This is a /vm/ server for my own personal fork of Adventurers of Akalabeth by Xork, which is a fork of Ruins & Riches (originally known as Odyssey) by Djeryv. The server has been running since March and has been enjoyed by several anons. This is far from a typical UO server because over the course of a decade Djeryv modified the game into an old school sandbox adventure experience designed for solo or small party play. It focuses heavily on exploration with new world maps filled with towns and dungeons, requiring players to find clues to navigate between worlds. The game lacks a central storyline, instead offering random quests and contracts from town quest boards, with hints provided by reading NPC dialogue. There is no wiki and information is much harder to come by than modern gamers are used to. Skills have been rebalanced for better utility, and crafters can open shops and receive contracts if they acquire a house. Resurrecting without paying a tribute reduces skill points, and dungeons are filled with brutal traps and dangerous portals. There's a lot of funny builds you can try out, depending on your character origin you can also get higher skill caps to expand possibilities.To play, you can download the client here: https://mega.nz/file/uBZnSAbJ#_CTS4SqJ3j1YEbXGZ4kQQZrC84971d02QugFJc-98_UServer IP (already in settings.json): 15.204.209.63This includes TazUO (a fork of ClassicUO) and needed art files specific to this server, as well as Xork's player guide. Settings:>stat gain every 10min>vendors always buy rare items>need LOS to see mobs>player corpse bones persist for a year>no hunger/thirst inside banks, inns or houses>vendors have a chance to sell crafting resources (recently rebalanced to make higher tier items much more rare and expensive)>can't sell bolts of cloth/balls of yarn to vendors>all monster races start as evil>spell damage increase cap 150%>lower reagent cost cap 75%
Changes:>strange portals don't have a return portal, as originally intended by Djeryv>messages in a bottle can only be obtained from fishing, krakens, and leviathans>quiver "damage modifier" property changed to a flat 10% except the Quiver of Rage which gets 15% (it had a miscalculation which made high DM quivers OP)>town guards aren't immortal gods (they're still really tough)>the chance for mobs to dispel your summons was lowered from a cap of 75% to 50%>stealth detection formula reworked to better reward skill point investment>necro guild rings were meant to give +10 Alchemy. now they do.>challenging/hard/deadly dungeons are harder>introduced cooldown for creatures that cast poisons using magic. you will see more varied spell use by caster mobs now.Soulbound:Human characters can select THE CHARIOT at the Gypsy to play a soulbound character, which is permadeath with a twist. When you die your gear, stats and skills are lost, as well as your bank and houses. Your body rises as one of the undead and after resurrecting you respawn in a new body in a random location with a random template (Knight, Warrior, Bard etc) that is a bit better than a typical starting character. Soulbound characters don't get any benefit from item bonuses except for resists. Instead, you accumulate "soulforce" by killing mobs that award you fame, which can be used to permanently purchase item bonuses. They will be tied to the "Your Soul" item, which you double click to open the gump that allows you to spend soulforce. You will also have to spend soulforce to increase your soul's level to increase its capacity for these bonuses. Unspent soulforce and the "Your Soul" item follow you through death and re...possession.
neat. where is the server located?
>>1363385Virginia.
>There are many other different elements that you will have to discover on your own. If you enjoyed tales of Conan or Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. If you played older D&D games where characters were in constant danger. If you like older computer role-playing games and want to play something where you simply exist in a fantasy world, then go ahead and give this a try. It was designed to play many different types of character classes, instead of the common ones most people play. You can be a very effective adventurer being a necromancer, alchemist, bard, thief, or assassin. You will get the most out of this game if you try different professions and see how you can navigate the dangers with them. There are a ton of things to do so you just need to pick a path and go as the only goal of the game is what you set for yourself.t.

How difficult would it be to create custom character skins or edit the current ones?never looked into it but was curious
>>1363952Hardest part probably is the graphical part. Ultima reads sprite sheets without any issues.
>>1363952Djeryv added a ton of sprites, including playable monster races, although equipment doesn't display on them.
>>1364184The monster races aren't actual edits of the character model. They're essentially just disguise items that hold the racial bonuses.
