Then why play? EA doesn't care about you. Your game play is dependent on the uptime of the MyUO page. It doesn't make sense to me why you'd continue playing.
On the other hand, neither does the status of the MyUO page. Enlighten me. I've been gone a while and am not aware of the handicap I am suffering from the lack of this page's existence and/or functionality.
Why play if EA shows an utter disregard for UO... are you ********? I play UO because, despite EA lack of investment, UO is still in a league all it's own. That fact is a result of it's very dedicated player community and the support of a few Mythic/Bioware staff. If you find no substantial use for MYUO that is your call, however many of us used it's functionality on a regular basis for a variety of purposes. Furthermore, to disable it with a message that clearly indicates a temporary downtime and then leave it unusable is completely unprofessional and serves to highlight EAs disregard for the game.
I am curious though, since you see no obvious use for MYOU, please enlighten us as to the top 10 guilds on each shard and their respective membership counts. I know as a new player to UO or a returning vet that information would be completely useless, but all the same do share with the rest of us.
