Hi, I'm smelting a bunch of bags of junk treasure loot, and once my pack gets full of ingots, the ingots start to go to my feet. However, they don't successively stack, so you just have hundreds of piles of 7-10 ingots on the same x,y,z location. It's not the end of the world, but scavenger is having trouble with 1k+ stacks

Thanks.

I'd love to have the ability to lock interior doors on a public structure. I can see why one might not want to do this. I think that might be for the sake of simplicity but beyond the front doors I see no harm in allowing players to protect their additional assets of their public/vendor home(s).

While this post specifically has to do with some of my own concerns I urge a fix on this. The pro's outweigh the cons

Would be cool if there was a way to look at the damage list from town invasions on the website or motd or some other way.

The purpose of this passion project is to give new players a chance to get established. It’s a tough game to get started on, and you usually don’t have any room for error. The overriding goal is to ease that transition into the game to turn short term players into long term contributors. With that in mind I’ve set up “Nottalotta Acres”. Currently there are four rental properties, but expansion is possible depending on interest/funds as there is plenty of space. Contact me in game or on the forums and I’ll get you set up.

 
The location for this build is just North of the Northernmost Yew Sheep pen. The reason for the location is the ease of access to early starting cash (sheering sheep in the pen and turning it into cloth, Lots of tree’s nearby for lumberjacking/bow making as well). It’s very close to the town boundary, so you should be pretty safe from PK’s. If you see one just run west or South a few steps and call for the guards. The best shopping district on the shard is a few screens North around the Yew Bank. The moon gates allow you to get in between towns fairly easily. It is two screens North and one screen East. This specific location does not have good access to town shops/ training NPC’s but the moongate should help you move around between cities until you get some magery.
 
The main value of having a house early are:
1.       You can macro safely so you can get your characters running a bit faster.
2.       It allows for the storage and transfer of goods between accounts/characters. You’ll probably transfer and store a lot at the beginning as your characters are constantly working/supporting each other.
3.       Since you will likely be living within close proximity of other new players, hopefully some early friendships and hunting buddies can form.
4.       House add-ons – being able to make cloth in your house or smelt ore can be very convenient. If you need a specific add-on just let me know what you need and I’ll set the house up as needed.
 
The rules are pretty simple:
1.       Keep the house refreshed.
2.       You need to have a forum account. You need to send me a PM so I have your forum name on file.
3.       If the house goes greatly worn twice, you will be contacted via forum account. If you don’t respond in 7 days, you will be removed from the house, and your goods will be given away to other needy players.
4.       Those 3 rules are there strictly to protect my investment. I’m not a rich man. I can’t afford to lose a house deed every time a player quits playing. Keeping the house refreshed shouldn’t be a problem for those who play once a week or more. 
5.       You will be co-owned on the structure, but will never be able to fully own it. I want to keep the units together. No worries though. There is lots of open land nearby. If you like the area a lot you can simply build your own house when you have the funds.
6.       The free rental is for a period of three months. It’s meant to help you get on your feet, not to be permanent housing.  When the three month mark hits, I’ll contact you via forum and we will work together on a move date and logistics. You might want an extra month, and that’s cool. Just keep in touch.
7.       You are responsible for all the goods in the house. If you leave the door unlocked, it’s not my fault. If you friended someone and they cleaned you out, it isn’t my fault. Just be smart about locking doors and don’t friend people and there shouldn’t be any property loss.
8.       You can’t have a red (murderer) staying in the house. It’s intended to be a fairly risk free place to live. I can’t have one of the tenants hunting new players staying in the other houses.
 
Honestly, just keep the house refreshed and stay in contact via forums and everything should run pretty smoothly. I’m pretty easy to get along with, and I’m always trying to help. As long as I know you are still around, I’m pretty flexible on most things.
 
For all the PK’s out there, please don’t make this a target. The more people play the shard, the more targets you will have. The longer they play the shard, the better loot they will carry and the more times you get to kill them. Let them get established a bit to grow the shard. The more targets the better and this project’s goal is to provide more targets, heh heh.  It’s in everyone’s best interest from the shopkeeper to the PK to ease players into this harsh game.
 
