The penalties on reds are quite fair, you'll likely want to be established with regs and a home before you decide to become a PK but I know for sure there will be a lot of them playing. Also on IPY short terms are 4 hours and long terms are 8 hours. If you die as a red you'll have to pay a gold fee based on your short terms murder counts. It's a mechanic put in place to stop senseless PK'ing of the Brit GY newbies that has plagued many free shards. I'll be a red myself, but won't end up taking a bunch of counts on people I can easily kill, rather picking and choosing the best targets. Murdering for a living will definitely be one way you can play. This will all be cleared up once the server wiki gets completed. Oh, good - is there increased stat/skill gains like there is on UOGamers Hybrid? The grind in standard UO is just tedious. On a side note, anyone know of any free 700/700 duel/pvp servers? I want to find one to practice mage pvp, but trawling through thousands of servers, given that ConnectUO died a few years back isn't exactly fun. Edit: oh sweet, ConnectUO is back up. | ||

If you never played UO, this is probably your last opportunity for an epic and gaming experience for some time to come. | ||

Pkers would come in and kill us all eventually I got a trapped pouch macro thing working and survived the pks lol about that time I kinda got tired of it since I had no real idea what to do. Well the fear of dying was one of the things that made UO so fun. Risk vs. Reward actually meant something in that game. Unless IPY was different. And ya if you have no idea what to do in that game, you'll be super lost, since the game world is huge, and there are a lot of different paths you can take. | ||

Anyway a few idea's for starting out. 1) Make a fighter character or a (dexxer). You can either create the warrior template or you can do custom and choose from a few templates. Can either do something like 50 healing / 50 tactics, or 50 healing / 50 magery, or 50 healing / 50 resist. It's a good idea as a fighter to pick up 50 healing so you can bandage yourself. Purchase bolts of cloth at the tailors and use siccors to cut the bolt into bandages. You'll start with 150 gold coins so you can hit up the blacksmith, buy some armor and a wep depending on what weapon skill you want to raise (mace, swords, archery, fencing). Before you even step outside of town you can fight the training dummy at the warrior guild to get your weapon skill to about 25.0. Now you can run outside of town, head to the GY and fight skeletons and zombies for gold coin drops or you can fight mobs outside in the forest such a wolves, bears, boars, sheep, after you kill an animal double click your swords or a skinning knife and skin/shear the sheep for hide and wool you can sell back to the leatherworkers for gold. 2) The resource gathering route - Start a char, non fighter, but who will focus on gathering resources from the world to re sell to players or the vendors. A few idea's for this would be to create a char with 50 mining / 50 lumberjacking. This guy will purely be a money making char. Get a pickaxe and a hatchet, start mining ore which you can smelt into ingots or you can chop tree's gather the lumber, cut them into boards and sell those. Ingots and boards are a highly valuable player commodity as you need both those resources to raise blacksmith or carpentry. 3) The crafting route - Similar to the resource gather route, but you instead of selling the raw materials you will be creating items and selling those to the vendor. So for example you can start with 50 carpentry/50 lumber-jacking or 50 mining/50 blacksmith. Chop tree's as carpentry, make wooden shields on mass and resell them for gold to the carpentry vendors. Same thing for blacksmith but start making daggers to sell back, possibly kite shields depending on the sell value. Really only touched the surface but those will be some popular ways to make some coin as we'll all be newbies. | ||
