Hi there I just got over to this server while searching for an classic renaissance Server. But before i waste to much time i have some questions. I played original UO back in 2000/2001 , several freeshards and later original again with Age of Shadows released. These old days i had tons of time ( no children , job with less working time ), and i remember it was a time consuming game . So maybe someone can help me out with some questions: 1. Are the statgains (Int,Str,Dex) rates the same as on the original servers? I remember it was a pain to raise them, before you didnt raised them it wasnt possible to have atleast a little fun as a starter. 2. How about Playerkilling, i like it if its included. But what i DONT like are the times when UO was freshly released , behind any tree there was a PK just waiting for a miner to grab the stuff. Is there any restriction (stat,skill loss when dieing as a murderer/PK)? How much is PK influencing the gameflow on this server? 3. Is the mainbase of this server from europe or its an international server? 4. macroing is allowed if i got it right (only Razor), but only if your at the computer, its not possible to raise the stats str,dex,int while watching a movie or something like that? 5. Am i able to be competitive on this server with "only" 10-15hours gaming time a week? I mean be able to join events,pvp stuffand so on.
1). You can gain stats fairly easily by working camping or herding for STR and INT and Snooping for Dex. It works better if you can buy skills up to the cap and turn all skills up so that you don't actually gain...but, they work reasonably well if you just work them without buying up. 2). There are some PKs, but not an overwhelming amount 3) lots of US, but plenty of Europe players too 4). You may AFK macro any skill which doesn't produce resources (so, no lumber jacking or mining). Any resource type action (picking cotton, etc) is subject to the auto-AFK checks and jail if failed. Skills are fine to AFK 5). Definitely Welcome
Thanks! Ill give it a try , if there are mines which are not camped most of the time by PKs , it should be still possible to earn some money with mining . Dont want to waste many hours and then realising every mine is camped by PKs.
Cove has plenty of mining in guard zone too, and britain as well. Also there is a trick that if you find those little "grey" looking spots in the forest that look like rock, you can mine those too, and plenty of those in guard zone as well.
Hey there Dorean. Welcome to UOR. The Capt. answered your questions, but if you have more, or need clarification, just let us know. Also, we have am amazing community here. Lots of players willing to help out new people to the shard. Make sure to jump into IRC and talk with us in real time. Feel free to join the channel #PS, everyone in there is focused on helping new players get started here. There is a decent amount of custom stuff on this server, that fits right in, and a decent amount of player run events, so always something to do. But really, IRC is where its at. You can log into the UOR IRC channel via the main UOR page, on the left hand side there is a link. See you in game! ~Krake
Thanks! Yeah i have 3 more 1. Ive read a guide for Animal taming in the UOR forum, it says that i should train taming from 50 to 100 in my young phase. ( its only 7days, im sure it takes A LOT of time to get it even to 80+ ). So it is realy THAT MORE difficult to train it after the young phase? 2. Is this still the best tamer setup for the version UOR runs? Taming, Vet , Animal Lore , Magery , Eval int , Meditation , Wrestling . 3. The Homepage says mostly more then 500 Users are online , but if i got it right its allowed to have 3 accounts. Its also neccessary to stay only all the time to earn the platinum right? So the real active players are only a little bit less the 500 or are there only 200 or less realy active? Because if you earn silver for active online/ingame time it is atractive to just log in and stay afk for the whole day. Thanks
Hello, and welcome to UOR! 1. yes, taming is a strong skill here, and it takes quite some time to GM it. Once you can tame bulls you can GM it pretty much afk however (just takes some time). 2. There are various good tamer templates you could use here. The Provo Tamer is pretty much the most versatile for pvm. Pvp tamers will want resist instead of wrestling, since you will encounter a lot of Mages here (Taming, Vet, Lore, Magery, Eval, Med, Resist is the default here) There are other fun tamer templates, you can adapt it to pretty much all situations (ive had fishing on mine a while ago, nowadays i run a setup with inscription and resist for example) 3. You are allowed to logg with 3 accounts here. The average number of accounts logged per player should be 1.8/player if im not wrong. 500 is also the player number during EU times usually (there is less activity during these times). You will earn platin for online times, but dont expect high amounts and see it as a bonus you will recieve every month. (fits good if you have to macro toons, or if youre working on your murder counts)
1 - basically when you're young you don't have to worry about being attacked, so you don't need to take as many precautions as you do afterwards.
