But the reaaaaly biggest difference between normal people and UO maniacs is that normal people have girlfriends and rl friends .

Ahh, but what if your rl friends play UO too? Isn't that why they invented home networks? Wait, that was for lanning Doom. . . .(and I don't mean the dungeon!)

And I know of at least 1 UO Addict with a girlfriend. . .but man does she get PISSED when he goes champ spawning or something. . .

I thought installing UO on your work computer was done because you needed to learn about all the third party pixel digestion techniques developed by the open source community. "Corporate technological intelligence," yeah, that's it.

Hey, I spent four months evaluating commercial 3d terrain engines. And then I found WorldWind. It's a NASA product to view the world like Google Earth. It's written in C# using managed DirectX. Check it out: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/ So now, does anyone reallllly have to know that C# and DirectX are fun? Nawww.

You find some one posting to a thread that hasn't been posted to in 3 months and call it a "resurrection" and call the poster a "Necromancer".

Congragulations Candle, you resurrected a 3 months dead post. You are now a Necromancer.

maybe..... just dont get caught. As an employer, im sure they wont appreciate it, but thankfully i own my own buisness and i call it my "lunch hour".

 

[Minth]

heh.. I've done something like that. One time I was lighting a bonfire with my friend who I've played UO with since LBR. And anyway, we went through all the recycling bins we could find, and gathered up aluminum cans. Then we tried to smelt them and make ingots. Unfortunately we didnt have enough ingots to make a suit of armor. Lol, good times, good times.

 

[Suffering]

If my husband pisses me off and wont SHUT UP , I daydream about "invising" ahhahahahh

 

[Cyndrz]

Mine is always when I am shoping and when people get in my way and I want to teley over them or when the rude cashier smirks at me and I tell her she is lucky that I am not carring my spellbook. I wont mention the daydreams of the lightning bolts coming out of the sky at just the right moment.

You know you play to much UO if you scream 'I ban Thee!' at your friends when they start eating your hard-earned fishsteaks.

You know you've played to much UO when you can't leave your house due to your fear of being PK'd.

You know you've played to many RPGs if you try to tick more than one large weapon in a backpack (or maybe even one for that matter).

You know you have played to much UO if you can come up with a you know you played to much UO joke...
