A great story about insurance

So, I have had my tamer out near deciet taming polar bears and such. and I decided, hey I will bring my beetle so that I can bring some leather back home.

I get out there and I recall into a frost troll. I die a horrible death and run to find a wandering healer. As I am rezed I realize that my insurance money has run out (polar bears do not eat gold). So, I think ok, I will run back grab my uninsured items and be all good.

Enter from stage Left, client crash...for approx 10-15 minutes. I finally log back in and *poof* I am dead again...and my corpse has rotted.

So, let this be a lesson for the other people new to this whole insurance thing. Keep yer cash in the bank, not in a chest at your house :p

I lost things, but I feel worse about the fact that most of the things I lost was given to me to help me out in my taming endeavors. So, for those of you who trusted me to not stupily loose the items that you so generously let me use, I am very sorry. I know it probably has to happen to everyone at least once, but I hate that i lost gifted gear in the process.

We all had major client crashes yesterday and the day before......at least all the people on the PAS hunt. I crashed about 8 times, just trying to get out of a dungeon. UO is having bugs now, so be prepared perhaps for more of this.

Thank you for the insurance tip.

I'm sure people will be willing to help you get your gear set up again, just let us know what we can do.

Great, you know it is all bevause of the new program coming in. This always starts to happen when they want to start a new program. I remember the one time it was so bad I could not even play the game for 3 months, due to lag. At least not in the dungeons anyways.

The only thing I really am upset about losing was a ring and bracelet, each with +12 animal taming on them, one was + taming, lore and vet.

And I lost a fugly 100% LRC set, but not too worried about that.

A few people are looking already

Tonight at the event I managed to pick up a +15 ring!! and after that I was given a +10 braclet. So, I ended the day having +1 from gear alone. I also hit 95.1 in taming(with jewelry) so I can in theory tame Unicorns, though only at a 0.2% chance according to stratics.

now, i just need to tame some critters.
