Hi all, Old veteran here - Pacific/Drachenfels late 90's early 2000's - I couldn't resist installing UOR after hitting a stream online. It does seem to me however that the speed to gain skill it much lower then I remember in the old days? I've been macroing my hiding skills for a few hours now and my skill is only up to 28. Would you say skillgain is slower on this shard then it used to be? Always hated grinding so would be nice to know in order to maintain my expectation! Otherwise, great great initiative and keep up the awesome feeling of UO in the old days!
Skill gain rate is pretty moderate fast here IMO. There are a few skills which seem to take forever like Hiding, Item ID and Fishing. But, overall it is fine. You can basically 5-6x a character in a couple days once you get the basics down and have resources
Skill gain if anything is much easier here than old osi. Hiding is primarily success based. Training from sub 30 @ once every 1100 will take a lil bit. One day should see Gm if not in the high 90's. Raising skill is a major part of the experience. Sip it by playing in the same manner as the two streamers that inspired you to come here in the first place.
I think it was 2 years before I GMd resist on osi. Majority of pvpers for awhile had like 75-90 resist. Its a good balance you can have a pvm or pvp character built in a few days. If you haven't played since osi you may have w learning curve w razor but a lot of guides and helpful players here. I think having crafting/taming skills hard to gain would be good. Now that there is so many out there it would cause and up roar. Anyway welcome if you enjoy nostAlgia it's a good place to hang out no matter your playstyle.
