Juggo won't have a normal staff position on the real shard, if he gets something it would be a "building" pos or something similar. This is not discussed with the other team and we do not know if we even need it so there is a big chance it wont happend. Juggo, and a few other guys, were chosen cause of their ability to test things and cause we didn't really think that they would just PvP all day. Tiff also told me that he was testing his old shard back in the day to and that he did a great job.

Now, dissregarding that, I'll share some of my PvP ideas or ideas of how a good PvPer is:p

First off, there is no specific tactic that is good against everyone, a good PvPer is flexible and addepts himself to the situation. You can't beat a offensive player the same way as you'd would a defensive one, a good PvPer players and uses the opponent.

This is part of a PvP guide I never finished, wrote it when I quit as a dev on my last shard. This guide might be both obsolete and bad, but I figured I'd post it since this is kind of how I PvP and I don't seem to die that often. Hopefully n0x's "Newbie PvP Guide" will be out soon to explain the basics.

I have recently been thinking about my UO days and the end of it. I think that I'm pretty much done with this game and was wondering what my last contribution could be. I've been training some people lately and it hit me, wouldn't the shard be a lot more fun if everyone was a lot better at PvP? Tourneys would be a lot more equal and you wouldn't see the same person winning tours every time, if something is hard and equal it creates excitement. So here is my last contribution, a advance version of my old PvP guide. These moves are mainly for people that understand PvP, if you do it on a "noob" they might not be better than a full fs dump.

In the advanced PvP guide we will go through some moves, how to read your opponent, how to trick him, test him and then finally beat him. I will start of by explaining a few moves.


Light-NOS:
You press the light scroll once and then you cast a nos scroll on them quickly afterwards, this move have to be hidden by a spam.

Looks like:
When you do this move it will look like you are casting a light scroll on your opponent cause of the sound and the HP you loose.

Use:
This should be used when your opponent has enough HP that he won't cast a GHeal but still can be damaged by a FS when his aid succeeds.


Light-XUO:
Cast a light scroll and right after its done cast a XUO. This does not have to be covered by a spam since the HP and sound makes it obvious to what you are doing.

Use:
This is a good move to make when someone is on 50-85 HP and uses an aid. You will start of by casting a light on your opponent when he uses the aid. A light scroll takes 1 second and aid takes 2.5. This means that there will be 1.5 secs left for his aid when your light is done, this is when you should cast the XUO scroll. If his aid succeeds you can easily tab your FS scroll and if it doesn't your fs will be there within 0.5 secs. If this move fails you have only lost about 29 HP and 7 mana, which isn't dangerous at high HP, and if it succeeds you will have a pretty good shot at killing your opponent.


Spell-XUO:
Cast a random spell that has the an animation where the hands move upwards and then fizzle it by casting a XUO scroll on your opponent, the XUO scroll has to come RIGHT after the first spell.

Looks like:
This will look like you tried casting a XUO scroll on your opponent but messed up or changed your mind. This move also has some of the utilities of a NOS scroll since it's “hidden”, It's like having an NOS scroll that takes 24 HP and 20 mana. Make sure you do not get hit while you are doing this but don't move away cause it might look like you are casting, try doing it when he can't hit you.

Use:
Spell-XUO is useful when ever your opponent is on or below 92 hp. It's also useful at every moment where you opponent chooses to aid instead of heal and you want to cast a cheap hidden FS.


Spell-Aid-NOS:
When doing this you have to make sure you are on 99 hp or below, if you do it at full HP use a scroll that drains life. You then take the aid and right after the aid you cast your NOS. Make sure that everything is covered with the same type of spams so that your opponent can't see any irregularities.

Looks Like:
You can either make it look like you are aiding after your first spell by using EBolt cause of the 10HP penalty, or you can make it look like you are trying to pre-cast by using Light scroll.

Use:
This is useful to use when your opponent is on low mana or when he can't drink a potion. This FS will be a stealthed FS and you will therefore be 2.1 secs ahead of your opponent. Casting a light and aiding might keep your opponent from aiding cause he is waiting on his hit.


Aid-NOS:
Pretty much same as above.
