open area, no mass escaping areas, its just right on. But thanks to Cheblis, we have a little twist to offer CAPTURE THE FLAG 1 member of each team will have a "flag" in their backpack. The object obviously is to kill the person, loot the flag ONLY, and make it back to your "safe spot" before you yourself are killed. The winner is declare after the team with thier OWN flag AND the flag of the opposing team reaches their "safe spot". The whole team doesnt necessarily have to be in the safe spot just the holder of the opposing team's flag and the holder of their own flag. As of right now lets make it a learning experience. ALL weapons allowed, all pots, as many regs as youd like, and tamers allowed pets under the CODEX rules(no mares,drakes,dragons,etc.) As we go on with these we may narrow the rules a little for playability. Under these capture the flag rules, the 20 minute time cap for deaths will need to be eliminated. It would be no fun at all to die, wait 20 minutes, then find out the first round is all over. But it will be up to your teammates to rez you. Here's the bait!! PRIZES!!! Cheblis has gladly donated 200k gp and a 110 PS for EACH member of the winning team!! I am hobnobbing some elders tonite to see if we cant get more prizes available but that is outstanding of him to do that for this event. Friday, tomorrow, is the set day of the event, time has not been discussed yet due to the fact that since prizes are being donated, I need a strong count of how many members are willing to participate. When you can, please provide a reply so I can get a head count and organize prizes. I am pretty sure the time frame tomorrow will be between 8pm and 11 pm EST!! This is a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other and learn a different playstyle, and most of all ......HAVE FUN!!!!

IM very intrigued. I like the Novitus Sanctum area. Prom, Logan, if you guys have time tomorrow Id like for you to show me the others areas mentioned. I cant recall seeing them ever. Then we can all decide on the first battlefield. Heck if this goes off well we can try them all!! Id like to keep this as Fellucca as possible so no reg/pots limit. Im trying to figure out how to get tamers involved without killing us all. Maybe a tamed monster limit. Like below a certain level. Does Friday sound like a good time for everyone?? If so tell me what time best suits everyone. I prefer late evening due to the fact I have kids, but if thats not a possibility to get the best turn out, I can definitely sweet talk my wife into handling the kids for an hour or so. But so far Im leaning towards Novitas Sanctum strictly for the reason most of us are familiar with the area and its big enough to roam a little bit. As for weapons, not sure about that, obviously there are some weaps that can kill in a hit or two, but like I said before, as Fellucca as possible.

If NYC doesnt smack you around enough, you can always slide down to Wash D.C. and lets us beat you up a little!! Have a good time man!

OK, due to Comcast being a piece of S ISP, i was unable to make the last PvP tiurney a success, so lets try again. First off, Id like to gather some information as to when everyone wuold be more willing to attend. The way Id like to hold this event is a team vs. team all out war. Meaning we will find a nice neutral area, hopefully not crowded at all, in which both teams will be told the start time and commence warring. There will be sidelines we will mark as to not allow a free roaming of Sosaria. If you exit the play field, you are out, completely. There will also be a SAFE spot for both teams where the dead can go to wait for their 20 minues to elapse. ABSOLUTELY, no waiting in front of the SAFE spots, thats pretty close to a rez kill if you ask me. First team to kill ALL the other teams members without having them come into play again after thie 20 minutes wins. For example, Team 1 kills 2 of the four members of team 2. Finally team 1 exterminated the remaining 2 members but just before that a member of team 2's time limit is up and he is allowed to reenter play. That is not a win, all 4 members must be dead and not able to enter play again, that is a win. Gimme info on when interested members will be able to participate, and I will arrange the rest. This will be honorable, and also give some the knowledge of the Old World without actually experiencing it the way I do, hehe.
