Just started UO, watched 5 different guides, this was the absolute best

[@veivekun5215]

Very well done guide! Just started playing in this server and I must say, a tear almost went down my cheek, a huge dive into the past. My love for UO never faded but I think I got mixed up in other mmorpg and never thought about returning. So glad I found this server. And thank you for helping new or returning players! Cheers! 😃

[@JR-kg8ee]

Absolutely loved playing this game. This video brought back so many memories. Started playing it around 1997/1998 for years. Thank you for the guide!

[@darkagebeal]

I neverplayed UO, was alive but too young. So this helps me a lot since I am not familiar at all with the UI and the likes that would have been common knowledge for gamers that generation.

[@MrCortar]

This is a wonderful lil guide and it helped me a lot. I had this playing as I followed along in game. You did a very good job explaining everyhing. 🙏thank you for taking the time to make this 🙏

[@TrilliumUO]

You are so welcome, thank you for the kind words!

[@Dreak117]

Probably the most helpful guide I've found so far. :D Thank you so much. I started UO Alive and just selected Advanced but probably will be changing that. Just get a little wet doing a paladin and go from there.

[@TheBumpyJohnson]

Stumbled across this video while looking for a fun new way to get back into UO after all these years. I'm glad I found this video... I'll be sure to check out the server and this build to get started. Thanks!

[@HasherUSMC]

New to UO Alive and your guides are helpful and enjoyable to watch. Thanks!

[@johnisdead]

Great guide! Very straightforward and easy to grasp; kudos for showing the simple ways to save time with easy macros right in the beginning of a new adventure

[@TrilliumUO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@swaky5138]

I just stumbled upon this video and as a former UO player of 20+ years ago, this brought some very nostalgic memories back. Thanks to you I may have to start a new account. I was never a big fan of PVP so this may be perfect. Thanks for a trip down memory lane and if I get around to it, we might cross paths in game. Keep an eye out for Sir Swaky... Liked and subbed.

[@_Jay_Maker_]

Just wanted to thank you for these tutorials. I'm a _Ruins and Riches_ player and was looking into getting into UO proper. This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for!

great guide for new and returning players from a long break! Thx for sharing

[@TrilliumUO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DannyWelch]

This has to be one of the best introductions to a game I've ever seen. I very recently discovered UOAlive and haven't played UO in years, so I really enjoyed the refresher and tutorial on all of the new features. Thanks!

[@TrilliumUO]

Thank you so much, I'm glad its helpful!

[@dreemage]

Thanks for making this; it's been like 20 years easily and while some stuff I still remember, the majority of it was gone. Really useful vid!

Thanks, Trillium. Your videos were the first things I watched after joining UOA, and they really helped me get started.

[@Znaky]

As a brand new player this helped a lot thanks!

[@DaveD_223]

I played UO when it was released (too many years ago) and I have really been getting the itch to play again. I just setup my UOAlive Classic profile and cannot wait to get started! Thank you very much for this guide, it was SUPER helpful and fun to watch.

[@TrilliumUO]

Welcome to the server! 😊

thenk`s for the help i love this guide.

30:47 I can’t say it any better. I think I smiled and giggled for like 3 mins after you said that, which would normally be great! But, I have a toothache! Ouch. But couldn’t stop smiling! 😂 Makes me happy too. Thx for the vids.

I joined UOAlive today. I saw your message on the Message Board in New Haven atop the bank. 💙 Names Khidge.

[@florianglass2379]

Oh boy. I discovered your channel by chance, and you just made me fall back in nostalgia! I played heavily when UO came out (around '97-'98) and loved it so much. Still the best MMO in my opinion... So I blame you for the hours I'm going to spend on this now XD Thanks for the video, you earned a subscriber =)

[@TrilliumUO]

Welcome back and thank you!

