Odd Happenings on Chessy

[Eyes of Origin]

Ok so a guildie was training in New Haven.. hes comes into town and all of a sudden guards start whacking the npcs... no joke...

Below all you see are guards... almost no npc trainers.....

we cant figure out why.. calling guards does nothing...

so he says go to the warriors training area alone and let me know what happens... i go and nothing.... he comes in and everything gets guard whacked... I'm tellin ya, something strange is happening on chessy! lol

regardless of what it is, its the most fun we've had all night. sad huh? lol

we're still there if anyone wants to see lol

I have a theory as to what caused it, but would need a Dev or someone familiar with this stuff to confirm it.

Last night the char my guildie was on, started out as a red. While we were training his resist spells in Fel, he went blue.
He went outside Haven to train his resist, but when he came into Haven the NPCs would try to attack him and they would get guard whacked.

If I had a way to record video I would show you what I mean. We watch the Sir Helper in Haven literally attack him and get guard whacked, then watched a refugee in Ter Mur attack him, but it didnt get guard whacked. And those who got guard whacked were in Ter Mur and New Haven only.. it didnt work anywhere else.

So I think it had something to do with him going from red to blue and the NPC's in Haven and Ter Mur not seeing that change... dont know if thats possible, but thats the only thing we could come up with.
Now that server has gone done he's fixed, so to speak and none of the NPC's are in danger of guard whacking themselves.

Did you try to attack him on a non guilded character to see if you could? now that would be some fun (granted not for him) if you could attack him in Tram.

Damn, I made a character on Chesapeake but I'm obviously too late.

One of my funnest memories in UO was onetime all shards where off the list except TC, there was thousaaaaaaaaaaaaands of people at Sweet Dreams Inn, and back then you could still attack NPC's in Tram and get guardwhacked, *everyone* started getting themselves guardwhacked and there was just ghosts and bodies everywhere.

Good times.

*edit* I found a tiny bit of a screenshot from when it happened, but it obviously got more crazier than shown...
