There are two ways I can think of getting a gump when you're dead;
1) Because you already have a gump up, the timer expires and in that 3 minutes you kept mining and another gump was issued so it appears when the first one disappears (when you died).
2) You already have a gump up and a staff issues another gump on you, which only appears after you answer the first one or once you die from the first one. I don't know if staff can check if you already have a gump up or if they can only issue one when you don't have one up...
To be honest I'm glad SOMETHING was done about that EUO macro. Most of the people using it didn't even spend 2 minutes to make it. Cannaris gave it all to you so be happy you could use it for as long as you could and be happy he shared because I know if some of you guys using it had of made it you would have only given it to your friends, not the whole shard!!!
That macro was too automatic; it mined, it smelted ingots for you, and it banked ingots for you. All you had to do was watch for gumps. If Maka were here he probably would have done something about it too because he would have seen there are 3 players doing most of the mining yet there's over 100k ingots for sale. That's not helping the economy by making items so abundant nobody even wants to buy it!! If Maka didn't do something to stop that macro he probably would have limited Minoc mine to only the low ores, or add a skill or age check so it's used as intended; for newbs, or he'd get rid of the guards and the bank there.
Smoke you complain that if you go somewhere else it won't bank for you and now you'll have to recall around and bank yourself... Back on XUO there were no banks outside any mines so what's the big issue now? You had it easy for 2 months and now can't go back to how you did it for the 5 years before that??
My Razor macros are nowhere close to this automatic and they work so nobody can say you can't mine. Just spend 10 minutes making your own macro with Razor or injection and you will be able to mine once again, in your nice safe little Minoc mine with a bank 10 tiles away!
Yes, UO is a 10 year old game but that doesn't mean you should be able to put in 0 effort and get all the benefits or that something should be given to you on a silver platter. Do you think in another 5-6 years Blizzard will give everyone who plays WOW a level 80 character with the best gear in the game? Hell no!
