I voted for Hate It.
Reasons are:
#1. The boss drop system is stupid.
#2. The skill/stat system is stupid.
#3. The loot system in general is stupid. (See #4)
#4. The Congiarium is stupid.
#5. The housing restrictions are stupid.
#6. The obelisk system is stupid.
#7. The inability to rename runes for stores is stupid.
#8. The farming system is stupid.
And so much more...
The fact everyone gets confused how to turn in quests and every quest is turned in differently is stupid.
The clients are stupid.
The font size is stupid.
The in-game customer support is stupid.

I chose "no opinion." This shard was obviously not made for me. It kind of sucks that I anticipated it for 5 years only to be let down, but it is what it is. I was really looking forward to it too. I even subbed for 6 months.
I feel the same way. I waited 5 years for this shard. Kept my account active the entire time. And it's just been a huge let down.
I wish I was as strong as you and could just walk away. But I have this unhealthy addiction that keeps me logging on even though everything about it is awful. It's like being in an abusive relationship. I really don't understand why the devs are so bad at designing. It's not that hard to make a world where everyone can play. They got rid of so many skills its crazy. My friend and I just want to fish. Can't. LOL WTF!
I know exactly what they are doing to. Saving it for season 2, season 3, season 4, etc. Well that's just wrong. I am so disgusted with them.

Just play a free shard. DM me if you need a recommendation.
I had to put a vote in dislike...
Rather than constantly 'innovating' and changing the game — ultimately irritating current players along the way and chipping away at them (while failing to attract their replacements) — I think they should have spent the last few years YOLO'ing a Pub16 style server rather than trying something different, a la NL. NL's been a mixed reception going by this poll. It's painful to see really, all that effort (and at what cost) for a dubious return. I think some of us, in our gut, long expected as much because the game is just old.
Imagine for the past 4 years they had re-constructed a Pub16 server and released that instead, I think we'd have raked in more old players because they'd be returning for that familiar, albeit maybe rose-tinted age. We'd all be returning to that ancient time and we would all basically know what to expect. Everyone has a semblance of what "Pub16" means without needing to say anything else, the name and its idea sells itself, and we'd all be hanging about in discord or on the forums here saying, "my dudes, 3 or 4 years, official classic server", with at least half an idea of what to expect.
There's been endless threads and debates about what moment in time to replicate for a classic UO server, but honestly, I believe it would not have mattered. They would have been able to compromise a vision of Pub16 reasonable enough that it would not immediately deter everyone that tried it — considering free shards apparently manage it.
Perhaps this can only be said with hindsight, but is New Legacy 'exciting'? Has New Legacy drawn in many old players, and if so, are they staying (for any official servers)? Now, how might the answers differ if I were to say "Pub16" instead of "New Legacy"?
For my part, a mix of incomprehension, disbelief and disappointment. However, seriously, good on them for daring to try something big.

Number one exactly that.
Then, it is not possible to please everyone without exception.
And, people are playing NL everyday, I see more folks playing NL than some of the other shards.
Also, it is something new, and will be likely evolving, bugs ironed out, mistakes and broken items fixed etc, with time.
A little premature to condemn the NL.
Plus, it is something new to try and have some fun. Not everything needs to be a blast from the past and memory lane.
I have a feeling they time gated so much because they still have yet to complete most of the game
We'll see how this whole season plays out.
The only reason I play at all is to be able to supplement my characters on production. If I can bring back uniques, great. If not I have a pair of characters I can bring back (two accounts) and don't have to train manually.
I can also use it to see other shards with the characters from it for future seasons...
So, we will see how it all plays out.

I love that Kyronix voted
Is he the one that designed the Titanweave death trap? Sadist
Isn't that what beta is for?
