UO hasn't had a good expansion since second age. 10 years of sucking.


I pity people who came into this after ren. even more so people that came pub 16 and after.



Item based mmorpgs with random number generators suck. Like the skill raising grind wasn't bad enough they had to add a camping/crafting grind. Whooo



ass holes.





(inhales) sorry for yelling.

But I will say one thing. It's the players that make this the best online game. I've tried many many others, and UO is still better, even if only because it reminds me of how good it used to be.

the 2nd age was one of my fav expansions. New zones were awesome yet so scary at that time (silver serps killing you with poison in seconds, OH****)

Ren wasn't that bad really... Even the implementation of Trammel didn't bother me that much, it was something to pancake about, but I adapted. The game was truly ruined when insurance/power scrolls was introduced.

Actually to yell you would have had to type in caps. And what killed uo was when they went from skill based game to item based game.

It was the items... wait it wasn't just the items. It was taking the fantasy out of the fantasy game.

Now-a-days people play UO like they're logging on to Unreal tournament.

You could say it's the people, but it's also the game the people are forced to play with. They get the item stats that require calculators to figure out, they have soul stones and xfer tokens that make the game feel like a giant interactive mr. potato head. LRC, bandage summoners, quivers, insurance and bonded pets just let them "respawn" and jump back in.

I'm talking about the majority of fel players.

Tram players?

They play the game like it's a single player game + chat room.

(I'm generalizing of course.
)

You're exactly right.


The 20 powerscrolls are pissing me off too. I made a necro bard to solo them since I don't have the leisure to play with other players that often and as soon as I get bara summoned I ALWAYS get pkd.


Fight back you say?


Hard to do with a non powerscrolled char and when I'm fighting ratmages and silver serps against a 5x120 mage or five



And forget paying for a magery or eval or resist scroll.

With all the new lands that the expansions have provided for people to go, why cant they throw the oldschoolers a bone and remove insurance from Felucca? Make it impossible for people to accidentally go there. Bring moonstones back, maybe. I can understand the beef that some players had with the lose-it-all style the game originally had when there was only Felucca and no where else to go. But some players liked that, and would like an area where items aren't invincible.

Maybe we should organize a petition? The THoC petition brought perma grey against thieves. Maybe we can achieve no insurance in Fel.

Maybe a siege type system with one bless per char.


It'd lower the economy inflation, hopefully get rid of item based pvp, and if everyone had a thief, they could steal too.



On a happier note, i've gotten several staff of pyros lol.


Even got the classic "Hey you stole my staff, give it back please"
