Absolutely! I remember when I was new to the game and got my first boat and didn't realize you could double click to get on the plank and this mothafaka basically stamina whacked me walking into me then planked onto my boat and literally just sailed away with all of my belongings. My mom didn't understand why I was so upset, lol.

Lol! Yes, I got massacred and looted by a guild of thieves who called themselves "The Black Hand". Then I joined them.
The murderer path was such a fun way to play the game. High stakes.
I had multiple houses, a tower, and some boats on the Atlantic shard. Made so much gold playing Lord of War selling scrolls on NPC vendors I had posted near moongates. Also spent about a week or so with the invulnerable flag on while most of the staff was on holiday break.
I played on Atlantic a bit but mostly Chesapeake in the early days. I managed to have house in the real shards but did quite well for myself in the early 2000-10s playing on UO Second Age player run server emulator
