I really dont care about your opinion. If you spend a few minutes in Gen chat you will hear them in about an hour.
Ok. Dont know why I'm bothering to do this. I could be training a pet.
FYI, me and 2 players in my guild, (1 has 2 accounts) can show you just as many active players on any server you like. It's not an opinion if I experience it first hand. When im on next maybe ill take screenshots to show you how inactive your server really is. Just because you and 2 guidles are hidden fighting cu's doesnt make the server populated.
Ill just leave that there.
You cane to visit us and stayed 5 minutes. There were 5 different people talking in chat when you arrived. But you quickly shut down chat when you started being a jackass. Notice how everybody quit talking.
I didnt leave after 5 minutes, I stopped talking after 5 minutes. I counted a total of 9 players actively talking in chat and or at luna. This was spaced through 18 minutes. I ran yew gate, then Fire dungeon, to Despise, to Terra Keep, Destard, then Deceit. Then I ran ice dungeon to ice west, ran back out and checked cotd, through marble. Checked Oasis and Damwin. Checked Papua through khaldun. Nobody. Not a single soul. So maybe there are a few more players in trammel, but while I was there during peak hours, there wasnt a soul in Felucca for the 18-20 minutes I was running around. Either way, lets say 15 people total. That's still a grossly underwhelming number.
it's not all caps, so i know who *isnt* speaking, lol.
I think it would be pointless to hope for a "legacy server" or legacy ruleset F2P, since specifically Messana in a public interview pointed reasons for no legacy server, among which diff players would like diff eras, that the game has evolved past the past eras in accordance with player's prompting, and lack of agreement among players. BUT we can all be surprised when the F2P comes out..Very slim chance of legacy..Fo people that like leagacy and Feluca rulesets, there is already a server, and it has been there for long time. But alternate? Hmm, wonder what specifically..Doubt that the F2P would be obligatory PVP or Fel ruleset, but may have a Tram and Fel parts, just like most production shards, but with the F2P restrictions.
No, there isn't.
Just logged in the game since afew years, after spending in the game probably around 5 years since T2A.
Just for the sake of discussing, I agree with people asking for a classic shard/whatever you wanna call it, with no char transfer.
I understamd that many things we gained since UO:R are not only crap. There are quite few things that would severely be missed but, the way it is now is just the natural "end" of something that mostly relies of few townsands of people that don't want to let it go and that, without new things, they would have let it go yeatrs ago.
But let me tell that, possibly as an extrenal guy that jumped again in for few months (i opted for the three months subscription) I wandered around and this world full of crazyily colored stuff, messy ****loads of skills/properties, completely uber item based is lackign what UO was always (and still is) almost unque: ROLES.
I mean, UO was beautiful because everyone of us could play a role AND make it worth for the community.
People where relying on a good smith, crafting made sense, resource gathering was needed, trading through vendors made sense, high quality items used to be damaged with time, resources spent, etc...
Insurances, fortifying, LRC to almost 99%, crazyily color everything, tens of properties on every piece of ****, etc... killed the core around which the game was built.
Again, I understand why this happened, I understand why people expain that if we forget about years of evolution this would led UO to be boring but this can also bring back balance.
Can bring back a world where, realistically, you can go from ZERO to be competitive and have fun with the "olders", in two months.
This will take away tons of empty, inconsisten expansions, etc... and would probably give back something where the core game design works again.
Just take those those as 2 cents of a returning player that reactivated the account today, will probably spend the next three months around, but probably after that will move out, maybe trying a T2A unofficial shard.
Hope to cross your path in Europa.
With no ability to attack blues I see pvp being nonexistent.
Did you not hear Messana acknowledge the cheating and basically brush it off?? Doesn't sound like there will be much in place to combat the cheating or scripting in PvP. I used to love PvP back in the day but once people started speed hacking and using scripts I completely lost interest. If they aren't going to take a hardline on cheating then I have no desire to PvP... especially from scratch losing all my stuff to a cheater. I have no reason to believe they will take that hard line though when Messana couldn't even say what programs we could use on the live stream... leads me to believe they won't be running any kind of anti-cheats
Isn't a silver weapon technically a weapon with a property?
They had names. Silver sword of vanquishing. Undead slayer with max damage increase. 50% or so.
I know.
Most of the popular free shards have been built from the ground up with modern code, and you’re right, everything runs way more smoothly on them. It’s much easier for the devs too because they can tweak things without worrying about unstable broken old code that could be destroyed by it. UO should never have made the EC, they should have just recreated CC with modern code and all the quality of life upgrades EC has, then re-released it as a mandatory upgrade for everyone.
They've been working on it for seven months and had nothing to demo, no specifics on how it's going to work, or what the timeline for completion is. So I wouldn't go counting my chickens just yet. This new server is just vaporware at this point until they start sharing their progress and details - two weeks after the "big" announcement and we haven't heard anything since.
Yes but..
Nope, sorry. Seven months into a project at the very least they should have a clear understanding of the requirements and acceptance criteria. They should have been able to provide more than just ”we’re going to do some stuff and change some things”.
So about 4 people a day viewed it.
