your post suggests that we know what your talking about.

There is no news.
Larisa, when you stopped playing on that account, did you just let the paid time on it run out or did you "close" the account before the paid time was used up? Or could someone else have played on the account after you thought it was suspended and ended up getting the account into some kind of trouble?Nope it's not wrong...

that i hope is the grand planLarisa
just checked a older account of mine, holding a house since welcome back and it opened up fine!!
expect it will fall now lol!! my guess is they will reset house server after this to catch the ones having houses open for a few years without paying!

I brought it up last Return to Brit and they didn't fix it. Just because we can log in all the accounts doesn't mean they are live and will start the timer in 90 days, it could just be like Return to Brit. HOPEFULLY they will fix it and the housing server will get the enema it's needed for a decade. With their track record on fixing housing I'm not holding my breath and will see it when I believe it.that i hope is the grand plan
if it aint it should be,,,hire me EA!!!
Surely if all accounts have become live then when they close again the 90 day timer MUST bcome active on every single house in uo...if they aint used..like many castles/keeps on every shard ...they really should drop after 90 days
Good point here. We actually have taken a LOT of time on the backend to make sure this doesn't happen. We know that the majority of our players put time into their homes, so we taken a few precautions to make sure this does not happen.I can't wait for for my 10 houses on 10 shards to start to decay due to some "unforeseen glitch" with this new system.

Oh. A sort of free to play option you mean? Has anyone here any ideas on how that might or might not work for UO?It isn't a bad idea I think Lord of the Rings they are going to allow some limited free access but if you want more charcters and stuff you pay.
:bowdown: BlackRock LarissaI also play a f2p game called Jade Dynasty. I love it. When I left UO I played a game called Twelve Sky, then Twelve Sky 2, which were both decent, but all the while looking for a game that came even CLOSE to the depth of UO, and there just isn't anything out there.
Sure some games have SOME of the aspects that make UO what it is, but nothing will ever ever EVER come close to being as immursive (Spelling fail) as UO.
Paying $12.99 a month for this? TOTALLY worth it, and I'm glad I am able to play again.
Bringing new players here? Not easy...what with all the amazing 3D graphics and games out there, but graphics is just PART of what makes a game enjoyable. The *younger* generation is so different, and UO doesn't meet their criteria in many aspects, most people watch YouTube videos of a game before they decide to play..and if I were a teenager looking for a game to play, and watched a video of UO, I wouldn't play...putting myself in that mindset...having watched videos of the 3D games that are out there and then this one..no I wouldn't play...graphically it's seriously lacking in terms of what's *on par* right now.
It's like growing up with Sesame Street...and then watching it now....I don't like the new Sesame Street cus it's not what I grew up with...but that doesn't mean it's not good or even better.
Transformers...I grew up watching the cartoon (yeah im a nerd) and I had my Optimus Prime super cool toy...when they came out with the movie I was hesitant to watch it, and I was blown away.
Kids nowadays NEED that intense mind-blowing in your face graphics that they are used to seeing on a daily basis. So getting new players here is gonna be a challenge, but one that I am confident can be overcome.
Getting the word out..getting the name out...the 14 day free trial is awesome, let people KNOW about it...the new player guide? WAY outdated...it still says on there you can choose between 2D and 3D.
Put boxes out for the anniversaries, get some exposure...start doing the townhall meetings again, bring it to the people...UO will prevail, it just wont' be easy, but then again, nothing ever is![]()
