Yeah, that's true.  Well, I gather they've altered the skill gain *again*,
tho, and made GMing really tough now (in terms of how much game-time it
takes to max a skill) so I bet all those twinked-up 7xGM tanks are probably
selling on ebay for a bunch of cash. :)

You don't really need to be powerful to grief in UO.  I recall when [young]
came in, people were creating hordes of characters, DPing the newbie
daggers, and walking en masse to dungeoneers and killing them in hot spots
like the bone knight wall room, making it nearly impossible to save your
loot (and, of course, since the characters were [young], they were ignored
by the nasties).
