What do you do for fun in UO?

Talon · 28th July 2006, 04:23 PM

Everything single thing I do in UO is for fun, and when it stops being fun I do something else, with six characters per shard and over a hundred skills to play with, to me the question really should be, what is not fun.

I go mining and lumberjacking for fun too! Crafting too actually. That's probably the reason why my first ever GM skill was Lumberjacking and my second and third were Carpentry and Bowcraft.

I've been working on a stealth so lately I've been sneaking around looking at all things I usually have to run past

Terrance really took the words that I was going to use, but hey...

For right now, I'm stripmining Ilshenar in search of 10 more fire rubies. Beyond that, I like to just walk around Magincia, soak in the atmosphere.

If I *must* go hunt something for fun, I will usually walk from a moongate to a friend's house, leaving brigand, harpy, ettin, troll, ogre, spider, headless, and whatever-else-happens-to-attack-me corpses in my wake.
Then walk back.

As all should know...there is NO fun...:shocked: it is all work work work...fingers movin fast...click click of the mouse...sweaty hands from hours of keg making, running for your life in the mines when you realize you have no recalls and something is chasing you and you are almost overloaded....or someone....!! trying to take a drink or hae a smoke whilst being pummelled by mellie... I say that is not fun !! It is most glorious!! :grin:

pmsl...(piss myself laughing)

My fun is the people...the newbs that I take under my wing and try to teach what I know...and relearning what I have forgotten...talking to friends I have had for years...and talking of friends that are no longer running in the dungeons with me. (or out with a quickness) It is the people I meet everyday and the ones I have yet to meet. I have been off and on UO....since 98-99 mebbe 99-00 (not sure anymore) lol and I have always been drawn back because of the people. But then, that is not fun.....that is companionship...and that is what makes UO special.

I have a request....I am looking for a mate....named Shun/kitiarra was in KSD on Europa...he left after I did in 02 or so...If anyone knows him....tell him...Wasabi!!! I'm back!!

cheers

Go out on community hunts located in Skara Brae Community Center. There's something going on every night, but no pressure to attend. Get to hunt a wide variety of creatures with a great group of folks on Superior Shard.

im a GM Banksitter hehehe
its fun to sit and watch the silly conversations
i tryed to fight once....
then i decided i should just be a banksitting smith

HarleyQuinn, when you are banksitting transform your character into something else with magery or ninjitsu if you can, and see how many people around you do the same thing. It's funny when everyone transforms and you get a mixture of ogres and chickens stood at the bank :grin:

For the past few months it's mainly been beating up on Melisande over and over in hopes of yet another crimson. I do the other peerless as well but only when we can get some allies together to help get the keys. I think my favorite peerless to get keys for and fight is actually Grizzle but those keys have short timers! Sparing with guild and ally members is always fun. Also decorating my tower and organizing all the stuf i've horded over the years. Most recently slaughtering Ophids in Vesper and Paupa for cursed artis and fun gotten 3 so far 2 helms of insight and an armor of fortune.
