What's your favorite old school UO memory?

This dates back to about '99 when I was young, dumb and strapped for cash. Another player taught me about taking evil mage cloth and turning it into half aprons. We then sold these as "nightmare cloth" aprons for 5k a piece. I will never forget a mark telling me his guild mate had to come verify its authenticity. He inspected, thought it was legit, and the sale proceeded as planned. I think I bought a small house from the profits of that scam.

Too many to count! One of my fav memories is when somebody released a dragon in despise (the noob dungeon back then) and watching dead noobs literally pouring out of the dungeon looking for a rez lol

So many:

-PvPing around the minoc mines with just a katana and bandages to try and protect the miners from the PKs

-PvPing around Bucs Den / Chaos Shrine (and being a disarm thief!)

-That feeling you got after 8x8ing all night and hitting GM

to name a few.

Another one, seeing UO on the local news. The story was about the new concept of people paying real world money for virtual real estate.

Nope. I was too busy Ultima Onlining to watch the stupid news...

Not even sure where this is coming from, are you saying that you don't remember my memories? That's good cause otherwise it would be weird. Way to go on the Ultima Onlining, not sure you can use that as a verb but hey, it's a living language.

Ughhh... yeah I don't ever remember seeing UO on the news. Yeah lol

Man it's almost like there are different news channels all over the country or something.

Good to know that the new guy got jokes

Precasting, and the chessy vendor arena @ the chess board was pretty cool too.

Pretending to be a GM smith at the forge in Brit and taking peoples armor and weapons.

Exploiting the old faction mechanics that let you set up ore vendors. Setting them up in the bank, buying the super low iron ore, smelting it and flipping the ingots for massive profits.

Luring players into joining my guild, gating them to my small house under the pretense of clicking the stone, having a buddy block the door with a horse and his body and killing them, taking their stuff and dumping it all in the CUB barrel.

HAhaha, that's some sick shit right there. I'd be willing to bet that getting scammed as new player on UO kept me from getting scammed in real life. I don't have any hard evidence, but it definitely made me a less trusting person.

I like the cut of your jib

My favorite memory just happened when I secured The Drunken Stag™️

My memmories:
-Mining at minoc mines(the newbie city of my first shard Mystic)
-Placing my first house between minoc and vesper
-My first pvp toruney with a brand new TITANIUM Armor/katana i bought with all my money, even without any experience.. a total disaster
-Wake up and realize all my shit got stolen after a a guy gave me a version of uo+razor with keyloggers

Abyss

Abyss was the shit.

My favorite UO memory was the time I went on a friggen QUEST to find out what that little squggly line was that players kept killing me with. Id say "hi, wanna go kill stuff?" They would say "Corp Por" and throw that squiggly line at me.... I remember wanting to do that so bad. Once I finally found out it was a magery spell, I laughed, then cried, then gave up because being a mage was for babies. 100str or bust.

Second favorite was the first time my friends and I summoned a blade spirits for the first time. MURDERED US ALL
We repeated the adventure with energy vortex. We were SURE it was gonna be like a fire field spell and would just suck enemies in. WE WERE WRONG!

Hard to narrow it down. But the one I remember clearest is a 300k log cabin real estate scam. The arenaline kicked in that time. Spent almost three hours selling it up and coaxing this guy into a deal. Just before I thought he'd walk, he cut a check.

Yikes, that's pretty rough.
