I just came back from an almost 2 year break. I'm really having a lot of fun getting reacquainted with the game. The new interface is really good. (I quit when they killed 3D and KR was unplayable on my computer).

I hear that Great Lakes is populated but I've been back maybe 3 weeks and have 2 max lock down houses and know where a few more spots are. That is a sad state of affairs. Not just medium size max, I mean 18x18's. (we need more people)

Sometimes a break is all you need after years of the same game. Building characters and gaining skills are my favorite things and that doesn't change much, so I'm having a blast.

So you've been playing a few days. What do you think so far? (Or are you having so much fun in game you will never be back to see this thread again?)

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if spelling is off posting this from my cell. I have been away from uo for about a year and getting the urge to play again. I've played since 1998 on mainly Atlantic server towards the end. I know uo has tons of problems but with all the new stuff would you suggest a come back? thanks in advance.
wow you are really lucky, when i try to post from my cell phone stratics says my ip is banned :(

the game is not the same from 1998, you might not like many of the changes..

i dont think it has "tons" of problems tho, just people like to complain a lot..

id say give it a try, reactivate an account or sign up for a trial see how things work out.

And the odds of it being something more than 10,000 + hp monsters that dish out 1000 hp of damage per second are how low? :gee:

Hey .. UOin ain't easy ... :)
Don't make them easy just don't make them impossible. We don't have that much HP to stay alive in the first place :) 1 hit kills are never ever fun. Especially that monsters have no restrictions and no lag. Paralize,90 damage flamestrike,50 damage ebolt,100 damage phy attack against all 70's with no casting delay no movement restriction no pause all hit before I can say W!!!! Then Repeat.... Those are not fun.
This.

I don't want boss monsters to be easy by any stretch.. But one hit kills, full screen kills (Tormented minotaur), etc. are unacceptable and DO NOT ENHANCE THE PLAYING EXPERIENCE.

Learn this. Too many of the bosses use the same tired tactics..

As for returning to UO. Honestly, don't. Not now anyway. Wait till SA is finished, the EC is out of Beta, factions are revamped, speedhacking and scripting have been fixed, and combat templates have been balanced.

So in the year 3010.
