I lost all my AOS blessed clothing... Does that count? I didnt like the colors, so I threw them on the ground.. hehe.. Now looking back, blessed stuff saves gold, had I known that back then, never woulda gotten rid of em.

Ohhhhhhhhh, dumb move.

Yah it wasnt soo smart of me, but they were worthless cloaks and shirts, which I dont care to wear anyways, yah someone found something they knew would be worth something, but to me it wasnt sooo bad since I would have never worn it anyways, it doesnt help me in combat anyways...

I quit UO about a year ago (last July) and gave away my house (at Yew Moongate) full of arties, armor, etc. In the end I gave away about 30-40 arties (carapice, etc), several +25 stat scrolls, powerscrolls galore, and several million gold to some good friends.
I ended up returning to UO last may and these "friends" gave me a 100k loan that they expected me to pay back.

Who needs enemies when you have friends?

I've always said there's a difference between a real life friend, and someone you call friend on the internet. Most people on the internet are just selfish pricks. It's not hard to put up a facade of friendship on the net, as opposed to doing it in real life.

language language!! this is a family friendly forum here!!

Not everyone on the net is that way tho, I have developed a few close friendships through the net and UO. When I was stationed overseas, and in the desert, thats where you find out if people are true friends or not. I had RL friends promise to send me jokes and stuff through email....not 1 joke during the time I was deployed. Now some internet friends, I got lotsa stuff sent, even if they were just a quick note to see if everythings goin ok..

I disagree
My best friend is someone who I met on the internet (Through this forum actually) and my trust in him is absolute.

One thing I learnt, and it did take a few years, is who you call a friend and you don't.
Since then, I haven't been burnt many times, although you allways make mistakes with some people, who use information you share with them against you, when or if you do fall out.
But you live and learn.
You need to find true friends Venner.

I have now. I actually have a nice group of friends now who have repeatedly stuck their necks out for me and helped me get back on my feet. Just wishing I had my rares back

I was just generalizing. Everyone's experience really is different. Real life friends can stab you in the back just as easily as an internet friend, it's just more common place to not be able to establish a connection on the web than in real life, atleast from what I have personally seen. However, in this day and age it doesn't surprise me that you guys find people you can trust on the web. I have that as well back in the days of counterstrike with my old clan mates, even though I haven't met any of them. We still keep in touch through our forum and play fantasy sports together even though our CS'ing days are over. Either way, as long as you can realize its just material goods and get over it that's all good and done
