18.01/UOAM, CL & new TC's


UOAM

We have now a Server for all TC's

This Radar Map Tool let you see where all other TCs are or follow a certain TC (tracking) while watching yourself on the normal map. Many complained about performance problems. ok. here some hints how to improve it so that you still fly: Zoom: 1x, Places:Show Labels & Players, Hide Shops MAP: Top Most,Tilt Map,_Hide Statics_ LINK: Send poition every 4 test til 10 sec, Query server every 5-10 sec Use UOAM from version 3.7 on. Older are slower, cause they use UO data while playing. newer version converts it for self use. Takes 20mb but is very fast.

UO uses average 3.5kb/sec, UOAM uses 1.5kb/sec if many players are connected. So your bandwhich have to allow up to 5kb/sec With ISDN thats not a problem. for 5.6 modems that may be a problem, though they have data compression, cause 5.6 is not always reached.

Besides that you may chose to improve also UO speed by not using 800x600 play area, using fullscreen (would not recommend cause so you cant use UOAM), using UOAM on a 2nd monitor while uo is fullscreen, turning footsteps&music;(eh) off, reducing colors,turning off translation server, the odd word filter : off, colorcycling, off and using the "f" client here

(you may notice that these uoam news are copied from 6.99 news.but as we have again a new server its full accurate :)


CL's
all TC's playing from germany have cl's like hell. yesterday over 20, today over 15.

new TC's
for Sticky FingaZ and Dyluck the "Test Week" has ended. Welcome to both.
ex Eisenugly showed much more team spirit than thought before, and surprised even sceptical persons.

T S
"Team Slovenia" broke the "peace" of a duel place while 1 TC was duelling there, while killing his horse usual shittalk etc. (no they didnt accepted war)
show them what we think of that.

15.01/Koth2k, Fights & duels


Koth2k

Today was the first Koth after long time

While Chaos seemed to managed relatively good to not only dye in tc purple but also group,
stick and gate together, not attacking while that event was progressing any other chaos group (besides wood corping a p*e in error, and imp a pkk), the Orders that were at the right time there were only CWO and Inc. (so far i saw)
they couldnt stand the chaos opposition after we began at 22:00 GMT / 23:00 GMT+1 to fight.
ICE gated in later but now as the other orders were already dead there was no chance. even with all order groups attaking at different sides together, the chaos opposition would have been too huge. Although many thanks to all having participated.


grouping


after having grouped at 2s (ex Goats'r Us house) duel place we gated to ebr tower where the maze runes were


waiting for 23:00


the Order opposition couldnt stand that oversized attack


yes indeed
Fights


After the Koth Fights with BOH in Hylth,
P*E in Decite and GeR+XXX+ some other guild in trinsic (magery worked) took place which were all pleasant and cool, as the other part was out with TG, so we didnt outnumbered them (in fact we fought all battles (with exception of the p*e battle in lesser numbers than the attacker. Geordie was great, although he had months of pause afte him. (he makes kind of a short uo tour before he moves from uk to australia).

Duels
Somewhere between the fights we made a short break for some duels.


"who wishes to to duel ?"


(including 3 from yesterdaY)
Philipp LaGuerre TC - Sir Lancelot P*E : while fighting order attacked trins so open end.
Tjodalv EBR - Tristan II EBR : 1

12-13.01/more duels & new dev problems


duels

while only inc and some jyl seemed somewhat active there were not many fights in the last days.
Some P*E still shittalk around to have us declaring war, but they still seem to have no clue checking their own guildstone. We have no war-declaration reply from their side technically.

btw: our no agression is only with the C-C stone of the wiesbaden cafe. you may have noticed 100 whiners running around yelling we have "ally" etc. kill them as long they are not on that stone. that was the first point discussed when we talked about)

new in DEV problems
while it seems that they will not step back introducing the removal of pre-cast which will have mostly townies and wmages benefit from it, there comes another great idea how to really make a dex monkey healing char as superior class in uo.
i mean i already have no problem to make in 5 days a char that kills in most 1vs1 duels nearly every mage. its a shame. the tactics ? sometimes a little tricky to survive mana dump, or to deal with ort rel, but if you have a little medi, and uoa undress/dress makros np. than just run after them and hit. yes you guess thats pure entertainment and tactics *yawns*.
also now every little idiot runs around thinking he is the pvp god just cause he can run after someone hitting him. but it comes better.
yet another new exciting and how runesabre would say "cool" idea to come:

