Delightedly contemplating my 'late Christmas present' from the game, a 110 fishing scroll I set off to fish up some mibs.

Checked the location 3 times, couldn't think why I was just getting fish, I was absolutely in the right spot.

Then I realised the bag with the mibs in is in the ship's hold and not my back pack.

Doh!
:dunce:

Here are my best doh moments:

  • While training resisting spells, a player called Brad in ninjitsu animal form comes and starts to kill all the spellbinders which you're training on. You politely ask him not to disturb your training, then go and find another 5 spellbinders which the player kills them all again. After some time, you realize that this is not a player in ninjitsu unicorn animal form, this is actually a real, pre-tamed unicorn called Brad and it doesnt like creatures with low karma.

  • You finally have enough gold to buy a 120 magery scroll for your tamer, you find one for a fair price and buy the valuable powerscroll. With so much excitement, you immediately apply the powerscroll and during the flashing blue animation, you realize that this is your archer character that you've appied the powerscroll.

throughout my 12 year history of UO I only have one DOH moment, I will share it:


  • On a rainy day in october 2007 I was inside playing my favorite game Ultima Online, making sure there were no illegal activities around on my shard Europa. Venturing the fellucian facet I discovered several pks from same guild entering their HQ. Clearly this HQ was in an illegal area and had to be Eliminated. The hours that followed were filled with fierce battles and streams of blood became a normal sighting. 10s of people died over and over with no end in sight. later that night my mum yelled and said its bedtime so i had to go. Then i realized i had forgotten to loot whole day.

Eeeek. :( I feel your pain!

I have a terrible memory but the other day I was attempting to log in and it kept saying my password was wrong, I was doing a single keystroke at a time to double check it! I was ALMOST ready to contact EA when.. I had my caps lock on. :D
