ANOTHER UO Token

My son plays UO extensively. Now that he has "gotten into it", it is getting
quite interesting. Though a fan of text-based games, UO visuals offer some
very interesting sights that it would probablly be impossible in a
text-based environment.  Last night a few people on his server of choice
were selling dyed black clothes (apparently created using a bug
exploit/editor program, but thats another story). This color is not
available in the game normally. They were so popular it was like free beer
at a ball game. Finally the vendors (players) made the buyers line up in
orderly lines to wait for service. This was a great site, one which will
undoubtably show up on websites....

"So, for a while you saw the citizens of Ultima Online online."

My son had a blast.
