Title: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Krieger on October 27, 2006, 04:01:47 pm I logged in, and got a message saying: "Thank you for being part of the Ultima Online community for over 6 months. As a token of our appreciation, your stat cap has been increased."
Just wondering: Is there anyone who already had the increased stat cap from before my time, who also got this, allowing a new stat cap of a possible 260? Cheers. Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Delcarakdur on October 27, 2006, 04:03:23 pm I also got 10 + to my cap
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Krieger on October 27, 2006, 04:05:27 pm Hrm. I seem to have got +5, with an almost two year old account.
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Octiovus on October 27, 2006, 04:07:48 pm I got +5 myself with a fourty five month account.
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Krieger on October 27, 2006, 04:28:54 pm I just read this on the UO website:
Question answered! Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Jack Sinist (•̪●) on October 27, 2006, 08:09:41 pm Hah, those who picked a +5 stat increase with the AOS or whatever it was, ages ago must be a bit annoyed. As they don't get a +5 increase in stats.
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Conan Darkmoon on October 27, 2006, 08:16:25 pm I got it too... not impressed. ;D
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Shadwell on October 27, 2006, 08:51:43 pm And here I was hoping for another +5 ;p
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Conan Darkmoon on October 27, 2006, 10:04:53 pm And here I was hoping for another +5 ;p I know, right!? >:(Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Krieger on October 27, 2006, 10:18:06 pm It just wouldn't be fair though, says me!

As they don't get a +5 increase in stats. Yes they did. They got it with AoS! Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Kazuo Shinrai on October 30, 2006, 07:50:08 am With AoS players were given a choice, either +5 to their stats or +5 to a skill of their choosing.
Heh, that is how I GM'ed taming and cartography. But yeah, I am a bit miffed that these days there is hardly any advantage in being a veteran. I mean, first they took away our ethereals (by introducing the Charger) and now the stat bonus. *smirk* Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Khaelieth on October 30, 2006, 01:31:00 pm Veterans have increased skill cap...
But the biggest pro of being a veteran is that you can moan and groan about all the young people that have accounts that aren't even 5 years. Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Kazuo Shinrai on October 30, 2006, 01:43:11 pm Heh don't forget the ability to say
"When my char was about your age..." For instance "When my char was your age the trees in Felucca were still green!" Or, as I loved saying with my RP char (who was named Darius, an old man) in CoY. "When I was your age, Yew was still a forrest!" But yeah, now that they fixed that again... Hey, in a few years I'll be able to say "When I was your age, Yew was still a swamp!" Oh yes, the perks of being a vet! It just keeps getting better and better! Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Krieger on October 30, 2006, 06:36:24 pm My account's little over 1.5 years old..
"When I was your age, Yew was still a swamp!" ..but even I can say that. I feel so privelaged. :P As for advantages for veterans.. I dunno, but that might piss off new players, forever being at a disadvantage. And UO needs new subscribers! Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Khaelieth on October 30, 2006, 07:49:21 pm "When I was your age Elves weren't neon..."
"When I was your age CoY existed" "When I was your age Cove was full of orcs" "When I was your age Trinsy got besieged" "When I was your age I fought Jukas in Yew" "When I was your age we didn't have Trammel/Ilshenar/Malas/Tokuno/Heartwood" "When I was your age I needed to fear PK's" And the last one that drives it home: "When I was your age the Dutch weren't dodgy!" Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Shadwell on October 30, 2006, 09:28:36 pm None dodgy Dutch was back in 1602.
Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Falconheart on October 31, 2006, 03:32:40 am Well my smitty (78 month account) got the +5 stat as well. I recall picking +5 in smitty (to reach 110 smitty) instead of the stat bonus.
Back then when I did it I was later pissed about my decision...not anymore :D It was the only template I personally used to get a skill increase Title: Re: The increased Stat Cap. Post by: Kazuo Shinrai on October 31, 2006, 12:05:38 pm None dodgy Dutch was back in 1602. Just looked it up in the history books, appearantly the invention of dodgyness happened at the same time Dutchland was founded. As for proving I'm an old timer... "When my char was your age, I could lockpick your home, steal your stuff, wait for you to get home, give you a trapped crate, chop off your head after the explosion and store it in my bank box!" Oh yes, UO was so much more friendly in the old days! "Say, this liver belong to you?" |
