Shard of the Dead: Vampire Wars!

[Skrag]

The current EMs don't even have as much power as the old ones. They can't even create static spawns for town invasions. EA isn't interested in giving them any more abilities.

I don't blame them. Look what happens when devs are allowed to experiment...glass swords.

Oh I don't blame them for giving glass swords a try. A novely server like this is the place for weird experimentation.

But the players have handed back their verdict and it's unanimous. Time to get rid of the glass swords entirely.

Anyone who knows anything about UO would know immediately these swords would be an absolute nightmare. Goes to show how out of touch the producer/devs are to the game they're responsible for.

I gotta bump this just for the comedy of quotes...

Anything to simplify stuff. Simpler means more of the incapable can participate while the people that are more skilled in certain areas of something (PVP) can abuse the overly simplified material. Once they fully drive out the old players of this game they have a completely new group of people to sell stuff too, and since that group will be full of the inexperienced players that are only used to simple things like Mysticism they can just keep adding things w/o going back and fixing what they already have.

In the end I think they're trying to show a lot of people the door.

So if you made the shard just for yourself why don't you play it so we can at least one shot you over and over till you get fed up and log out due to the ******** sword.

I'm not here to pile on the dev, but man that post made me laugh so much lol.

I'll try and translate at least some of these posts for the devs:

"Supreem, we're glad to hear that you're trying new server ideas and we appreciate your doing this on your own time. However, our attempts to appreciate your efforts keep getting interrupted by one-shot-kill nonsense. Please remove the swords entirely."

Try to be civil, folks!

But seriously, please get rid of those friggin swords.

We've tried that. It doesn't work. Being nice never gets things done. You have to step on peoples feelings to get things done.

Or attack them with a glass sword, ha.

is this active still?

i made a 14 day account, logged into my old server europa for the giggles. realized there was very few online

attempted to login to SOTD and npc names come up but screen stays like a blank screen ; like a login screen

i can hear the backpack noise, then some npcs walking about but i cannot do anything

i attempted to page a gm (when logged into Europa) and got a copy and paste message to billing support - i was soo angry

 

[Babble]

One of he newer patches probably broke the client for sotd

 

[Otis Firefly]

its over..via the herald SOTD is Dead

 

[Skrag]

If you don't like it, then don't play it.

So how did this work out for you guys? Did everyone eventually learn to love the fun and excitement of your precious glass swords?

Laying this thread to rest beside the shard it was about.
