Thief

Rev Hellfire

Anyone else got Thief yet? Must say I'm well impressed with it, I go so far as to say it beats half-life hands down for single player gameplay ( no multiplayer, duh ). Go out and buy it.

btw. any ulitma online players in dublin ? I got a second copy of Second age if yea want it. Not to sure if you can just update your account, though ?

Hobbes

The legalities of UO is a bit werid. Technically your only supposed to have one person on at any one time, but the developers have told people how to get it so you can play two people at the same time.

I think you can have people piggy backing on your account at the same time, except not on the same Shard. I could be wrong though.

Either way your still going to need an account login and password.

Rev Hellfire

yep, I know. This is a bit different. I ordered the second age, and got two copies. So its possible someone might be able to use the second copy. But they will need the orginal game though.

Venom

As far as I know you cant buy Ultima online over here anymore.Which is a pity as Im dying to get my hands on a copy of the game.
So if anyone out there has a copy for sale plz let me know.and i mean original copy btw:)

Hobbes

Hey Rev, did you get the upgrade or the full second age? because you don't need the first game to install it. Check both CD's and see if they have different account numbers on them. If they do then someone can use the other account number.

Rev Hellfire

Well I'm not back in Ireland until the end of next week, so I do that then, and if there different I'll let yeas know.

Btw venom, I can get you a copy of ultima here.

Hobbes

Oh yea Rev, let me know when your on. I go on for an hour every morning and make about 1000-2000gp for that time (have my boat soon:)... Pacific Shard, Bank of Britan.

Rev Hellfire

I'll not have access to ultima until sunday week, and from then on should be on a good bit. What time you play on the shard? I'll setup a avatar on it when I get back.

ButcherOfNog

lemmie think, it was you that was taking the p!ss out of the magic card guys at qp rev? wasn't it? avatars? shards? ooooo i've a series 3 avatar, that beats your's by 2 hit points!

shank

Yep exactly what I was thinkin Buthcher, maybe these lads thought they were posting to the magic board <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/wink.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=";)">. But seriously, does anyone know where I can get the Hebrew version of Ultima online (only relevant for those at QP).

Answer me these questions 3 sir(only relevant to Simpsons fans)

Venom

Rev i would be very grateful if you would pick me up a copy while your in the States and will fix up with you when you get back.And go for a few drinks as well<IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

Rev Hellfire

ok, will do.

Hobbes

Rev, The time varies. If I'm up early in the morning (5,6am) then I'm normally on for an hour. Then an hour or two in some evenings. Then the weekend as well.

Let me know what character your getting and I'll see if I can lift you something before you get there <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> Also I'm trying hard to get this boat, so if I have when you get there you should then have a base of operations.

Hobbes

Venom? When's Rev going to the states? when's he back? I should be back over for a week in mid to late Jan... although dunno if you can wait that long.

Rev Hellfire

I'm in the states right now, in Austin.
I'm coming back to Ireland on the 18 dec.

Rev Hellfire

This is very freaky, you seem to be implying that insane/irelivant posts are something new from WhiteWashMan. Whitey don't stand for this, you've been a source of insanity for quiet some time now.

Venom

TinCool

Somewhere in mid town anywhere's not too fussy, nearer the nitelink the better

Rev Hellfire

Venom, I'm getting a copy of the second age tonight for you. If your going to the drinks on tuesday I can give the game to you then. You'll need a credit card to play it, you can also buy games time stamps as well, but I dont know if there sold in dublin.

Venom

Thank's rev u the man.Will I need a copy of Ultima Online to play the second age,if so can u get me a copy of that as well plz.

Rev Hellfire

Nope, the full release of the second age includes the maps of the orginal ultima and the second age.

You only need that if you're upgrading. btw ppl, the spare copy is still going, then again it only costs about a tenner to upgrade.

Consider your table making, knitting days started <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/wink.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=";)">
Try http://uoss.stratics.com/ as a starting point.

Hobbes

Will you knit me a sweater? <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)">

I've got about 6K (half way to the boat). I would of had it sooner but I keep spending it on things.

T2A - Not a newbie spot at all. My character is about above average now, and it still get b i t c h slapped when I go into those lands. The place is roaming with Orc and ogre armies. I even offered to work as a scout for two newbies... They ended up dead after about 20 minutes (I used my hiding skills <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> Well at least I got thier gear as payment.

Saw what looked like the lootless army as well (Band of 30 or more people who go killing people who **** others off). I was at a crossroads and there was this guy walking about, I sneaked a look in his pack while I was chatting to him, I was just about to lift something when another guy comes over and trys to whack him one. Next thing he shouts "Now!" and 15 guys come out of hiding and rip the other guy to shreads! <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> scary thing to watch.

Rev Hellfire

It might be an idea for venom and myself to create a character on the pacific shard, or for you to create one on Chesapeake(which is where I hang out) if the lag is bad for us.
We could just run a training macro for a few hours to get our skills up.

Rev Hellfire

Hey Hobbes you ever down Texas/Austin way?
I'm going to be here for a few more months after christmas ?

Hobbes

I had planned to be over Christmas... However other plans have stopped me from going. I will be there, but not until proberly until March at the earliest.

LoLth

Just thought I'd get this thread back on track....

Yep! Just bought thief on Saturday and I've been playing it all weekend. What a ***** hard game!! It's like the Anti-Quake, no gibbing, it takes a bit of getting used to (sneaking up behind and coshing someone, and actually being supposed to 'camp'!!) Graphics are great! Mind you, I don't have an accelerator card (c'mon Santa!) so it's running a bit slow sometimes. And that's on a P266 32mb ram!! 284mb install is a bit harsh though, and it still needs to access the CD! (hehe, my old 'puter only had a 200Mb HD).

A question..

Can you blackjack undead? Haven't tried it yet and not sure I want to after going sword to claw with one (in the mines)! Barely got away then came back a peppered it with arrows (that took a while!). Then I found the chapel... bloody Typical!

Anyway, I'm onto the BoneHoard, looks good so far.. BTW: what is the procedure for backstabbing? Instant kill? Work better on undead than just hacking away?

Great game! Highly recommended!

Rev Hellfire

Yep, backstabbing pretty much will give you a instant kill, depends on how accurate you are. Never tried blackjacking the undead.

Makes a change doesn't it having a character that can barely lift the sword much less it with it.