>>1363167>>introduced cooldown for creatures that cast poisons using magic. you will see more varied spell use by caster mobs now.bro what? no more poison spam?
>>1364356No more. The great thing is it doesn't necessarily make those mobs easier, since now you'll see them use very effective spells they rarely used before. It really makes the combat feel fresh.
>>1364508based
Here's a big hint for new Odyssey players that didnt fully sink in with me for a while: TALK to as many NPCs as you can stomach, particularly if you're stuck on a quest. You'll learn clues (that may or may not be true) to the location of dungeons, magic items and even entirely new lands. Also, random townsfolk can provide a service like free repair and lockpicking, as well as have special items for sale, but you'll never know unless you TALK to them.
>>1365122How do I talk to them? is it like everquest where I need to type out "Have you heard of the high elves?" and they reply ?
>>1365672No, you just click the TALK option in the context menu. You can't request specific information.
>>1365122They also talk about that sort of stuff in the background, like in the cities and taverns, some of it is gibberish, some of it is valuable information.
Where can I find/download the latest updates of this server?
>>1365964The OP. If you were playing before the new thread and you already had the server gumpart and art files you're still good. For the thread I just packaged them with the latest TazUO. Do you just want those art files?
>>1365976No, not the client, I mean in case I wanna host

I want to play with serious players not former WoW and XIV sissies. Eve Online tolerable.
>>1366011Thank you mate
I made a soulbound character yesterday. I'll keep updating my blog here. Just a reminder, if you don't play soulbound, you're a giga faggot.
>>1366487spoonfeed me about soulbound and why should play this server or UO in 2024?
>>1366490>spoonfeed me about soulbound and why should play this server or UO in 2024?soulbound is a gamemode where you are basically a soul that jumps from body to body, that's a hardcore mode where your character has random skills, and you get soulforce by killing enemies. As a soulbound, the only way you have to get armor is from soulforce. Armor doesn't give you shit. It's a hardcore mode for hardcore people.As for why you should play this in 2024? Well, every single mmoRPG post 2012 sucks cock, there is not a single MMORPG that i would enjoy to play on this year. Hmmm... you also can say nigger without having the whole reddit ghetto to ban and dox you.
>>1366487Based. No one has made a serious attempt at soulbound yet. Lemme know of any bugs or issues you have.
>>1366492soulbound is actually easier than vanillaand neither are remotely difficult
>>1366773>soulbound is actually easier than vanillahow?
>>1366774you get to pick your bonuses so you are easily get all of the things important to your character instead of RNGing into themyou don't have to worry about any of the countless things that delete your equipment because none of your power comes from it
>>1366784>you don't have to worry about any of the countless things that delete your equipmentfair. What would you propose to make the soulbound path harder? a soul power penalty on death?
>>1366784You know what's really important to your character? Skills and stats, which you lose on death. Also, acquiring soulforce becomes harder the more you have. See pic related.>>1366796>soul power penalty on death?This already exists. Once you reach a certain level of power you have a chance to lose bonuses on death.
>>1366807i know exactly how it works, doesn't change what I said in the slightest
>>1366812Except that you're wrong. Soulbound is much harder.
>>1366816>guy that doesn't know anything about the game and makes random changes >somehow knows more than the person that has played for years and actually done basically everything in the game multiple timesretard
>>1366819Yeah, I do. You're wrong.
>>1366827
>>1366812Yeah faggot, now answer, how would you make it harder?
>>1366894He's talking out of his ass. I've actually played SB on Adventures and it is quite challenging and that's with some crutches you don't get here.
>>1366894you haven't paid my consulting fee
>>1366819>>guy that doesn't know anything about the game and makes random changesidk his changes seem p pointed and good. archers were retarded because of OP quivers and anyone could save up for a boat and pretty quickly have a retarded amount of artifacts.
>>1367069>idk his changes seem p pointed and good.This. Most changes made the game more interesting to play. I hate meta gamers so much.
ill try this, what are the peak hours usually? and is there a forum/irc/discord chat group for this server?
>>1367290>what are the peak hours usually?There are none.>and is there a forum/irc/discord chat group for this server?faggot.
