Just askin'

Post by riccso »

Hello!
I played UO on UO:Second Age but I wanna try other expanions' stuff,so:

Is this shard running with Age of Shadows or what?
Can I use Razor?(I bet yes)
What's the shard's UOAM IP and Port?
What are the skill/stat caps?

Thats all I think.If these questions are answered already(or the answer is in the Wiki) then sorry but im lazy :roll:
thx

Hi there,

in the core we are an AOS shard yes but a lot of the SE and ML features are in. Part of the ML is made custom, not an exact replica of OSI, but who knows maybe it's even better :wink:

You can use razor, but keep in mind that if you will be using it to gather resources, or well, wealth in any form, then you can only do so if you are at the keyboard (mining/lumberjacking/killing monsters and looting their corpses/etc)

The address and port are: shard.uoex.net : 60 . This is also listed on the frontpage, so in case it ever chages, the frontsite is best for this info.

There is no skillcap. 300 stat cap, and can be raised up to 350 with scrolls from the harrower. All useful skills go up to 120, and the fighting skills even go to 130 using special essences.

Looking forward to seeing you in the game :)

Btw, nice to see someone from a neighboring country. Me and the server are both in Slovenia :)

Well the thing with lag, seems like most players are from the states, but the funny thing is that someone in a relatively well connected part has lag, and someone in the countryside may experience no lag at all. The game was however designed for slow connections so for most people it's lag free.

Yeah, dont worry about the lag. I live in the states (texas) and when I have lag problems it is highly likely that everyone else does too. And in reality, the lag here (when we do have it) is actually no worse than the pay shards. And we are not subject to massive reverts all the time like the pay shards! :mrgreen:

Well I don't want to make any promises on the reverts, if it happens there's nothing I can do about it. But we do keep about 3 different sets of backups, lol, so it's highly unlikely that a longer term revert would happen here. I know how bad those can be so it's one of the things with highest priority for me.

Stats only raise once every 15 minutes I believe.

And yea, LOTS of stuff was added after T2A ... mostly notably you'll see there are resistances instead of just AR (Armor Rating) as well as +stats
