Hello all,

I was thinking it would be awesome if we had guild channels on the IRC located at the website.

Currently if you are in-game and type with .c it shows up in IRC and vice versa. Is there anyway possible to link .g with guild specific IRC channels that guilds could have? The reason being it would be nice to see chatting you may have missed.


Any thoughts?



Oh and Global Warming is a hoax!

Quick question, does parrying minimize damage you take, give you a higher percentage chance of absorbing a whole hit and does it do anything against spells?

Where do you guys look for tech jobs? With your nearly non-existent labor immigration policy and insistence on English communication in programming jobs combined with my somewhat horrible grasp on the Swedish language, I think I want to amuse the idea of applying for jobs out there. It can't hurt.

So far I've looked at http://www.monster.se/ and http://careers.stackoverflow.com.

I have noticed when you use stealth and you walk your amount of steps then want to use the skill again with out being shown it auto makes you appear. I think it would be real helpful if you can stealth and keep using the skill over and over so you can walk more then 15 steps at a time with 100 in that skills. This will give red players a chance to walk across towns unseen and lets ppl that steal or RP as a rouge travel more unseen.

  Buying/selling donation items

This is just a reminder to everyone that buying and selling donation items is not allowed. This includes but is not limited to imagine nickels and dye tubs. Anyone caught doing this will have their items deleted without compensation and if repeated be jailed/banned.

We are doing this to prevent players from being able to donate to get gold in game.

After next restart a new currency will be added called "Donation nickels" which you will get instead of "Imagine nickels" when you donate. You will be able to buy the same items but from different stones. This also means that you can sell/trade items bought by Imagine Nickels but not items bought by Donation Nickels.

  thoughts on developing an RP community and the need for an Order RP guild

I noticed that there are several RP chaos guilds as well as a lot of red PK types that like to hang around Britain bridge, but i haven't noticed any RP guilds that are order. I also haven't noticed a lot of RP, but I am new to the server, and have mostly been hunting graveyards and banking in Britain.

This server is getting more popular and the opportunity is here to create an RP environment with an RP narrative that gives players who are oriented towards RP to join in. From what I've observed and from just looking at the status page and names of characters I would say the server is about evenly split between players that are oriented towards RP and those that are what are commonly referred to as "doodz." I use this term not to disparage anyone who may fall under this category but to show the dichotomy that exists on the server.

Well what is RP you ask? RP differs for every individual. Some enjoy creating story-lines and background to their character while some prefer to give their character a personality and stay within that character. There are some basics though which are essential to RP. To RP you have to accept the fictional setting of your environment. UO is the setting and your character has a role to play in it. In other words your character is not an extension of your real life identity, he or she is a living breathing character with a personality in a fictional setting.

This is the view of the Rper. This is not the view of the doodz, who do not consider UO to be an environment that is restrictive to UO. What I mean by this is they don't consider the toon they are controlling to be a character. Instead it's just an extension of their real life identity. This is a major difference in game styles and they can have a major affect on each other. If you are in an environment where 80% of individuals are acting one way it is only natural that you will slowly evolve (or devolve) into similar behavior patterns. If you play on a server with the intent to RP your character but find you are drastically outnumbered and that the dominant community acts a certain way that is contrary to how you intended to play your character, you are likely to mimic the behavior of the accepted community.

When a new player goes to Britain and all they ever see are doodz using acronyms and abbreviations like: lol, ur, np, ty, lmao, they may reject this in a conscious way, but subconsciously they may feel less comfortable to RP. I'm by no means suggesting doodz should not be aloud on the server. As an Rper it is very easy for me to inject dood behavior as well as PK types into an RP narrative; they are simply the gadgies, hoodlums, neds, villains, etc. And I think that quantity of player base is important and thus Taran should allow all comers. I am just saying that the RP oriented players on the server should do our best to foster an RP environment. It's not enough to just write an RP storyline and get your RP items. You have to do more.

Now let me get back to what I think Order needs to do to establish itself and do its part as it concerns RP. Like I said, as I see it now, it is the chaos guilds that are more RP oriented. Chaos is naturally fragmented because part of chaos is a rejection of authority, but also because the criminality element of chaos lends itself to being efficient in small groups. Order on the other hand is most effective with a good structure, with a hierarchy, and with rewards that do not always bring instant gratification. This is similar to real life where criminality brings instant gratification while honor is often delayed.

So my idea for a strong RP order guild is this. We create a guild based on honor, on delayed gratification, on developing relationships and story-lines, and on helping the innocent wherever it is they need help. We hunt PK's as well as put our efforts towards fighting red RP guilds. The latter we do respectfully and not wade into the gluttony of instant gratification to which they cannot help themselves. If they kill us in our sleep we will refrain because we are honorable and they are not.

We will be more than a guild. We will be a Kingdom. We will pull our gold together and create this Kingdom . It may be on an island or on the mainland, but wherever it it will be home to all of those who wish to fight for honor. We will be governed by a sovereign, preferably a Queen and we will be loyal to her and to each other.

I have been in such guilds before. I was the King and GM of a similar guild on my last server. For this kind of guild we will need 10 people in the beginning. We will set up the structure: the Queen, the Queens Council, the Captain of the Army, and the Army.

Well this is what i feel order needs. A strong presence and a strong guild. PM if you want to help put this together.

Hey guys,

Don't know if this is the topic to place my thread/post this but I used to play IN along time ago. Same with XUO and some of the ones after.

Cutting out all the fluff, is it really worth coming back? How's the pvp style, I cant seem to find any info on that in the threads. The events look somewhat similar. And can someone give me a general player base-as in ethnicity. Americans? Spanish? Russians?.

btw, where is the server hosted. curious because of lag issues.

Thanks.