>>1367290>what are the peak hours usually?Like that anon said, there really aren't any. We only have a few active players rn, but that's fine because Djeryv designed this primarily as a single player game that can be played with a group of friends on the same server. To accommodate such extremely low pop servers, there are global shared instances for the bank, inns/taverns, crafter basements and some guild halls. If you're in the Underworld and someone else is in Britain, you can both enter your nearest bank and be in the same bank together. It's best to think of this server as more of a shared single player experience than as an MMO. Houses are permanent, player corpse bones persist for a year, the Town Crier reports the deeds and gossip regarding other players, so you get some flavor in addition to what the game itself has to offer. For me, it's pretty cool to be exploring a dungeon and see the bones of a player I've never even heard of, who probably died there months ago. And when there are other players around, well that's just gravy. Plus you can use the thread to ask for help, trade and petition crafters.>is there a forum/irc/discord chat group for this server?No and there never will be. The thread is enough out of game communication.

It looks like shit in my laptop screen.
>>1370107Sadly, some stats in the stat gump don't show correctly.
I played on outlands as my first experience with the game and within seconds of stepping out of the city I got killed and robbed of the few items I had. Wasn't very fun. Any other populated servers out there?
>>1370176The physical and magical columns don't work because the TazUO XMLGump code is using the servuo identifiers for those properties. So I trimmed it to remove the stuff that doesn't work.https://mega.nz/file/qE5h1DTI#r3bCr92QZ9DXVhWBajroYoOI9RKWA5oShCzBawiuWs0The png goes in ExternalImages\gumps and the xml goes in Data\XmlGumps
>>1370208>Wasn't very fun. Any other populated servers out there?No idea, AoA (This server) is a completely different game with a single player feeling to it.
Finding that first artifact feels so good.
>>1370208I think it's funny the retards who play today are the lamest boomers around thinking jank shitter wizard pvp is what the game was about while macroing multiple characters.I played as a kid back in the day when macros weren't known among normal players and it was all about the adventure, my first GM was from simply playing the game and it was in swordsmanship.That's how I like to remember it, those early years up to about 2001, anything after that and celebrated today is just faggot boomers who never grew up or got gud at actual skill based games.
>>1371251>That's how I like to remember it, those early years up to about 2001, anything after that and celebrated today is just faggot boomers who never grew up or got gud at actual skill based games.Agree, meta players are cancer.
Fixed a bug from the AoA Blacksmith update that added a double avoidance check for traps, even completely breaking some of them (notably stone face traps).
So I was noticing some random stuttering that was really annoying and it turns out Razor can cause that. Switched to Classic Assist and no more stuttering.
I think the next thing I'm going to do is clean up some of the grammar in the NPC dialogue, particularly the Town Crier. It's driving me nuts.
Damn Was, you died a lot in the pyramid.
>>1373262Those nigger spiders have lethal poison on hit.
>>1373262Yes, the spiders were annoying, but i also died because i just had to attack that summoner near the pentagram.
>>1373499>Made a fugitive to roleplay as a nigger.>No one plays so i can't just nigg anyone.I can play, finally, now i can just raid cities, right, admin?
>>1373516Yep, you can try.
Aw yeah nigga we movin on up. I was about to do the typical hobo in a tent start, but a giant hawk that I killed to test out a new weapon dropped a grand treasure chest tmap. Got me a 130 point artifact maul and enough gold for a proper house.
>>1370107Is there a way to change the font on the bottom of the paper doll? Installed the UI pack and the font is black and really hard to see.
>>1374090On the TazUO discord search for fonts.mul and download it from the post that comes up.
I accidently hit a good fellow after doing the final hit on some wyvern and making a wall mount. Thinking nothing of it, I walk straight into town and dying by the guard instantly. I lost a shitload of items. At least I still have the wall mount, so I can always reminisce about how retarded I am.
>>1375701You got one shot from full HP? What's your str?
>>137679244, i had 90hp and he did 140 damage if i remember right.
>>1376993what are your defense stats?
>>1377031Physical 47Fire 29Cold 44Poison 28Energy 28I know i have basic bitch gear.
game seems fun, how tough is this to get into?
