SP isn't the same.
I actually enjoy 5 char slots
I don't like my items breaking after few uses
ROT
And less users
I play on atl and cats because that is where I've always played. Probably before most of you knew what UO was.
I'm just one of the few left over people that actually used to ENJOY the game, and don't like the way it's gone. I think it's fine that trammel exists, I'm more concerned with pvp changes, but that doesn't mean I don't like playing in trammel on a crafter or to sell things, or just to have a change of scenery. But yeah, I would like to play under a pre-aos ruleset without having to move to another shard, that isn't that great imo. Personally I think Atl is the best shard and would rather play there than anywhere. But I will always have Catskills chars because of friendships made over 10 years ago. There are still a couple left.
Pretram was great, exciting and fun...and more dangerous than fel is now. Trammel didn't hurt things that much, it just split up the players some, but for some folks that was perfect for them. Fine..
But the aos ruleset with insurance, and the complete devistation of pvp thieves, it just put a pink skirt and blue bow on fel.
And I'm always going to fight for the thief class. They got out of hand at one point like cockroaches, just stealing and gate hopping, and crossing server lines, but to the good thieves, they were as bad as crates.
If insurance were gone, we could fight with cheap weps that you might care to lose slightly, but you can always make, get another from your house/bank, or buy one. Disarm thieving was great, we starting taking weps away from everyone, they moved up to halberds and hammers and broke out the mages. We'd snoop the packs, and the mages would have to divide their regs, warriors the bandies. Combat thieves were very effective, but by far the most powerful class. People fuss about rezz killing, my thief was kos for years by many.
Anyhow, I have stuff to do so I'll quit ranting
Pre-aos fel.....fun
Post-aos fel....completely different game and not as fun, no thieves.
THE END
