I am going to avoid putting up another wall of text.

The west side of Khosgar could be a great place for 1v1 2v2 3v3 or whatever.

One of the first things I say before our group goes into a fight is your number one job is staying alive. Let me elaborate. Many times players get strung out from the core group and once separated are susceptible to ganging by the enemy. It's important to stay "near" the pack and avoid this. If you start taking more damage or have multiple enemies on you - your first response is to PARRY not turning your back. Do make short runs around objects to create Line of Sight problems for your attacker while you are moving back to the group.

Another element of battle that we all need to work on is our battlefield awareness. We often speak of this and it is important to know what is going on around you. Eyes open scan players around you, look for low enemies and mounts. One tip for this is to maximize the size of your minimap so you know where your group/clan members are with a glance.

Talk often in vent in fights about enemies etc not your parakeet's pile of doodoo looking like the UO logo.

After the fight talk about the fun stuff and discuss what you did that worked or didn't work. DO NOT epene because you died or lost a mount or thought you should have logged off to watch Gilligan's Island instead of pvping. It's counter productive to bitch and bitch and bitch in vent it makes you look like a bitch.

I have started chatting a bit with group members about fighting tactics and what I could have done better (notice my comment - I am seeking input on what THEY think I could have done better - my purpose is to get constructive criticism to improve my skills period - if they ask me I will give them feedback as well).

Before you go into battle be prepared to fight to the death for the sake of the fun of the fight. If you are worried about your gear or grass pixels you are already half defeated - the outcome of every fight I go into is they die or I die. If I am not fully committed to fighting to the death and they are I will lose more often than I win.

In the last couple of days I have looted 5-6 full suits of armor and 4 or more mounts from 2v2 3v3 2v4 that I won.

One last thing is City Defense - if someone calls for help EVERYONE who can should run out and get involved, seriously we have had some great fights lately from this, the 2 v4 that Darka and I got into with 4 fully geared enemies was extremely fun expecially when we both looted 2 dead enemies.

Ryu and Ken were trying to farm birds yesterday when they got caught with low stam by a couple of enemies, I was naked headed out to gather and decided to grab a mount, sword and board and run out to see if I could help with runners. I got there just after Ryu was taken down and Ken was fighting 2. I killed one and jumped the 2nd with Ken. We easily killed the 2nd and neither lost any gear - but without any stam or help Ken would not have lasted against the 2 enemies. If I had just ignored them and ran out to the herb bushes they would both have died without any help.

Don't put blinders on when you are in town we are getting some good fights and experience we can use later by responding to pleas for help.

/fuck wall of text - sorry
