Wow.. this shard is so supportive! The people here are the reasons why I keep playing. @shad if there is anything I can do.. let me know!
Personally I wouldn't take any handouts. I would take the advices given. Especially on house security. Ive had two houses looted. Heavy losses also. Elhorno showed me about house security. I still do many stupid things such as gating in public places, but I don't care if my cy is comprised. Looting is a part of the game. Not everyone farms and therefore they find their incomes in other places. It's a game with many different variables. We all have pissed off moments. If you want a vendoring location I'll happily friend you to mine. It's a good group on here. Pks included. Chock this up as a learning experience
If I ever get house looted I'll just say that my son was playing my chars. Got it. Edit: Not saying that it wasn't true, I'd just man up / tell my son to man up on the issue, it's just pixels in the end. Of course feel free to call me an asshole.
If the server was stable for Canadians, nothing were happen today. FYI, Im a security freak: 1xautoban caracther 1xdetecting hidden caracther I was lucky, Julien alert me fast,so i was able to log into my auto-ban caracther and ban theses folks. Good loot guys, you are REALLY LUCKY! Eh!
Think what you want sir, but guess who was crying on hes bedroom when i came back to home. I passed 10 minutes to calm julien about that. I will find him a nee shard
it's just pixels works fine with most of us, but maybe not to a little boy who has a game he is having fun with playing along side his dad. most of us grew up playing this game and now that we are grown up ourselves and a lot of us have kids of our own , we understand how cool that concept is of them playing together . it's more than just pixels sometimes. so I'm not gonna call you an asshole, but have a heart.
Your son did a good thing. If not for him being there, who knows how much more you would've lost? And you might never have known who stole it!
Indeed. Julien have only 2 hours of gameplay per week. On the first hour of play, a pk kill one of hes dragon straight in front of my house and today he decide to do a tmap...my keep was looted. They dont want to play anymore.(wheeeeere is the funnnn?) Its maybe my fault... 10 years is maybe too young for UO.
Yeah, it can be tough out there. Ten is definitely young, but it's not an impossible age for the game. Kids can have a tremendous sense of adventure. My eight-year-old niece plays and has a decent mage and a pretty good thief. I prefer to play with her to keep an eye on who she's talking to and help her out if need be, but when you think about it, that's a bonding experience right there. Kids need positive role models in all facets of life, including dealing with people online. You should hear her squeal with laughter when we tag-team marks in Ocllo. Hopefully Julien will think about whether he wants to quit or not. Lilly likes to wander off exploring from time to time, and she's certainly been pked before. Like most of us, she found a healer and moved on. I guess it helps having a relative with a large bank account, lol. Good luck to you both!
A shame and all. I was 12 when I started UO and like 10 when I played Diablo which also had pking and griefing. I think those experiences made me better and stronger. I'm a good guy in uor think people should be good. I dislike pks and thieves but I accept their existence. Cest la vie eh. I'm assuming you guys are from Quebec, I'm in Toronto area and the connection is decent but Quebec is further. Again it's a real shame this happened but relying on banbots seems unrealistic to me, disconnects do happen. I say power through, uor is easily the best shard out there and you gotta take the good with the bad but the good is so much greater. So yeah it's pixels it's annoying but life goes on as does uor. Getting over things and keeping a stiff upper lip is what life is about at any age. In conclusion, UOR is best bro.
nope shad im a security freak meaning 2 rows of tables and the owner of the house is behind them with the keys to all doors except the front 1 in a secure she never comes out and not even my own toons on the same account have the ability to get in to the back. all trading between my accounts move threw a secure container
I played UO when I was 14 and I played alongside my mother and stepfather. My stepfather got me into the game so playing with him was a great bonding experience, as I was just getting to know him. One night I was running around ice island and I had the worst computer imaginable along with shit internet. Long story short I got PK'd by 2 reds and lost a full suit of verite platemail and a vanquishing viking sword (shit items but at that age and being so new to the game, i didn't have much else). This moment was the first lesson I had in don't bring anything you can't afford to lose out with you hunting etc. I saw the reds coming onto my screen and then... FROZEN. I couldn't move. I knew I was dead but I couldn't even run or get away and that's what was so frustrating about this moment. I started screaming and crying (lol) and my mom and stepfather came running upstairs and I told them what happened through my tears. Even though your son lost a lot more than what I did, I had a similar day as your son after this event - shitty. I still remember this years and years later and so will your son. These experiences mold you into who you inevitably evolve into as a human when you're playing a game this earth shaking at such a young age. Lets face it, this game isn't Pokemon Go. It has the highest highs and the lowest lows and these roller coaster rides can come at any time. Right now you and your son are going downward but he's looking up to you to bring him back upward and show him the best route to take because he WILL remember this. I would hate for him to know he had to give up and wasn't able to respond to this in a positive fashion, even if it's just the fact that he will always practice perfect house security in all his UO years to come, or maybe even a chance to get revenge in the future. Take it for what you will, just know this is all more impactful than it seems. It's not 'just' a computer game. I would've hated if that night in ice isle was the last time I played UO. I picked myself back up and I wouldn't want it any other way. Good luck Shad and Julien. Let me know if you need anything.
No disrespect but if anyone wants me to show them how to setup house security NO BAN BOTS are needed if you do it correctly... Unfortunate set of events I see happened Shad. I hope you stick around its UOR
Thanks for the golems, Shad (and Julien). Note the new additions to Friends of the Library Actually they are in the new Trammel Aquarium next door! I'll add a screen shot tomorrow.
Everybody that has played UO has had stuff looted from their houses before. It was going to happen sooner or later, looks like this time they didn't get too much stuff. Some people have lost everything. Shad and Julien don't worry about it, good learning lesson. The server enjoys having you both around.
well i've played since i was 9, and getting killed or looted never discouraged me from playing. I love that aspect of the game.
