Returning player,first time posting on official forums. Since being back was wondering if there are any plans to do something meaningful/useful with all those skill that just seem useless now. Begging, camping, herding, Item identification (and in all honesty stealing and wrestling), Not to mention detect trap, hiding, remove trap, and even arguably healing and poising being almost completely secondary in the use of magery spells. Just something that hass been on my mind about uo for a few years now, and finally decided to post. Would love to hear everyone's feedback.
I would also like to see an effective revamp of the "neglected" skills of UO..... I think that begging was given some better use during Halloween, higher begging would grant a higher chance at getting a rarer Halloween item.... detect and remove trap hopefully might be getting some revamp in this year, if the Team will be overhauling the High Seas and Treasure Maps and, therefore, the chests they spawn.. but definitively I would love to see some love being given to the forgotten skills of Ultima Online....
Camping isn't so much a useless skill, more so it's so easy to get around now that the world just doesn't accomodate it for most. I still use it.
Healing, herding and poisoning I think are in a good state, mastery would be cool, but I'm not broken up about it. The rest yeah, maybe could use some looks.
