I've been playing Uo since 97 newbie.
I've played the other mmorpgs they sucks in my opinion
There were goods and bads of the way things were, but the changes have gotten rid of both. There is room for all styles of play in this game, instead of it mocking other games, which it has done because of player feedback
but like I said, fel is mostly unused, why not bring it back for the old school UO people who quit and didn't want to be pushed out to siege
the skills and items have changed enough to where you don't even know what a thief is capable of. Fel is a joke compared to how dangerous it used to be (and this is a fact)
We took people into the game and listened to thier suggestions just to get pushed out, it's up to this generation to bring us back in. Like I said, UO is about the players, and everyone against the change is probably playing right now
Playing a game that doesn't make the money of the other mmorpgs, go research it without me doing all the work for you, you'll find it's true.
Instead of pushing out either playstyles, I'm just suggesting a change that uses fel to use all of them. Thief included.
With all of the new stuff since AOS no one even knows what a thief could do, I'm sure adjustments would be needed for either side
more than 80% of fel is unused, and I don't understand why you don't get that.
There is room for the old style players, room for us to adjust to the new stuff, and room for you to adjust to some old stuff. It doesn't even have to touch trammel.
You are like 1000 people trying to hold on to all of america when it would be in your better interest to share, even at a small loss to yourselves.
The increased revenue that it would bring would balance out the few people that just up and quit over fel being changed. Tram is the main player base now.
It might not work out, but at this point, instead of going crazy with expansions and new skills and races, why not try making fel a mix of old UO and new Uo
if it didn't work a year or so later then have an event where trammel just raids fel and takes it back.
It's worth a shot though. Nothing in this game is or should be forever without even going into gold and items.
It's time for a change that will appeal to people beyond your own narrow vision and likes of game play. And hopefully it'll bring back the people who pre Aos thought this was the best game ever.
I'm asking you to consider us, and work the game for us to play as well. There are measures and balances to fit all playstyles in this game
the more playstyles there are (and yes the thief/oldschool uo person are part of it) the more people will play and the more money the game will make. leading to better service, more interaction and more players.
The more support staff you will get, the more items and the more expansions you will get.
It works all around as an idea, because it doesn't limit the game to one mindset or playstyle
At one point, the thief forum used to be the most popular forum on stratics, if you don't believe me, you weren't looking
where are those players now?
gone. lost money, lost interaction and friends, just gone, because you're too narrow minded to share the game with everyone. It's big enough for everyone. If you don't agree, then go log in, and run around fel, hit up every town and every dungeon and come back and report how many people you see.
