Before you consider applying for membership, it's important to understand a few things that you MUST have or do, as well as a few items that we strongly recommend.
Required for Membership:
1. Being a registered member of this message board.
2. A valid account with either ICQ or AIM (ICQ can interface with AIM accounts).
3. Downloaded and installed copy of UOAutomap. (FREE)
4. A willingness to role play a ninja in some capacity.
Recommended Items:
5. A valid and registered copy of UOAssist.
6. A free copy of Ventrillo
Explinations:
*1. This message board will be the primary link between members of the Guild. If you don't check the board regularly, you will most assuredly miss items of interest you need to know.
*2. Instant Messaging is the key to effective guild play within UO. Without some sort of instant messaging, there will be limited ways to meet up and take part in UO together. IM software is a must. ICQ is the most used IM program we've found in use in the UO community and serves as our primary means of IM communication.
*3. UOAutomap is a free program that you can run in a small window out of the way of your main play window, and functions much better than the stock map on UO. You can connect multiple players on the same map using one system as a server. By connecting, you can all see where each other is, send "party" type private messages without others seeing it, and can send out an alert to let others know you are in dire need of assistance. Considering that as Ninja, we operate in stealth a great deal of the time, UOAM allows us to "see" where each other is located so we can still work as a team.
*4. The Blue Lotus Clan was created for UO Players who are looking for an opportunity to Role Play a Ninja. Pretty simple and straight forward.
*5. UOAssist costs money. So we can't REQUIRE you to get it. We're all already paying the monthly cost to have UO running. Added expense isn't what we're about. But there's no other program that helps make your UO interface easier and more manageable to play than UOAssist. I'll never understand why it wasn't incorporated into the game itself, and I think that was a true mistake. Regardless, it's something everyone should get.
*6. We currently have access to a Ventrillo server for voice communications. This is an excellent way to coordinate group efforts in game. We highly recommend it to all our members.
The only required item not listed, to prevent me from looking like an idiot for even mentioning it, is that you must have a working registered (non hacked) UO account.
Hacking is something that each of us have encountered at some time or another while on the internet. Your use of such items is a crux you must face on your own. No judgments here. But hacking or using a hacked copy of UO or UOAssist is not cool at all. Don't do it. Why? Sorry, don't have the time to discuss it. Just consider these two programs as sacred and move on....
