Also, you can buy extra storage slots at least, which also lessens the need for mules.

I'll miss the old "armormule1" "armormule2" "weaponmule1" characters...had like a dozen account and a spreadsheet to keep track of it all.

First occured to me after a wonderful debate on the merits of NES vs Computers of that era.


But first, cut to commercial!
Although the Playstation is Sony's first console, it originated as an aborted CD-ROM peripheral for the SNES...

Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the SNES's life, Nintendo contracted with two different companies to develop a CD-ROM-based peripheral for the console to compete with Sega's CD-ROM based addon, Mega-CD. Ultimately, deals with both Sony and Philips fell through, (although a prototype console was produced by Sony) with Philips gaining the right to release a series of titles based on Nintendo franchises for its CD-i multimedia player and Sony going on to develop its own console based on its initial dealings with Nintendo (the PlayStation).[91]

Sega Saturn resulted from Sega repeatedly beating their viable console (The Genesis) with a stick til it died and became a dead horse. Which they beat like one! First came the Sega CD which was good. Then Sega decided they wanted a 32 bit component so in came the 32-X which could be used to play 32 bit cartridge-based games or 32 bit CD-ROM games.

Before landing on Saturn, Sega decided to not release Neptune which would have been a single Genesis/ Sega CD/ 32-X solution.



Sega Saturn was eventually released but many sources say it was hampered by having two co-processors. This leads me to wonder if it were the first "dual core" machine?

Its direct competition being the Sony Playstation. In one way did the Saturn excel over PSone was that it embraced traditional 2D gaming from its basic design. In making 3D as good as PSone, it faltered. Sony, also, had reservations about its licensees wanting to make 2D games for their system... games like Dracula X 2: Symphony of the Night (the Sega Saturn version being slightly better because it had two extra playable chars (one of which was exclusive)).

The PSone's biggest defeat was that it could not upgrade with more RAM. But thanks to over-sized cartridge slot it used for peripherals as well as memory cards, the Sega Saturn could upgrade its RAM to 4 extra MB! So therefore the Saturn version of X-Men vs Street Fighter was superior. And other Capcom games like "Dungeons and Dragons Collection" weren't ported to PSone.

(You couldn't have two swappable playable chars in the PSone game. So instead of each player choosing from two choices and having a total of four playable chars there was only two.)

Well, Nintendo had released (in Japan) a "N64DD" Wiki. But this an internal inside-the-company thing. I don't know much about it, but I think there was a Master Quest for "Legend of Zelda: Ocarnia of Time" released on it. Nintendo had stuck to cartridges partly because they'd been burned by Sony and mostly because they felt that piracy wouldn't be as bad.

This limited their game development somewhat because makers of PSone games were cramming tons of gameplay into successive CD-ROMs. This didn't make the games better, but people could brag "this RPG takes 60 hours to complete!!!" By contrast the games on N64 had to exist on a single cartridge.

While N64 also had memory cards like their competitors, most games could store game saves on the cart itself. Nintendo also came up with a gimmick where there ware multiple colors of game controllers and sorta encouraged each kid who played in a family's console to each have their own controller plus memory card.

Sega's new Dreamcast followed the put-the-memory-on-the-controller route Nintendo pioneered but changed it by having LCD screens on their "Visual Memory Units." Nintendo decided on a smaller mini-DVD format for the Game Cube discs (again concerned with piracy). Sony trumped Sega again by using DVD-ROMs while Sega had adopted GD-ROMs which stored one gig on each disc.

Microsoft joined the gaming race presumably because they'd provided the Windows CE license to Sega for making ports between PC to DC & DC to PC easier. Their Xbox was the first console to feature an internal hard drive.


At one point it was rumored that Sega Dreamcast was 128 bit. But I read somewhere that PS3 & Xbox 360 & Wii are just advanced modern PC-type machines with 32 bit processors.

CORRECTION: I have been informed that instead of PC they use Apple-like Power PC tech. ]]> General Gaming Chat infamos http://www.uoforums.com/general-gaming-chat/94381-rods-cones.html Europa Auction: Premiere 18 x 18 Plot in Termur http://www.uoforums.com/europa-trade-forums/94380-europa-auction-premiere-18-x-18-plot-termur.html Wed, 16 May 2012 20:30:42 GMT

The decision came after a nostalgic dream of UO dungeon crawling.

I don't know if I'll be roleplaying Oldscale (those of you from a few years back may remember the Lizardman shaman in league with the vampires). I did make a recent short return but got sidetracked but I don't recall much of what happened than.

What roleplaying guilds are still active?

The first thing is to... I have been working with Merlin Aka Hex on a suit for sampire and i can give you a few hints on how doing an useful (and cheap) alternative to wood armors for that template.

The first thing is to craft the basic leather parts... and it is by far the hardest part believe me !!!

The main goal there is to get parts with as low fire resist as you can : i. e. 3 would be nice although i didnt get any below 4 fire resist using a bit less than 3K leather....

note that i only did 5 parts here as Merlin got glasses to use... aim for the 5 other parts was to get 4 parts with hci and 1 part with dci, total of 40 lmc, 40 stam increase and hpi on the remaining slots.

Once you get you basic parts you need to reforge them using a spined kit with the following settings : 1) powerful reforging 2) Grand artifice 3) Inspired artifice.
3 charges will be taken for each try which is comfortable with a 45 charges kit.

to get HCI (5 is max) pick the Vicious/of slaughter - for DCI (5 mas as well) go for Towering/of aegis choice.

Note that if usually the reforging comes with the mod you wish it may occasionnally be below (4 hci or dci happened to me a couple of times) or you may get an random 2nd mod... which obviously never fit your needs...=)

Used less than a full spined kit to get +5 on the five pieces i did reforge on...

Once you have them all just Powder them and start imbuing... what ever the distribution of resist points is you will have to imbue fire resist 18 on at least 4 pieces : that is to reach the 95 total needed to use lich form without suffering the -25 fire penalty... then you certainly will have to use another 3 slots to imbue resist missing : i had to use 1 slot on 3 items to reach a final 60/86/60/55/65 suit.
Imbued 8 LMC and 8 Stam inc per piece and 5 hpi on the 3 pieces who got a free slot. Once done you have to enhance the set (dont forget to use a forged tool) to get a final 70/96/70/70/75 using the mace and shield glass 25/10/10/10/10 as helm...

The final result gives a very good set for a sampire needing 1) to hit often to benefit from leeches of the weapons 2) mana to constantly cast specials to hit harder 3) good stamina level to sustain direct hits...
Most sampires use wood armors for more or less the same result... at a way higher cost !!
I really think this is a good alternative suit for that char...
A big thanks to Merlin to guide my thoughts along the way...

If you have more questions about it please fell free to post them :)