In an effort to balance the Healing skill with other methods of healing damage (such as healing potions and the greater heal spell), dexterity will affect the delay for healing and the penalty for finger slips while healing.
  • The higher a character’s dexterity, the less time it will take to complete a heal.
  • The amount of healing a character loses due to a finger slip will be reduced with a higher dexterity.
These changes are true for healing both yourself and other players.


please use your standard CC: protest formulars to once more protest for osi. that may have more luck cause its not yet in testing.
i dont know.
they make votes and want feedback for every little crap like ballot boxes etc, but for really important things, they dont care.

the next UOHOC chat is January 20th, 7:00 PM CT and the topic will be PvP.
so get your mIRC client and join that chat with the developpers. (btw for IRC security problems read IT-SEC faq, or use it on a free linux shell on a computer in net.

11.01/Gaurons Goodbye & The End of the World


G's farewell

As you may have read already Gauron sold his 2 accounts.

So if you see in the future Gauron, Manga, Jirikis, Tamegirl, Gimli, Baummoerder it wont be the old sould leading them.
As it seems the new "soul" is more rpg oriented, so at least we will not have to fight our old friend.

I'll not begin to list all things that we liked on him etc, you all know :)
At least there is the hope and rumor that he may return in some time.
So keep guarding his belongings. ;)


In relation to that i thought to post one of the wonder that not many know in uo.. the end of the World:


That is how the end of the World looks like



from another viewpoint the End of the World Outpost



also called the star chamber


please recognize that place as a place of peace :)

09.01/Order/Chaos event Wrong


Fight Event Wrong


Today was a huge OrdeR/Chaos event at Wrong entrance. As i missed that fight, Dorijans/Costas report is used :)


Grouping

Hail and well met,

I´d like to thank you all for participating in the nice fight at wrong entrance it was surely something else than just running around searching for fights and trying to outnumber and kill the enemy ..

Altough it did start with some complications i.e Point Zero reskilled by Prozac (some odd idiot) and some other JyL jumped by 20 ppl (sorry tried to stop them but some seem to need 50 each and a gm made weapon and runes ... ) but then we met at wrong and almost everything went good except some guys from iNK guild running around in red robes healing up normal inc´s and attacking greys that were flagged by EVs ...

I hope you guys stay out next time and if you want to be a part of it just switch to order or join inc for the battle ...

The Battle was nice although it was very short for some in the first line (i.e Point who died in like 5 seconds)


sorting


but it was FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN and thats what we need :=)

I hope we can arrange more of these battles in the future
maybe on a weekly or monthly base ..

Enjoy :=)

more sorting

The End ;)


08.01/more fights, S*S & duels


S*S
S*S (Servants of Satan)
is the PK Guild of EBR !
On the stone are:
Gore-e
Dordran
SilenoZ GOD
Felon Watts
Dmodred
Nig'Nazug
they are our allies (EBR) so dont attack them...

and btw check ally list
We are very sorry about SilenoZ GOD.. it was in middle of our anger-hunting, and we were extremly hot on the trigger.

more fights


Today we had the dirtiest war in TC history.
While it began slowly after we checked all dungeons and killed what was to be found that a group of 5 BOH was sighted, we found them in Nujhlem and won that fight.
The fight became longer as some other BOH began to recall in in small groups while the other boh didnt restocked.
In that fight there were some problems with BOH runes that disappeared, as well as some clothes. All investigation in that matter didnt brought anything out, and shortly after you could read Dolores Posts in TC Board.
While we were back on Trinsic restocking 9 BOH counter attacked Trinsic where at this moment 4 TC were standing.
2 retreated while Balaar and Danath died. With some PKK that also came in (3 or 4) the 2 became reskilled many times, so we began to group with anger on another place.
The first idea (we were 7 and knew what was going on on trinsic) we began to think about what tactic could be used to get that huger opposition down. We tried first an old TG tactic but Dyluck was .. eh went unfortunately.. in our trap gate and got killed on the other side. So with 6 ppl we had to think about some new tacitc, while danath and dyluck still had problems restocking now.
We had some interesting trap plans, but at the end we decided to make usual tc tactic, recall and gate in and fight. ;)
The fight took some time, but at the end the opposition was broken, while losing 1 of 6 tc.
after that won battle we showed how angry we were and some BOH dead boh resigned of the guild.
after holding trinsic again, the others grouped again with us, so with 8 ppl we fast checked all possible regroup locations. in bd were some boh and pkk but they recalled.

