I remember when...

Re: I remember when...

Trying to find a tamer to tame the nightmare that just spawned.
Stables that had a limited number of spots and having to recall all over the place to find one that could hold your horse.
Having to refresh your animals once a week or they would disappear.
People trying to match their clothes to a certain colored forest ostard.
Random people offering you several thousand gold because the ostard you are riding is the color they want.
Hanging out at the Delucia forge making/repairing armor and wepaons for people fighting at the Orc Fort in T2A constantly dying to pks.
Jamming a coin into the keyboard to macro spirit speak all night because I needed to raise my character's int.
Teleporting up on a ledge and casting posion over and over again on a monster to kill it.
Forgetting to feed your horse and it bucks you off while riding it.

Re: I remember when...

I remember my first day playing UO, my friend and I camped out in the woods outside Brit. We thought we were total badasses, til a red came and rocked us with para field.
I remember killing a pack llama I had snooped, just because it had a non-excep short spear in it. I got whacked shortly after killing it.
I remember trying to steal a mil check at WBB, only to have the person kill me within seconds.
I remember thinking that Spellweaving is the skill that made magic wands.
I remember thinking that a good build was fencing, tactics, swordsmanship, mace fighting, archery, and parrying.

That was all on Hybrid, too.

Re: I remember when...

I remember when certain PKs would trap chests in the Rat Camp south of Yew. I wasn't one of them but I would hide and loot the bodies of people who opened the chests.

I remember meeting a PK named Wakkus Tabbakus who helped make me a better mage and eventually a Red Mage.

Re: I remember when...

I remember the first time I got PK'd. His name was Captain Ganker and it was at Brit GY. I had a ton of stuff on me at the time cause I didn't know bankboxes existed.

I remember my first house. A wooden shack just outside Minoc. I spent days making it look like an authentic carpenter's workshop.

I remember not knowing UO lingo. "Goddamn PKers ganked me outside Glow, sync dumped all over me. Dexxers like me are so nerfed".... wtf???

Re: I remember when...

I remember living in the woods and putting all my stuff in a box under a tree then being extremely pissed when I logged on the next day and my stuff was gone.



Thinking about when I started UO makes me sad. :( :(
 
Re: I remember when...

Great read.

I remember coming back to UO and looking for Grevlok so I could start an Imbus RP guild.

Caz said "nub", being "no" in orcish. I never heard of the orcs, so I thought it was calling me a nub.

I ended up calling him a rude fag (oxymoron?), getting kicked, and other funz.
