This might be the last time i log in. Turned of PM´s already.
Took the weekend to drink, cry (yes even 40+ males can cry) & decide something.
EA did destroy a huge part much of my life(uo) now i will take care of the rest of it now.
Always loved UO, even the U alone. Started to play with UIII (Exodus) when it was fresh, and played them all.
Anyway was about to leave without further words ... But since there is a post that asked for lost items i started to think about it ... And finally came to the conclusion to give u all a list that may (or may not) be discussed in the public.
But before i start i have to mention three things
1) I always was (and still am) 100% against duping, scripting and stuff like that. Did report obvious scripters for a long time. Even offered ways to proof they were scripting in "multitudes" of GM-calls for physical harrassement!
So i say
BAN THE SCRIPTERS
BAN THE DUPERS
BAN THOSE WHO TRADED DUD-ITEMS
(but hell, tell the reasons if ppl ask for it; especially if the claim to be innocent)
2) Thanks to a lot to the many ppl that
* send messages asking how i FEEL
* offered me help (100M credit, free house, any help that´s needed to return / stay - Stuff like that is/was much appreciated!)
* kept in contact with banned scum like me (Thats irony! ... For those that dont know me)
3) A lot of disrespect for EA´s way to talk to 9 YEARS playing (& paying) customers!
So, öet me start with things that did NOT make me get banned; This refers to the fact that i was banned for "multitude of highly illegal items" and no other accusation was stated so far!
Followed by other items/Rares which i never owned (and mostly never even saw) in the whole 9 years of playing:
So now about the "multitude of highly illegal items".
Since i wont get any official word from EA on this (neither in private nor in public) i just make a list of items that you all may discuss now.
Let´s start with the things that may look strange to EA, but not to me
Thing i owned but i am quite sure that did not cause a ban
Oh, and the two most important things i did lost
So that´s it from my part.
Since i doubt EA will ever tell reasons for all this to anybody it´s all speculations, and reallife decision have been made. So i strongly doubt to be back!
@EA: it has been in YOUR HANDS!

- Scripting
- Duping
please take into note that i never switched shards with any of my chars. And as far as i read in all the ban-thread xsharding was part of the 'technique'. Of course this could be proffen by EA, but they wont... - Running an auctionsite
It was strictly limited to ingame deals; clearly stated no reallifecash was allowed! - Trading for cash
You have to trust me here, but i never did any trade for cash; neither buying nor selling - NO Valorite hammer, NO verite hammer
Never did held any of these on any of my chars, houses or bankboxes. Never 'touched' one! - NO agapite hammer on my acount when i was banned. Maybe had like 5 in my 9 years of playing (see below!)
Followed by other items/Rares which i never owned (and mostly never even saw) in the whole 9 years of playing:
- 2 storey Covetous statues
- Vinecord sandals
- singing balls
- named Shrouds with attributes
- special Sashes wit attributes
- Serverbirth items
- magic doors
- sigil-coloured items; didnt even buy them when they were declared legal!
- Just name any rare item that was >5M and i most likely didnt own it
So now about the "multitude of highly illegal items".
Since i wont get any official word from EA on this (neither in private nor in public) i just make a list of items that you all may discuss now.
Let´s start with the things that may look strange to EA, but not to me
- a Personal Bless Deed of IGM Talos
This was the rarest item that i ever owned, and its a truley loss for the Europa shard! - True white cloth & items made from it.
Could have been done with a quest-item (silk) long ago; cant remember details. This was declared legal by Wilki with words like "Have fun with it" and so i started to get some; sadly the reference to the old Forum is lost? Maybe somebody else remembers details? - about 60M in checks; give or take 10M.
I would not call this multitudes! Did get some when i sold a (south of) Luna house for 50M, or a set of Tokuno-dyes for 30M quite some time (month!) ago. Spent most of it on my Keep.
