What I would like....but I know I would just be disappionted again
Is a forum where we would have all the people involved with UO sit down and be able to talk about everything. It was interesting to read about UOX. It seems that it feel apart because of the migration. Now, whoever was the dumbass that decided to migrate a project like that in the middle of said project is in dire need of a lobotomy with a spoon. You don't uproot people in the middle of a project like that, or attempt to do so. That's just plain stupid.
I am tired of the 'but we can't talk about that yet' because they keep stringing it along over and over, and never follow up with anything.
And maybe that's it. It's two fold. It's a mission statement at UO that to make up something on the fly, something that's a pretty good tease, and say 'but I can't talk about it/that!!!'. The second part is accountability. UO seems to embody a growing, disturbing trend here in America. The lack of accountability. They REALLY didn't say anything, so they really don't have anything to be accountable for.
I called them out several times over 2 weeks about vinecord sandles. I started a thread challenging them, knowing that all the ones that were in the game were duped, so why wasn't anything done. It was something they knew, and had known for a long time. Why did it take someone like me or anyone else here to point out that fact?
Not a forum like a town hall, because those are scripted. I've been to 5, even spent way much more $$ than I should have, and not a single one has given me anything to say 'yes, this was worth your trip' from EA/Mythic. It's been cool meeting other players of UO, and that's been worth it to a point, but the money would have been better spent on buying more stuff at the Dragon*Con dealer tables or more drinking. Then again, at DC, there is so much free stuff to drink.... I digress....
The previous producer of UO did it (especially at the Atlanta townhall, that was a joke, especially when the guy was saying that moving powerscrolls to trammel would ruin the economy....what economy, the one flowing into his bank account?), the current one has done it. It's been done before, they will do it again. And nothing will come of it, just like before, it would be nice to see them be accountable and answer us freely...
And so I leave this post, disappointed again, knowing that there isn't one shred of accountability by the Mythic.
