    A Dump on the Beach Tonight

    After skimming about half a million from my AFK fishing 'friend' to the south, he has finally changed the permissions on his little teleporter thingy. I really enjoyed the habit of sneaking into your house once a week and helping myself to your automated drop offs. However, I long ago took The...

    Whole Series of Lunar-Driven Events

    Short Version: The two moons, Trammel and Felluca, should be in play. Use them to trigger periodic changes in-game. Long Version... Those familiar with UO lore might know of the two moons, Trammel and Felluca. At any moment on a shard, these two moons have a relative position. In ancient...

    Graveyard Gold Sink

    My biggest fear for this server is too much gold in-game. (If stats were public, showing total-gold-on-server-over-time and daily influx, outflow, etc, or whatever, I believe we would witness a shocking trend - and a clear sign of need to dissipate gold). With this in mind, I want to offer...

    Public Container Access Level

    A simple and harmless suggestion: Give players the choice to stash items in public containers at their own risk. They are currently useless and it's a bit of a waste. Alternatively, these currently useless containers could one day be given an opportunity to randomly spawn some contents? This...

    Fame/Karma Recalibration (new)

    In the distant past, there was a suggestion which was irrelevant in essence, but potentially bonafide. Original thread: https://www.uoforum.com/threads/fame-karma-recalibration.76526/ Basically, Glorious Lord is nothing. Top tier karma titles can be made instead to truly represent those who...

    Young Status & Khaldun

    A recent thread about transferring horses to young players reminded me of the young dungeon and got me thinking: If only young players can enter the crypt, then shouldn't they be denied access to Khaldun - which is specifically not for newbies? I suggest that a young player must renounce their...

    Ogre Pastry Chef?

    I am amazed at just how many truly delicious baked apple pies the ettins and ogres take out to play with them. Is there some legendary Ettin baker out there? An Ogre pastry chef with the secrets of shortcrust? I must find him.

    Gazer Spring Season

    Little is really known about the breeding habits of a gazer. Once spawned in huge numbers, such sights are long past. What is known is that springtime brings out the males - and a particularly wet start to the season means that the gazers have had longer to develop. Does this mean we might...

    Cellar Stairs - you had them working for a while!

    They worked briefly about a month or two ago, not long before guild tags were forced on, but have since reverted back. Quick fix? This is incredibly important and should be at the top of your list.

    WTT How much would YOU pay for a Repond Vanq?

    It seems like the price can vary quite alot! ....each will pay his own price it seems. So 40K is way too cheap, and I'm thinking I'd pay at least 60-70K, possibly more now that I think about it. Accuracy and type big factors of course. The more I think about it... the more I pay... but...

    Crossing Paths

    Sitting idle in my house I witnessed a troll crossing paths with an ogre and they started to fight. Did I witness this correctly? I am delighted to think that maybe I did. It was a nice wee surprise and I'm hoping to see more examples of this as time goes on. Such little things are all too...

    FREE THE EV

    I remember a time when casting Energy Vortex carried risk. Many a time I have payed the price for casting EV and what now? No risk? I am shocked by docile EVs! This is fundamentally not right. What's going on? The whole concept with casting these things was that it was not safe to do so...

    Do I need to clear lockdowns to edit property?

    AHOY! I need to make the tiniest little alteration to my guild's HQ, but I can't remember if I will need to remove all lockdowns first? Would I be able to edit house without removing everything?

    I am Housebound!

    AHOY So I've been reduced to being the "house refresh" guy in our team. You see, I lagspike so badly the game is rendered completely unplayable and, well, it kind of leaves me with limited options. I SHALL NOT QUIT! I can't really, I've got property to maintain and some of the guys are on...

    Silver vs. Repond

    One key feature I'm sure many would remember is that improper use of Slayers had inherent penalties. They don't appear to exist here and I'm wondering if this has maybe been overlooked or is a deliberate feature? Slayers had opposition groups - notably Silver vs Repond. Using a repond...

    Ettins Tame Goats

    Nah, not really. Instead, give Ettins a greater passive Detect Hidden skill, making it slightly harder to stealth past or hide near. Two heads are better than one, after all.

    Animal Behaviour: AI Foodchain / Opposition Groups

    In keeping with my intention to suggest little things regularly, I have noted with some surprise that UOF's wildlife is a bit boring.... My suggestion is that some animal behaviour be considered, e.g: Dogs chase cats. Cats chase rats. Wolves chase cows and deer. Birds flee on approach. I...

    Fame/Karma Recalibration

    It has been my observation that Lord/Lady status means diddly - and it is quite normal to be Great and Glorious. I would like to suggest that the accumulation of fame and karma be calibrated to take into account how easy it is (as a Tamer especially) to become a Lord/Lady. Reserve the top tier...
