Re: Character Search My OU ?
Rebranding uoherald.com is not going to bring in 10,000s of subscribers, not even 1,000s.
Did anybody say it was? No. But cleaning up an incredibly crappy website is a part of a new user experience. It may not seem important to you because you've played for years and you may not play other MMOs, but if a new player comes in and sees a crappy homepage after seeing all of the other MMO webites, it's not going to contribute positively to their overall impression of the game. Nobody expects UOHerald or UO.com to be as useful as EVE or Warcraft or Star Wars, but most of us still can't believe that year after year there are a lot of broken links and that they use Facebook as one of their main communication channels.
From another thread, you and I actually agree though on one thing - if they want to bring in 10s of thousands of new subscribers, it's going to require updating the graphics from something newer than the mid 1990s.
I think it is very obvious which accounts posting here are "paid by EA".

Anybody who disagrees with you is being paid by EA, is that it. I'm glad you just came out and said it, I thought the astroturfing comments were funny.
Unfortunately, EA is spending 10s of thousands of dollars paying a bunch of us to post on Stratics instead of putting it into more developers or artists

Does anybody else in here feel guilty for the large checks we are getting from EA every month?