[@BizzaroInc]

Fantastic! finally a guide video that is easy to understand

Pig tails and red hair, just like my first character 25 years ago. I might get back into it

[@GounterUdc]

Hi, nice tutorial. FOr the razor auto looting gold part. I did set it up and it work 50% of the time. DO you have any clue why i does not auto loot on body all the time? I did set up everything like you

[@TrilliumUO]

I do know it can be a little wonky, you have to stand right on top of the corpse. Some thing you might try is on razor enhanced under options there is a checkbox for auto-queue object delay, actions. I like to check that and put object delay at 200 MS. That gives the game a chance to catch up otherwise it might skip actions. Edit: did some testing on another macro and I would set MS to 600.

[@TrilliumUO]

Coming back to this because increasing the range of auto loot to 1 or 2 could also help

[@amandaharding3870]

Fantastic tutorial thank you

[@TrilliumUO]

You're very welcome!

[@Kynick-2501]

Chose this over outlander because I’ll rage quit the first time I get ganked, lol. Been over 20 years since I took steps in uo. Stayed up way past my bedtime last night and can’t wait to finish this shift and be bad at uo again 😂

[@KayJay940]

UOR was a nice t2a shard but same problem and with dwindling population it was just no fun. And recalling / horses in dungeons just flat out ruined it. Full pvp dont work on low pop shards.

[@93simongh]

Thanks so much for this

[@jymcaballero5748]

@@TrilliumUO ill be joining the server with my kid, so hope we meet online someday ;D

[@Xaltotun]

I am just getting into UO and made a char on Outlands and enjoying it so far. Would you recommend changing over to Alive? For me it seems like it has more practical functionalities and not getting ganked by PKers would be a bonus too imo.

[@TrilliumUO]

I used to play on outlands, and while it is a fantastic server, for me, the PK and stealing just took the joy out of my playtime. I totally understand that some people love the excitement of that type of play but for me I love that at UO Alive I can play the game without distrusting everyone I meet😂. It’s the least toxic server I’ve ever been on.

[@Vosmalus]

I'm having trouble figuring out the installation process, there are many places to download and i can't find any videos that go in depth into this.

[@TrilliumUO]

Hey there, I would go to UOalive.com and follow the directions there only. This link might also be helpful? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXmQnKlrn82HhMUsi=56tA9Mpww-fmR5M5

[@Jokester954]

Love the guide! Is Uo Alive a new server ?

[@TrilliumUO]

No, it’s been around a few years!

[@Jokester954]

@@TrilliumUO oh wow. I used to play a ton of UO around 5 years ago and thought I had explored all the free ones

[@PKDanielPT]

Hello, I joined the server a couple of days ago and immediately found you. Nice videos. It would be cool if you could do a tutorial on how to raise taming with macros, I'm kind of lost, I do it on the open where everything runs away. Surely some other people will be lost too. These guides helped me alot! Thank you! Edit: Also, something that would be cool is a fly by of those macros "all kill" "bank guards" etc. And what keys people use. 🙂

[@TrilliumUO]

Thanks for the idea!

[@KayJay940]

3w ago but best way to do taming on most shards is to buy animals from tamer and release them. The same toon cannot gain taming from them but you CAN use another one. You can also do this with multiple tamers and I req skill goes up each Previous Owner up to 6 times. So you can buy black bears for a few hundred. Release. Tame with toon #1, release Tame with toon #2. But you can only do once per toon. Still way faster than running around.

[@Apocalypse_1.0]

Great guide Have you tried Shards of Britannia?

[@TrilliumUO]

Not yet!

[@kristycrow9586]

I haven't played in years. My question is this. Is the farming and the building the same? I loved it. No game has anything like it. I loved how we can build our own furniture like it was real. Cutting trees down was actually fun. And do forget the mining. O those monsters sometimes they would come out and terrorize the towns. The only issue I had about the game back in the day was the slow fighting sequences and the fact the game was too small. It was easy to get to the final boss and then there was nothing left to do but build, be chased by monsters and we had to remember to lock our doors. LOL

[@TrilliumUO]

Yes, there’s plant growing and there are custom houses now. And you can still make your own furniture and chop trees and mine!

