OSI Starts Selling Preleveled UO characters
NinjaPablo writes "OSI has started a new service, detailed here which allows you to pay $29.95 to get a decent character premade for you, and bypass the hours of working skills at lower levels. Most of the player community is in an uproar about the whole thing, since it basically means a newbie can pay a little extra and be as good as an average player right off the bat."

These people should be required to go play Ultima, or Dragon Warrior, where you can't go anywhere without leveling up. Kids these days.. they have pointy clicky things all over the place and don't know what command lines are, and now they don't even need to level up.
Yeah! Good thinking. I think this should be applied elsewhere. Maybe I can pay $29.95 and play against Tiger Woods in the US Open.
My guess is a newbie who pays $29.95 to get ahead, will just get their ass spanked when they get there.

Your hours of work aren't worthless. They're worth precisely $29.95. There's a big difference there. :)

Apparently my UID is 597, not 497. So make that "over #600 punk". =P

I am Nakombo Aragumba, secretary of the recently deceased President Sani Abacha of Nigeria, who was avidly an expert player of the American computer game, "Ultima Online," amassing the sum of 26.3 million gold pieces. Before his untimely death the President entrusted to me control of these sums of gold, in the fear that our new and corrupt government would want to seeking control of this fortune.
My character is constant watched under by Government spies searching for this moneys who have infiltrated the game. It is the asking of your help for the transfer of this gold from my personal Ultima Online character to yours, in exchange you will receive a consideration of 2.3 million gold pieces.
Please contact me immediately to arrange for the transfer of this important fortune, as will be to our mutual benefit.
Respectful of yours sincerely
Nakombo Aragumba,
"Brentley of the Shire"
Apparently, he sat there and did it for several hours while my pal went to a movie and got some grub. Came back, little brother handed the controller to him, and my friend started playing.
A little brother will work for many games where repetition is necessary. You might also want to try this with other small children. Neighbor children can be used in a pinch, under the guise of babysitting, or collect your own!
I used to play EQ for 10 hours a day. Then I met the right woman, got married, and had a baby.
How did you meet a woman when playing EQ for 10 hours a day? Let's see: Eat, sleep, shower (I assume), 10 hours of EQ, some form of school or income. What, did she break down your door and molest you while you were playing EQ?
Does she have a sister?
