killing blues in town?

Go AFK in a building with NPCS or in a safer area like your house if you're worried. It's a feature Ultima Online has always had.

Going afk in a building doesn't help. The annoying thing is that even calling guards after they cast and are still on screen doesn't whack them.

They have to get out of the guard zone by the time the spell hits, or else they get whacked.

Drithe and Nin, you're both incorrect.

You can get whacked outside. plus if you're near NPCS in a building it makes it harder for them (they'll get whacked because the NPCS call the guards.)

Either way, you still take the damage, which means they can still take your loot in town.

UO has always been this way.

That doesn't mean it doesn't need changed. =/

Funny thing, I saw Ahriman (Nilbog on forums) & Love Me (Caffeine Free on forums) try to FS people to death at the bank today. I healed the victims while Love Me & Ahri ran to the healers... Twas my good deed for the day
