A forum under EA's direct control, staffed by EA's own choices, tied to accounts, just like the good old days.
Fan sites be fan sites, official forums be official forums, and never the two should meet.
What a load of crap....Those official forums were rediculous. Post anything that wasn`t "inline" with the current direction of thinking and it was deleted and your account threatened. Your opinion didn`t matter if it didn`t go along with the majority.
Sean's response was pretty much spot on. I have no memory whatsoever of what you seem to remember.Those official forums were rediculous. Post anything that wasn`t "inline" with the current direction of thinking and it was deleted and your account threatened. Your opinion didn`t matter if it didn`t go along with the majority.
Just another thing they were clueless about how to maintain.Alot like websites(uogamecodes.com) that sell their wares and the customer service(or lack thereof) that our monthly fee`s were supposed to cover after they were raised awhile back.
At least without EA in the mix things can get taken care of. Long live Stratics!! Been my home since Ultimaholic swore off them censored/no opinions here... official boards long ago.![]()
Hm. You should check out IMDB.com, plenty to troll thereYou know it's kind of funny you say that about bans being handed out like candy, because I spent most of my time trolling and only ended up with maybe two 24 hour bans the entire time I posted there.
Ha, I never got banned from MyUo.
And that says a lot...la

erm, where did Stratics get the news before uoherald?
Ah okay. Shrugs, I could have sworn that when the last publish hit, I read about it on Stratics way before UOHerald. Maybe I'm going crazy. First it was dropped via Japan though.hehe, no, not possible
Not exactly - they prefer one fan site, admittedly the biggest, but since the staff changes this is the only place they seem to speak to. Perhaps someone needs reminding about the rest of the web as well, just speaking to one set of fans may be the cheapest way to go but ignoring the rest - and that's 'ignoring' quite literally, several have not even been able to get responses to email since Chrissay left. That's just plain bad business sense as well as outright bad manners, at least tell people 'sorry but we don't talk to anyone other than Stratics', rather than ignore fans and hope they go away - because if you do, there's a fair chance they will go away and take their subscriptions with them. I doubt anyone comes to play UO 'because it's run by EA/Mythic', but there have been people leave for that reason....They cater to Stratics before their own site, so obviously, Mythic prefers fan sites right now.
Sillyfoot never banned me, but he did clobber me a few times!![]()
Get out of here stalker.Ha, I never got banned from MyUo.
