Hi All,
2 questions right now;
1. I have been trying to log into uo.com forums all day (to respond to one of Mervyn's posts of course!), and I get this message - "An error occurred during authentication." This is not due to my details being incorrect.
2. Last night we did a Harry, and a Rikky at the same time in Destard dungeon. We won the PvP against DiE, we completed the Harry and Rikky, the Harry died about 10 minutes before the Rikky. There was no gold drop on the Harry? This is the first time I've seen this? How come? We killed the Harry in the Destard Ankh area.
And 3. A response to Mervyn regarding gold drops, as I cannot log into uo.com...
Mervyn said;
"Lol picking up the gold. I think you need to reassess your time management skills. Meaning, stop picking up the gold. It’s the equivalent of instead of buying reagents in a shop, going out into the forest and picking them up one by one."
My response to you Mervyn;
We are all different, I myself almost only play for the gold drops themselves.
None of the other drops on bosses have any meaning to me.
I will not touch any of this legendary armour stuff with all of these stupid brittle/antique/prized/cursed/50stone etc. etc. etc properties on it. I detest built in obsolescence. I would rather spend my time, picking up gold, and spending 500m to buy an original item that does not have these properties on it.
So while everyone else is checking loot, I am;
a. Picking up level 8 scrolls for inscription BOD's,
b. Picking up gold.
That is what I play for, nothing to do with time management, it's all there is in the game for me.
Are you aware, a champ spawn, can drop 250k gold? 4 of them, and you've got a mill. Often I don't even have to do them, I just run by spawns where other guilds have just left the gold on the floor.
A Harry can drop 1.2m gold, except for last night, you can imagine how upset I was. We got lots of 25 stat scrolls for our new guys, we got a 120 tactics for a tamer dude, we won all the pvp… yet my Harry gold drop didn't happen...
A roof gold drop can be 1.5m.
It all adds up over time, and quite frankly, it can be faster than waiting for that 50m drop to happen.
I don't believe in luck - as I don't seem to get any, I only believe in hard work and effort.
You should be glad I'm so focussed on this, the number one reason we have lost fights to Pro, is that I've stopped fighting to pick up gold... If I did not do this, it is possible we would never lose. It's a bit of a joke in our guild, just how bad I am in this respect.

- I can log into game, but not onto forums - obviously details are the same.
- When you choose to log into Ultima Online, or EA Account, it says EA Account temporarily suspended. Ultima Online Account still seems ok.
- I've got properly locked out once, presumably due to trying too many times - 46 minute lock-out, but when that was over, I still cannot get authenticated.
- I've had no e-mail notification from UO re any potential suspension - and I know of no logical reason either.
