Are there any games out there like UO that don't have incompetent designers?
New Legacy was a huge failure.
What else is out there?

This isn't a reply you're looking for but I just want to point out the reason I love UO is that I don't actually have to do any game/event content to still enjoy it. I make my own. And I lurk.

Just something to consider.

If you didn't enjoy the recent Rifted Crown arc, and didn't dig into the Fractured Veil (ongoing), I don't know what to say, but they are definitely not incompetent.

Star Wars Galaxies was probably the closest we will ever get post-Renaissance. Not only did it have former UO leads running and designing it, but it incorporated a lot of things that those former UO dev team members learned while working on UO.

My perennial favorite is EVE Online and putting aside the whole "spreadsheets in space" aspect, it's the closest you can get to the pre-Renaissance/Trammel UO and it's the kind of PvP I like. I go back to it a few times a year.
