You might have more luck if you tried posting in the role playing forum, or ask the mod to move it

Apocalypse

Yellow Dog

Yes. Been there for over two years now.
We must meet up some time.

Apocalypse

Yeh i loved this game but left it for everquest (big mistake) , i ordered Lord Blackthorns revenge over the net the other day so i should be getting back into it pretty shortly , i think i was nearly GM tactics , bout 95 swordsmanship and 90 mining , great game dunno why i quit it

Yellow Dog

Silly boy!
I got LBR as soon as it came out.
I tried to contact you by ICQ with the number in your profile.
Let me know when you are back & I will give you some help.
I have a GM Miner & Blacksmith as my main character.
Look forward to meeting you on-line.


kieran.

Slaanesh

Cool
Im back using ICQ now so u can find me on that now and again
LBR hasent arrived yet , dunno if its courrier or post its comin in , takin its time anyways

Apocalypse

Oops , thats me BTW yellow dog ^^^^^
uo.stratics.com is a good site , you probobly saw it already did you ?

Yellow Dog

I guessed that.

Great site.

That`s where I learned all I know. And I`m still learning.
BTW things have changed alot in the last while. How long are you off?

Apocalypse

I suspended my account around April 2000 i think so im gone a while , whats new ?? whats all this trammel and flucilla (how u spell it ?), and new karma system with the virtues , and a new land with blackthorn and cyborgs and stuff:(

Yellow Dog

Wow! You are gone two years?
I couldn`t begin to start telling you all the changes in this time. I`m sure you`ve read it all @ statics.
Hurry up and get back. I suppose you will be starting from scratch? Let me know when you are back & we can meet up. There are more changes planned for June (publish 16, I think).
What sort of character are you planning?
Warrior or Tradesman?

Apocalypse

Well when i re-activate my account i think it will still have my characters there (i hope) , ill keep using Apocalypse who was nearly GM in tactics, swordsmanship and mining , i have another char called Faethor Ferenczy who is a thief and i go round killing wandering healers and stuff with him (just for the crack) , so u got GM smithy yellow ?? take ages did it or did stratics give a few handy tips ???

Yellow Dog

Yes it did take bloody ages, but I found part of the enjoyment was getting there.
I also got a GM Tinker, Carpenter, Miner, Tailor with high Lumberjacking.
GM Scribe, Alchemist, Poisoner, Cartography with high cooking.
GM Fletcher/Bowcraft with high Lockpicking & Map Reading
And my Warrior is GM Anatomy, Parrying, Swords, Tactics With high Healing & Hiding
BTW my GM Smith also has GM Magery, Meditation and Eval. Int.

Apocalypse

Is LBR a add on or can ya play UO off it alone ??
Do u need the original ultima to play it ??
Dont tell me i have to go buy :
UO T2A
UO Renaissance
UO Third Dawn
UO LBR


What do i need to get up and runnin again ???

Yellow Dog

It is both stand alone & upgrade.
You are supplied with two Account Codes.
One for New Player Account & one for Current Player Upgrade.
If you were to start again you would get a free month.
Either way LBR will is all you need as far as I can see.
Are you still waiting for delivery?
I was lucky. I was in England when it was released & got it straight away.

Yellow Dog.

Apocalypse

No still dident come yet
Im waitin nearly 2 weeks now
But i think i ordered it from Canada or somtin , dunno if its courier or normal post , gettin pissed off waitin
Did you go to the new lands yet yellow ?

Yellow Dog

Yes.
I bought 3rd Dawn when it came out. But I rarely went there. I only went there in order to get items that were not available elsewhere. I don`t like the 3d. But with LBR you can go there in 2d. I still don`t go there very often.
I trust you know you have a choice between 2d/3d.

Apocalypse

No i dident know , i thought that if you buy the 3D expansion pack your stuck in 3D , but how is the 3d ****e yellow ?? surely it looks cool , your paper doll rotates and armour look better plus creatures etc.... , but id say a 3d lad walking round in a 2D enviroment would look pretty poxy alright, did you get the reward for being a veteran player ?? more than 2 years on or somthing you get a choice , do you have a house yellow ?? if so whats it like ?

Da Bounca

I played for ages on Europa.
Gave up for DAOC though.
My best character was a Bard, was in the 90's in music, entice, the put agression on skill(?) and calm them down(?) skill.
and had about 98 sword and decent healing ,tactics etc.
My hiding was pretty good as well.

Yellow Dog

Hello there Da Bounca.
It would be great to set up an Irish guild if we could get enough players.
Looks like you had developed a handy character.
Have you quit UO then?

Da Bounca

I have indeed

I don't get much time to play anything these days, and when i do, i usually go for a quick game of DAOC or CS.

Apocalypse

Postman drove in the gate this morning , rang the doorbell so some package had to be signed for , was it LBR ?? NO!
doh , it will come some day yellow , but ill be waitin a while , how long does it take for a Package to come from Canada to Ireland ?

Yellow Dog

No idea.

Why did you buy frm Canada?

Apocalypse

Dunno , i was searching through places i could order it from and some places dident even have Ireland on the mail order list , so i found one and got it from there , it turned out to be Canada , did you fight any of the creatures in the new lands yet ?

Yellow Dog

Some of them are appearing in the "normal places".
At present Minoc and Trinsic are being invaded by "Junkas".
Watch out for the Junka Lords!
You can now get seeds as loot & you can grow plants with them.
This only started last week so not much is known about what the results will be.

Pity you didn`t try Electronics Boutique or Game.

Apocalypse

Hehe , im was too damn lazy to get the bus up to Dublin , i got the model of the Junka Boss i think , hes sort of a samurai lookin guy with a staff , looks cool , yeah i read about them plants you can get more seeds out of a fully grown one of harvest it for resources and you have to keep the bugs and diseases off it

Yellow Dog

I meant mail order from the UK.

My first plants "bloomed" yesterday.
I am now Cross-Pollinating them. Hard work this gardening. I hope it doesn`t rain!
