Not that anything will even happen, I decided to page on a blatant cheater. I choose "physical harassment" and then choose to target the player. I target the player and then nothing happens. I can't click help again or anything.

I did this while dead. Is there a bug with this or is this telling me that GMs aren't available?

Actually it is telling you to grow up and quit being such a tattletale.

Harassment for cheating ? lol

Isn't it verbal harassement that is used for cheaters?

There should be a section for that.

Just looking for a game where people follow the rules AND they're enforced. Feel free to go speedhack. I'm guessing you're one of the ones who can't compete legitimately.

It's policy not to tell the person who pages, or anybody else, what action is taken.

I can sympathize with you but the result is usually the same for everyone. Years ago, on Fel, the guild next door used to attack us through walls, speed hack, and attack us while we were invis and our complaints came to nothing. Eventually, they were all banned but not because of anything we reported but because they dyed stuff an illegal color; go figure.

Another time we reported a char with insta kill fireballs whom we followed and attacked on quite a few occasions, to no avail. To their credit UO did have one staff member (Big Tiny) who showed an interest to catch this guy. However, as you might guess he never showed when UO staff were with us and he eventually disappeared.

We did win an occasional encounter though, like filling up their house with dire wolves (when they really were dire wolves and not just the big dogs they are now) so that when they logged on they lasted around three seconds. No doubt harrassment on our part but it was fun to watch.

Those were the days before Tram, and every weekend was a battle against the local reds or thieves guilds. We weren't particularly powerful but some of the battles were exhilarating and lasted ages, and we did manage to kill a red or two.

Usually, those who use hacks are neither very good nor very bright, and when they are dead don't move so fast.

By the time a GM gets a message such chars are usually long gone, best to team up with a friend(s) and plan ways to sort this char out.

So do you know if it's the Process that's failing (not sending anything at all)
Or is it that they're not showing up. If it's sent you should get annoying queue numbers every several minutes (the numbers lie, btw.)

the numbers don't lie. no one is on the other end to check off any other numbers in the queue. that's why you're stuck at number 12 for 6 hours.
