This link will allow you access to a collection of stratics articles from the 1999/2000 era. They have been collected and stored here for preservation. http://www.uorenaissance.com/stratics/
Nice. There's also the Wayback Machine - https://web.archive.org/web/19990815000000*/http://uo.stratics.com
Yea thats where these came from, we archived them here because slowly things have gone missing from the stratics/wayback archive.
Heeeyy, Get all the "original" template essays. The original essays from stratics before they were updated by a bunch of trammel dorks in 200X had some good information. Particularly information on the "detective" and how forensics and some lesser known skills functioned. Someday these might provide valuable (albeit anecdotal) evidence, or at the very least, provide nostalgic value at the expense of a few kb of space.
Nice, I will try to track them down and get them archived. Trying to navigate the wayback machine can be a headache on a good day.
