Yeah, there were some people who said they would quit because 2D would be taking away from the dev's time. They wanted KR only for SA and eventually do away with 2D completely.
Other than the quitting part, that is the position I hold. Not out of some misguided hate of the Legacy client but because I I believe it would be better for the game as a whole to do so.
The only way the playerbase will adopt a new client, is if the user interface mimics the 2d UI.
This is the very reason I hated UO3d and have hated KR since it's release. I play Ultima Online... when I log into Ultima Online, I want it to look and
feel like the game I have been playing for over a decade now... not some stupid WOW, cookie-cut clone.
Upgrade the graphics... cool, I'm all for that. Add options for different UI's... cool, I'm all for that. But don't hand me something that doesn't resemble what I've been playing and loving for over a decade now and expect me to be satisfied with that kind of an "upgrade."
I want a backpack that allows me to drag items anywhere... not a bunch of boxes with an item in each... and I want it to LOOK like a backpack... not a brown box. I want a chest to LOOK like a chest and not a grey box. And so forth...
I want to cast a spell and it not go off until I click the target.
I want what I have right here, right now. I will not settle for less, but I will consider any offers for more.
The End.