>>1377455It can take a while to know how stuff works. There is info you should read in help tab. You can buy books and scrolls ingame that tells you how stuff works like alchemy or being a wood cutter, but also a lot "basic" knowledge stuff is in books or from npc's telling you. The part customize UI part was useful in this video. https://youtu.be/W4t4diZMe98?feature=sharedYou have to use some macros with the razor program that opens up when playing. So you can use shortcuts to use items like a bladed weapon on an apple tree to get apples. Instead of having to click the blade over and over again if you want to use it a bunch of times. Also bind skills like hide to shortcuts.Everything else is just exploring and a lot of running away from monsters.Shopkeepers only accept gold, you can convert silver,copper and some other stuff at the bank into gold. Revive at healers/shrines so you don't lose stats and there is a "find corpse" button in the help menu.I never played any ultima game before this, but i think it's fun.
how do i delete my character and start again since I died with no idea how to combat
>>1377490ty for the info.>>1377850Just delete it and start over again, lol.
you can die after logging out??
>>1377987If you log out in non-safe areas (house, bank etc) your character stays in the game for like 10 minutes.
>>1377994>If you log out in non-safe areas (house, bank etc)I worded this wrong. House, bank etc are safe areas that you can log out of instantly. Everywhere else it takes time for your character to time out.
You guys see the ultima legends blunder?Why did they think putting in all that work for a new official UO experience but keeping the dogshit 5 FPS old client was a good?literally so out of touch, but the whole npc conversation thing is legit them trying to ripoff rags to riches 100%
>>1378134Yeah idgi. I think the premise is actually pretty interesting, although far from a classic UO experience. It's more like a new Ultima RPG. In fact I think they were right to not just release an official T2A server and call it a day. People have been playing T2A and every other era on freeshards for nearly 2 decades. What they're offering is something unique. I really like the twist of skill gain coming from quests. Less macroing and more adventuring. Even the alternate universe lore is pretty cool and the changing seasons too. Unfortunately it's all ruined by the terrible client.
>>1378302Yeah I agree but I'm just surprised they didn't utilize the classicUO client when just about everyone who plays the game even on retail has switched to it.Which unironically their new patch has now fucked classicUO from working on retail.
>>1370232>>1370107I couldn't make it work in Ruins and Riches. My profile doesn't save those custom gumps, so i have to set them again every time i restart.
>>1378656You have to ctrl+click them in the menu bar for them to open on login. You'll have to reposition them every time unless you set the position in the XML file.Does anyone have a recall scroll they can give/sell to me? I still haven't found one and I just want the damn spell already.
>>1379087I will be online in about 8 hour or so, I can give you any magery spell. I do still get on from time to time, but I am currently playing in single player with Xork's freshest update too. Remember you can always talk in global chat with typing"[c" before your sentence. Also, help->Chat menu can show current online players.
>>1379180thanks, I needed this, someone tried talking to me
>>1379087Alright, I left the scrolls in the donation box.
>>1379621The dona box clears every 10 minutes or so.
>>1379621Thanks, got mine, but yeah the donation box wipes every 24 hours so the others your left in there won't last long.
Anyone can donate me some alien skins?
Can anyone tell me the benefits of mastering certain skills? is the official UO wiki accurate for this?
Hello, some of the pets are bugged, they don-t do nothing. So far, the bugged pets are Dreadhorn and blue dragon (maybe all dragons).

>>1380161>Nate has yet to slay the nigger inside of himI'll just kill myself once i finish killing every nigger.
Is something like blacksmithing even worth doing on this version of UO?
>>1381032blacksmithing is always worth for the dwarven metal gear and gear enchantment.
anyone knows how to use exotic skins? i can't find a single clue, and i dont want to check the source code for it.
>>1381225You are looking for the fabled Enchanted Pass.Search for some clues(there are) and you can find out where to find it.
>>1381232Oh... i think that i went there and killed everyone there.
I dug up a chest, but after luring these guys away, i still couldn't open it, not even with my skeleton key. I guess there exists a master skeleton key, but no clue how to get it. I don't think leveling up lock picking is a realistic goal either.Any tips?
