UO... Napa Valley... The old KoT tower...

[Cue Ball]

Anyone remember the exact location? (X Y coordinates of the 4 corners of the tower's foundation)
Or better yet, does anyone have any screenshots that show the tower in them?
Any help would be... well... helpful.

[Stifler]

God Damn man you going back....
Dont even know where my houses were.... I know ball parks but not absolutes

[Cue Ball]

hehe, that's just the reason I started this topic. Every bit of info, no matter how small, will put me a little closer to the answer I'm looking for.

UO maps
start there...

[Cue Ball]

After some conficting data for various sources (There were a lot of KoT-owned houses, eh?) I've remembered a couple of important pieces of info about the tower location that I seek...

1) The tower was on the mainland, not one of the ones on an island.
2) Just behind the tower was a small (7x7) house, a wooden house I think.

Arson, I did check out the link you provided. Were you suggesting I email the author of those maps about the location?

[Stifler]

No he was telling you to go look hehe..

I think the tower was on the backside of Wrong wasnt it?

I had enough trouble keeping track of personal houses

Thanks for the maps, Arson. I appreciate it.

Was there a KoT-owned tower west of the brit xroads?
Far west.
Water to the west of the tower, about 5-6 screens away.
Water to the south of the tower, about 2 screens away.

Somewhere around 30o 3' S 37o 41' W?

I wish my memory of this wasn't so damn hazy...

[RedTalon]

Which tower are you speaking of? The "last standing" one? Or a tower that was earlier in KoT's UO days. Myself, I loved the Brick House times. Good days running around that shit with TSO hunting us (me). Mana Magnet!

I know the locations of quite a few of the Towers, we even had a Keep in the swamps at one time. Let me know specifics regarding the time and I can tell you. I know Bob probably remembers as well, might wanna PM him.

Just to let you fags know: The Im Por Ylem is much more stable now that it used to be, Ive actually been playing it. Macroing is legal and ytou can use Razor (its freeware UOAssist) Razor is so much better than UOA. Since you can macro while doing other stuff and/or while afk or while using your computer for other stuff stat and skill gaiun is really fast. I got 1 char to 90s swords in about 4 hrs . Also last night i was macroing in UO while i played Battlefield 1942..it chugged a little but i still got best score in my bf42 game.

Theres always at least 900 people online. I got 2 chars to 2xGMed in a day Theres no stat loss for Reds so theres lots of PKs and Antis who chase them. Theres also hourly Order/Chaos town fights but that shit is hard gay

Anyone?

[Stifler]

Old and busted.
UO is done man, had this arguement 1000 times with people. The only people that play IPY (IN Por Ylem) are the ghey homo faggots that excelled after UO went gay. It has many of the ghey new rules and really isint my favorite version of UO.

Mostly I hate the people that play on it. The developers of the shard are a bunch of power-tripping nutcases and Im sure the server will get fucked over by some power struggle. Plus like I said the players that play now were mostly the post UO:R players that think they pwn the game and in that ruleset they sadly do.

I wont throw money at anything vaguely OSI related. Plus I think IPY sends all the wrong messages to the industry. As much as the makers try to market it as the potential PvP savior, its not. It does more harm than good.

Shadowbane is where Ill be for awhile, Zaels back and seems to be having fun. So is April/RoLAND/Kelso and my bro in law hehehe.

[Bob_McKenzie]

I know we had 3 towers at various times... lost one when the server crashed after I refreshed it, member how fun that shit was? lost another one when I just shitout forgot to refresh it, and I guess lost one when I quit playing for years.

As for where they were, http://kot.deadfishmedia.com/pic/kotpenis.jpg there was one around there. I dun member the nuther ones. I have some screenshots on the other harddrive I'll look at later, but I wouldn't expect much. Being that I'm not a complete homogay idiot, I didn't keep many pictures of scenery and houses.

Now, for returning to UO... I saw it at walmart for $3 a few days ago and thought about it for a good solid 4 seconds before wandering off to the ladies underwear. Not sure I could play if I want, I was a senior counsellor and that stupidass class action lawsuit is still going.

[Doula Doom]

So, what kind of ladies underwear did you buy and are you wearing? Got a pic of that on your other harddrive?

[Cue Ball]

RedTalon - Let me know specifics regarding the time and I can tell you.
Late '99, before UO:R but after T2A.

Stifler - The developers of the shard are a bunch of power-tripping nutcases
Agreed.

First, RiXuS gets greedy and starts to sell gold for real money, then releases the accounts.xml file to the internet when he is caught, which forces the remaining staff to wipe the shard.

Then, Azaroth states that he will no longer help out with the shard because, basically, he isn't one of the people that "can take all kinds of shit from fourteen year olds" yet he still shows up in-game to talk with the same "fourteen year olds."

Next, other then the same old XvX tourneys (I like the tourneys, but not when one fight lasts 45 mins!), I haven't seen any other kind of event in over a month. Right after the wipe, the staff would turn off the guards in Brit or Vesper and let the reds run in to terrorize the blues for a hour or two.

Finally, the server was forced to change host because the owner (Sean) was causing the server to crash whenever he was killed in-game! This just blows my mind!

However, even with all the screw-ups, corruption, & server crashes, I like IPY a hell of a lot more than I do any EA/O$I owned server.

Hmm... That kind of turned into a rant, didn't it?
*looks for meds*

Bob_McKenzie - ...but I wouldn't expect much.
In the age of the Net, I never do. :p
