A bit depressed, lost two of our hard core guild members tonight due to RL work and WoW addiction.
Well not lost completely, but won't be at guild meetings every week, which makes lev 6 T maps very interesting with just two of us

Just because it's no longer cold outside, doesn't mean you folks can't stay inside and babble, y'know...

Just contemplating the novelty of being able to make chocolates in UO.

I should really investigate the prospects, but in truth, I can't really work up the enthusiasm.

I know, they're giving chefs some much-needed love...
But, the way to rejuvenate a crafting class that specialises in practically superfluous items, is not to give them more practically superfluous items...
 
G

Guest
chocolate = superfluous? I always thought it was a life essential


G´day babblers!
 
G

Guest

Guest
That would be coffee


In all seriousness, though.
Cooking is a skill that has limited practical purpose.
You can make 4 things that people are likely to want regularly:
Savage Kin Paint
Enchanted Apples
Grapes of Wrath
Fruit Bowls
I can't say I've ever noticed much enthusiasm for the last two, personally. I'm sure they have their niche, but it seems to be smaller than the first two.
It has limited purpose outside of RP, which is kind of out of place in a game that's steadily neglecting the worldly aspect in favour of more monsters/loot/pixels...

kayne, you can reassure yourself that, unlike some other guilds that will remain nameless, you don't go hassling people from other guilds to join you and that all the guildies of yours that i've met have been polite, friendly and a pleasure to be around. you know where i am if you need me

We have several days in a row with plenty of sun here!! Last Friday played footy for the first time in more than 6 months, and it was really warm even! But boy, did it come back to haunt us! Sore muscles, past 2 days we couldn't walk normal, today still aching but less bad. Tomorrow should be nearly over we guess, normally takes no more than 3 days in our experience.
Today is very sunny again.

Gaaah, we're so out of it, trying to sort our homes but just can't seem to get really in it like before.... Just don't SEE it.

BTW, are there still plans for silly pet hunts?

tabby, for aching muscles, put 6 drops lavender oil and 4 drops clary sage oil in about 2tbsp milk and mix into a nice hot bath. soak at your leisure. it really helps
(just avoid alcohol if using clary sage, the two do not mix at all well!)

Wish we had a bath.... Bath alone could work miracles we guess!! hehe But today is much better already, almost back to walking normal.

Well, I'm still trying to work-out how to hack the system, so I can train my Ethereal KiRin to multi-GM standards.


Once I have achieved this, I aim to raid Felucca / Yew, and throw the statuette at any nearby "reds".
Does that count as "silly"?


....If only Albino Squirrels were transferrable between characters: I'd be taking him to Atlantic, just to see the "WTF's" as he led the charge against the True Britannians.





Meanwhile, back on Planet Normal.... if there's any interest in another silly night of something like cow-tipping, count me in!

"Whahahaaaaa, I got away THIS time!! ... But... he got my beetle...
"

Totally Esbe meets his second Blackrock elly this week, and lives to tell about it. We have a question about those things though, do they get guardwhacked? Last time he yelled for the guards in vain (yes, he pays his taxes!) so today he ran off to bump into Aviva the Guard upon his return... And the BE was nowhere to be found?

Guest
yes they get guardwhacked.

When not towing a packie in addition to my beetle I sometimes employ a fighter to guard me.

Ahh mining, I remember the days when if you needed a certain ore you could just look at your rune books that took ages to put together recall over and dig some.
Honestly not done any mining since the changes and therefore very little smithing since, good to see the crafters are being looked after as always.
All credit to the likes of Barian who have kept going and got over it, if it was my main style of play I would have packed in by now.
Probably the worst mistake they ever made implimenting that one IMHO.

Had Delucia mapped out completely on 3 shards, regret that the most about the changes... Further the mining itself didn't change much for us, as we stripmined walls anyway... But seems less valorite and less agapite... hard to find lately.
(And lets not start abt the wood...)

Another question for our smart fellow Europeans: quite some time ago someone posted the method to save the journal, but we forgot to bookmark that page and now have no clue how to do it anymore, anyone could help us please?

thanks lots!! Wish we had that worship smile lady Nico used for draconi, hehe. works like a charm, although we put it on a slightly different line. Right above the ----------. (couldn't find the UserLanguageCodeString line)

Doesn´t matter much where you put it really. Just easier to find it again above the --------.
