You guys have no idea how happy I am to still see you all playing.  I thought for sure this all was done for good for so long.  I want to get back in, but have no internet at present besides my phone.  If you reply I'll read I'm keeping this page open so I don't miss any replies.

I want in on this.

And allowing players to purchase in game items with money is purely retarded.  Mmo developers need to focus on things that'll bring players together not pull them apart.  For instance UO had one thing other games don't, items you can drop on the ground.  chess boards house decorations the list goes on.  Mmos now do not have that, at least make mini games people can play together in pubs or something.  Have money bets Im wasting my time no developer cares about that or is intuitive enough to think of that, and they certainly don't care what I think.

Yea nothing would make me happier but sadly.  I believe nothing will compare to what ultima online was, and the community.  I had great times in the game, but players these days are more interested in earning meaningless titles, beating quests, and pointless non punitive pvp.  Players these days don't have the old school mentality that most UP RP guild veterans had.  Ive searched a long time for the light, but sadly have embraced the darkness that the golden age of MMOs has died.  I knew Ultima was dying people didn't listen and now its not even a fragment of its former glory.  Sadly its time for me to let go because I'm tired of the dissapointments and empty promises game developers give us these days.

I like the second idea if you got others going with you I'm in.  Only reason I stopped playing was because the whole community died and refused to work together

["Hero and Savior of Cove eh? I ever see this Takji I shall smash his brains in, and he won't even get a trial!"]

*Senior Kurt Alimar walks up and sees the note.*

"Hero and Savior of Cove eh? I ever see this Takji I shall smash his brains in, and he won't even get a trial!"

*Senior Kurt Alimar begins to scribble a note on the door.*

Dear Mr. Takji,
I believe you have something for me and I am willing to pay handsomely for it.  If you could leave me instructions for where you want the ten-thousand coins I will be sure to exchange the money.  Thank you for your services, and you are a hero in my book.

Thank you.

*Kurt sticks it to the door, and walks off with a sly grin.  Unsheathes his axe and says.*

"Looking forward to meet you scum bag, and so is my mace!"

[Cove Rampage and Torture]

Cove Rampage and Torture

*Raziel sickened by the fact its undead brothers never attack its enemies, grows impatient.  The skeleton walks mechnically out of the dark halls, and into a blighted swamp.  As it looks around at the life it curses everything around it.  It begins uttering dark words and drawing it's sword.  Killing birds, horses, gypsies, and children within the shire.  It makes it's way for Cove and the first thing it runs into is a Covian Recruit by the name of Marcus.  The recruit tried to fight but was overwhelmed by Raziels raw dark power.  The recruit fell screaming in pain and Raziel kicked him in the head knocking the recruit out.  The abomination held its sword high to finish the recruit off, when an arrow flew into the skeletons back...*

Raziel Narlam: What isss thisss?!

Me'an Silen: Leave the recruit alone!

*Raziel Cackled, "finally some enemies to be slayed!"  Raziel unleashed a fury of dark magic bringing the Watchman down fast.  Raziel beat and dragged the Watchman towards its lair.  The skeleton was hungry and intended to eat.*



*After the undead arrived at it's crypts it took the watchman inside and tortured him.  Slashing him, feeding brain, chopping up corpses.  Things not meant for the eyes of mortals.  Raziel dragged the watchman to the roof and kicked Me'an off.  Me'an fell a great distance hitting many things on the way down.  Raziel continued to torture the persistant watchman, and took me'an to the roof again.  This time how ever me'an pushed raziel and the skeleton gripped tightly to Me'an hurling them both to the ground.*

*Me'an awoke thinking he had won when the skeletons Meat Cleaver hit him across the back.  Cutting him deeply the skeleton crawled now half a torso at the watchman.  Me'an ran into the woods mortally wounded, and the undead went into its crypts cackling madly.*

*one of the many waves of Undead fought*


It was a most perilous adventure we had to endure as we ventured through the dark depths of Deceit.  We encountered many undead hordes after hordes of undead.  Unlucky for the undead they were up against Coves finest warriors!  Undead after Undead fell wave by wave to our mighty swagger!  Nothing could stop us!

*Covians fighting overwhelming odds*


After we dispatched the unyielding hordes we made our way to the chamber of the lich lord!  We formed and blocked the hallway.  Many lich's wielding powerful magics fell to our might.  During the fight we had dispatched not one, but five lich lords! 

*Covians fighting a Horde of Snakes, Lich's, and Lich Lords!*


Nothing was left standing in the lich room but us, and I'm sure Abbadon lie defeated with his other Lich Lords.  The whole room was purged and then burned!  After the enemy lied defeated I was nay sure what to do.  Burn the bodies or take the staff?  So I grabbed the Lich Lords Staff, and burned the bodies.  Collecting the ashes just in case.  We decided we earned enough gold to head home.  When we got back I divided the gold amongst the men and placed 13,988 gold into the coffers!

*Covians Victorious!*


Loot:
Lich Lords Staff!
13,988 Gold!

Enemy Casualties:
Endless Lesser Dead, Many Lich's, and Five Lich Lords!

Covian Casualties:
None!