>>1383964Are you online? i can lend you my master key
>>1383964anyways master keys are often sold by mariners and thieves.
Admin, can you modify all the NPCs that sells reagents and herbs so they sell a good amount please? it's kinda odd that they sell less stocks of mats than the other guys.
Also, can you make it possible to add your other characters as house co owners?
>>1384153Maybe.>>1384201Pretty sure you can.
>>1384276>Pretty sure you can.how :o?
Don't forget visiting my humble shop, NW of Montor!
Tinker shoppe is bugged, it doesn't let me put tinker tools on it.
Also, how many shoppes can i have per house?
>>1384369Double click on property sign, security, add co-owner, target the character you want to add.
>>1385282Don't worry, it looks like every character in the account share housing by default (thanks god).Anyways, tinker shoppe is bugged. I cant feed it tinkering tools.
Big friendly guy.
>>1386008where's that?
>>1386019I don't actually know where i was. The arrow points to the door that leads to the guardian and the moongate towards home.

Been playing before my night shifts the last few days. Neat server! Been mostly exploring and delving easy dungeons with a bushido swordsman, and spellcasters have been kicking my ass. I only played official UO for a month or so, and private servers for a few months over the years, but this has been pretty fun.Probably going to try making a blacksmith soon.
>>1390397>Probably going to try making a blacksmith soon.Crafters are pretty boosted in this server.

>>1390464Yeah he probably makes more off Outlands than EA does the official servers
>>1391115surprised EA hasnt crushed him yetNot that it would matter if they piss off the fan base, most people playing on Pservers have been doing so for over a decade so them getting pissy wouldn't matter.
This is the first UO thread I've seen besides short lived ones I started myself on /vr/. I will check out your server
Well I died on soulbound and didn't get my "soul" back on respawn. came back as a hiding/stealth guy which is cool. There's no cooldown between hiding and stealthing and you get unlimited stealth steps. Dropped my 1k gold onto an npc to learn swords and he took the whole stack. Fantastic.Anyone know what the seafaring skill does?
>>1393075>Well I died on soulbound and didn't get my "soul" back on respawnIf you're using grid containers and logged out while you were a ghost, you have to close and reopen the container to see any ensouled/blessed items again.
>>1393296Good to know. I logged out several times while paralyzed in front of the ankh waiting for rez
>>1393075>Anyone know what the seafaring skill doesIt turns you into a guy that rescues ship wrecks for a living.
I found a dungeon you can own as a house for 1.5 mil. Guess I have a goal, money wise.
>>1394275They look cool i guess, but with that money you could build a whole city of unique houses instead.
>>1394419I mean, those dungeons take up about a small city worth of space too, so it's all on the aesthetic I guess.
Ok dude, i just lost all my gear because time lord is hostile to criminals and he 1 shooted me for 4k dmg. GG
>>1395201I'm soft locked. Never make a criminal dudes, the game really sucks cock if you go for the criminal path, it should be an option even. It cuts content, and makes the game bullshit.

Is there a way to duel/fight other players without getting flagged as a criminal?
>>1396880I dont think so.
Crafting would be so comfy if you could sell your creations without having to click 29385439485 times, and if the game auto detected your other crafting tools instead of having to switch to other crafting shit each time your current tool wears out.
>>1396880I know in the real game guildies had the option to spar, is that in this version at all?Better yet does this version even have guild stones?

Bludgeoned my way through Umbra's dungeon since I didn't have any spells at the beginning. Found where to buy some a few rooms in, but honestly my bludgeon skill was so low that I melee'd my way through just so I could level it.
>>1363167How did you make these changes? I want to edit stuff to fuck around with in a solo server for myself, but I didn't see any toolkit or whatever in the files, just the settings for things like stat gains/skillcaps/whether elephants spawn or not.
>>1418651You have to edit the code to change anything beyond the server settings. Chatgpt is helpful in understanding it if you're not a coder.
>>1418592Umbra is really comfy.
