PvP isn't very much like pre-aos OSI at all. It used to be closer, but its become more its own thing over time. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing, but it's definitely not the same.

When was insta hit? Was that pre or post AoS? That was at the height of my PvPing.

Pre AOS before any of the special moves came in like concussion blow and all that jazz

Back when OSI was at this stage i don't remember anyone being wand or alchy whores.

there was no bullshit 100 hps of dmg dealt at once from some lame alchy stunner - although i remember glacial staffs.

still this shard rocks, i only have problems with the lack of exp pot timers (should be 15 secs, as currently exp pots are a substitute for mana pots really), and monster loot being dismal - should increase to what OSI standard was; ~300 gd liches, ~1.7k dragons etc

alchemy stunners as they are here sure were possible but nobody did it because of power scrolls which were just as bad really, also less people chugged a keg of potions in 1v1 since using tons of potions in 1v1 pretty much got you made fun of by every serious pvper out there. Those aren't game mechanic inaccuraries though. The glacial staff thing was before pub16 but was still really lame when 2 guys ran around with 111 int and double dumped a charge of the staff on one guy, it was instakill

mana regen during conc blow was faster (I'm sure it was based on your base int rather than adjusted) so pub16 sword tank duels could drag on instead of using conc blow + feeblemind to completely fuck anyone's mana regen rate

gm barbed leather armor gave 20ar BEFORE the cap and most people wore it because fort/invuln armor and vanq weapons were very rare compared to here, but on the flipside armor and weapons sure do break fast here. Though it doesn't matter much because lots of people have so many highend magic items they can actually afford to use them 24/7

the PVP is ok end all the PK chude have a chanse to kill.

but the real Plais, is supose to be Player helping each adeur to kill all the bige end stronge monsteur in the dongons.

in sted of the normal PVP when you aske for a duall befor attaking, In you sharde PVP is more like every one is killing you even if there nor red.

End juste so you now in your sharde, The player kill you animal end take all the Wood or Ore that your where keping. end you now what, the dont became red ???????
you shude dou somme thing for this, he kill my horse end stole like 600 Wood from it. he never hase a conte end after i try to take it back, hi kill me end toke all my stofe. end still not red becose i attack it to have my Wood back.

you can dou what you whante whit the information but im asking every GM to take it end change the bug. if the kill your pet you chude be abole to reporte them, its the same ase killing me. a put all my stock in my horse. if its not posebole then the pack hose have no utilitie.

Wow.
All I can say.

As for the pvp being like pre AoS, I think not even close. Part of the problem is the vast wealth in the economy making it possible for people to go out with like 80 potions at a time. Part of the problem is the mixing of different rulesets from varying time periods. I don't ever remember alchemy being used in so many people's templates. Did GM alchemy even give a bonus to damage UO:R? I honestly cannot remember that ever being the case. Maybe it just goes back to my first point of wealth. Lastly, runics. Period.
