Guards can now be called on you

[schlong]

Hello, first time UO played here

I find the game generally confusing but there is one thing which confuses me more than anything... About 3-4 times so far I have ran into a shop in Britain and died with this in my journal

Guards can now be called on you!
Arrest this scum!
Thou wilt regret thine actions, swine!
You are dead

I have no idea what I keep doing wrong but it's getting to be annoying

Also, what do I do after I have killed the dragon in the first newb quest? are there more quests?

 

[Belbie]

It's obvious...you're trespassing. Don't you know that you can't go into shops unless you're invited in.

Just kidding...I have absolutely no idea. Page a Gm for help?

what's in the journal right before 'guards can now...'?

Probably attacking an npc?

Don't loot blue corpses, don't attack people, and if you do, don't do it 8 tiles near npc

 

[Young Star]

if you are in warmode and double click an NPC you will attack them.

 

[MANKRIK]

if you are in warmode and double click an NPC you will attack them.

The option "alert me when I'm about to perform a criminal act" (or whatever it's called) is on by default so he wouldn't be able to accidentally attack them without first clicking ok to the "this will make you a criminal" gump. Not sure what it could be though if it's happening multiple times.

The City of Britain is known to be a city of veganism.... so if you eat meat and enter the city, you will be frowned upon by the citizens and you may anger them to the point where they witch hunt you and kill you.

The guards are running a protection racket. You probably just haven't paid your fee yet.

New players might believe your jokes if you don't state that's a joke.. since it's an mmo and anything is possible I think I will have to leave the city when I want to eat meat..

 

[Cheapsuit]

@schlong We are all joking here but like a couple of others have said, you may be accidentally attacking shop owners. Make sure your cursor finger is silver and not red when you double click on anyone.

Many witty trolls gathered here

Just keep in mind that you lose the chest itself and the content will be on the ground.
