What she said! Pretty useless to have a poll like that on a board infested with 2d whiners that are afraid of change.If the choice is which client do uhallers users prefer, I think classic will win the preference vote.
Actually a few of us are not afraid of changeWhat she said! Pretty useless to have a poll like that on a board infested with 2d whiners that are afraid of change.
I enjoy the game for what it is. If I wanted to play a new game, I would.Actually a few of us are not afraid of changeEC FTW

Same game, different client. The game plays the same from a content and mechanics standpoint on either client. Difference is, for people with a machine constructed in this decade, the performance on the EC is approximately a billion times better. Plus no "need" for UOAsssist and such with the EC - it has most of that functionality built in and then some. Plus other modern features such as, you know... hotbars... arbitrary keybinding... etc.I enjoy the game for what it is. If I wanted to play a new game, I would.
Sounds like you're trying to have it both ways with one foot in and one foot out. Seems to me, you're the one who's afraid of change.
Don't troll and let us vote!The only thing I'm trying to decide is whether to lock this thread before it becomes too much of a troll fest.
ROFL.... yea change.... thats it. rolleyes:Actually a few of us are not afraid of changeEC FTW

Why would you lock this thread? This gives stratics users a chance to show which client they prefer. There are other worse troll threads right now that aren't locked.The only thing I'm trying to decide is whether to lock this thread before it becomes too much of a troll fest.
Decide what? 2D is a long completed and stable client while EC is a client that's still in beta and has graphical bugs & glitches, not to mention a lack of stability. That's like asking if you'd prefer the fully built and pristine '67 Corvette or this half built '09 Vette.Decide.
I'm about to tell you the truth. Try not to get angry. It's not a personal attack. Every 5 years you will be a completely different person. You will look back and think "How could I ever have acted that way? Why did I think like that?" It's just how things are in life. You grow and mature.Here's the deal neil............take a look at the thread........"how old are you"....count, all of the players pushing 40 or older.
What you have are players not wanting to change, they are accustomed to their ways and change won't happen. I'm over 40, but an optimist, I will try different things. I see the user interface as one of the biggest hang-ups for this older generation.
Yes, there will be some younger, that won't care for it.....bottom line, what's a poll like this going to prove? That the original poster just wants to see players bicker and argue?Probably.
There are things in life where older is better, car quality. todays cars are tin coffins, more plastic than tin.
you get my drift.....routine will always rule.

That's an easy one. Have them send a poll to everyone on the mailing list and keep it a secret. I don't need to know the answer. THEY need to know the answer.Decide what?
If the choice is which client do uhallers users prefer, I think classic will win the preference vote.
But what does this decide?
THEY = the devs? You do realize that they already have a much more foolproof way of seeing who uses which client and how much, right? They don't need a poll from one site to tell them that (which by no means represents the entirety or even likely the majority of uo players).That's an easy one.

Have you even tried the EC in recent time? stability has greatly improved and most of the glitches are gone now. there are still bugs of course, that's why it is a BETA, not a finished product. But it's getting better with each patch.Decide what? 2D is a long completed and stable client while EC is a client that's still in beta and has graphical bugs & glitches, not to mention a lack of stability.
Let's face it: if graphics are the primary reason you game, UO is simply not your game in the first place.The graphics in the EC are incredibly ugly, it's not about refusing to change, Guildwars was released in like 2005 and has way better graphics than the EC, if EC looked like Guildwars, I'd switch in a millisecond.
Funny that I've been playing 2D for 10years without a problem?Let's face it: if graphics are the primary reason you game, UO is simply not your game in the first place.![]()
Why yes, yes I have.Have you even tried the EC in recent time?
Which pretty much proves my point. I'll take the '67 Vette that I can just hop in and drive away with than the half built '09 that still needs a ton of work just to get it on par with the other.stability has greatly improved and most of the glitches are gone now. there are still bugs of course, that's why it is a BETA, not a finished product. But it's getting better with each patch.
And why are these not part of the actual product instead of having to be programmed outside of the game programming? Seems to me that if they are so wonderful, they should already be part of the game with no additional installing needed.Also if you apply some of the fabulous (and legal!) mods that some great people have done, it get's even better and the usability of it flies!
I was in the 1st stage of the original beta and tested all the way up through the first week after open beta was released. I'd say that's a good sight more than a week or 2. Bugs and glitches that I reported in closed beta are still present in the game today. 'Splain that Lucy.I get the feeling that most people that are flaming the EC never gave it the week or two you need to adapt to a different client surface.
10 years is being generous, I would place them more around 20 years old.. at least 15 since it had been in development that much longer than it was released, and they certainly weren't state of the art (or art of the state) back then. They were actually a step backwards from some of the older Ultima games.Funny that I've been playing 2D for 10years without a problem?
But why would I play a client where the graphics are worse than 10 year old ones?
o i hear thatBah, who cares what your neighbor uses? Mythic said they will support both clients, so what's the problem? Why is it a competition? I don't care if more UHallers prefer Classic to Enhanced. It's not gonna influence my decision at all.
Same here. I love the EC.Actually a few of us are not afraid of changeEC FTW

It would probably be the same or more. Not everyone reads the Stratics UO boards, or even if they do they don't post. I've talked to many players in game who use the EC. Most don't even know about Stratics.*edit* Wow, EC preference numbers more than a third of the polled users as of this writing. I wouldn't have thought that many based on the amount of anti-EC posts that fly around here. That's a fairly decent share.
I want to make sure it is understood....
As for my vote, I use the EC 100% of the time, but voted Other because I feel that they screwed up by downgrading the graphical quality of the EC while the 2d client remains in existence. If it were a compromise to close the 2d client it wouldn't be a problem IMO. Without closing the 2d client, it's a useless downgrade of graphical quality for no benefit.
And yes, the "other" client I would prefer would be a completed KR client.
