Or maybe for not having a site related to Montenegro, but you could make up for it by starting a really nice blog. I’d subscribe to your feed.

(Can you imagine how embarrassing it is to ask the guy next to you how to get out of Vim? gedit FTW!)

Red, if I started playing UO, would you teach me how and give me free crap because it's your server?

We don't give free stuff (well unless it would be from my player char but I got like, nothing other then the stuff I use lol) but the server is very easy compared to most. That's a result from too many people complaining that it's too hard... noobs. :P The monster AI there is smarter then lot of the people who play. :P

Yea! I subscribed to your feed (as promised), but I couldn’t leave a comment. One day I will get around to getting/setting up an OpenID.

I messed up the DNS, should be back up soon.

I had wwaw in the record when I tried to hit A in vim but was apparently already in insert mode. Vim is annoying to use when remotely connected.

Haha yeah.

Aparantly its very powerful, but I don't quite know how to unleash its full power. I just use it in dire situations, or situations where I'm too lazy to make the file then upload it so I just do it in vim. Stuff like editing dns is easier to do right on the server anyway. (and it gets backed up often anyway)

I gave up and ran to nano. I do almost all local editing on gedit though, and sometimes remote editing too since gedit can edit files via SFTP. I’m a point-and-click kind of guy at heart.

Nope its free. You don't even need a EA account.

Just download the UO ML client and patch up to the end, then install razor.

There's instructions here:

You have to insure stuff but auto renew is turned on by default so when you die they stay insured.

So like, if i insure it once, i don't have to insure it again?

Do I get a mount right off the bat?

How do i set up a afk macro to use camping or whatever so i can get my skills up?

I want to be an uber healer.

Edit: Further reading indicates that different continents or areas have different rules about what can be healed and criminals and such?
Also, should i use the advanced option when creating a character?

Edit Edit: Wow, a .me is like $20 a year...that kinda sucks.

Advanced just lets you pick the skills/stats accordingly. When starting off I would just pick a premade class. But you can easily turn a mage to a carpenter if you want, just need to work the skills. You have up to 700 skill points so you can fit 7 skills that are up to 100 (GMed) or mix and match, like some skills lower. But normally you want to go 7xGM. There's power scrolls too which can bring a skill cap to 120.

With razor you can afk macro stuff. Anything afk that involves getting resources is illegal but skill working is ok.

Okay, so i downloaded it...twice...and whenever i click on the setup thing, it opens a command prompt and shows no data, but my PC is working super slow...is it downloading? Cause it stays there and does nothing for a LONG time.

It just says on the top "C:DOCUME~1FamilyDesktopUOEF28~1.EXE"

Then there's a flashing underscore but i can't type anything...

Hmm thats odd, should be an actual graphical install. You may need .net2 as well (if you have .net3 install .net2 anyway)

.net is just a download from MS. You don't need VS though.

Sounds like a corrupt installer to me. Try downloading it again.

Well it takes like 5 hours to download and I can't sit at my computer for that long, so I just let it go. But my computer goes into standby mode or whatever. I have to press some keys and move my mouse and then i'm prompted to put in my password. Then it'll go to my desktop. The file is downloaded but there's always an error about not being able to connect. My internet connection turns off when it goes into standby i think. Would that effect the download?

Wow should not take that long, and disable standby, all that does is screw up your computer tbh. Just make it so your monitor turns off after some time.
