With all the ghosts wandering around on a script, can we bring back the exorcism spell in necromancy to get rid of them? This ish is ridiculous.
Does the spell actually work? I haven't actually tried to use in in years but I thought the last time I did there was a ghost right by the alter and I tried to use the spell but the ghost didn't move. I'm not sure if there are any requirements to it aside from casting so maybe I did it wrong but coulda sworn the spell didn't work regardless.Spell only designed to work in champ spawns. They get around it by camping outside entrances

Maybe EJ accounts shouldn't be allowed in Champ Spawn areas period. It is funny however that its even worth it to monitor all this. Why not just do the spawn yourself? Is it really that difficult? I never understand the monitoring. Oh well.It only works inside champ spawn areas, but since they have the auto kick out once your body decays you don't have time to cast it on ghosts. They set all the ghosts outside these areas and run their scripts so it doesn't matter. What needs to be done is make all dungeon areas including all of T2A and couple screens around entrances considered champ areas. Then all this nonsense will be resolved without them having to ban EJ after EJ acct.
Why do the spawn yourself, when you can wait for some trammie to do it, kill them and take the scrolls? It's double the fun.It is funny however that its even worth it to monitor all this. Why not just do the spawn yourself? Is it really that difficult? I never understand the monitoring. Oh well.

Hey I'm not that old yet! Give me a few dozen years... but no we are mostly approaching retirement... many of us.Plus the fact that the average age of the Uo player base is now over 80 years
I'd say this is one of the important reasons. There is a number of other design decisions taken by the dev team over the years that would have surely killed any other game by now. UO is merely in a wheelchair, with an oxygen tank, and being pushed forward by a blind orderly with a limp.And there is exactly the reason this game is literally on life support from the golden era of 250k subscribers.
You forgot..the orderly is also VERY hard of hearing..I'd say this is one of the important reasons.

and exceedingly stubborn..You forgot..the orderly is also VERY hard of hearing..
The voices tell him where to go.You forgot..the orderly is also VERY hard of hearing..
And the voices also tell him to push the wheelchair with the UO on it into the pool? (Ahh I wish I had a pool..), and they also tell him to go round and round in circles?The voices tell him where to go.
Nice workI kill bot stealthers everyday.
Makes a girl wonder though, if so many of us are close to retirement... we may be able to spend more time in game and... dare I say it.... invite others (off course, who are retired and bored out of their minds with nothing to do) to help grow the in-game community that once was?Hey I'm not that old yet!

Sadly most folk who ask me what the heck I do with my time off think I'm insane when I say I play online games. They ask me what I play and I tell them... I play Ultima Online... they ask about it .. I tell them it's a fantasy game where I happen to be the Governor of a town... and I enjoy taming dragons and unicorns... living my in-game life nice and quiet... sometimes fishing... or hunting things. That's when they look at me all weird like I'm bonkers and go... what do you get for it? And I say a chance to escape my boring life and just be something else for a while... hang out with friends... talk... And they want to know what we talk about... and I say well the game... The President... whatever the subject is of the day... our last meal or what someone created in the Kitchen today... sometimes we talk about cats... dogs... whatever. I said it's like having all your friends over at your house sitting around playing cards and talking only we don't have cards we have keyboards and we don't really "see" one another we see each others created characters... but we do use Discord and hear each other for the most part but sometimes it's all typing and reading... Sure beats staring at a screen watching TV... not talking... And then they nod and go hum... and I go off to stab people... that's what I do for a living. I look forward to the day when I don't have to get up and go to work... someday I'll get there... but for now I work. Heck probably have to keep working part time just to pay for my gaming...Makes a girl wonder though, if so many of us are close to retirement... we may be able to spend more time in game and... dare I say it.... invite others (off course, who are retired and bored out of their minds with nothing to do) to help grow the in-game community that once was?
hmmm...
IMO the bots are an exploit... someone should put that jerk Mervyn on this on the official forums... he should work to get this exploit fixed like he fixed so many other things that we didn't want fixed... but this would fix something that might be something he doesn't want fixed.Mal, I've run with a spsp toon for years. Only in the past few months has it gotten so bad that they are parked everywhere.
Devs.......do something.
Well he "fixed" pets being awesome on the roof and not spawning extra mobs... Now they do... so if he were to get on this bandwagon maybe he can actually fix a real serious exploit.Mal, dunno who that is or if you are being facetious or fuh-reelz, but if that dude can help fix this, I'm allllll for it.
This would be a fix majority of the player base would like and support. Mervin would never go for it.IMO the bots are an exploit... someone should put that jerk Mervyn on this on the official forums... he should work to get this exploit fixed like he fixed so many other things that we didn't want fixed... but this would fix something that might be something he doesn't want fixed.
Or at least only ask for improvements in Eodon and not where we actually playHave anyone learned anything from the last round of High Seas content? STOP ASKING FOR IMPROVEMENTS!
The request of "making the exorcism work" will surely make it so that in addition to necro/SS people will need tracking to track ghost and herding to send them to a shrine which will only be done after 3 attempts and you will need to complete a puzzle each attempt that will spawn a mob of undead for all unsuccessful attempts that will drop no loot. Just leave the spell broken please!
I don't agree with the notion that the devs are failures, but I do agree w/ this: lol make the shrines great againMake the shrines great again.
Bug ghost caming is something that needs to stop..Have anyone learned anything from the last round of High Seas content? STOP ASKING FOR IMPROVEMENTS!

I was being sarcastic... agree that it should be stopped. I think a simple fix of making the exorcism spell work as intended would be the logical fix. While in a dungeon setting anytime the spell is cast and there is a ghost on the screen they get sent to a random shrine. This would allow a necro to go clean house at any time. It would also allow pvp tactics to be used when group fighting at a champ spawn; if you kill someone (and have a necro to cast exorcism) you can essentially remove them from the battle field for a few minutes without having them grab their bodies right away.Bug ghost caming is something that needs to stop..
