A Harrowing Tale...<With Pictures!!>

Gama · 20th January 2008, 12:21 PM

After a good day of IDOC'ing, it was time to sort out my phat loot, as the kids say. A quick rummage through the pile, and I had a full salvage bag of junk. Time to recycle I thought to myself. Having heard on the grape vine that using the 'salvage all' option was risky, I instead separately salvaged the ingots and cloth. Apparently what I had heard was not true ....

Time to page a GM, I thought. So I did. 15th in the queue wasn't a good start, but it wasn't long before the 15th became 12th....

Seeing as we are such a close and supportive community, my neighbour, and I should point out, rl wife came by to offer her support...

Thinking this was going to turn into a long day, I was pleasantly surprised when after only half an hour ....

After which we all went home for tea and crumpets.

The End.

Sorry, I don't get it? hehe... Your point IS?... What?

So why did you page a GM in the 1st place?

Moony · 20th January 2008, 01:07 PM

I thought it was about a harrower... lol. And seriously what is your point?

There is a bug with salvage bags that occasionally sets you way over weight. Only way to fix it is page a GM or somehow manage to cross a server line. Check my weight in the first pic then look at what is in my pack. Thought it was a commonly known bug, seeing as it has been posted all over every uo forum out there. Guess I was wrong.

hehe... Well, that explains "Why" a GM showed up sooo fast... Don't want anymore peeved off players about known bugs... I remember reading about the "salvage" bags being In, but nothing about a bug... or maybe thats why I never tried it... MG, my brain cell is failing... I can't remember the last time I logged in....

Nice story. Glad it ended well and fast for you.
I've never used the salvage bag, so I didn't know about this bug. Thanks for putting it up.