>>1413358kino, I gotta try this server soon
>>1401706We are here, just in the dark.A friend of mine got banned for using a disguise kit to change his name to Nate Haggers.I'm gonna try this server out but Outlands is the most fun I think I've ever had playing UO. And it just keeps growing, def worth a shot. People pitching about too many PKs are just trammies. Not hard to avoid them at all, join a good guild or run tracking, and or learn to fight. I have a thief, lockpicker, and a dexxer/boater. Mad fun
>>1400614Why doesn't Outlands work? I run it on Ubuntu fine
>>1401706the game is insanely boring and a early sandbox gamemost of the novelty from back in the day no longer existence due to meta knowledge and every faggot who play these games in current year cheating via macroing skills over nightI love UO but it's just not a good game compared to what you can play now or revisit, it's literally a auto attack simulator mixed with cookie clicker tier gameplay for everything else
>>1419413What the hell are you doing here then?

>>1419473There are only 2 guys who ever managed to escape skara brae with brand new characters. It's basically a puzzle endgame area.
>>1419473comfy adventure, anon, experiencing skara brae for the first time is really a magical experience.
>>1423778wow, thats huge
Is there a way I can change the magery of this artifact to elementalism? Almost out of Skara and every little boost would be helpful.
>>1426283No.
>>1426283Anyways where are you now? care to describe the stage? Skara is long af.
>>1426377Went through the blue tower which is how I got the artifact. I think I missed a silver shape only thing left to really do is get that then kill the big bad then I'm out.
Escaped Skara with a mostly new character that only went through the umbra catacombs once and died doing that. Elementalist is definitely a good class for Skara with easy access to vendor bought summons, healing/poison curing, and no need for reagents it lets you go directly into the first dungeon without any real gear as long as you spam your spells a bit before going in. Only died three times: twice to chest traps really early on and once after realizing I needed to say a password to use one of the 'things' and getting paralyze spammed. Probably could have done it deathless if I was more cautious/knowledgeable I forgot ten foot poles were buyable.
>>1428870nice, anon
>>1428870Gratz, anon, you cleared Skara with a brand new character in record time, which is impressive. I think that terry and some other schizo cleared it in 1 week or so.
>>1428923I really love skara, it's such a great and memorable dungeon.
Where do I turn off the auto-identifying option?I noticed that if I go into a bank it will attempt to auto-Id everything in my inventory and I can't find the option to turn it off.
>>1429974No idea of what you're talking about.
>>1429974in razor somewhere there is an option about autosearching containers, turn it off
i am going to decorate a home, one day..
I realized this morning, AoA is kind of like Elona in a lot of ways and that's why Im enjoying it so much.
Is this perfect for a complete UO newb or the worst?
>>1442723About as good as anything else
>>1442723This is not UO at all, its a completely new experience.
>>1363166I hate women
>>1446978Did you see that shit yesterday too? Where that tranny blew their last nut in Xork's discord because he wouldn't make a ninja exploit?

Zombies suck, they can't heal with food and they can't even drink
>>1442723Go to outlands and join a mid to high tier guild>18 days agoJesus christ this board is slow
>>1464010>Go to outlands and join a mid to high tier guildPretty much this. Honestly, you can probably go solo on Outlands as generally you'll only really miss mini bosses/bosses, and for PKs in dungeons most larger alliances will have call in teams anyway.
>>1470221I went solo for a long time but you can learn so much from guildies. Watching newbies progress so much faster than I did has shown me that
Beware... The Dark Wizard rises from his lost tomb in Sosaria.
Man I got no fucking clue what I'm doing, I made a skeleton mage and I can't even figure out how to cast any spells and everythings killing me. This game is brutal lol
>>1476506>I made a skeleton mage and I can't even figure out how to cast any spells and everythings killing me. This game is brutal lolkek. You need reagents, you also need to make some tiny bits of money first.
I would love to see a version of this server more oriented to multiplayer. Like... any dungeon higher than normal difficulty require a raid. And harsher punishments, we all love punishments here.
>>1476509If you want a more multiplayer oriented Odyssey then try Adventures.
>>1478295Those servers are so easy. I want the definitive hardcore experience without permadead. I want to feel like i felt on this server when i started without knowledge at every point of the game. I want this to basically be a horror game.
>>1485338What are you summoning, bro?