[@kristycrow9586]

Thank you for your reply @@TrilliumUO

[@NewYears1978]

I thought you could make custom macros in Razor but I don't see that tab that I am used to..has it changed to the Scripting tab or something?

[@TrilliumUO]

Yeah, razor enhanced is different, it relies more on scripting. There is a record button in the scripting window, though.

[@NewYears1978]

@@TrilliumUOYeah I see now, I am so used to regular razor. I used scripts but also it's macro recording and setup was a lot easier. Guess I just need to brush up on this one =D Thanks for your replies! I saw you chillin in game last night (maybe afk tho)

[@cornetinhasdoAC]

Loved your tutorial, you should play UO Outlands with us!

[@TrilliumUO]

If they ever had a pve server, I would! I love their custom content. Just don’t like the thieves 😂

[@KayJay940]

I might try this shard. Been on many. One question is plate / metal armor useless and poibtless like on some other shards. I spent my UO days mining and smithing so need to wear plate lol.

[@TrilliumUO]

Hey there, from my understanding the plate armor is the same as on live with the innate bonus to stamina loss reduction. As far as I know, the info on UOGuide is correct for UOAlive server. www.uoguide.com/Armor

[@KayJay940]

@TrilliumUO so do people use metal armor. I noticed your character was a paladin but in leather. To me thats meh. I would expect a sword and board character to wesr plate or its just immersion breaking to me.

[@KayJay940]

I just remember is the past in UO that plate reduced you dex by like 20 which made everyone not use it. Once they realized the penalty outweighed the benefit. Always thought that was just dumb

[@PySnek]

so this is what people loved to play before runescape and wow

[@davidrivera2952]

That would be EQ (Everquest). Most people I knew who tried UO left almost immediately because of the rampant griefing and PKers.

[@mikeazdaar4842]

@@davidrivera2952 I played this before EQ. Then I got in EQ beta and kinda left this behind trying to come back into it.

[@ShadoMoosess]

How's the population of Alive? I stopped paying for a sub to play OSI for years now. I've been actively playing as a F2P player on Lake Superior, but I'm tired of the limits.

[@TrilliumUO]

It is very active, there’s always stuff going on. Especially if you get on Discord to see what events or IDOCs are active

[@JakeGittes84]

I am new to UO and opted for Outlands as it seems to be by far the most populated shard. I am also drawn to the shards more true to the original, as I never played it back in the day. At the same time, the nostalgia aspect is not there for me, another reason I may as well play Outlands. So many to choose from. What are some differences between Alive and Outlands except for the map?

[@TrilliumUO]

Outlands has pvp, which means other people can kill you and steal from you. It also has a lot of really cool custom content and skills, and I think the whole map is different. UOalive is strictly PVE but follows the official game updates. Just depends on what play style you like.

[@jasonpenz8902]

Well I opt for Outlands also I like pvp and how the freedom to kill and steal is also what made UO great. What originally ruined the game long ago is when they implanted trammel then everything went to shit. Otherwise is will be another MMO where the reward far out weighs the risk. What's the fun out of that. @@TrilliumUO

[@kingofascalon]

Is there pvp if it's consensual?

[@TrilliumUO]

I think there’s Arenas and consensual guild PVP. But no ganking or stealing from other players.

[@funkycowsx2]

Cool.

[@daledozerx2920]

whoa whoa whoa. we are outlands people!

[@coreyyhart]

Can you make a guide on starting a new mage character 😁

[@TrilliumUO]

I will definitely think about it! If its your very first character on the server I would still go with Paladin to get the gold you need to get a LRC suit for your mage! 😁

[@KayJay940]

UOR is a t2a shard with full pvp. But it dont work as well as you will remember as the population really dont support it. I tried to convince them to do a wipe and maybe regular ones more like a Rust server. But all thw hardcore really wanted to collect bound sandles and fill castles full of rare decorative loot. I think it could have worked.
