Seeing how this is a Friday and we should all be yelling “TGIF!!!” I am going with a lighter question today. I know I look forward to reading what you post when I get home from work today. I hope all of you have wonderful stories to share with everyone else.
Today’s question is what is the funniest thing or things you have seen in game?
My funniest thing was when they introduced Trammel and allowed players over there to explore the new lands to help look for bugs before they opened it up for housing. I was on the road outside of Vesper when I saw a stone wall on the road. What got me was this wall meandered past me mooing. It’s not every day that you see a moving and mooing wall so I wanted to know more. Was this a new creature they had come up with just for Trammel? I mean in AD&D there was a monster that mimicked dungeon walls and surprise attacked you. Maybe this was like that? How tough would it be? If it killed me how could I face my guild knowing a wall kicked my rear end? I scrolled over and clicked on it to see what its title was, and it was titled as a cow. Well I was sure then this qualified as a bug so I paged a GM to report this. I think I wrote something like, “A Mooing wall just walked past me and is listed as a cow.”
I think that is the fastest I ever got a response from game support. It came back as something along the lines of, “You are reporting a moving wall?” I typed back “yes I am reporting a bug of a stone wall that is walking up the road showing the title of a cow.” Whoever was on the other end then sent me this, “You haven’t been drinking and are not kidding are you?” By this time I was following the Mooing wall just to see what would happen to it. So I answered to the fact I was not drinking nor was I kidding about it. That’s when they told me to stay near the wall so they could see what was going on. I was at that point pondering if I should kill the wall to see what kind of loot it would have on it? Bricks most likely, but I followed it like they requested me to instead.
I could almost picture people at the UO offices all gathered around a computer watching some poor player follow the wall down the road, laughing like crazy. It was not that long before the cow/wall disappeared though and I got a message thanking me for reporting it, and that they hoped I got a screenshot of it before they removed it. That’s when I was kicking myself for not thinking of that before it disappeared, but that was the funniest thing I saw in game. To this day I don’t know if it was a artwork glitch, or a very bored Dev messing with a player for laughs. I do know I will never forget that stone wall going past me on the road mooing away.
