UO Stalkers...

**Maddux** · 27th July 2006, 02:57 AM

Have you ever had an encounter in game or out?

Z'yloc · 27th July 2006, 03:03 AM

Would this count Griefers following you around killing you everytime you started mining near there house?

**Maddux** · 27th July 2006, 03:10 AM

If you felt you were being stalked, then yes.

Santi · 27th July 2006, 07:10 AM

No. I am a very boring Glorious Lord....I hardly talk to anyone in game and no one has ever stalked me...and they rarely ask for help. I did get into some pvp back in the day...and when I won (rarely) they didn't chase me around griefing. Long answer just to say no LOL.

I just realized this theam... *looks around at the eerie WoW'ness*

Anyway Nah for UO, haven't ran into a stalker yet just unfornate meetings of people I do not like. They seem to ALWAYS be at the least likely place that I was hoping them NOT to be and there they are! O_o but no one is stalking we just have bad luck haha!

I had one on Baja, went to the extreme of setting up female identities on ICQ (he was male) to try and get personal information out of me.

He used to post stupid stories on Tradespot about me all the time, like I stole 50,000 candlesticks from him, yew tables and other assorted items.

I'd say this went on for about 3 years.

Yup, a few people that I've done deals through UO-Auction with. Would meet 'em in game for the sale, and during the whole process I'd ended up putting them on ICQ, and ever since then they'd harass me on ICQ regularly. Nothing terribly bad, just the usual chatting up and refusing to go away.

Purely in game, griefers who won't leave you alone are too many to mention. Luckily they usually vanish after a while.

I have had two (possibly the same person). I run an RP guild and last year some guy built a 7x7 in the middle of our town and and ran around naked and interuptting all our events. We offered to find him a larger spot and pay for his move but he refused. His sign was vulgar about us and we hoped the GM would ban him but they just made him change it. Eventually we just moved.
Then just yesterday I got a war invite from a guild named Inethria Slayers (My guild is Kingdom of Inethria) from a complete stranger. The problem is that its probalby someone I know who is too immature to own up to it.

I know it happens, but not had it happen to me yet, but I have to feel sorry for the person who feels that thet have to follow someone in a game, do they not have a real life or is it so bad that stalking someone on a game gives them some kind of thrill.

**Ally** · 27th July 2006, 12:20 PM

I've never had it happen to me yet, in-game or irl.
