I have a suggestion for you all that are getting back into UO.
Start getting in a habit of unattendly macroing. I suggested on the site to download razor from razor.runuo.com. Its a great program, although you will need the 20 some meg .net framework file from microsoft as well.
Even if you cant do that, at least just set a macro to space bar and leave a stapler or something heavy on it just so you repeatidly use a skill. Seeing players macroing unattendly gives me hope that people want to play my shard regularily.
Keep in mind however, OSI implemented a "anti-macro code" which is in effect on my shard as well. The code basically will limit and eventually stop gains if you do not actively move your character. If your standing still, the game thinks your cheating, so they would cut off your skills.
Here is how I would suggest you bypass this anti macro code.
1) Buy a boat
2) go to moonglow
3) launch the boat east of moonglow
4) sail east for aways. There is an area east of moonglow where you can sail N/S and NEVER hit any land. Basically your boat will continuously sail around the world.
5) turn your boat N, and start macroing your desired skill.
If you set that all correctly, you should now be east of moonglow sailing north, working a skill or skills. The moving boat will bypass the anti macro code, even though technically your character is sitting still.
If you guys have anymore questions about this just reply back. Its 3 in the morning right now so I might be rambling on and not making sense =P
