The PvP was actually a big draw to me and that's what ultimately convinced me.  It's kinda like how GW2 did it's WvW except without overdoing the siege engine range, and without enemy players taking so long to load that they are on top of you before you even see them.

Same here. The influences from DAoC were apparent and that was a game that I consider one of the classics in MMOs. Though it does tend to wear on one eventually. I can't really see the point of guild ownership of keeps when they can change hands at the drop of a hat.

I'd advocate ESO to anybody who's interested in organized alliance objective-based PvP, but otherwise it is kinda lacking once you get over the initial "whee Elderscrolls" factor.

Really should have voted for you in that Minoc election, by the way Glowcat; the winning King only got a single vote. I'm assuming you can't vote for yourself here, otherwise the fault is entirely your own for forgetting to do so :P

I tend to screw up a lot, but I wasn't that absent minded. At least not that day. I figure they also block same IP since I voted on two characters. I knew Minoc was pretty forgettable (have the admins even listed it yet on their Kings/Bonuses list?) but a SINGLE vote is pretty hilarious. Sure, voting turnout is expected to be terrible, yet there's something I find amusing about the fact that he probably only won due to a single guy asking for the Tinkering bonus. Alas, those days were my busiest and I couldn't properly campaign at all.

If anyone apart from myself and Glowcat is still playing this,
you should join the guild, it makes ingame coordination a lot easier.

I've only logged on once or twice this past week, but I'll join if we can coordinate a time. Unfortunately it looks like my intended stealth build just isn't very good on this server and I'm not enthusiastic about grinding up a new character.


As mentioned, I'm definitely planning to run tomorrow at 5:00PM PST, though realistically I'll probably be on a lot of the day since my last final is tonight.

For anyone interested: We'll meet up at Minoc's bank - dwarfiest of towns - at the designated time and go romping through a nearby dungeon to give practical advice in-game and provide newbies with some starting gear if possible. We can use the opportunity to explain basic PvP mechanics and strategies, effective ways to build your character, how to come back to life, what to watch out for when looting, etc.

Blugh, sorry about the spam, but I've managed to throw down the money for a new guild. The 12th Bay (B12 tag) now exists for those who're interested in An Corp and looking for a home. I've also set up a small base right outside Covetous which is very newbie friendly, possessing an outdoor forge, a loom/wheel, and even a training dummy if you don't want to poke your head in the dungeon nearby. I plan to provide basic armor sets to new members as soon as I can but my blacksmith still has a ways to go before she can make exceptional weapons. I can also friend anyone Being in the guild gives access to the downstair's chest on Helen's Watch, which'll be for communal emergency supplies. I also plan to build a rune library with some helpful locations, although I could probably use some help there myself.

My base is located between the triad of Cove, Minoc, and Vesper. If you're not familiar with UO you can either use the moongates repeatedly to hop around until you get to the one between Vesper and Minoc, or go directly to any of the nearby towns via the game's Help->Stuck menu. You can only use the latter a limited number of times per day however. Map in spoiler.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This Friday I'll be on around 5PM PST and maybe we can do a bootcamp for people who aren't familiar with the game.

Alas, I did not become Queen after my completely unsupported whimsical run. Instead of going Game of Thrones on this Zappa fellow I'll be content about finally getting a forge.

Pretty much the highlight of today's event (NSFW Warning for language)

So apparently I won't have as much to do as I thought today, and possibly tomorrow. Anyone on? Really wish we had a more consistent method for hooking up besides peeking in #AnCorp, finding a somewhat recognizable name, and hoping they aren't idle.

EDIT: Yep, I have today. Personally I'm just gonna keep using #bay12uo on irc.darkmyst.org when I'm playing or willing to play, so just hop on there if you're looking for a party.

Let's all join together and play the Atoning For Having Been a Bigot Game, yay

Yay having to atone for being anti-choice as a minor,  douchey liberal "I'm not a racist/sexist but..." mild racism/sexism a couple years after that, and being oblivious to nuances in many other things.

Still not done atoning, nope :I

My reaction after every Sakura Trick episode: d'awwww

Haruka/Yuu are so damn cute together, and Kotone/Shizuku are pretty adorbs themselves. I didn't expect a Yuri anime placing among my favorites in the season but there it is. Most of the other stuff (outside KILL LA KILL) I'm not excited for like I am to see the show's silly lesbian antics.

Vote for me, as your Queen of Minoc! I promise to get the Blacksmithing town bonus and maybe get a guard or two :I

Okay, so I'm only running because I figured why not. I'm still going to busy for the next 4 days anyways. Who're the rest of you voting for, if you're a town citizen at all?

So I'm going to be homeless again. I failed my classes and lost the stipend from my parents, and all because of stupid social anxiety. I don't have a laptop, so working on my game while I'm on the street is out of the question. Really, nothing is going the way it needs to, and I pretty much feel like killing myself every day. I don't know what to do, since getting a job would require me to get over my social anxiety for longer periods than going to classes did, and getting a job that lets me work from home requires time a qualifications I don't have. I just can't seem to do anything right...

That's... really terrible =/

I hope your luck turns around.

I can probably throw down the money for a guildstone if more than 3-4 of us are active on the server. Won't be on for the next two weeks myself as I'm swamped in finals.

P.S. - Apologies to HugeHead for leaving rather suddenly a few nights ago. Was exhausted after getting enough money for a second small house to secure an area.

Ore types do exist, though so far I've only gotten 1 Dull Copper batch.

Huh. I just turned mine on, to see, and I got onto the Bay12 world, and around the 90 km mark, found a "Helen's ghost".

My ghosts probably litter the dimension, given how many times I had to restart. I hazard to say I'm an ectoplasmic environmental problem.

Found another series that seems interesting. Watamote (~No Matter How I look at It It's You Guys Fault I'm Not Popular!~) <---Full title. Yeah.

Beware Watamote, for it will eat your sanity and soul. Not because of some horrifying twist but rather because the trainwreck goes exactly where you'd expect it to.

I find the ending song adorable though.
