WHO wants powerhour back!!!!!!!:grin:

I didnt have any personal expirience with it, so Im not sure if Id want to change away from GGS.

The one thing that it would seem powerhour had/has over GGS is that people would play more than just logging for the .1 and then logging out...

I made a lot of gold during powerhour. Folks would be at the bank scripting like mad for an hour (usually atteneded). They would craft whatever they needed to be crafting for the gains, and dumping bags full on the ground. I'd run around (after asking them if it was ok) and sell everything they made to the NPC's and put the empty bags bag down for them to use again.

Hey, back then it seemed like pretty good money.

What's powerhour?

shiro · 11th November 2005, 06:26 AM

Powerhour wass first hourof gaming you could gain well on each character, 24 hours from last log in, a few friends of mine quit when they nerfed this.

I wasn't a big powerhour fan...I was around then and it was ok. But I didn't like going on to grind for an hour, it's just not my style. I prefer just to go up naturally by playing and having fun..

Just me though. hehe I know a lot of people miss powerhour.

I miss it, people who didn't like it, had the choice not to use it

It sure made taming more bearable.

Thradia · 11th November 2005, 09:07 AM

Aye, taming was well done on a powerhour.

When I was a new player, people made it a life or death thing. I didn't know what it was when I started (since no books in the box talked about it) so when I asked people...they made it sound like it was the only way you could level up in the game! lol

I powerhoured for a long time because I was told too...I still GM'd a couple skills faster then my friends who powerhoured.

Damn them for making me think that it was the only way to level back then though! lol I was a weenie when I started...I'd believe anything.

Yea, I GM'd provoke with powerhour

i came to UO after this power hour thing . I made it with out it and really see no need bring it back , now them gettin rid of 8x8 is the pain . from what i understand this will limit the gains one can get on a certain line . And no i dont use third party programs i manually 8x8 it sucks but so do most rules .hehe

Tukaram · 11th November 2005, 04:27 PM

Don't worry Tradia you're still our favorite weinie!

I was glad to see powerhour go really. I think it had more to do with ruining crafting than anything else.
