i had a healer channeler, and unless i was in a zone where i KNEW i was safe, (like my city) i would stealth before i sat down, some dude tried to bs me when i was casting it, he wound up dead in a matter of seconds. good times, good times.

It was fairly difficult for a thief to get a BS off on my channy as he was Irekei and wore LA. I think in def stance, my def was 1250ish or so. I also gm'd the personal def buff.
Blade Weaver assasins were the shiznit =)
I just don't understand WHY no one has tried to redo, or recreate what UO first did. You see all these EQ clones and such, but all I WANT to see is a UO clone. The concept of knowing that you might walk out of town and instantly be attacked by a hidden archer in the trees along the path was the best. It was even better when you were naked, so they thought you were a noob, but then you bust out the GM Magery skills:eek:
Agreed. I had a lot of fun in UO in the old days...I had a gm thief with gm fencing and tactics. I'd use the town rules against people...I'd steal, allow them to attack me, then run away and hide. After 2 minutes, I'd come back and the mark would be grey to me, so I'd beat him down and take the rest of his stuff, all inside the town :)
Ah, the good ole days
I think SB did a pretty good job of recreating the UO like atmosphere, all they needed was more content and less player driven cityscapes and youd be all setQuote:

For a brief period the (uo) town guards were nerfed to be very slow. As a thief it was a blessing. For me it was the newb miners at minoc cove that passed the days. I even think the miners got alot out of it. After a few days of getting bothered by the local pickpocket , the ore miners would decide enough was enough and fight back. They would even make toons for the solo resone of standing watch in mines.
I also think that in some ways that super #$@$neet 3D grafics are a downfall to alot of the games we've been talking about. So much money gets droped on the perfect 3D blade of grass, and nothing goes in to game play.