TC searching BOH
shortly after we checked nujhlem again. while boh was waiting there for our new attack also 2 dragons were hidden waiting.
The fight took longer, but at the end dragons and boh were defeated.
Although the fights were cool, i cant remember having had a such dirty war before.
Balaar who had the most anger though had shortly after a discussion with Tanja and Gabrielle. They discussed all and how it became to such frustrating escalation, and at the end hands were shaked.
Woodstock sent her sister Nirax to hand out the runes that she had looted. While doing so, Gabrielle stated that she wishes to duell Woodstock.

Besides that we made following agreement: No Runelooting, No Clothelooting, no blue healers.
We will try to have a cool war again. please all respect that.
While TC was already duelling, Nirax gated all interested BOH to that duell place.
we made also another agreement, to respect duel places. So even after a hot war, if we all duel, and a BOH comes to our duel place, she will get friendly duels. Or we in Jhelom etc.

The duels began not that good when Gabrielle killed by a long makro that couldnt be stopped Woodstock without SS, but after the rematch and after the fun fighting that we all had got us closer again, we had once more fun together:)

07.01/some fighting


fighting


Today BOH was out with 11 ppl. As we were 5 we tried on trins and on nujhlem to fight back, but we had to retreat with losses.
After some time the big boh group divided or some logged, and so we could make a counter attack on nujhlem in more equal numbers.


the 3d counterattack on nujhlem that day
For us it was relatively funny and challenging, besides the beginning of shittalk at the end.
From what i heard that kind of shittalk was never heard from any enemy before.

04-6.01/Duels, Protest, some sad notes & more


Duels
The last 2 days were again full of duels besides fighting some bye, boh in decite and some guild visiting us permanently in trinsic.

Protest
CoB Vote

Crossroads of Brit (where also the dev board is located) makes a poll concerning removal of pre casting. atm the ppl that wants it removed is leading..


Sad Notes
As most know Vampire works on a new char-brother.
He turned red with vampire and died 3 times on statloss with vamp (after beeing drunk)
He takes it relatively relaxed, and seem to have a different play style for the char brother.

More
as EBR is back active they are back in Ally list :)
we test a no agression with C-C, the Wiesbaden Internet Cafe where Julio and Eisen are. Please report any problems to woodstock.

Sticky Fingaz (old eisenugly) and Dyluck were taken in TC test week both waiting since months.

03.01/PrecastProtest on Stratics, Duels,TG training & more


PrecastProtest
As announced Delekahn sent these news to Stratics.
hope they post that event soon. please inform all others of that event plans.

Are you against the removal of precasting ?

  • Do you think, that precasting is rather a feature than a bug ?
  • Do you fear, that gangbanging will even increase and that no experienced mage will be able to kill another experienced mage in a duell ?
  • Do you want rather more stat,skill and connection independent fighting strategies and combinations than less ?

If this is the case, then please join our protest and turn your order or chaos guild into a standard guild between x.1.2000 and y.1.2000. Convince your allies and enemies to do the same. Only together we can show our concerns to the development team.

Of course you can also write your suggestions in the UO development forum or to support@owo.com.

duels
again? oh yes.. even more duels.
as danath went back on stone (welcome back) after a short uo pause and wanted to introduce his friend Tinneth to TC we began the first duels today with them.

TG training
As Darija died today vs an avenger while beeing bugged we began to train her and mr.white on n&g; tower.
as training together is much more fun than all alone it was one more a funny experience which was only broken by the need to duel ;)





Training our TG's


more
i know that member list lacks some members. the member, war list and ally html will be updated soon , as ebr is back active.

Darija Grey wishes to notify that she never heard after she was dead that much shittalk in her life, neither fro pvp guilds not from crazy doods than from some EK ghosts there, that used worsest shittalk language ever heard.

Derat EBR wishes to notify that they lost the 3vs3 mostly due to Tjodalv not following the target they chosed.

02.01/Duels & more


Duels
More or less spontaneous a relative big but chaotic tournament took place in jhelom.

As some TC's that usually write the results down were still drunk we have no further information about the results :)


Ongoing duels

After some hours duelling, some ppl became anoyed by the not defined duel rules and began to interfer or send thiefs, so the duels were terminated.

We had some relatively short fights with ice in dec, some boh and jvl in skara. After nothing else could be found we continued intern duels, 2vs2 and 3vs3 on one TC place. The intern duels lasted the whole night until around 8 or so in the morning.
sorry that the results are missing.
