Remember when?

Abby · 15th June 2008, 08:14 PM

Do any of you remember when the tillermen use to tell stories? Nobody seems to remember... it was very early on but I SWEAR they did. Didn't they???!

I don't know about stories but I remember they'd talk to you...

holmedog · 15th June 2008, 08:52 PM

I remember them talking to you. Never remember a story though.

Oh I recall they used to say the funniest things!...... just out of the blue and sometimes if you said something just right it would trigger a little tale..... usually hillarious

I remember! NPCs in general used to be rather voluble. Ask where some other player was, and townsfolk would tell you if they'd seen that person. Drop some unneeded items on a shopkeeper, and he might give you a pointer to some treasure lying around (usually at some odd place called 0,0 or something like that).

I used to wish for something to throw at that darned tillerman. Now, I'm a little unnerved by the silence, as if something lurks in the depths waiting to swallow the unwary.

If I don't come back, I've been eaten by a kraken.

Yup, it was one of the many things that I miss about UO, that gave it that uniqueness. Localization of the client was to blame for this, and the npc no longer responding like they used to.

Well they should fix it!

I remember it too. I think what I miss most were the random "Paladins" in T2A. They were pale, bald, naked, and if you had bad karma, would pretty much eat you alive.

Those things rocked!
I remember they had a viking sword, but as soon as they got damaged, they'd equip a spell book, cast in vas mani, then re-equip their sword and continue attacking.
Wish things like that weren't removed from the game, they were great to mess around with.
Although saying that, they were just a tad exploitable, because you could lure one upto that graveyard north of Delucia and it'd attack all the monsters in there and take hardly any damage, heh

Didn't they re-spawn those for the Ricardo Caravan event? My necro-mage had a heck of a time fighting off the evil spawn, as the paladins were attacking him as well.
