necessary? its a matter of opinion
it worked up untill the expantion 100% except ofc the odd tokuno dyed shield that looked wicked and aof with a halo even when under something but well minor bugs.
id say as long as you can find it with links when you type in
www.uo.com or
www.uoherald.com in your browser it should be and was supported until september 8th ^^
i rly would like to see myuo support for SA, even tho i realise that char models and equipment for gargoyles and such need to be put in the scripts and image gallery, but im sure they have a nifty application that could do most of the work for them ^^