Here is a link to a quick start guide that might help you get rolling in the first few hours of playing:

Here’s a link to a guide I wrote on making money with tailoring since the sheep are literally just outside your door:

For lumberjacking, all the trees are mostly oriented in a north/south direction. You can run N/S for miles and not hit anything in certain spots. I wrote a macro that always lumbers the east side of a tree (using target relative location), and processes the wood into boards when you hit a weight of 380 stones. Basically you just line up and run south/North and hit each tree without having to click a button until you need to unload. The only trick is you need the hatchet in hand and you need it targeted for the first double click (and also the double click in the weight section). Basically you are telling the game what specific hatchet is to be used for both actions. Here’s the lumberjacking macro if you choose the lumberjack/bowyer route:

The main drawback to having me run this show is I’m not always easy to reach. You can find me as Varak on the forums and discord. I typically play 5:30-6:30 PM CDT during the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays I are my “dedicated” days and I am often on until 9 pm or later. Weekends are a crapshoot. I’ll log on for 10 minutes at a time multiple times a day. So as long as you send me a PM in discord, I can get what you need in about an hour or so.
 
The vets can send me people my way if you run across someone needing help. If I’m not on and a vet wants to help out, feel free to drop a house and send me the person’s forum name. I’ll do all the management for you and let you know if/when the house needs pulled up or a new tenant.  If other vets want to help out in this endeavor, there are lots of ways to get involved:

1.       Each house could use a runebook to all the towns
2.       Ditto for dungeons, outdoor spawn, etc
3.       You can provide a couple house add-on deeds
4.       You can set up some gift bags (money, recall/mark scrolls, spell books, armor, weapons, regs, etc)
5.       You can set down houses of your own once the main units are rented.
6.       We can collaborate on the management duties, but I would need to really trust youJ
7.       We could have someone else run a second location (the green strip west of brit graveyard, etc)
 
The rental units are placed, but the doors won’t officially start until 2/19. The wife is in Arizona this week, so I don’t have any free time until she gets back, heh heh. The delay also gives other vets a chance to get involved if they wish prior to the grand opening of Notta Lotta Acres.

I do not recall getting a message when another stealther was near me..

also this is probably a bug but I got the message this guy was stealthing near me when I know he was dead.. I shouldn't get a notification about a ghost "stealthing" near me.

Something should spawn in level 3 of Wrong. Like a couple of Cyclopses. This is pretty much a newbie dungeon, i love killing cyclopses as a newb.

Hi guys,

I'm Jamirus and I've been a fan of Ultima Online since my teenage years. I've never really played on the original servers, but I did play a few different shards here and there. Unfortunately, I have not played UO in quite a long time.

I've been looking around and found UOLL and I must say, the site is very impressive. Love the statistics posted!

Currently I don't have a working PC at home, but I'm hoping to change that soon so I can get on and play.

I do have a few questions, though.

I used to love crafting, so I have some questions on those.

1. How useful are the crafts? Can you make shard unique items? What are some of the higher demand items?

2. Follow-up. Are skills like Cooking, Inscription, Fletching and Tailoring useful to GM? Anything in particular you can make with these that are interesting / unique or sought after?

3. How about the resource gathering professions? I'm sure you can collect maps with Fishing, but what about Mining and Lumberjack? Are there any unique ores or wood you can get from them? Is there any benefits to getting either of these up to GM?

4. How's the PK scene? As a crafter, I would constantly worry about recalling into a murderer, or having someone camp my house. I've chatted a little so far and everyone I've talked with seems very nice.

5. Do most people utilize all three accounts, or do people usually stick to their mains? I like seeing familiar faces, but the idea of 1 person having up to 15 characters seems a little overwhelming. Also, I don't know if I would enjoy taking advantage of creating multiple characters on multiple accounts. Would I be at a disadvantage if I didn't create a dexxer, bard and crafter right off the bat and simultaneously play them?

6. Is there a newbie dungeon or any other unique areas?

7. Is there a place where I can see prices of items? That way I can calculate what's good to sell and what isn't.

8. Are there any universaly regarded useless skills?

Forgive me for any spelling errors and thank you for taking the time to read and answer any of my questions. Looking forward to playing some Ultima Online again!

The first minute or so is the end of my round (derpin it), and then (expecting to be the new champion) I'm resurrected only to watch, in horror, as Hyperborean adds an extra 20 seconds onto the record Only the first minute or two matter, after that it's just talking, I just didn't edit it before uploading. Enjoy!

Starting bid 50k. And go!

(Auction ends sunday morning 7 CT)

I got a vendor at the Britain Moongate. Check it out. Weapons and shit.



Thanks
