Would probably be very laggy for them.

Here I was thinking (hoping) they would cancel NL after Mesanna quit to free up time and resources and focus on production and a new client that would replace both which would free up even more time and resources to do more major expansions and bug fixes ...

Guess thats not logical tho, just another stupid thought

The Asian shards have always had differences not sure why but I hope this just a copy of regular NL and not additional drain on resources

Japanese players rarely venture into ATL mainly because of the language gap with English speakers, but our reluctance to embrace NL comes from a different place altogether.

Most of us have poured decades into building lives on Prod Shards – homes, collections, friendships – and the thought of starting fresh just doesn't appeal. There's also this growing frustration that the devs have their priorities backward; "Fix the bot invasion with some decent IP bans before pushing new shards!" is practically our battle cry at this point. And frankly, nobody's clearly explained if there's any real payoff for abandoning Prod to mess around in NL, or if we can bring anything valuable back.

When you get down to it, Japanese players want the same things everyone else does. Localized JPN shards are nice, sure, but they're just window dressing that makes NL slightly more accessible without addressing what actually matters. I'm with the many voices saying that this obsession with NL is just spreading development resources too thin and holding back UO's progress across the board.