As a guess: These checks must be the reason for my ban, since it´s the only items i wasnt able to control when i was paid! - Ressources (regs, leather, ingots)
About(!) 10-60K each; no exact numbers here, because obviously i cant access my chars anymore. Yes i got GM Miner & GM Lumber, followed by a Yes i did buy ressources ingame from Vendors and on auctions. - Heritage tokens on almost every shard:
Yes i did own 6 chars on almost every shard, and because i crossharded some (note: withouth transferring a char; but trading with ppl on other shards) i got plenty on europe. Must have been around 70. Additionally, if i am right, getting two of these tokens per character was easy by just logging in with existing chars fot the 10th anniversary. - "multitudes" of fountains of life:
About 15 were located in my keep. All filled with clean bandages. Honestly, i saw houses with way more! - 125 stone statues in a chest:
On one of my chars, i held a chest with 3 * 125 stone-statues inside. That´s 1 chest with 755 stones which i held for years(!) now. Note it wasnt two-story-statues, but the craftable type. - Coloured bone armor (spined/blue, horned/red & green/barbed)
These were to be created long time ago, and afaik never were declared illegal! - green exceptional cloth: See coloured bone armor
- On the next item i am guessing, not even sure if i did own one. EA is the only party to clarify it: a movable ballot box. As far as i know these were declared legal to own. Please note: ONE, not multitudes! And still i am not sure if i kept that item when i cleaned the house of a friend years(!) ago.
- multitudes of bods, exactly 4326.
So yes thousands of bods; some were filled, some not. Got all in a database by importing UO-Assist-Vendor-text: Please take into note i did play nine years. Sometimes up to three accounts. One of those accounts was 5 * GM Tailor GM Smith; trained manually years ago just to pick up bods 3 times a day! - BOD-Rewards which mostly were earned by myself; last time i bought 10 bronze was July 17th on uo-auctions: 10 bronze for 375K. Got mails for all other buys as well.
- a chest full of gargoyles, prospectors & sturdies
- 1 golden runic
- several bronze & copper, but as i said i was addicted to bods!
- 2 * ASH[60] (ancient smithy hammers)
- about 10 ASH [15]
- many ASH[10]
- "a ship model"
Did get this from a friend years(!) ago, and i survived multituds of ban-waves with it. Should not be the reason. Afaik those never were declared illegal! - 2 * 25-Stat-scrolls 120 disco and 120 peace
Did receive these as payment for 2 halftrained Bakes. Obviously not sure on the source, but i could name the provider. Anyway these are still not multitudes. - coloured boards:
You were able to dye non-plain wood with tokuno dyes - coloured leather:
making ninja-belts, dying and cutting them did return coloured leather. Not named "spined", "horned" or "barbed" but coloured. - single artifacts bought from various sources (vendors & auctions). Let´s see what i remember:
- * 2 Voice of the fallen king
- * 1 blade of insanity
- * 1 ring of the vile
- * 1 bracelet of health
- * 1 ring of the elements
- full set of cursed arties from magincia (did collect all myself; no shady sources!)
Thing i owned but i am quite sure that did not cause a ban
- Collection of Tokuno Mayors and Minors
- Collection of Spring-point tickets:
Did own two of each (Except the 7.500) - ranger armor set
- red daemon bone armor
- full set of Mini house deeds
- full set of (rainbow)coloured valentine cards
- 10-30 books of truth
- Full set of practice weapons
Yes, incl battle-axe. One more is lost now! - Full set of coloured anvils (just one of each colour; not 1 each colour&direction)
- Bucket with water: was easy to get in Labyrinth years(!) ago.
- A keep
Oh, and the two most important things i did lost
- Trust in EA
This was not the way to handle it! You should talk to customers! And give details to the community! - My reputation
Those who new me did know there were no questions about my honesty
Btw: Guess why this post is not in UHall?
So that´s it from my part.
Since i doubt EA will ever tell reasons for all this to anybody it´s all speculations, and reallife decision have been made. So i strongly doubt to be back!
@EA: it has been in YOUR HANDS!
